Cult of Cthulhu Oaths
Traditionally, religious orders and magical sects take an oath upon entering the fold. These are sacred vows which must be kept at all times. They serve the initiate along with the order itself. The Cult of Cthulhu doesn't have many rules or laws, yet certain principles need to be maintained. The following oaths could be used in an initiation ceremony, recited to oneself regularly, or scrawled into a magical journal. The point is, these oaths are a guide...use them. When a member of our organization is in doubt, I hope these vows can offer spiritual guidance.
It should be understood that Cult of Cthulhu initiates must adhere to the following oaths. If a fellow Cultist should temporarily fall from grace, then it is the duty of his brother to remind him of the path. The best way to refresh his memory is by quoting the respective oath to him.
Eventually, individual Grottoes may come up with their own oaths, subject to the High Priest's judgment. However, any Grotto oaths shall always be secondary to the Cult of Cthulhu oaths.
Behold, the unholy trinity which binds our faith...
As I walk into the moonless night, I shall do what benefits the Old Ones and Their spawn; whatever is fruitful, righteous, and pleasurable is the way.
As I bow before the green onyx altar, I shall respect and honor the Cult of Cthulhu along with its members and vision. As I grow stronger, so does the Cult. As the Cult grows stronger, so do I.
As I Awaken from my fitful slumber, I summon the Ancient Things from the blackest abyss, for They are the purest distillation of myself. Our struggles will allow us to evolve into what we must become. The Emerald Kingdom of Great Cthulhu is at hand.
