Thanks! I may be looking for submissions soon. I plan to expand this site... not sure what shape it will take yet. I do think that the time for a Mythos/Occult massage board is well overdue.

I'm not altogether sure. This, I think, is due to the structure of the EOD. I have never been a member so I can't speek for them directly but they follow the alchemical formula of Solve et Cuagula. This means that when the present director of the order goes in grand magickal retirement the order goes into a period of silence - the order is dissolved. At the end of this period he or she appoints a new director and the order is formed again with all new members. They are, for all practicle purposses a whole new order. A while back there was a major scism. On one side the Yaddith Lodge - comprised of former directors - wanted to retain it's autonomy yet affiliate with the Typhonian OTO. On the other a new director was appointed without a period of silence. This made it's way to alt.horror.cthulhu, met with downright hostility from subscribers. I was sad to see this, but it seems that there is a long legacy of this within occult schools. Both the Golden Dawn and the OTO have fought their internal battles in court-rooms at times. If any members or former members are reading this, I hope I'm not being in any way offensive. Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of these points.

If you keep tabs on both Ebay and alt.horror.cthulhu you may find someone selling EOD chapbooks. It happens now and then. Much of the material in these is posted on Phil Hine's web site.

I think so too. I'm sure I will not always be working with the Cthulhu Mythos. I guess I don't know what direction my magic may take. It seems that what I'm doing now just happened and has a life of it's own. I at some point tapped into a current and feel I hit a major vien.

Thanks again. I hope this board become a good source of information. Not just from myself but others wroking within this paradigm. I always have more to learn.
