Author’s Note: This volume serves as both a basic introduction to key concepts behind the Gnosis, and a personal volume concerning my explorations with intuitively exploring the Gnosis myself. Modifications I will make to this article in the near future include adding an additional section about the personal power of practitioners. Edit made 08/03/22: I added a section titled “The Touch of a God” and I corrected the document for

On The Nature of Gods: A Study of SCP 3812
In my quest to perceive the nature of godhood, the void, and eldritchian beings, in addition to the main and extended Cthulhu Mythos texts, I and many others have also relied on pop culture and art as their Call, for research purposes, and to achieve magical means of interacting with the pantheon. As my eldritch “strain” is more mental based, and I myself have an interest in discovering what makes
Preliminary Probable Construction of The Shining Trapezohedron
This is a follow up post to Nyarlathotep and TST’s Energetic Patterns. In the past I have created several copies of The Shining Trapezohedron and things relating to him. Construction methods, the amount and kind of concentration utilized, and the energy put into these forms varies. Below is a summary of my results. The constructs I made are linked at the very end of this post for examination purposes. Eldritch
Nyarlathotep and TST’s Energetic Patterns
(This post is theory, though it is grounded in both observations from others, and those that have been made about primary source material.) From others’ writings we have established that Nyarlathotep has some interesting effects on emotions, using his mental and energetic capabilities. Ny is very capable of manipulating others psychologically, and this carries over into his energetic makeup— as mentally based energy. We can witness the emotional effects of
Self Hypnosis: A Brief Guide
The self hypnosis state is one of deep relaxation, not necessarily a trance state. In order to get into this state of relaxation, we typically will take these steps in order: 1) Induction 2) Deepening 3) Affirmations/Suggestions 4) Exiting A note on affirmations: It is of crucial importance to avoid the use of negative affirmations during self hypnosis, as the subconscious cannot process negatives and your affirmation will be reversed
Eldritches- Getting Started
Regarding working with eldritches: First off, establish what you are planning on accomplishing. Is it gaining knowledge, is it worship, is it simply fascination?, etc. It will likely be difficult for people for others to guide you without information of your intent in this first. I now personally disuade people from engaging in worship, though there likely is a way to do that carefully. Either way, you should read through
Ar Tonelico and Magical Applications
The Ar Tonelico series of video games (Playstation, created by Akira Tsuchiya) features several languages which can be used in game as both communication devices, as magic, or both. I won’t be focusing much on the overall plot of the game, simply because I don’t have access to the games, but essentially they are roleplaying games where Vanguards protect singers in battle. There are several languages created for the game,
Sundered and Eldritch Power
One of the interesting things about Sundered is its exploration of eldritch powers and corruption. It is a defining theme of the game. I am going to skip over the plot (which I quite enjoyed) and more literary elements in favor of just discussing the aspects involving eldritch energy. In the game, The Shining Trapezohedron is Eshe’s weapon. This is likely achieved through some kind of energetic and physical bond.
