The Elder Gods

For far too long cultists haven't been able to appropriately honor the dark deities of the Mythos. More mainstream religions have companies specializing in providing supplies to their followers, but such is not the case for more ancient sects. All that changes today.

Cryptocurium proudly presents their new line of Lovecraftian idols, conveniently sized for all your home cult activities. Whether you're a devotee of Yog-Sothoth, Shub-Niggurath, Azathoth, or Nyarlathotep these handsome statuettes will be the highlight of your shrine and the envy of your fellow worshippers. Each idol is available in a limited edition of 50 pieces at the Cryptocurium website.

Jordan said...: Awesome statues here. I love the weathered, ancient look to them - gives a really authentic feel to them. Azathoth looks AMAZING, but I'm a little underwhelmed by Nyarlathotep - he's my favorite but my least favorite statue here.; January 6, 2016 at 6:32 AM

Raven said...: @ knobgobbler :

But that doesn't rhyme, like "freezes" and "Jesus"... what you want is something like:

   I don't care if I freeze my ass off
   Long as I got my idol OF Az-ath-oth | Long as I got that star metal Yog'soth
   Sitting on the dashboard of my car!; January 7, 2016 at 10:52 AM
Gongchime said...: I was the most recent person to buy one of you Cthulhu sculptures. I'd also like to buy Shubniggurath, Nyarlathotep, and Azathoth. Get back to me and let me know if it'still possible and how much you want for them.; January 25, 2018 at 11:53 AM

What's All This?

Propnomicon focuses on horror and fantasy props of interest to fans of H. P. Lovecraft and players of the "Call of Cthulhu" role playing game. That includes items directly inspired by Lovecraft's writing, DIY information for creating your own works, printable paper props, and source materials related to the 1920's and 30's, the "classic era" of the Cthulhu Mythos. Beyond that, the proprietor of the blog also enjoys pulp action stories, classic supernatural horror, mad science, and the occasional foray into more modern interpretations of the Mythos.
