Ah....back now from my lessons.
Yes...well...Cthulhu mythos, yes. It has always inspired and stimulated my mind, the imagery is amazing and so vivid, there are countless options. Lovecraft has created a world view that is believable and (at least to me) realistic. I can sit and ponder the history of the world and build theories around it related to the Great Old Ones and all their minions. I love the dark side to the whole genre and work
with the entities, just as the cultists in Lovecraft’s stories do. I have aligned myself with their force and manifest their plan in this world by working with them and them through me.
I have read Lovecraft for much longer than I have anything about the occult, and so when I really got serious about magic and read Liber Null + Psychonaut and Liber Kaos I discovered the ‘Azathoth Conjuration’ and dived in. I don't think that I have ever looked back from that point on. I have always known that if I believe that I'll go mad then I will, and in some ritual events I have almost felt that I have, but I know that I am working with these forces and not against them and that I have nothing to fear. Insanity is part of the equation, but then it is with all magic, I have just chosen a path that you have to really be careful in. I have worked with Lovecraftian entities and am on good terms with them. I am helping them to actualise their eschaton!
Hell, I even have a Shoggoth above my bed on my book shelf lol!
