To anyone reading this first let me say sorry for sounding like a newb or noob. I don't like to piss people off but yet some of my questions are dumb to some people. So if you find yourself in a good mood maybe you can help me. You see in the texts that i keep reading like prayers and rituals etc. It would seem people keep using this hard to pronounce language that hp lovecraft made. In which case how do i translate this? Were can i find the a guide for this i wanna talk in there tongue but have no sight on were to learn it. Any help will be appreciated thanks for your time and again sorry if this question bothers you. I mean no offense to anyone this cult is really cool and by far the most fun and enlightening i feel proud every time i come here. By the way is it good to praise the old ones?
Noobs are always welcome, as long as, they are respectful. Don't worry about asking dumb questions. No one will bite your head off, hoss.
Lovecraft didn't create an entirely new language and then use pieces of it in his stories. Nor did he engineer a cosmology ahead of time. The way Lovecraft worked is he did whatever was necessary for the piece he was writing at the time. If the lore of story Z happened to contradict stories X and Y, then so be it.
Lovecraft assumed his weird tales wouldn't outlive the pulp magazines he wrote for. So, there's no official pronunciation. The translated words from "The Call of Cthulhu" are what we get. Just a taste of Mythos... which is probably how it should be.
On the other tentacle, I have developed a language for Cultists to use. It's called Viridian, and can be found at the end of Liber A:O on the main website. If you want help pronouncing some of those words, then just let me know.
Yes, it is good to praise the Old Ones, up to the point where an individual stops taking responsibility for their life. Then, worship has gone too far.
Awake!
