Additional notes
L'Acephale began as a solo project of Set Sothis Nox La that is the leader and the mind of this group; then joined to this project other components.

In French language "Acephale" means "Headless".
Acephale was a secret society and journal in France just before WWII set up by Georges Bataille; they felt that the modern world was sterile and wanted to to go back to a spirituality that was more in line with tradition, "a spirit of the body and not a Christ god". Bataille was heavily influenced by Nietzsche, but specifically rejected fascism.
