Anyone planning on Staying a Solitary, or feel the need not to interact with a Grotto or Coven or whatever?

Not me, I want to join up with others to learn some tricks and add to my collection of spells and perform rituals.

Anyone planning on Staying a Solitary, or feel the need not to interact with a Grotto or Coven or whatever? I do.I never been in a ritual with a group and don't think I'd adapt to group work well.Solitary is optimal for a guy like me.That and the fact I don't trust anyone knowing how i look.Chances are they'd be better than me magic wise and use it to mess with me so being alone is safer.

I would love to recreate the swamp seen in Call of Cthulhu. You know what I mean!
The gods are hungry! Solitary ritual is fine, but large group rites, compleat with noise and exteme behavoir get their attention...

I will have to be solitary untill either a group forms here in michigan, or untill I know enough like minded people to start one.

I will be more or less solitary no matter what crowd i am in.
I do not mix, its like water and oil.
Not that i dont appreciate the idea of joined rituals, but my way is extremely solitary.
It will always be alone i do my deeds.
Always.
But im all for rituals, except i am as paranoid as jmsn72, so i will NEVER really trust anyone, only by principle, never by being. It is not in my power to trust which i take as an equal bliss/curse as the world i live in on a daily basis is sorta nasty.

My magick is more primative and basic that some here.. less cerimonial and more primal, mood-fueled rituals, kinda shamanic as apposed to the more golden dawn-like methods that some may use here. I guess one fear I would have in a group would be ridacule.. some might say I'm doing my rituals wrong, when my rituals come from the heart, more on intuition.. I find myself winging it alot.. BUT IT WORKS. That is how I went from a paygrade 2 at work to a paygrade 4.. sorcery, and old fashion hard work, but im makin a couple extra bucks now, and the job is easier than anything I have ever done in my life. I may not be rich working for Walmart, but I get all my health benifits, and I make enough to save after the bills.. THAT is what counts when blending inside this illusion. And I have extra time for rituals now! But I guess I would have to group with someone that uses primative rituals like I use, or a group of people that I tought.

I don't mean to sound disrespectful to those you cling to the labels of pagan, satanist, magician etc..... but the majority of those people I've met offline that are into those things have be total poser-pricks. In Australia, the word "Wanker" sums it up. The Cult of Cthulu seems to have less of this My Spiritual path has always been grounded in reality and operating in the real world. I would never hang with a 24 yr old man that wears black eyeliner, red lipstick and dances through the city in a top hat and black cape... so why would I start now. ROFL. (All power to the dancing fools out there).

I don't have the leadership skills, or the mindeset for group work so I guess it's solitary for me. Which has its drawbacks, and benefits.

pros and cons on both sides... do what you get the most out of... I generally am a Solitaire but I like Group Workings... Group Workings help remind me that I'm not alone and off my rocker... I'm just off my rocker...

While I would personally enjoy contact with others who believe as I; let alone, doing ritual work together...There is no crime in following the ancients' paths alone...
I consider myself a solitary pagan; despite knowing and working with other like-minded individuals. And, that would not change if I began working with followers of the Old Ones.
Because, in the end...Are we not always alone? *Save the presence of the Old Ones*

I doubt I would even be able to pull enough people here in Alabama to form a Grotto for this Cult. I am used to practicing magick alone, and have always considered myself the "solitary", even at one point refusing to join any organization, though I do attribute that to my past experiences with so-called "Satanic organizations" online. However, as you can see that has changed and I am willing to work with others within the Cult.
Awake!

The Cult itself is a living breathing entity. It has existed in one form or another since before time. You may say I'm just quoting Lovecraft, but do some historical research & you'll find it. There is a sunken city off the coast of Japan that no one knows how it got there. Some geologists have tried to dismiss it as naturally occurring formations, but there are obvious carved structures. mysticalshinobi.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/shinto-religion-predates-ancient-babylon/This is from the blog of my friend & fellow gatewalker, Warlock Asylum. In his book, the Atlantean Necronomicon, he draws some interesting parallels to Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu & a tradition that has lasted since before recorded time. Anyway, I digress slightly. My point is whether we are isolated geographically or socially or we are in a large group, we are all the Cult of Cthulhu. Whenever one of us enacts in the name of His Emerald Majesty, we are all joined in that working. Grottoes are useful to keep one another focused on the work in a way that the internet cannot provide. It is one thing to be encouraged by words written by someone who could be on the other side of the world from you, but it is truly a much more dynamic experience to be able to interact with them face to face. I do agree with many of you on the idea of group ritual. I, for one, do most of my work either by myself or with my wife. Most of my work is too personal to involve others in. I do feel group workings strengthen ties between cultists & should be engaged in if for nothing else, this reason. If you must or choose to remain solitary, know that you have the support of your brethren from all parts of this world & beyond; & if you are fortunate enough to have fellowship with your fellow cultists, know that you are innovating a tradition that has lasted beyond human memory & will continue on when this world is once more primeval dust. Remember yourself! The Emerald Kingdom is at hand!

i don't really want to do a group or coven spell bc it's none of anyone's business what I want to accomplish, I am a really private person. However, I would do a ritual to call forth a spirit with others. Excuse me if I do not sound as knowledgeable as all of you, I just know the basics, I don't have libraries of knowledge behind me. I still get the point, though.

All is from the heart, I just express it differently. Solitary until a group or coven not based on sexing up trees is formed here.

They are all into the peace, love, and environment thing while I am not. Some take their love for nature a bit too fair, that's where the tree sexin' comes into play. Awake!

Don't get me wrong - Hard core environmentalist here! And, by hard core; I mean I support tree spiking and crashing into whaling ships. Let's be real; do we really wanna screw up the environment; and deal with the outcome when the Old Ones take over again??? Thought not! Jeez...Whatever became of the Dark Pagans, I ask you???

I see your perspective a bit more now. I never liked to divide pagans as light and dark i saw it as burzum (the space between a mix). Sorry just had to use thqt word. I am definately a hardcore enviornmentalist. I have respect for everything from trees to cellphones.( I was a technical technopagan.) I just see everything stemming from chaos which is what created us all. Thats why i do not see duality.

Nothing you say will stop me. Deer Jerky Deer Steaks Dear Meat Stew etc. Mmmmm. Nothing I like more than a cooked dead animal covered with plants. Destroying the environment is bad, but killing a snake with a rock and then eating it is AMAZING! Solitary here until things change around here. I guess I need to start changing things myself.

If you like the whole environmental thing, fine. I hardly protested at all. If I look like a fool for eating meat, than I'd rather be a fool than the passerby. Neg Karma. My E-Penis is shrinking. Hail Satanis!

Now, now...No fighting, children; or, I'm turning this car around. I don't think he was protesting, Raven. Just joshing. A little humour that got lost in translation. Seriously; just because he likes to eat meat; or to hunt; is no reason to be angry or upset with him. Many fine people enjoy a good steak...I for one; still do. Even though vegetarianism is my future. And, as for hunting; man is a hunting creature. Ipshae just follows his instinctive past. *However, just so long as you hunt for food; and not for sports. Let's be real.* And, appreciate any support for environmental causes; we're trying to protect the future for ourselves and the Old Ones... Now, children...Everything okay now? Good. Let's get back on topic, please.

Getting in touch with the 'root' chakra. At least these people are not fucking sheep like the folks in New Zealand.
