Ave! I am new to this site and Cult. I have been referred to this site by another Member that I have On FB. I am from South Africa. I was a devoted ONA (classic type) follower for roughly the past 6years.... I was raised as a protestant christian, by age 16, I was curious in regards to the occult ( inspiration by a movie called the craft, those who have seen it) I secretly started to do research from the local library and didnt got much info ( the time before the internet and mobile phones with proper browsers). I got hold of some pagan material and started practisng it. Later I changed to worshipping Satan ( reverse christianity ). In 2004 I went to the UK and met some ppl who introduced me to Laveyan satanism and the demonic bible. I started to practise that and followed more of what Magus Tsirk Susej had taught. I gt hold of alot of works by crowley, konstantinos, goetia, necronomicon, agrippa, ect. It became my goal to collect as much info and to practsie and learn as much as I could. I then at that point, followed theistic Satanism by Diane Vera. In 2006 I returned to South Africa, and got hold of the Black book of Satan and the Naos. I copied it in my own hand, and started to follow the path, instead of using the septenary system, I Used the demonic bible for internal magicks. I also practised some of Michael ford's material, mostly the Luciferian goetia. I have also scribed alot of my own work, as I feel I am guided by Dark muses... Yesterday I got hold of an old document, released last year already, explaining that the ONA is no longer the ONA I had believed it to be. Chloe 352 changing the order ect. I was very dissapointed, and decided to start my own order, as I have always been a leader and a pioneer... I posted in a FB group how I felt, and Thats when a contact asked me to view this site and join up. So here I am. My Occultic name is Ciege.

Welcome to the Cult of Cthulhu, Brother Ciege! I am Ben McInnis on Facebook, but my cult name in the CoC is Verins'Sharaz. If you need anything or have any questions, feel free to ask either myself, Priestess of R'yleh Cora'Sahn, Ipsissimus Satanis, or anyone else for that matter. We are generally very helpful to the sincere seeker, and I know you are sincere in your seeking.
Take a moment to read through the Forum Guidelines and Rules in the Introductions section as they outline some of the practices particular to this message board. They are not there to stifle you, but rather to inspire all of us to progress in the Work.
Good to see you here, Brother!
By His Loathsome Tentacles!

Thank You Brother Verins'Sharaz. I have read the post : Announcement: Forum Guidelines & Rules 11/1/2010
I have no problem with any of the rules, and the oath. It will take me some time to adjust to the differences to what I have been Used to for several years now. I am used to use Latin words in most my works, and now I have to adjust to what seems to like sumerian words ? Also I am unsure of what timezone the site uses, my timezone is gmt +2hours, with no daylight savings time. Sundays, what exactly do I have to post? Can It be anything helpfull in regards to the occult ? I am Satanist, and don,t know alot of the rituals and practices that the CoC follows and practise. I have the Necronomicon (Aleister Crowley 100th anneversary edition), and also the book named cult of cthulu. I knw who Yog-Sothog is and Atazoth and Azathoth, and the Other Dark Gods From the ONA. I don't wana make a fool out of myself, thus I ask for guidance and aid please. All I know alot about, Is Satanism and eclectic occult aswell as most esoteric techniques. I have been branded in my heart and soul as a ONA follower and practitioner, and a devoted Satanic Magus. I wish to continue to be that, as I have made a blood oath towards Satan Lucifer. My blood is His blood, My soul is His soul, my flesh is His flesh, I am a Devil Incarnate. I am a Adversary, and see myself as a Adverserial Seeker.

Magus Ciege,
The main things you need to remember is to end your posts with one of the phrases from the list in the Rules and Guidelines thread (for instance, "When the Stars are Right!, Awake!, By His Loathsome Tentacles, etc.) This practice serves to remind our subconscious minds what we are in the CoC for and to help keep us focused on the Work. In addition to these phrases, words or phrases in Viridian, the language listed in the thread that looks like Sumerian, are acceptable; Viridian is the Cult's language that is unique to the CoC. While some of the phrases are similar to those from other languages, Viridian is uniquely ours and the effects of vibrating these words in ritual is amazing!
As far as Sundays go, only posts relating to the Work of the Cult of Cthulhu as stated in this portion of the thread:
"Sundays should be for posting about The Great Work: how we struggle to Awaken within a Left Hand Path context using the Cthulhu Mythos as our prime paradigm. Any post not having directly do to with The Great Work in some way shall be cast into reality where there is nothing but cheesecake... raspberry cheesecake. Everyone is to calibrate themselves to North American central standard time for this ongoing Slimy Green Sabbath exercise"
Central Standard time is GMT-6 hours.

Thanks for posting your introduction, Ciege. We are looking for leaders and pioneers, so I think you're in the right place.
The Sunday thing, ending posts with a certain phrase, etc. is more of a guideline or recommendation. Basically, the only hard and fast rule is don't shit on each other. Beyond that, it's just slimy window dressing.
In regards to Satan, some Cultists choose to view the Devil as a symbol, a brother and fellow traveler of the Great Old Ones, or even as Dread Cthulhu himself. How you define things is totally up to you. I'm sure you'll bring a fresh perspective to our religion. That's what's needed to make our paradigm richer.
Awake!

Yes, try the Baptism of Jade Ichor. That will get you started. Feel free to incorporate this ritual into your other magical practices.

Magus Ciege,
Belated greetings and welcome to the COC.
I remember The Craft well as me and my friends like a lot of people who watched it decided to "re-enact the like as a feather, still as a board scene".
That movie is a very special magickal film.
I also remember the good old days before the Internet and computers at the library where you had to look up the books via the the index/file system and they should implement that system back into schools and libraries as it is more beneficial to the persons growth in the long run.
What paganism did you follow and practice?
Michael W Ford, always been very interested in his teachings and books on my to do list.
