    1. What I wrote isn't cryptography, Sabine: it's the ceremonial cry of Cthulhu worshippers, in the language of the Elder Gods. If you look under "Cthulhu" at Wikipedia you can read all about it.

  4. Thanks all. I read most of the H.P.Lovecraft stories when I was a spotty art student in the 60's on the bus on the way to college. I worked my way through lots of classics during that bumpy 40 minute journey. Lord of the Rings. Gormanghast trilogy, On The Road, Clockwork Orange, Catch 22, etc. When you are 17 you are like a big sponge soaking everything up! Art, literature, poetry, music - it was a wonderful time. Those formative years tend to stay with you through life and effect everything you do in subtle ways.
