All those brothers, Left Hand Path
Why are they waiting
When influence clearly wains
_
Come together in worship
You praise the same evil Gods
Be whole under one order
_
All my brothers, Left Hand Path
Unify through me
Darkness shall not be divided

That Haiku triad came to me in a dream… a nightmare, actually, wherein ominously robed and balefully masked beings walked the earth and through the earth. As obstacles, space and time had little meaning for these beings. They were the Keepers of something unfathomably potent, something which demanded secrecy, as well as, a heightened understanding of things… of certain developments. Beneath their baleful masks, three eyes of each Keeper were known, three eyes of seven. Those which remained mysterious, such eyes were allowed to gaze an alien abyss of eternal night. In that starless void pulsated the last source of energy which humans were permitted to contact. Energy streamed, undulated, and laughed with sardonic, mocking glee… the resonance of which the Keepers intimately knew.
There were nine Keepers of Distant Arcana, if my dream memory serves. Their reason for existing was tied to man’s evolution. The Keepers faithfully served one God who was many and many Gods who were one. Such reverence for the divine revealed the road to mastery. The Keepers knew this and so decadently worshiped the multiple facets of this malificent jewel.
If Left Hand Path practitioners struggled for unity, according to the dream, then they would constitute a force which could not be brushed aside. Those of a certain blood who followed the example set by the Keepers would know hideous paradise on earth. They also found the strength to crush all who opposed them. This vision led me to believe, now more than ever, that our unification is essential… just as we know the will of power is sacred and undeniable.
Those who refused the Keepers’ wise council could not act in unison and did not achieve any sense of harmony; only discord knew they. And in my dream the outcome of man’s folly was made plain. To struggle alone and divided meant continued slavery or worse. I witnessed a people, our people dressed in clashing black uniforms which only acerbated the confused state of things, annihilated by the majority. Some were burned at the stake, others drowned, but most were pierced with metal until our path ran thick with ancient blood. Those who practice the Left Hand Path, striving for antinomianism and self-deification, were mercilessly struck down by those ordinary human beings who are comfortable with ignorance, conformity, and impotence.
As I interpreted the above poem, upon waking, a need for the Cult of Cthulhu to extend itself consumed me. We must stretch our membranous, slime soaked tentacles while similar organizations reach out to connect with something greater, a higher source that might bridge all differences and correct all misalignments. In time, according to the guidance of conscious leadership, the entire Left Hand Path will erupt triumphant as an unrivaled fist to smash those oppressive elements which seek to halt our monstrous progress. Unification is our destiny. The more we attempt to elude this eldritch and infernal design, the more needless suffering we force upon ourselves and our children.
As far as the Cult of Cthulhu is concerned, unification begins now. The following outlines our short, medium, and long term strategy…
Short Term Goals
The Cult of Cthulhu and other Left Hand Path groups will each appoint one or more ambassadors. This high ranking diplomat will represent his organization while immersing himself in receptive communities. An ambassador may dispense advice and support to the organization where he is stationed while building mutually beneficial cooperation between LHP groups.
The Cult of Cthulhu will aggressively cultivate new Grottoes. We believe that Grotto proliferation may enrich the LHP community as a whole, giving smaller less established groups much needed foundation. We encourage larger organizations to do likewise, creating their own network of smaller, connected cells.
The Cult of Cthulhu suggests engaging in a partnership with various LHP organizations. Such partnerships allow distinct orders to share successes, setbacks, information, contacts, skills, resources, and common goals.
Medium Term Goals
I believe that integration is the next logical step, though it may take 2, 5, or possibly even 10 years before acceptance. Eventually, several orders will recognize the need to combine and band together. This forward thinking initiative would integrate some of the most powerful LHP organizations into a single leviathan of antinomian and self-deified might. Don’t let its progressive nature alarm you; integration is based solely upon the will of power, not the caress of egos. Ten individual groups will always be weaker than one group with the strength of ten.
Long Term Goals
Now, this might just be the scariest proposition. Nevertheless, I foresee the dissolution of every existing Left Hand Path organization in favor of a united movement. We shall not know freedom until Awakened religious zealots, philosophers, occultists, magicians, and libertines come together as a single force. When all the barriers are down, when all the borders have been laid to rest… the sinister way shall present itself to the righteous. The many will give aid to the few just as the few will give aid to the many, so long as commonality exists. Society falls into darkness as our seeds take root… growing exponentially outwards in a crystalline pattern of ascending dimensions!

This is a good plan. The Ambassadors will speak our cause. The Grottoes will provide direction and focus to accomplish our Work. Empowerment by means of unification. We, as well as others, have taken the Left Hand Path; we represent the Darkness. This is the day of night and is to be forever. There can be no other way for the truly devout. Through unification we shall find strength that will reinforce all individual sections to prevent the deterioration of fragmented groups. The truth and falsehood of things shall become apparent in these times of impending change.
IGROG OZRA, INHA RITEE DAERA!!!!

Interesting that you mention the keepers, obviously a council of sorts, and that they all appear to be of different background but held together by a common purpose.
We have goals; a blueprint for the abomination…now we need the skeleton on which to lay the flesh.
For the goals outline above, the afore mentioned council is exactly what is required…Ambassadors are an excellent first step to contacting and building like-minded individuals, but you will need a “ruling council” comprised of all the various paths which is able to interface on probably a daily basis to establish goals and oversee activity and training of all under their wing. The over-all number of said council is irrelevant, what is important is that the council grows over time as new paths join this coalition. Additionally, each path or paradigm should also have its own ruling council which is to interface with the “Council of Amalgamation.”
Of course, all of this will horribly difficult. LHP mindset encourages solitary activity and self deification, and this will lead to much head-butting… We need to organize a group soon so that as it builds in character and influence others will see the purpose and necessity for such a movement, rather than the perceived loss of individuality or personal goals.
That of which you speak is sweet to my ears. The time is coming when the Sons of the Endless Night shall rise again. On a distant hill a horn made of the tusk of a foul beast is being readied…. beneath the caverns without end a sleepless one stirs and rumbles… in the heavens a moan and gasp of angels is heard… the laws of the meek which bind the strong are breaking… the new Gods shall perish like a setting sun and all that was once wild, pure and dark will once again be reborn. There will be no salvation or pity for those who deny us… only a thousands deaths, each one worse than last. Hail Cthulhu!!!
I disagree with comments that this unification will be difficult. In a sense it started the day all adopted the umbrella term Left Hand Path. Both hands are in the same process. Right, Left, and those who walk the gray area between. I see both sides eventually reaching a level of mastery which unites all paths both good and evil to a single path devoted to maintaining the universal balance.
Here what are the obstacles (I think) make this plane difficult to work:
1-Impossible to unite Traditional Satanists and Others with (stupid) razionalistic satanists (in Italian they are called ‘satanisti razionalisti’, I don’t know how they are called in English. They follow lavey doctrine and, worst, compendium demonii) and acid satanists (in Italin satanisti acidi). razionalistic satanists are blinded by their thought to be gods… as they are now!!! Sure to be the best, they are not able to understand there are things they don’t know, so, they can’t evolve. They will not understand we all must evolve to awake. This and the omnipresent individualism in LHP make impossible unite everybody. Too many people sure to be the best, too few people able to understand a hierarchy and a cooperation is needed.
2-Even worst: why LHP and RHP? Only knowing both of them it is possible having a whole understanding picture. It’s like to pretend studying only Yin or only Yang forces (in Taoism). It is like pretend to view a soccer play watching only at our favourite player. We will not be able to understand in which structure what we are watching at (the player) in interacting.
3-Beware of scientology!! They are a criminal structure, absorbing peoples and their money. In Italy a study of the Police Forces about new Religions stated that scientology has a political plane. They have many money. They are reaching political power in USA, Germany, UK, Australia, (not in Italy, where Catholic Church in too powerful inside both Republic and –trying to arise- Monarchy, for them). Inside the scientology rules is wrote that, when they will reach 80% inside a country, they will sterilize everybody is not in scientology. They are slaving people, and every time that is said they counter attack with best lawyers. THEY WANT TO DESTROYS EVERYBODY ELSE. THEY ARE REACHING POWER INSIDE GOVERNMENTS BEFORE ‘CTHULHU CULT’. THEY HAVE GEATER ECONOMIC POWER THAT ‘CTHULHU CULT’. THEY ARE UNITED AND THEY HAVE A HIERARCHY. Stanism is struggling inside itself and never will be united without a civil war KILLING who is only a stupid egocentric. Scientology will destroy every kind of Satanism without problems [it is (till?) unable to defeat greats Monotheisms. Too many peoples…] Other problem: Ultra Orthodox Jews? The military powerful Al Qaeda? In which way Satanism can reach planet power? It can not struggle them! They have more moneys, more weapons, more political power. And all them (even scientology) have men able to kill and ready to kill. So, here we have the next problem.
4-Awake is only for a few people. Only for the most evolved or the most primordials still able to listen, dream, communicate with what we are unable to feel in our everyday sleeping…And these peoples are very few…divided inside many Religions and Cults in both LHP and RHP. Because you show to ignore RHP when you say people inside this one ‘obey’ or other things like this.
5-Finally: the great part of people follow a belief (Satanism, Catholicism, Islam, atheism etc) without understanding, without evolving. Only studying all doctrines we are able to see clear like an eagle over a valley. To reach a gate on the other side of which there is no difference between LHP and RHP. Because Both God and Satan are in each Man…and only Man has this Power! No Demon, no Angel has a dichotomy like the one Man has! But we are sleeping, destroyed by materialism and everyday life. We have to study and practice, to awake the Power inside us. It’s a long way that everybody among Us has to walk. It is self restricting to practice only ‘LHP’ or ‘RHP’. There is something ‘left’ even in God and something ‘right’ even in Satan…or maybe they are the 2 faces of the same power! Nobody of Them is complete without his ‘enemy’.
But I think it’s better work in silence. We have to work for generations (not for 10 years…) before our evolution has reached the (Medium Term) goals. In the meanwhile, it’s better recruiting in silence. Too many ‘sleeping’ atheists, and too many peoples inside each Religion, even in Satanism will perceive a threat in such a work of self evolving joint to unification.
This is what I think…maybe this is not your thinking…reply with your ideas. I’m interested in them.
I believe theistic and atheistic practitioners can agree to disagree, maybe not now but soon.
Awakening is for the few, but a LHP oriented society can be utilized by the majority of people.
Man needs good and evil, yes. But that is not the difference between the right and Left Hand Path… the right hand path desires submission and conformity.

INFERNAL HAILS TO THE ITALIAN SATANISTS!!
The Infinite doesn´t need to be unified on some religious or even spiritual terms. The Infinite doesn´t claim right or left to whatever spiritual path it has chosen. The Infinite understands the dream within the dream and why there is no spoon when you think you´re bending the spoon. So yes , it is indeed important for us who are into the left handed path to be unified and stand firm in our beliefs and stay grounded. If we don´t , we become divided and thus easily manipulable. The official explanation of Satanism is a ridiculous and retarded one. So when we speak of being unified – we´re talking about being unified towards something like some goal , such as by being a strong community. We are not asking anybody outside of the Cult of Cthulhu to believe in anything we believe in. So those who think we´re asking them to believe in something are talking bonkers. I find it sad that people go to the Cult of Cthulhu website just to have an argument with Venger and think they´ll win it. Venger isn´t interested in arguing with people – what he is being told in his dream is that the Infinite just is. When you realize that , you are keeping your feet on the ground spiritually and mastering spiritual discernment without necessarily having to believe in some supernatural deity.
I joined the Cult of Cthulhu because I love the art and creativity. I am also a big fan of the ONA material. The ONA material has helped me more than any weltanshaung or philosophy or way of life before and now some of us are studying zen buddhism and other stuff. Thus , we´re not asking people to think we´re italian ´satanisti bissibissi´or whatever. We´re not attempting to create a one world religion either. What we are doing is such things as asking ourselves certain questions , performing certain tasks , being ready to do certain things , accomplish certain tasks. This makes us appear evil and sinister to most mundanes who operate outside of our ever growing popular networks and our daily lives. Today the Cult of Cthulhu and the ONA are cool. 10 years ago the Illuminati and the Order of the Golden Dawn were cool. 100 , 000 years ago reptilian shapeshifters were cool. Today , mammals rule. Today , the Cult of Cthulhu rules. Unification through the Will of Power , means unification through that which Friedrich Nietzche defined as the Will of Power , which was to be a manifestation in the here and the now of the weltanshaung of the Nietzchean , and in fact any philosopher , any aspiring magician. The philosophical weltanshaung of the sinister tradition as of today , is thus to stand unified and firm in whatever goals we seek to manifest as of tomorrow. To someone like certain well known anti – right wingers , some of us may appear extreme in our political and religious beliefs , or spiritual beliefs. Not all members of the Cult of Cthulhu are atheists , or are being atheists in the sense of being materialistic atheists. Venger has never told me that he´s a materialist – what he said is that he likes such spiritual belifs as atheism , and is fascinated by Lovecraft´s approax to materialistic atheism , which was often nearly impossible for Lovecraft to explain in simple terms to most people. So perhaps we may speak of Lovecraftian atheism. Lovecraftian atheism is different from LaVeyan atheism.
Venger has also criticized LaVeyanism as of today , and has told me that he loved LaVey. For us , LaVeyanism as of modern times has been watered down compared to what it used to be. We find that to be sad – we are glad to know that there are some LaVeyans out there who are open – hearted as well. I gave up on being open – minded about things in 2008 and decided to open my heart instead to whatever possibilities would lie ahead , such as promoting the exploration of Saturn´s moon , Titan , and venturing into deep space in the far future. If there is any name that may be coined for today´s generation , it is the Titan generation. This is because everything from now on during the next two hundred years is going to be more or less about the Saturnian and Jovian systems , and the exploration and manned journeys to Saturn and Jupiter´s moons. I spent the whole of the summer of last year reading solely about Nietzche and the early summer of this year as well. As can be noticed , I am pleased that we are being guided towards unification on a social and spiritual level , but it will not be a unification in the sense of being collectivist – it will be an individual decision. Most of us here are individualists , so we appear as strange , as sinister men and women , ladies and gentlemen , Magi and Maga , Masters and Mistresses of the Earth , to those who do not have eyes to see or ears to hear , or are finding it difficult to understand us , or our motives. Today´s Satanism has got absolutely nothing at all with being popular. Today´s Satanism , as of in the past in real Satanic traditions , is about being sinister , often , perhaps all of the time extreme , and refusing to ally oneself with people who are weak of character or who may be detrimental to the emergence of that which is to come after us. In many ways , therefore , we are not to be understood by those who do not have the courage to stand before us , and ask the one question of who we really are and what we are all about.
Thus , to them , we will appear evil and sinister. They will find such things as the current discussion about the exploration of Titan , to be extremely difficult to participate in topics. Such things as trying to find ways to create a better society instead of a better world. A return to nature , a return to working with one´s hands as well as one´s minds. Being numinous , creative , original , innovative. Being evil , sinister. Being sinister has got nothing to do with behaving psychophantically and in ways which will go against one´s well being. You can be a nice person and still be sinister. So let´s cut all that bullcrap about official Italian spaghetti definition of Satanism , and just accept the emerging weltanshaung for what it is – for it will certainly not be about Satanism solely – the emerging weltanshaung is about the continuance of the expansion of human consciousness on a collective , global level. It is about being aware of who you are on a global level without losing your awareness of your national and cultural identiy. So to the Italian Satanists I say happy hunting. I approax my concept of Satanism from something like a norse / hindu and so on perspective , with an emphasis on nietzchean , lovecraftian and other concepts , and naturally the philosophies of Toynbee and Myatt and of course , Venger. Most people think today that Satanists stand unified in terms of deceiving and lying to others and telling them what to believe and what not to believe. Some of us have poked fun out of this and answered when asked what we will do when the New World Order Come , answered; ´celebrate while a Lovecraftian theocracy is instituted´, or something like that , because we know that of course Lovecraft´s philosophy is certainly not theocratical. We say that the world is like a dream – to many of us , having an experience is something like interpreting a dream on a different level individually. When asked stupid questions , we often reply with a stupid answer because most of us are learning today to differentiate between destructive criticism and simple wisdom.
So I say Infernal hails to the Italian satanists. I wonder if I were to be defined in terms of being ´satanisti spaghetti´ because of my fascination with such things as blood , gore , horror , sci – fi , fantasy and spaghetti westerns?
