Perhaps I missed it or have not studied enough Lovecraft lore, but what is the magickal sigilic meaning behind slime or ooze? I hear it used a great deal on the forums, and also read the Baptism ritual using green slime. Obviously in rituals, wine may represent blood or water representing life/emotion, what does green or black or red slime mean?
Nevertheless, I find the concept very cool and unique. Perhaps I am not wrong by considering it part of the primordial ooze?

For many of us, the symbolism of slime is as multi-faceted as the symbolism of Dread Cthulhu himself.
It is primordial, sexual, blood-like, alien, fluid, and sometimes considered disgusting or just plain gross. The opposite of water's clean baptismal energy... slime is dirty and impure. But that's in the eye of the beholder, of course. Variations in color is an aesthetic appeal. One could just as easily incorporate orange slime into their ritual.
Anyone have a personal association with slime they'd like to share? I've got two words: cream pie.

I'll take what High Priest Satanis has proposed for 1200 Alex... and I'll raise it a few thousand.
See the thing about slime, ichor, and ooze is the quality it possesses in reaching the deepest darkest most unrealized spots. Also it is nebulous and holds no definite shape. Once it has affected an area it is often difficult to wiped away. Even if you are successful at completely clearing it, there still remains a residue and the potential it will at any point breed feverishly again. It has an association with infection also. Since I view it as a macrocosmic representation of microcosmic consciousness and true awakening, You can clearly see why all of those associations are in place with it.

This makes good sense and strong points. I find it similar to other antinomian terms such as "Evil Mind" or "Evil Actions"; it is to be opposing and separate. I can see how "being baptized in slime" is in a way being 'washed in sin', an initiation into the antinomian. Also, that of 'infection' or 'spread feverishly, this is also similar to other antinomian terms, such as decay, maggots, and flies being sigil for change/transformation. I will most certainly use this slime/ooze in pathworking/mental magick. This movie came to mind. It's a mindfuck of a horror movie and sadly they don't make them like this anymore. I'm sure you have seen it. The movie Necronomicon. In the end she is in the 'belly' of a beast, which the walls are organic. She then drifts into a hallucination caused by the toxin/ooze/slime as she is being devoured. I thought this was quite a fucked up yet powerful symbolism. It just popped into my head.

Ooze can seep into dark hidden orifices and cavities, penetrating deeply into the unseen and unknown, moving rapidly in majestic, churning, thickly torrential currents like lava or more slowly and stationary like globulating blobs of putrescent stagnation, amalgamating the subterranean cavernous crypts with an alienlike, primordial sophistication.

Well I never thought of slime like that, and I'd like to make my own blue-green slime or a lime green.

Master Satanis, In response to you asking if anyone else had different views on slime I would like to reply to that. I view slime as a physical representation of negative energy that has clung to the individual but is now seeping out as the individual ascends into a cleansed "godhood". HOWEVER, cream pies are incredible, and if you'd like I have a few hours of live action japanese tentacle porn movies I can link you too Ia Ia Cthulhu Fhtagn!
