CHURCH OF THE MYSTIC EGG
Centered around a book entitled ‘A study on the beliefs and practices of COTME‘ by Dr.E.Orloff that the two artists found in a second hand occult bookshop.
The book presents an in depth study on the Church of the Mystic Egg, an infamous cult that all but died out in the late 18th century. Key diagrams and illustrations from the book have been restored and will be presented at large scale on the walls of Common.
“Lightest of all are the slumbers of Egg, who may be awakened by the veriest novice in the art. Egg lies drowsing beyond the Great Gate, hideous in form, servant to the sleeping Old Ones who wait for their day once more to dawn.
But Egg may be summoned from his blasphemous dreams and forced to serve. One who achieves control over him has access to the wealth of the world; but great care must be exercised, for fear of Egg’s wrath, for even he shares the might of the Old Ones, and pity be upon him who summons him and loses control. Egg is called by simple incantations. The blood of a male cat is needed and the undergarment of a woman.”
