You know, I'm curious now... where did you learn how to sigilize? Is it the same system Donold Tyson uses in his Grimoire of the Necronomicon? I'd love to make a private sigil out of my given name and possibly make it into an amulet of sorts... maybe even a tattoo. Please and thank you. Ia! Ia! .::Jordan

I was given my first degree(?) CoC cultist name the other day. VS named me Roj. The first three letter of my name, backwards. I really like it. It rolls of my tongue so nicely. ;D I contemplated it for about 45 minutes while allowing myself a cigarette. I don't smoke a lot, and I know its bad for your health, but hey, one or two a month won't kill me. I plan to celebrate my magickal name and the newest facet in my life (Cult of Cthulhu of course!) with a ritual. I'm thinking Saturday the 13th... The 13th day of the month has always been good to me. Oh, and I know I've been changing my name around a bit on here... I just wasn't sure what name I wanted to use. So I adopted my corn snake's name, Tanas. How about Roj'Tanis?

Ia! .::Jordan Well, an easy way is to get rid of all extra letters in a word or name, ..Esbara'kesh would become Esbrkh.. You find some other way to rearange it or make a pictogram from the letters.. OR use Tyson's symbols or Runes (my personal favorite) to make a bindrune, a symbol made from ALL of the letters transformed into their Runic equivilent. MadGuten/Lut'vul'hashtan has made an EXCELENT modernized version of Runes. I suggest EVERYONE learn Runes. I will make my sigil and scan it for you when I get a chance.. I will send it to your NING box.

I have a great book by Edred Thorrson called "Futhark: A handbook of rune magic". It teaches you all the runes and teaches you also how to make bind runes and the like. Well worth a read. Also, his book Northern Magic deals a lot with runes. Well worth a read. I'll have to see what Tyson's way of doing it is. I should be ordering Grimoire of the Necronomicon sometime in the next month or two. Whenever I get the money.
Oh, and everyone should try Leary Biscuits. Just Google it if you don't know what I mean.

Ashnook, Agazi Ganbar, Kus sisig baraggul(she's hot!), Mudu lu atzu, Azu mud Tuku, Sagdab Kispu Lib are some of the magickal names of members of our "spiritual rival" group, Order of the Necronomicon. The seem to be sumarian-based. And they ALL have their own Bandar Sword. What would be a good symbolic weapon of CoC? A wicked, primative dagger?

Why should we mimic another organization, albeit a rival one, by uniforming our members with a single weapon. We should either merge entirely with them, or strike them from the records, since were trying to compete an alliance would be hard. The sharing of common ground is good cause for friendliness, but even better cause to fight for dominance... the strongest are strongest alone.

my thinking is that an alien blade would make an awesome personal weapon, but a symbolic Cult weapon needs to be easily available because most Cultists need to have access to it. i like the short sword because one can be sneaky and cunning with it, yet it's long enough to do serious damage while getting a little distance from the enemy. also wouldn't leave you as disadvantaged in a sword fight as having just a dagger would.
in the end, i just find something noble about the short sword... but i'm still open to suggestions.

ok, followed your link and i think i've just fallen in love with the Kukhri. tell me what you guys think; here's a picture from the website...i've noted that certain Mythos-based groups unify themselves around a particular weapon. for one thing, when a ritual murder is performed with said cult weapon, it lets everyone know that such and such group had done the killing.
even if only black magic is used to end a life, i think the idea of a symbolic Cult weapon wielded in the ritual chamber is a cool idea. of course, such an implement wouldn't be mandatory, just preferred.

far enough, that kikhri, or the kriss are the coolest. As for usability, the kikhri would be most practical. However the kriss kinda looks like a tentacle

again, those blades are stunning. have you used them during death rituals yet?

I forgot about my jambia, which is a short dagger worn by men in Yemen. Made somewhat known by anyone who played "Assassin's Creed", which I admit is why I bought it. Got it from a Jordanian on Ebay. No wonder why they are afraid westerners are taking over.. the newspapers that rapped it all have ads with Blue-Eyed white guys in them! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JambiyaI guess it would be of the asadi (greenish/yellow handle) variety. MY choice in a ritual dagger.. goes with my name Esbara'Kesh!

I love the Blades you got, Lut'vul'hashtan! VS, You know.. the story behind Kukhri is that it is bad luck to draw the blade and NOT spill blood with it.. in it's "homeland" people will cut themselves if they take it out without "feeding" it blood. I chose mine because it is also of a symbolic ritual-type value.. hell, Kris, Kukhri, and Jambiya's are MADE for rituals/bloodshed! In my opinion, I say any dagger made for bloodshed and/or rituals should go. I do think be should stay away from the Athame type blades, unless it is of course of a "non-standard" variety.

So EshbAHRAAH Ke-aysh MAY BE the correct pronounciation.. Esbara happens to be a name of a city in Sudan.. I dont know what it means, as all of the names have meaning in those countries, but I hope it is something cool!

Yeah, i had meant to tell more but i got a guest just as i had uploaded the picture, Hmmm... They are great for chopping. Also One can become very skilled at throwing them with great effeciently for hunting for instance. But that could be said about most blades. I like the chopping part, one can see that (as mentioned earlier by others) it was developed to also serve as a tool. I havent used them for death rituals. No one has earned such a curse. I do not take destruction rituals lightly. I, along with a friend preformed a voodoo curse on a teacher when we were 11 or something, i dont think my friend took it all that serious, i probably did though, if i know myself right. In any case it seemed to work. I aimed towards inflicting the subject pain and he was gone for weeks with a bad back. I DO have a knife that i have used for ritual, Ye old "curbie blade" from India. ;D I have no idea what they are really called. There are pics of it in ritual here cocthulhu.proboards105.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=143&page=1It was bought along with the two other at a big permanent fleemarket/secondhand building in Copenhagen. Same place i bought this freaky ol thing. I have gotten most of my blades through my brother, for self defense i would always prefer a stick or a hammer. I dont particularly like what blades do to matter. Splitting it in such precise a fashion. Ahh yes, i have heard of such sacred blades. I dont consider the ones i have to be such but i can see the logic behind the thought. Btw, thats a very nice ritual blade you got there. Wonderful. Have you guys seen the "Ritual Blades video" Adrianna from the OFS Demonolatry site made. She shows off quite a nice arsenal of blades and explains what she uses them for (if i remember right) Ritual Blades (by Adrianna)

I used to rep Cold Steel Knives, I represented quite a few knife/sword manufacturers. Cold Steel is hands-down the best of the best out there. I watched demo after to demo, they can stick one of their blades through the roof of a car, and it never loses its sharpness. They are amazing. I've owned several (and still do) they never lose their sharpness and their creation is superb! They have a video called 'The Proof', and a section on their website for swords, and other fixed blades. One of the owners went on a safari, he told me he beheaded a kangaroo with a Kukri with one slice. I can tell you first hand, their blades are superior. I got a kitchen set as a gift for xmas one year, I cut an entire chicken in half with one slice, to include my index finger to the bone. They told me to be careful, and they weren't shittin'! I still have the scar. I've always been partial to anything with a Tanto point, those do some vicious damage! I have a couple of fixed Tanto and folding Tanto-point knives, to include the mini I carry on my keychain. I could decapitate someone with my 3" folder. :-) I was just joking with a girlfriend of mine about the mace she carries on her keychain. I told her, I'll just stick a fucker! lol www.coldsteel.comAs for a COC battle weapon, I'd say that the Karamoit is the way to go. (To the far left)

i have no doubt that cold steel are the best engineered blades around, especially since their price must reflect their quality... $650 for their kukri. yikes! but then i see a black bladed kukri machete for $30 on the same website?!?
here are two medium priced ($40 - $80) blades i found at www.gurkhas-kukris.com/that jambia is neat looking.

It's probably the Teflon, it's like a super hard plastic. I have a dagger made from it, it's designed to be stuck in the dirt, so it doesn't rust. So, if I were ever attacked getting into my house, I have a weapon right there - and trust me, you can do some damage with it. Yeah, their prices are a little steep. If you knew what went into to making them - they take that shit serious!

I live in the old world and so if i did not use an alias i would probably have been burned at the steak a long time ago. That is really how things work here. I mean they would probably not bother to put together a fire but in any case it would be highly problematic. We are a small and strange country. Under six million people here nationwide. Also, magical names can have other functions. When i call myself Madguten for instance, it is something i do to strengthen the bond between my flesh and that mysterious existence/world from my dreams that i love so much and have loved since i was born, maybe even before. The word comes from my interpretation of that world and while i realize the possibility that i alone may be the source of this "mystery" i am feeling, i still find it pure, reminding and inspiring. It is still a bond and it keeps something down while letting something else blossom. Iit is a bond i would not be without. Even if that "mystery feeling" is just my brain fooling me it does not matter since i am the product of the intelligence of the universe of multiverses. To me, it feels ULTRATERRESTRIAL. It feels beyond, but still within. It is perhaps strengthened my speculation that maybe we are only the peaks of a greater body. Maybe we borrow our soul from a timeless source who retracts it again when our flesh dies. Like a puppetmaster of all soul. Perhaps an unproductive thought. Just speculating, i am not easily moved. But then again, they say that faith moves mountains ;D But from a rational viewpoint i can certainly agree with what you mean. When i first started to read up on Witchcraft, finding a magickal name was one of the steps in self-initiation. Its suppose to be as important as wearing certain ceremonial robes and clearing out a space to make a alter. I believe it is a "switch" to turn on the sub-conscious mind from the mundane world into the ritual space that the Mage has created for himself. Its the reason why cops,doctors,fireman,etc.. wear uniforms, it helps create for the common individual a sense of who the authority figure is.

At first go I'd say perhaps it was either an entity that took that name, or used it as a call. Or it might just be at the time, and the ditching of the name was just sufficient enough to banish it. Or something else was in play.
How did you use the name, and how did you react to the possession other then leave the name behind.
The coc names work how you want them to really. I sue mine as an alter ego, like some kind of beast within myself. Over the past 14-15months or so I'm not sure, that i have used it i have become quite attune to how to use and activate this ermmm... persona.
