I honestly didn't think that I would find a religion that espouses my beliefs on the universe, mankind, and self perfection, but my research into the cult proved me wrong. It also helps that its packaged in the stylings of one of my favorite authors. If things go well as I dip my toe, I hope to join. Any advice that people have is more than welcome.
Welcome home brother. I recommend seeking all the knowledge available here on this website. Let your mind absorb it. If you are able, I know times are hard right now for a lot of people. However, if you are able to, I would look into to setting aside the necessary funds to purchase a copy of the Bible of Cthulhu.
May they rise.
Welcome Mitchell,
The above advice given is more than adequate, so i won't add anything further.
If you have a spare hour come join us on the discord channel. We host weekly meetings and a bible reading on fridays, you can find out more on the forums or the discord channel itself.

That is not dead, which can eternal lie.

I must say I don't see self-perfection as a central goal of a Cultist. "Black Gnosis"--the awakening to the Outside and the Old Ones--seems much more on point, but I don't see what that has to do with perfection.
Hello and Welcome to the Fold Shoggite.
The concept of attaining self perfection is both simple and complex, both simple enough for me to cover in this message, and at the same time too complex to fully explain.
The basis of the belief of this cult, is a 4 step process we refer to as “The Work”, split into the following areas;
The first step is to heed The Call. Every person who is in a way attracted to the cult heeds the call to join.
The second step is to attain Ascension. This is a lengthy process unique to each and individual cultist. Each cultist must reflect on their individual lives, and work on their weak areas, to eventually attain self-perfection.
The third step is Unification. This is the responsibility of each individual cultist to spread the word of the cult, and for each cultist to contribute what they can towards the betterment of the cult and its memebers.
The fourth and final step is The Great Work. This is the grand goal of this cult, to free humanity of societal, religious and corporate oppression. To continue the Great Old One’s work on this earth, and to bring around a new age of enlightenment. You may choose to call this the concept of Black Gnosis (right wing anarchism), however it is not as simple as this, and to call this concept right wing anarchism would be both wrong, inapropriate and irresponsible.
Each step is as crucial as the last, you cannot have one without the other. Arguably the most important step on this ladder is to attain Ascension, and therefore self-perfection. A cultist is of no use to themself and others if they cannot stand on their own 2 feet, and have nothing to contribute to the greater fold.
I would love to get more in depth on this subject, but I simply do not have the time to write everything out. If you so choose, you may purchase a copy of The Bible, which outlines all the aforementioned concepts in great depth. Alternatively you may look at the cult’s material for free on this website, or chose to take the tests and learning materials on the Miskatonic University.
