Although not permanently a believer of this idea, I have found great personal power in some Cthulhu rituals . And it's a great kick to meet the monster under the sea. Howard Phillips Lovecraft, like Crowley, has given both the world in general and Chaos Magick a great gift. Whether you use his writing in ritual, merely for enjoyment, or even for study, he is a truly inspiring figure. This is a free world.
Nothing is true.
Everything is permitted. Love under law. Read HPL and learn. We all draw our inspiration from different sources. In the end, this is what makes it all worth it.
