www.cultofcthulhu.net/c2convention.htmthat's the direct link. you can also find it by clicking on the Alien Demons, Swords and Magic portion of the main website.
also, my interview with Mythos artist Paul Carrick can be found at the Eldritch-Infernal.com site. if you don't see any updates, refresh your screen a couple times.
any further discussion of the C2C should be posted on this thread.
Ia! Ia! Cthulhu 2 Convention!

if you pre-pay and end up not being able to go, i can't do a total refund unfortunately. however, i will definitely mail you a signed copy of the new Cult tome, Liber A:O with no additional cost to you. at least that's something.
glad you guys approve of the online flyer. we'll all have to spend the rest of October getting the word out.

VS that would be legit. at least id come away with a book and consider the rest a donation which is fine with me. so as i understand advance tix for Cultists is $55 with that $20 discount?

For those of us that cant make it or even those who were there, Why not video it and sell us the edited Highlights on Dvd. Some of the talks and workshops sound really interesting.

VS you could take up a collection and we could help offset the dvd production costs. i dont know how such things go, but im sure you'd be taking a hit if you did it all "out of pocket". this way, you have some help, those of us that can will donate what we can and help make this happen, and this way, its not something "sold" to us. i realize in a way this may just be semantics, but i find that in this world a lot of the time just the name of a thing, what you call it, makes it what it is, even if there's no difference between it and calling it something else, you know? this sound reasonable, everyone?

VS Why not? What about a minimal cost to cult-members, and an increased price to non-members? It cost money to make DVD's, why incur the cost on your own? That doesn't make much sense to me VS.

I had an idea.
I belly-dance, and I thought an interpretive dance might be appropriate for such a convention.
"What if Cthulhu Awakens...."
thoughts?

almost forgot!
just got a confirmation email yesterday that my friend and local LHP magician, Benjamin Pierce will be giving an Enochian presentation at C2C... hopefully tying Enochian into the Cthulhu Mythos.
Benjamin is extremely knowledgeable about a great many occult topics, and i'm thrilled to have him as a presenter.

VS Why is Enochian a common theme in LHP theologies I wonder? Personally, I find it utterly useless, and am often scratching my head at it's inserted use in Satanism and other LHP's. Aside the chess game, Pfffft. Is it the language? Is it the symbolism (it was originally an angelic language)? Is it because LaVey used it as 'filler text' in the SB? What is it VS? Explain this to me.

Wisconsin is a bit far from my place, but not terribly considering that there's plenty of time to plan. If someone who can drive lives in my area, I could possibly rent a car, picking up people on the way and splitting the cost would save for everyone. It takes a responsible driver though, the unwritten twelvth commandment of the Satanist is "Thou shalt not crash a rented vehicle."
VS: would what I mentionned apply here?

Oh, sorry I wasn't clear! I'm in Québec City. Instead of multiple bus transfers, sharing a rented car may be cheaper if someone can drive.
But my question was about my participation offer which I described by PM, a month ago or so.

in other news, i just posted a blurb about C2C at www.Disinfo.com if you get a chance, take a look and vote for the article. anyone that needs a short and sweet summing up of what C2C is all about, is free to copy/paste my blurb in their promotional efforts.

Somes exemples :
« Now a veil of olive and silver is drawn over the stone, only I hear the voice of the angel receding, very sweet and faint and sorrowful, saying: Far off and lonely in the secret stone is the unknown, and interpenetrated is the knowledge with the will and the understanding. I am alone. I am lost, because I am all and in all; and my veil is woven of the green earth and the web of stars. I love; and I am denied, for I have denied myself. Give me those hands, put them against my heart. Is it not cold? Sink, sink, the abyss of time remains. It is not possible that one should come to ZAA. Give me thy face. Let me kiss it with my cold kisses. Ah! Ah! Ah! Fall back from me. The word, the word of the aeon is MAKHASHANAH. And these words shalt thou say backwards: ARARNAY OBOLO MAHARNA TUTULU NOM LAHARA EN NEDIEZO LO SAD FONUSA SOBANA ARANA BINUF LA LA LA ARPAZNA UOHULU. When thou wilt call my burden unto appearance, for I who am the Virgin goddess am the pregnant goddess, and I have cast down my burden even unto the borders of the universe. They that blaspheme me are stoned, and my veil is fallen about me even unto the end of time. » _ The Cry of the 27th Aethyr
« 1. By the burning of the incense was the Word revealed, and by the distant drug. 2. O meal and honey and oil! O beautiful flag of the moon, that she hangs out in the centre of bliss! 3. These loosen the swathings of the corpse; these unbind the feet of Osiris, so that the flaming God may rage through the firmament with his fantastic spear. 4. But of pure black marble is the sorry statue, and the changeless pain of the eyes is bitter to the blind. 5. We understand the rapture of that shaken marble, torn by the throes of the crowned child, the golden rod of the golden God. 6. We know why all is hidden in the stone, within the coffin, within the mighty sepulchre, and we too answer Olalam! Imal! Tutulu! as it is written in the ancient book. 7. Three words of that book are as life to a new aeon; no god has read the whole. 8. But thou and I, O God, have written it page by page. 9. Ours is the elevenfold reading of the Elevenfold word. 10. These seven letters together make seven diverse words; each word is divine, and seven sentences are hidden therein. 11. Thou art the Word, O my darling, my lord, my master! 12. O come to me, mix the fire and the water, all shall dissolve. 13. I await Thee in sleeping, in waking. I invoke Thee no more; for Thou art in me, O Thou who hast made me a beautiful instrument tuned to Thy rapture. 14. Yet art Thou ever apart, even as I. 15. I remember a certain holy day in the dusk of the year, in the dusk of the Equinox of Osiris, when first I beheld Thee visibly; when first the dreadful issue was fought out; when the Ibis-headed One charmed away the strife. 16. I remember Thy first kiss, even as a maiden should. Nor in the dark byways was there another: Thy kisses abide. 17. There is none other beside Thee in the whole Universe of Love. 18. My God, I love Thee, O Thou goat with gilded horns! 19. Thou beautiful bull of Apis! Thou beautiful serpent of Apep! Thou beautiful child of the Pregnant Goddess! 20. Thou hast stirred in Thy sleep, O ancient sorrow of years! Thou hast raised Thine head to strike, and all is dissolved into the Abyss of Glory. 21. An end to the letters of the words! An end to the sevenfold speech. 22. Resolve me the wonder of it all into the figure of a gaunt swift camel striding over the sand. 23. Lonely is he, and abominable; yet hath he gained the crown. 24. Oh rejoice! rejoice! 25. My God! O my God! I am but a speck in the star-dust of ages; I am the Master of the Secret of Things. 26. I am the Revealer and the Preparer. Mine is the Sword - and the Mitre and the Winged Wand! 27. I am the Initiator and the Destroyer. Mine is the Globe - and the Bennu bird and the Lotus of Isis my daughter! 28. I am the One beyond these all; and I bear the symbols of the mighty darkness. 29. There shall be a sigil as of a vast black brooding ocean of death and the central blaze of darkness, radiating its night upon all. 30. It shall swallow up that lesser darkness. 31. But in that profound who shall answer: What is? 32. Not I. 33. Not Thou, O God! 34. Come, let us no more reason together; let us enjoy! Let us be ourselves, silent, unique, apart. 35. O lonely woods of the world! In what recesses will ye hide our love? 36. The forest of the spears of the Most High is called Night, and Hades, and the Day of Wrath; but I am His captain, and I bear His cup. 37. Fear me not with my spearmen! They shall slay the demons with their petty prongs. Ye shall be free. 38. Ah, slaves! ye will not - ye know not how to will. 39. Yet the music of my spears shall be a song of freedom. 40. A great bird shall sweep from the abyss of Joy, and bear ye away to be my cup-bearers. 41. Come, O my God, in one last rapture let us attain to the Union with the Many! 42. In the silence of Things, in the Night of Forces, beyond the accursed domain of the Three, let us enjoy our love! 43. My darling! My darling! away, away beyond the Assembly and the Law and the Enlightenment unto an Anarchy of solitude and Darkness! 44. For even thus must we veil the brilliance of our Self. 45. My darling! My darling! 46. O my God, but the love in Me bursts over the bonds of Space and Time; my love is spilt among them that love not love. 47. My wine is poured out for them that never tasted wine. 48. The fumes thereof shall intoxicate them and the vigour of my love shall breed mighty children from their maidens. 49. Yea! without draught, without embrace: - and the Voice answered Yea! these things shall be. 50. Then I sought a Word for Myself; nay, for myself. 51. And the Word came: O Thou! it is well. Heed naught! I love Thee! I love Thee! 52. Therefore had I faith unto the end of all; yea, unto the end of all. »_ Liber VII
We know by oncle Grant : « It is probable that the word transcribed by H. P. Lovecraft as 'Cthulhu' is a variant form or corruption of Tutulu »
Tutulu to which he gives the guematria of 66 as 'qliphoth' and 'Great Work'
66 is also the sum of the 11 first numbers and Abrahadabra in its full developped form.
In same way :
« I am I. I have shut myself up from the spendthrifts, my gold is safe in my treasure-chamber, and I have made every living thing my concubine, and none shall touch them, save only I. And yet I am scorched, even while I shiver in the wind. He hateth me and tormenteth me. He would have stolen me from myself, but I shut myself up and mock at him, even while he plagueth me. From me come leprosy and pox and plague and cancer and cholera and the falling sickness. Ah! I will reach up to the knees of the Most High, and tear his phallus with my teeth, and I will bray his testicles in a mortar, and make poison thereof, to slay the sons of men »_ The Cry of the 10th Aethyr
We easyly recognise Choronzon/Yog-Sothoth.
