I was just wondering how many cultists believe that Cthulhu and the other Old Ones are physically real and how many of you see them, as this website put it, as "archeypal forces that represent the self"?
Personally Im inclined to see them more metaphorically than literally and I wonder how many others feel the same.
Of course to each their own! Im just curious.
Hail brothers and sisters in Cthulhu!
One can only hope.
Ia! Of course what is real is not real and what is not real is real. All it takes is encounterability to fashion and complete the lateral portal which is the bridge to certain knowledge. Be strong! Doubt everything! Don't fall for second best! Bring flowers!!
In any case the Great Old Ones, through means of either an extremely powerful Egregore or actual Entity, have been an implement to draw from for many, including myself.
Hello
I believe in the Great Old Ones and Outer Gods as real physical entities, but I do not think they really care that we believe in them or not. In any case, if they were not real, I am sure that the true gods should be very similar.
