Priesthood I'm going to try a different approach with Live Chat. It used to be, I used the 'event scheduler' to create a live chat schedule. When people stopped showing up, I stopped scheduling them.
If you are interested in LIVE CHAT, here on the site (via TINY CHAT) please respond to this blog. We can stick to the outline of topics we created from the beginning, to hammer out any questions, or obstacles cultists are facing.
I will send a reminder the week of the scheduled chat. If you wish to be reminded, please PM ME. I will also put it on the main wall.

Monday 8pm - Cthulhu Cult

Priesthood Love yourself and watch-
Today, tomorrow, always.
First establish yourself in THE WAY.
Then teach, and so defeat sorrow.
To straighten the crooked,
you must first do a harder thing-
Straighten yourself.
You are your only master.
Who else?
Subdue yourself,
and discover your master.
Willfully you have fed your own mischief.
Soon it will crush you,
as the diamond crushes the stone.
By your own folly,
you will be brought as low as
your worst enemy wishes.
So the creeper chokes the tree.
How hard it is to serve yourself,
how easy to lose yourself,
in mischief and folly.
The kashta reed dies when it bears fruit.
So the fool scorning the teachings of the awakened,
spurning those who follow the law,
perishs when his folly flowers.
Mischief is yours.
Sorrow is yours.
But virtue also is yours,
and purity.
You are the source of all purity and impurity.
No one purifies another.
Never neglect your work,
for another's,
however great his need.
Your work is to discover your work,
and then with all your heart,
to give yourself to it.

Priesthood From the Wiki Page:
"Cult of CthulhuCthulhu is depicted as having a worldwide doomsday cult centered in Arabia, with followers in regions as far-flung as Greenland and Louisiana.[10] There are leaders of the cult "in the mountains of China" who are said to be immortal. Cthulhu is described by some of these cultists as the "great priest" of "the Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky."[11]
The cult is noted for chanting the phrase "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", which translates as "In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."[12] This is often shortened to "Cthulhu fhtagn", which might possibly mean "Cthulhu waits", "Cthulhu dreams",[13] or "Cthulhu waits dreaming."[14]
One cultist, known as Old Castro, provides the most elaborate information given in Lovecraft's fiction about Cthulhu. The Great Old Ones, according to Castro, had come from the stars to rule the world in ages past.
They were not composed altogether of flesh and blood. They had shape...but that shape was not made of matter. When the stars were right, They could plunge from world to world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, They could not live. But although They no longer lived, They would never really die. They all lay in stone houses in Their great city of R'lyeh, preserved by the spells of mighty Cthulhu for a glorious resurrection when the stars and the earth might once more be ready for Them.[15]
Castro points to a "much-discussed couplet" from Abdul Alhazred's Necronomicon:
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.[16]
Castro explains the role of the Cthulhu Cult, stating that when the stars and the earth "might once more be ready" for the Great Old Ones, "some force from outside must serve to liberate their bodies. The spells that preserved Them intact likewise prevented them from making an initial move."[15] At the proper time, the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from his tomb to revive His subjects and resume his rule of earth....Then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.[17]
The character goes on to report that the Great Old Ones are telepathic and "knew all that was occurring in the universe". They were able to communicate with the first humans by "moulding their dreams", thus establishing the Cthulhu Cult, but after R'lyeh had sunk beneath the waves, "the deep waters, full of the one primal mystery through which not even thought can pass, had cut off the spectral intercourse."[18]
Additionally, The Shadow Over Innsmouth establishes that Cthulhu is also worshipped by the nonhuman creatures known as Deep Ones.[19] “The Whisperer in Darkness” establishes that Cthulhu is one of many deities worshiped by the Mi-Go."

It is in this manner, that the Cthulhu Cult operates.
1. A level of ambiguity, true Occultism.
2. It is a signaling beacon, a whisperer in the dark. Beckoning to to listen for the call.
3. It is a harbinger of the fellowship dedicated to the Work involved in awakening the Old Ones.
4. It is a conduit for the work, and detection of the proper star alignments, to readying the earth for their return.
5. It is the teaching rock, by which the Priests of the Cult, guide us to the holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.
