I’m very satisfy with the Liber A . I feel myself with a new powerful energy after reading it. I now have more confident in the teachings of CoC . It goes farther in the eldritch wisdom than the first tome of the bible, And deeper into hidden mysteries I ever taught. It bring forth new challenges. I’m glad the CoC paradigm is not static nor limited; it evolves wider and wider, Including the previous elements, the other main paradigms of the Left Hand Path(4th way, Satanism,Chaos,Mythos….). The emphasis is put here in awakening, almost throw the half of the book. I think the first tome gave us the first initiation,then K’T the second and with Liber A:O, we will Have after implementing it the third initiation. The state of consciousness perceive in its words is very high. The hidden power behind is too powerful ,I can feel it (Ahraev'Nuszeth'Kaiul ) . I’m convinced this inspiration is from the A:O themselves ,from the far country where they dwell. I have found the Laws very interesting, as something I had glimpses of before but did not fully realise the importance ,and the impact of it.I now understand them and have the possibility to be conscious of them and even try to alter them or their influence on me. I’m very grateful of You ,VS and give a great thanks for sharing these knowledge with us cultist. Ia K’T ! Ia A:O !!!

thanks. i'm glad you found the book useful. feel free to post a short review on the lulu page:www.lulu.com/content/5979673yes, on the surface of things it seems like our lives just go in a certain direction at random. however, there are factors which weigh circumstances in the universe's favor. kind of like at a casino. the house never loses, right? except the house is the universe. it takes a special technique to beat the casino.
most poor saps just keep playing, hoping they'll "get lucky". as you and i both know, Cultists make their own luck.

and this is Madguten's code for the Liber A:O banner. this should work for myspace, and ning social network, and probably a few other sites.
i'm just re-posting the code again because i think it's a great way to spread our emerald tome...

Oh, and I finally know what my cult name means (based on the book) 'Persistent Independence' man, that suits me just fine :-) I am a persistent person, and Independence has been the theme of my life. Starting at age 13 when I petitioned to become a ward of the Commonwealth, my emancipation as a minor at age 16.5, and the rest, they say - is history.

I read it and loved it.The vocab I printed up for reference.All I can say is I am inspired after reading it to move towards positive change and to think outside of my usually selfish self.I am determined,not just to try but to do.
I was skeptical for the longest time here but I never gave it a chance.Now that I read it this time around though,I was forced to think about things about me I didn't like and the failing war of I's .Venger,I got a new respect for the Cult of Cthulhu, the AO and you no doubt.I intend on doing what I can to awaken and bury the negative cynical defeatist I was.

ahm The A:O is a wonderful work imo not so long ago I too was VERY skeptical not just of the work but of the CoC and its members... iam sorry guys lol consider this my confession dont hate me for it haha but as you may have guessed I finally gave it a chance after a dear friend of mine sat me down and got me to look at some of the main site and then the A:O needless to say I was in shock and well iam here am I not? really a eye opener! ^^

Numerology has never called to me, I've dabbled - you should see the mad science notebooks I've put together ( my gawd ) you would have thought a mad-woman wrote them. What does 23 mean to you? 3 had some significance to me for a time - it just shows up all the time in my life. So if I had to examine 23, I'd probably break it out like 2+3=5, 5 being the primary number to work with - 5 points on a pent, 5 elements, bla bla - I mean you can correlate these numbers to anything really. There's one thing I've always held strong to, numbers have absolutely no meaning to them - until we apply it.

lulu handles the hosting and PDF transfering. not sure why you're having trouble, but you could email them about it. maybe you got the PDF, but it was saved to some weird area of your computer's hard drive?
anyways, the text is right here on our website... so there isn't even a need to download the PDF:

the hardcover books of Liber A:O just arrived. so if you want one (or more), send cash or money order/cashier's check in the amount of $23 x however many you want to this address:
Darrick Dishaw 3523 Swansee Ridge Sun Prairie WI 53590
if you want it send outside the U.S., then add another $5 for shipping costs. feel free to bundle $ with hardcovers of Cthulhu Cult (add $30), Cthulhu pendants (add $35), and convention fees. all books will be signed by me before sent.

Yeah, i also hate reading such things online. I printed a big nice version of the Liber A:O pdf, but i am also going to order one from lulu. Their print lasts longer, and the drawings are not fully detailed in my version because i was running out of ink (as always). Some of the things i printed 3, 4 years ago is already fading away from the paper. The ink is simply weak. Whats this?Ooh...OOOOOOHHH!!! MY GOD!IA! IA! KTULU FTAGN!

Salut, HP!!
thats french. taking it in school right now and rocking ass! making it my minor! im stoked!
kicking those drugs we had talked about as well... going ok im on a prescription of suboxone which HELLA helps but man my guts are all confuzzled right now... not good. but i remember you said Awakening works best in times of strife and pain... didnt Gurdjieff deliberately put himself in painful situations, someone said? was probably you, in fact.
anyway...
got a email not too long about the new book, been leafing through the PDF file i saved and am getting inspired from some of the things im reading, so thank you for delivering the message, and what is the current price all-in-all? still $23?
thank you, HP!
IA! IA!
-B'Lahk'Neeth... still here!

Hey finished Liber A:O and this is the first I got to a computer. So Apart from one very tiny criticism That's to be honest possibly a me thing. It was well thought out. Loved the way you didn't go down the list of and instruction for Cult ritual route. The further Explanation of the Cult Ethos and teaching was really unexpected. What was also a fantastic idea was how you laid down the the Foundation of a tradition something that would differentiate us from the world.
All Great! My criticism well it's a very loud read! Maybe that sounds Bizarre but Books For me take on a voice. I can't read William Burroughs because his writing has a voice That drawls and burrows into my skull. Liber A:O seemed to bawl at the top of its voice for the first couple of chapters. And books unlike Television don't have a volume. If you don't mind could BookIII be a little quieter Please! ;D

Based on the bits & pieces I've read that Venger has written, I would very much like to read the "proper" books/bibles of the Cult. Will I need to read any Lovecraft stuff first to understand it? The pages attatched to this site are great but interspersed with language, imagery and characters/beings from (I guess) Lovecraft's old books...taking me away from stuff that is really making me think. And where can I find the first Bible (or whatever it is called)?? (So that when I get to the nitty-gritty of A:O I can really soak it up & enjoy it!!)

book I is called Cthulhu Cult. send me your email address and i'll give you a free PDF. or you can buy a signed hardcover from me (i still have lots). yes, it would help to read a handful of H.P. Lovecraft's stories first, but isn't absolutely necessary.
that was a deliberate choice. i wanted something that could cut through the white noise of everyday life. not sure if that stylistic voice will be more or less effective in the years to come, but i suppose time will tell. book III will be undoubtedly quieter because it will mostly contain rituals and other Cult practices.
thanks for your feedback. glad you enjoyed Liber A:O.
