What is a mass ?
A mass is a communion : a moment when you feel united with your religion, your community, your deities, your ideal. A moment of gnosis not dedicated to a specific goal.
For long I wanted an emerald mass for the Cult of Cthulhu. Then I decided to make it myself and began to work on it. It had to be short (not boring as the christian one), to be useful (:to include a ritual), to insist on Awakening, to include words in Viridian, the number 3 for the 3 forces... the colors black and green,... Eventually I concluded that it became what I tried to avoid, boring, and that it had little chance to please to every cultist.
So I made my own emerald mass, for my use and as short as possible. I recommend you to make (and to use) your own, although it is not forbidden to use or to adapt it if you like it. I use it 5 times a week, here it is :
- Moment of preparation. I decide to perform my mass 20 minutes before and prepare myself. Not that long because I can do something, usually I walk to my job or do something else, but I'm thinking to the mass.
- Standing in a place I feel inspiring, or sitting with Kort’thalis on the table in front of me.
- "I am here ! Me ! I am Yrreiht, I am a priest of the Cult of Cthulhu, I am a priest of R'lyeh !
Cthulhu ! I am me, here and now, I feel my body and the world around, I have my highest emotions an my intellect. (be aware !)
Ia Ia Cthulhu fhtagn !" (Great results with this sentence... it became for me or has it always been in itself a kind of magical formula?)
(When not obtained by artificial means, Gnosis is a marvelous moment... a moment of Awakening, when many things are possible... but it is easy to be fooled. I have a mean to verify my gnosis. More on that later on another post)
- I visualize the Void. I imagine and visualize the Darkness in superposition of what I see. Or maybe I do see it.
-"Energy ! I send energy in the Void, making waves !" With a breath, or with a large gesture, I'm sending some energy in the Void.
The End ! But to describe what I feel when the Void is sending me back his energy 3 seconds later, I will quote Master Satanis : "and at long last jubilantly ululate a viridescent exaltation to the most high!"
Ia Ia Cthulhu fhtagn.
