I see that we could use more Wizards of the terrible darkness! This is an important position & ultimately decides how much a Cultist is willing to give to our great & blasphemous paradigm. I am preparing my own 500 word essay & seeking ascension to this level by finding two more converts. Ive already converted one & they love it!
I hope to see some of my fellow Cultists step up to the plate & take on the extra responsibility.
Hail the Cult!

Good ! We have a priesthood again.
Clearly the Cult is doing well and recovered from the decree of heresy. Probably it was true : The Cult ascended to the next octave.
The Cult of Cthulhu shall never die !

The Cult of Cthulhu shall never die ! Did it really experience that much of a schism within the cult? It appears most of the campaigning is occurring outside of it??? Care to elaborate a bit? I haven't been around, so I dunno. Just looks like business as usual around here.

Congrats to all! Forgive me for not being more active here. Now that my book is going to be published in a few days I'll be able to get back into the swing of things here on the site. One of my main goals is now reached and a part of my green reality! Awake!

Not really a schism, but many were leaving the Cult, we had lost the priests, many from outside were mocking us, Venger As Nas Satanis felt "crucified". A Wizard left after being convinced that the CoC will never really recover.
But the Cult is now stronger than before !

Jason Sorrell Writes:
"While the validation and acceptance of Modern Satanism may not be overtly sought (as it has been in the past), it is obviously desired, and would at least be preferable to disdain, or worse, neglect.
If not the Modern Satanists, who else would listen to the madness of those seeking ancient icons and the resurrection of concepts and practices drawn from antiquity? Who else could appreciate the artful blathering inspired by that which the rest of society has chosen to reject? Who else will give audience to ideas leading to the fringe of order and show, if not praise, at least an appreciation from what is being developed? For better or for worse, Modern Satanism continues to be the standard by which these other organizations measure themselves.
Modern Satanism is a part of the foundation of these fringe schools, a check against delusion and self-deceit. Modern Satanism provides to organizations like the Cult of Cthulhu friction with which to test their ideas; while those ideas may not be embraced, they are least given a hearing by those who share a relative interest in what is being said. Modern Satanism is also often the beginning of the filtering process which refines the individual in preparation for an organization like the Cult of Cthulhu, a purging flame which will either burn away much of the debris of mundane society and herd-mentality or char the weak into a blackened-lump of spite and pain. Modern Satanism keeps such organizations honest, deflating delusions and egos when they become ridiculous and reminding that the best kind of wisdom is that which has been undefiled."
Jason, you had me in Sunday Sermon til about there. And I swear, I had the visual of you at the podium in church.
Speaking for myself, and myself alone, Satan is the expression by which the individual is either driven to madness or kept themselves in check. It is likened to the Old Ones of the mythos, and blended into syncretic thought. The way you've expressed these ideas here, I can't help but laugh, really? 'Satanic Subculture', where does this exist really? In cyberspace? The 'parent' nurturing the child? Seeking its validation? Or crying from its neglect? That's a bit melodramatic, don't you think? Or did you get lost in the sermon, did the Messiah creep into you, or was it the prophet?
In what way does "Modern Satanism" deflate the ego? Keep one honest? Or ridicule the ridiculous? Are people not individuals, is that it? They are ruled by a slave machine called "Modern Satanism" which is what? A hyper-organic entity? Or to put it into contrast, using Star Trek as the alegorical scene: The Borg Hive? I'll be sure to check under my pillow for that creepy critter, to remind me of my delusions and self-deceit. *giggles*
I think its more appropriate to say, that Satanism, or one's Satanity is at the foundation of the CoC paradigm. It is exercised in many ways, my many individuals, and ridiculed equally to those who actually give a care or concern about what another thinks about their thinking.
Satanism, Satan, or one's Satanity doesn't mean one thing, the thing, that dogma, those laws, that shite.
The title of your blog, is quite appropriate. For you feel honored, to receive a mention but obviously you are in conflict expressed in your truth.
You go on to say:
" Each seems desirous of the pain and that the other inflicts. Why else continue to clamor for the attention of those you openly disavow, regardless of the side of the line you find yourself on? Each seems to need the validation of the other, acknowledgment means that they each still exist, and that their presence has an impact. Modern Satanism would do well without organizations like the Cult of Cthulhu reminding them why they were drawn to the shadows in the first place. Organizations like the Cult of Cthulhu would prosper if they chose to ignore the slings-and-arrows of Modern Satanism challenging the veracity of their ideas and the conviction of their practitioners. All, though, would be less for such a division from our potential and our roots."
So which is it? Is the CoC a slave to the Modern Satanism Machine and should exercise its Theoretical Lex Talionis, or should it ignore the blows thrown by individuals to other individuals? I mean, that's really what we are talking about here, isn't it? From where I'm sitting I don't see the members of the CoC organization unified in that cause, nor do I see a cohesion of members from the S.I.N. social network either to do the same. Just a handful of people, the drama junkies, junkin' it up.
At any rate. I enjoyed reading what you had to say, and I thank you for sharing it here.
Seems rather pardoxical in nature.

Jason, you had me in Sunday Sermon til about there. And I swear, I had the visual of you at the podium in church. I get that a lot. 'Satanic Subculture', where does this exist really? In cyberspace? More often than not, yes, and it is an unfortunate truth. But, that truth is applicable to far more than just Modern Satanism. The 'parent' nurturing the child? Seeking its validation? Or crying from its neglect? That's a bit melodramatic, don't you think? Not quite what I said, but it is a bit melodramatic. I fancy myself as an artist, so sometimes that happens. I've made my peace with it. Or did you get lost in the sermon, did the Messiah creep into you, or was it the prophet? None of the above. See my previous comment. In what way does "Modern Satanism" deflate the ego? I have had a dressing-down by other Satanists when the occasion has merited it. Your ideas, correct or otherwise, will be challenged. Take this conversation, for example. Keep one honest? Or ridicule the ridiculous? Are people not individuals, is that it? I think that one can, if they have the proper fortitude and awareness, use conflict, no matter how asinine, to better the self. I am not certain where you are going with the "Individuals" remark, but, no, people are Individuals... or at least have the potential to be Individuals. They are ruled by a slave machine called "Modern Satanism" which is what? A hyper-organic entity? Or to put it into contrast, using Star Trek as the alegorical scene: The Borg Hive? I'll be sure to check under my pillow for that creepy critter, to remind me of my delusions and self-deceit. *giggles* o... kay? Was this meant to be a reference to something I said, an impression you got from a statement I made, or just something you are interjecting? The title of your blog, is quite appropriate. For you feel honored, to receive a mention but obviously you are in conflict expressed in your truth. I will have to take your word for it. So which is it? Is the CoC a slave to the Modern Satanism Machine and should exercise its Theoretical Lex Talionis, No. or should it ignore the blows thrown by individuals to other individuals? No. Nothing so dualistic. Why do you assume that the relationship I refer to is one of bondage? Why would the CoC be a slave to anything? I see a third option: symbiosis expressed in conflict... but that is just me. I mean, that's really what we are talking about here, isn't it? From where I'm sitting I don't see the members of the CoC organization unified in that cause, nor do I see a cohesion of members from the S.I.N. social network either to do the same. Just a handful of people, the drama junkies, junkin' it up. I agree. It is a drama pregnant with purpose. Is it worth it? The question seems to already be answered... look at those who are engaged in it. At any rate. I enjoyed reading what you had to say, and I thank you for sharing it here. Seems rather pardoxical in nature. If it is "paradoxical" in nature, then it should be well-received here. -J

Jason,
At the risk of block quoting this thread to death, I'll just respond to the whole of your commentary.
What I meant, was that when you use "Modern Satanism" you make is sound as if you Jason Sorrell, are not challenging my thoughts but "Modern Satanism" as an entity itself. This perplexes me when people do this. Which is expressed by, are people not individuals comment. I hope that clarifies.
Yes, you are an artist and I recognize you as one. Very artful in your language and theatrics as well, which is what caused me to laugh at certain points. As an artist myself I 'get' that. It wasn't a pot shot, but more of a recognition.
As to the slave bit, I wasn't inserting duality, but rather pointing out how you projected your own ideas on to what "Modern Satanism" has parented, and thereby birthed children that should be tugging on the apron strings for either validation, or due to some neglect. I don't find this to be true, but I recognize that others believe this to be true.
As for the drama junkies, on one hand you say that "Modern Satanism" is keeping this or that in check, and on another you say that those individuals who are engaging in the drama should turn the other cheek. Seems to contradict the very things those Modern Satanists hold onto with both hands.
I do agree, that conflict can be used to better serve oneself and I can see this demonstrated by those who are engaging in it, in the view of the public and in private.
Paradox is the name of the game!

We just had an addition to the Ascensions. Take note, anyone who receives a degree above Wizard of the Terrible Darkness in 2011 will be placed on that page.
www.cultofcthulhu.net/2011/04/honors-and-ascensions-for-2011/
Nakhometh Law-hater has been around the CoC for some time now, but using a different name. I'll let him clear that up, if he wants. On the CoC social network is username is Dude Tyson.

I've been an affiliate of the Cult for a while, so I have a few questions regarding Ascension with the CoC.
Firstly, I have a personal paradigm revolving around Tsathoggua, Dagon Shub-Niggurath and Yog-Sothoth, which though similar to that of the Cult, shows some marked differences. If I continue to practice it, recieving ideas from the Cult, and disseminating my own, is this acceptable? My concern is that my focus on working with the symbolism of these mythos entities is somewhat discordant with the raw intellectual feel of the Cult as it stands.
Secondly, I understand I need to enter the first inner degree to begin the Ascension proper, what are the requirements for the Herald of the Old Gods? Do I need to make a payment to the Cult? It may be that I am missing something obvious, or that has been explained already, but I'd like a clear explanation of the criteria for membership and the process involved if that is possible.

No, you're fine. That is acceptable.That is the usual way of things. Although, exceptions can be made.
No payment needed. Just a three question application. Read this: www.cultofcthulhu.net/i-am-the-way-2/
