The Cthulhu Cult In Modern Music and Film

[darketernal]

While there are probably many who consider HP Lovecraft and his literature to be purely fiction, it is my experience that the Cthulhu Cult is a real religion, that a number of insiders practice, and HP Lovecraft was most definately an esoteric initiate of some knowledge and of the bloodline. Cthulhu is one of the ascended old ones who retains an interest in the flow of energy on earth.

I would like to compile some film clips and songs for comparison.

The Masked Ball, from Eyes Wide Shut... and yes I am very aware that the song is a Romanian Chant played in reverse...

The trailer for Cthulhu... and independant film I've not yet been able to obtain a full copy of. It appears to be a modern retelling of Lovecrafts The Shadow Over Innsmouth

Cthulhu dawn

Spatter the stars
Douse their luminosity
With our amniotic retch
Promulgating the birth
Of another Hell on Earth
Shadows gather poisoned henna for the flesh
A necrotic cattle brand
The hissing downfall pentagram
Carven deep upon the church doors of the damned
But no Passover is planned
A great renewal growls at hand
And only when they're running
Will they come to understand...

So ends the pitiful reign of Man

When the moon exhales
Behind a veil
Of widowhood and clouds
On a Biblical scale
We raise the stakes
To silhouette the impaled
Crowds...

Within this kissed disembowel arena
A broken seal on an ancient curse
Unleashes beasts from the seismic breach
With lightning reach and genocidal thirst
Mountains of archaos theories
In collision as at planetary dawn
Apocalypse's razorbacks
Beat wings on glass as thunder cracks
Unfurled across a world hurled to the black

Cthulhu dawn

Shatter the glass house
Wherein spirits breathe out
Halitosis of the soul
From a recking abscess
Plague of far righteousness
All fates hang in the balance
Mocking crucified dolls
An inquisition ours
When the Sun goes out our powers
Will extend throughout Heaven like Asphodel
As they have for countless lustrum
In dark Midian accustoned
To burning effigies of our enemies well

So begins the sibilant world Death knell...

When a corpse wind howls
And awakes from drowse
The scheming dead freed
Of gossamer shrouds
We gorgonise eyes
Of the storm aroused
Red...

Blinding time
All lines dine on this instance
A melting spool of beggar, negative frames
The skies teem alive, to watch die
Mankind hauled to fable in vast tenement graves...

Cthulhu dawn

(I used to have the tab book for this album and knew this song on the guitar LoL)
Messenger of Fear in sight
Dark deception kills the light

Hybrid children watch the sea
Pray for Father, roaming free

fearless Wretch
insanity
He watches
lurking beneath the sea
great Old One
forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the Shadows is rising
immortal
in madness You dwell

Crawling Chaos, underground
cult has summoned, twisted sound

Out from ruins once possessed
fallen city, living death

fearless Wretch
insanity
He watches
lurking beneath the sea
timeless sleep
has been upset
He awakens
Hunter of the Shadows is rising
immortal
in madness You dwell

Not dead which eternal lie
stranger eons Death may die

drain you of your sanity
face The Thing That Should Not Be

fearless Wretch
insanity
He watches
lurking beneath the sea
great Old One
forbidden site
He searches
Hunter of the Shadows is rising
immortal
in madness You dwell.

Any thoughts or does anyone have anything to add to the thread?

Edit: I should note that Cthulhu is an older name for Dagon.

I was wondering if this is prevailing religion in Illuminati? Where cult of Aton fits? Are they same or different things?

Great topic!

A couple of small reality checks here......the CoF song is just a rather childish and naff attempt to turn a series of horror stories into a whine and "Cthulhu" is *not* an older name for Dagon (Cthulhu is a name made up by Lovecraft) they are both simply Oceanic deities.

The Lovecraft mythos is simply a representation of HPL's own blend of racism and materialism used as a mask placed on the protean nature of life. Great stories, wicked RPG in my youth, but probably no global cult of worshippers dancing round Halliburton(TM) monoliths.... ;)

That said, check out both "NWI" (New World Industries) and "Full Wilderness" if you want to compare and contrast with any NWO agendas :D

I beg to differ, however if you would like the material on this you have please do so. There is most definately a Cthulhu cult however among the bloodlines. Please post up your material if for no other reason than to contrast what I have said. I've not played the Call of Cthulhu rpg, but yes I've heard of it.

There is a rather odd bunch (Typhonian types IIRC) of ritual magicians who claim to work with the Cthulhu mythos but show very little understanding of it....

I have no posts at the moment; what I have gathered has been done the old fashioned way (reading books and talking to people ;) ). CoC is a great RPG which I used to run in my youth....it's built in bias was the same that the ritual magicians mentioned above follow...which generally misrepresents what is going on.

Lovecraft was a racist (note: I still like his stories, this isnt an anti-HPL rant :D ) hence all the mentions of "blacks", "hybrids", "mongrols", "south sea tribes", "chinamen" etc.... If you can get a hold of it, see if you can read Annalee Newitzs' essay on the Undead and Colonisation; I dont necessarily agree with all her findings but its a cracking read non-the-less.

His stories were essentially pro modern materialism, even fascism, especially that of white technological culture, but with a constant dread of its weakness in the face of hybridisation of races and drawing on the older things (hence references to "that which should not be" or "those which should be dead but are not" - necromancy is a metaphor for this....looking at older ways of doing things was deemed "Evil").

So in many ways, yes Lovecrafts own take on the mythos is indeed inkeeping with the NWO approach (driven, by paranoia at their artifaces own fragility, to defend the empire they make....all the while dreading the protean reality they know will wipe it out eventually). The cthulhu mythos is the demonisation of the anti-NWO currents in the world; the masks HPL puts on the protean nature of reality is a collection of demon monster masks (cthulhu ect).

So the NWO is actually an ANTI-Cthulhu cult. The NWO seeks to build an artificial stable empire all whilst knowing the forces of protean reality "lurk" in the shadows waiting to pull down their ediface.

:)

To clarify: Lovecraft's own perspective was in keeping with the NWO - they want a modern empire but are paranoid that it will collapse because of the protean truth about reality. HPL's stance in his stories is pro the same empire, which is why he demonises the protean forces (as cthulhu, dagon, deathless chinamen etc), but the mythos itself is ANTI NWO :D

[knightofthegrail]

Ok the first one (f'nar f'nar) was a bit garbled (how many Cthulhu puns?! ):D

I will see if I can clarify a little more.

HPL was a “mechanist materialist” and a racist; he wrote from the perspective that the modern empire of man is the best so far, that older “primitive cultures” (inc races) pollute this culture and weaken it, hence he demonised the protean nature of the world – putting monster masks on it because it threatened the stable white controlled civilisation he favoured. These mask were both his representations of Cthulhu etc and his abhorrence of “mongrel” races and people who looked to the past for guidance (not leaving dead what should be dead, in his view).
[Note: For an interesting look at his approach, seek out Annalee Newitz's “Undead races and the revenge of the colonised”.....it doesnt get it spot on, but it is an interesting look at the issues (it was part of her PhD thesis IIRC).]

The NWO takes the same stance as HPL; they would see the mythos in the same way he did – as monsters to be fought off.

They both then share a common paranoia about the protean truth of the world; which HPL personified and demonised as the Cthulhu cult.

The mythos itself is thus actually ANTI the NWO, being, as it is, the forces of flexibility and impermanence in the universe.

This means that the NWO is fundamentally contrary to the underlying nature of the mythos. The mythos, to them, represents all the things they fear; chaos, change, nature, fluidity, proteaness, out of control. What they want is a strict controlled permanence, orderly, specific, solid.....which is how they are fundamentally unsuited to being a Cthulhu cult :)

Probably :D

Lovecrafts Necronomicon, like Rosicrucianism stems from Islamic/Arabic lands.

Was a mad arab who first "heard the voice of the elders" and wrote down the Necronomicon.

Lovecrafts attempt was probably a homage to the British Magicians who translated it in Elizabethan England, both of whom were Rosicrucians, to my knowledge.
