21 Paths to the Kingdom of Darkness (Finnish: 21 polkua pimeyden valtakuntaan) is a collection of essays in Finnish that largely presents the tenets of David Myatt's Order of Nine Angles movement. The movement supports accelerationism, i.e. promoting the collapse of society through terrorism and sabotage. The movement's worldview combines theistic Satanism and far-right ideology; the movement despises the typical forms of Satanism in Western countries.[1] The idea of the Order of Nine Angles, represented by the book 21 Paths to the Kingdom of Darkness, is also marginal in the circles of both esotericists and extreme right-wingers. However, the current gained somewhat more visibility in Finland around the years 2018–2024.[2]

According to researcher Jussi Sohlberg, 21 Paths to the Kingdom of Darkness was published in 2018.[1] Myatt's writings were published in Finnish on Ylilauta already in 2017. The translators urged readers to rise up in armed rebellion.[3] The police have regarded the book as a guide on the "satanic path" to human sacrifice and terrorism. The author of the Finnish work is unknown, and there may have been several authors. The author of the book is named "Louhi lodge", not to be confused with the Louhi Lodge of the Star of Azazel satanist movement that supports civil rights and egalitarianism.[1]
