You know, it's a good thing I already know what you're talking about with Crowley, Dee and Ozzy, otherwise I'd be wiki-wandering through that shit for days. :-P

Aw, what's wrong with Crowley? ;)

Aleister Crowley was notable for two things.
1. He self cured himself of Heroin addiction.
2. He was instrumental in the spread of the American Catholic Church. As opposed to the Roman Catholic Church in America.

He was also kicked out of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn for being too sex-obsessed...

Dragonrider 15th Dec 2015, 11:38 PM

That only counts if you feel the Golden Dawn really means something. Almost all of us that are Family Trad. Really have little if any use for its members, or for Crowley.

Pardon my ignorance but Family Trad?

She works in a used book store. When she has free time, she doesn't, for example, play Sudoku... :)

Wasn't Crowley also a character from Good Omens?

Oh, here we go with the gorram super obscure references... you guys already had me read Lovecraft Wiki bio as well as one of his short stories... good grief I better be getting college credit for this. :)

@Audacity: "gravity" ha, that's good

Professor Etheric 16th Dec 2015, 12:53 AM

It could be worse. I could be handing out obscure references and NOT providing information...

Like, for instance, referencing Russian authors or something...

That's what I always say when people think it was me !
But for some unfathomable reason, it never seems to work.
They must think us doggies are wicked, or something.

Around here, we know it's CATS that are wicked. :)

I definitely remember that Ozzy song (but probably not much of the lyrics), but I guess I never really knew that he was a wizard.

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 16th Dec 2015, 10:35 AM

I knew the song before I really started getting into studying mystical and occult things. Then, when I DID start looking into it, mind: blown!

Audacity 16th Dec 2015, 8:51 AM

You know, I thought the whole point of the interweb was to for like-minded individuals to gather together and make really obscure Lovecraftian references . . . or something. God knows I rarely know what people are talking about on the net.
Doesn't stop me from 'weighing' in though.
@Lirvilas Did you see what I did there? Heeheeheehee!

pastutopia 16th Dec 2015, 12:42 PM

Haha reading the wikipedia articles it occurs to me I'm far more familiar with many fictionalized versions of historical figures than the real ones (gotta do better indexing on the brain...)...

Still, that sets a pretty high bar for intrigue and ancient conspiracy of where we are headed if we are hitting Crowley level already... :P

Professor Etheric 16th Dec 2015, 12:43 PM

Just as a warning, if the story is better than the fact, I tend to go with the story in my... er... stories.

Hold on to your hat (if you have one - if you don't, I would recommend getting one). We are going DEEP!

pastutopia 17th Dec 2015, 12:04 AM

Embellished history is best history! ;)

I'll see if I can get an appropriate hat. Maybe some tinfoil? Does that help where we going?! ;)

Professor Etheric 17th Dec 2015, 12:25 AM

A tinfoil hat is decidedly appropriate! :)

Well what do ya know there those kids are... EATING AGAIN XDD

Aw man I wish I had friends I could go explore creepy tunnels with and eat and discuss mysterious things wiiith. I can't get any of my friends to throw away a bug let alone go in a creepy tunnel X)

Professor Etheric 17th Dec 2015, 12:34 AM

They're growing kids! :D

Ever since watching The Goonies and Scooby-Doo growing up, I have always thought it would be cool to do this kind of thing. Then I found out that urban exploration is a real thing, and filed it away for later use. "Later use" came with this run of Autumn Bay!
