So, I had the idea of 'evoking' the energies of the person into the circle with the meta sigil, and willing a tentacled monstrosity from the meta-sigil to devour their energies.
Advice? Opinions?

Theoretically, I don't see why this shouldn't work.
It's very similar in concept to how a voodoo doll works, minus the props.
The hardest part, I would imagine, depending on your level of skill ( I have no way of knowing how advanced you are) would be overcoming the lack of props.
Psychodrama is a crutch of sorts, and props play a key role in that.
If you are able to trick your mind enough into establishing enough conviction that it will work, it most likely will.

This sounds to me like a human sacrifice, much in the LaVeyan sense of the term. This is quite do-able for the capable cultist.

That sounds like a colossal waste of time and focus, trans. Hatred consumes energy.

Hate stems from insecurity and weakness. It has its uses, but it shouldn't be the focus of any paradigm. It's counterproductive. Hate-filled people are never happy and they never really get anywhere. You speak of making room for something new, but what can grow out of hatred when all that you hate has been destroyed? You need love to appreciate the uses of hate, and it's also true vice versa. Maintain the balance of your emotions and keep them under control - don't let them control you. Opposition is good, it's what we thrive on. We put the best of ourselves forward when we're faced with opposition, and it also helps us to remember ourselves and Awaken. Should we not then love our enemies? Without an enemy, hate is pointless. Grow up, and... Awake!
Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

Oh know!? Don't say such things, lol. Maybe because I ain't human could be the reason for it, ha ha. I'm not being devoured by it, it is what already am for along time now. You properly was laughing when you wrote such silliness about such a person like myself. I will keep on smiling at humans from my dank hole until the time is right to do otherwise. Why don't you try to take some necessary time out to figure what the fuck I am, and then either show proper respect or keep your silence. I will give you one real clue to my nature, what you are trying to achieve. I have already completed in and within myself. If, you don't like what you see about me, maybe you should spend your time doing something else. Your claiming to not be human is what the kids are calling auto-fail, these days. This is not a roleplaying game site, transhumanism. Sorry if that disappoints you.
I've been extremely patient thus far, but your disrespect towards me and this forum forces me to give you a warning. Now, you are officially on thin ice. Watch what you say and how you say it or get banned.
Awake!

I have an idea which is similar to this but for a different reason. would it be possible to evoke a negative aspect of the mind or ego and then attack it in an attempt to destroy personal bullshit in the deep mind? I know of some shamanic techniques which use these means for fighting illness, but I have little knowledge of this used against the ego can anyone comment this?

I understand hatred is a waste of energy, but I am slightly confused as I recall reading something about human sacrifice in the Cult of Cthulhu book, coming to fruition in a time where such things are permitted. Sacrificing those that refuse to awake(Honestly correct me if I am mistaken, as I do not have the book before me at the moment). I also recall reading another bit about ending the life of one who crosses the Cultist thrice and saying a prayer so that they may awake in their next life. Now I completely understand if such things have evolved since then, such is the way, but food for thought... personally I feel these are all applicable in an Astral sense without hate being a driving emotion, as I assumed it was not in the aforementioned text. Sometimes there are people in your life that make it their goal to poison your life, where no amount of peace or diplomacy will work. Yes there is much to learn but there comes a time where you have also learned all you can from this person, and honestly must take action to remove a poisonous thorn as it will only fester. Personally I feel this can be done through symbolic sacrifice, feeding them to the Old One the same way you would kill someone who refuses to awake. Let the Entity tear their reality away, let them have the opportunity to be reborn and awake!
Again, just my thoughts. I in no way mean any disrespect;
We must be the Darkness we wish to see in the world.

I in no way mean any disrespect; We must be the Darkness we wish to see in the world. A good question. On some level, I wrote that into Cthulhu Cult as a reaction to the Christian Bible's old testament. It was meant to hold a mirror up to the dominant white-light rhp religions of our day. On a different level, it shows how drastic the future can change and that given enough conscious will, society's comforting lullaby could turn into a nightmarish cacophony. If there's a thorn in a Cultist's side, then it should be removed. Dispassionately if possible. If such removal is not possible, there is a corollary to the law of negative emotions. Within the ritual chamber, one is free to generate as much visceral hatred and palpable annihilation as one desires. Magic is outside the normal confines of "reality", and the place where a Cultist conducts a ritual is sacrosanct. He is able to do things within that sacred space which might ordinarily weaken or even destroy him. VS

That makes more sense to me. Thank you for the insight. I had been curious about that for some time. I personally look forward to silencing the lullaby, and bringing forth a new Kingdom. As for emotion in ritual, it had completely slipped my mind. Useful tool for summoning energy and Will; Something I need to practice with as I feel I have some blockage.

Try thinking of magic in the ritual chamber as performance art. The energy summoned and expended on stage is not the same as if it were done on the street. One is free to get carried away. VS
