It’s set in the modern day around the Millenium celebrations, with suitably theatrical songs and creepy sound effects.It’s called Mythos: The Talisdream Mission
That sounds right up my alley, thanks! I’ll check it out.
Quote:Wow! Thank you. I didn’t realise that! It’s been a while since I read The Colour From Outer Space. I’ve been working through Andy’s Cygnus Mystery for a few months. I just never seem to get the time to sit down right this minute. I’m going to have to revisit that me thinks.Another tidbit re: Cygnus, I had an amazing synchronicity recently: I joined an elist exploring Vril and I mentioned Cygnus, it turned out one of the members had been working with Cygnus on a subtle level for years by way of a 1920′s german occultist “Peryt Shou”. Shou developed some exercises for turining oneself in an “antena” (this was before radio astronomy by the way) aligned with Cygnus to receive comunications from what he called “The Leauge of Truth”. It’s in a book by Shou and in a chapter of Edred Thorsson’s _ Rune Might_ called “The Ritual of the Ninth Night”.
Quote:Questing and Cthulhu I’m sure could go absolutely hand in hand, but I’m not sure I’d really want to go too far down that road.
I remember Richard W. going through a few of the UK sites said to be connected with the mythos reality. He clearly warned of the consequences, that it could quite literally make you go mad as the mythos is such a dark abyss, full of some pretty grotesque stuff.IMO entities that Lovecraft wrote about inspire more awe than fear in me, or at least after a while fear turns into awe. I don’t think its necesarily “dark”. There are deffinately paralells between the Mythos and other traditions, The Greater Necronomicon (the one on the astral or whatever) is like the Terma tradition in Tibet, the GOO’s are like Nagas, gatekeepers of the information. I find I draw sustenance from it, I also find it healthy in that I’m actively seeking closeness to primal roots or whatever they are, helps me to be more complete if you know what I mean. I also find it fun in that slightly cheasy cosmic b-garde horror kind of way.
Quote:I too have had a few Lovecraftian dreams, usually of underwater cities and kraken type beasties chasing me across plains! Plays like a bad B-movie
Awesome, did you see they recently caught a “Collosal Squid”, poor beastie. I live in underwater cities in my dreams too (I am half Deep One myself) and have worked as an industrial diver in offshore diamond mining in some of the foulest, blackest, coldest water – arrgh! Seriously, I’m kind of obsessed.
Quote:I’d love to hear more of your thoughts, if you care to share. I’m really only a novice in such matters.Heck, I’m a novice too.
HernesSon wrote:Ah! Sorry Richard.
Lots of Richards and Andy’s in the questing community. Should I change my name?
Bring it on! The more the merrier I say.
Quote:D’Oh! Yes, quite right. I should really have thought to do that sooner, I was just taking the lazy route.
You don’t get anything by sitting around willing it into existence … hang on, I’m not so sure there!Hehe, well I’d do it myself, but I guess I’m lazy too!
What do you think of the Cthulhu Mythos in relation to psychic questing? I’ve been fascinated with it for quite a while, my own explorations therein have led to some epic dreams (as they tend to do, of course), I found I was dreaming about some H.P.L stories I hadn’t read yet. Also, recently re-read “The Colour from Out of Space” and discovered to my delight that in the story the “Colour” returned to Cygnus… I wonder if Ech Pi El was picking up those Cygnus vibes?
Ahh sorry, didn’t think about the name, I be Richard Green.
Perhaps an email to McCoy or The Watchman or whatever asking for the article? Maybe you could try Richard Ward himself at his site? If you succeed then let me know, it’s a favourite subject of mine and would love to see the article again and/or notes.

Hi Dan
I remember the article on the FOTN site, had to have a login for it and I think that section of the site is bust now (will check). Couldn’t save the article as McCoy’s web wizardy made the text unselectable.

Hi Yuri
This a frightening subject. In South Africa there are “Muti Murders” and there is a trade in body parts. Body parts of infants are taken while they are alive, according to “them” the younger they are and the more violent it is the more potent the muti will be.
Some pics of the Abbey of Thelema here:

Simon, the merlot is luverly! I steeped some lemon balm in the white to make Wine of Melissa, it was delicious. Hehe drinking a bottle or two in the caves would certainly be getting into the spirit of things.

I never remember the labels, but you can always trust them.Adamastor, why don’t you say a few things about yourself and what you’re interested in and/or what you’re up to in the ‘Let me introduce myself’ section of the forums.
Always good to know our wines are appreciated! Unfortunately due to the prohibitive cost of import I dont get to have much else.
Will do, though I am not currently questing per se.
Cheers!

Just to tangent on this, Thelema Mountain Vineyards is local to me in South Africa, and they are Thelemic in the Rabelais tradition of that word…
It’s also very nice wine!

Hi Manolisa
I suggest checking out Caduceus Books (the one run by Ben Fernee). He often gets in second hand Kenneth Grant books.

thats excellent, thank you!
I will look further to corroborate it. It is remarkably similar to Great Zimbabwe:
