At 16 I had my first contact with the Mythos, maybe even 15. I had a dream that, well, among us, the occultists and magicians working with Mythos, we call dreams like those our "Call of Cthulhu" experiences, or, our opening of the door to Cthulhu. It's simply the moment when you make contact. For me, I had a dream where I was running from a building that was being demolished. The classic horror atmosphere, you think, "Don't turn around!", so of course you do, and there was a giant biomass ripping the building apart.

The fact that this entity exists and is in the Mythos, I found out only about 10 years later.

So that was an "Aha!" moment for you, right?

Yes, exactly. Hydra, by Henry Kuttner. I was like, "Damn, I have to translate that story."

I'm not a Mythos practitioner, but thanks to you and Sarkir I definitely got to know a lot about this. I know that people can do this in the traditional intellectual-ceremonial way, and, it'll probably work to a point, but at some point, I can't imagine it working anymore.

It's because this is Mysticism. This entire path is, first and foremost, mystical. It's not magic, it's mysticism, it's about contemplating the laws of the entire cosmos, magic isn't going to help you much here.

Right. So, if we'd classify magic as, influencing reality and the creation of various causalities, that's not how you operate, you mostly go the mystical path of looking inward and discovering various otherworldly spheres.

The manipulation of the macrocosm can still be here, still be present and work, but, it's not the primary goal. The primary goal is gnosis. That's how I'd say it.

Everytime I get asked why I'm doing this, I say that it's to have a chat with them.
