The winter solstice of 2012 will occur at 11:11 GMT on December 21st 2012, the same day the Mayan Long Count Calender flips over or “ends” as some say. On that morning the sun will appear to rise into the area of the sky we refer to as the galactic center or nuclear bulge. It is the location of the super-massive black hole at the center of the rotation of the the Milky Way galaxy. The sun’s position in the sky on this day will also be perceptively aligned with the “Dark Rift” (the dark band that to the eye seems to divide the bright band of the Milky Way galaxy). Additionally on this day, Jupiter and Saturn will be involved in an astrological formation known as a Yod (finger of God.) With the combination of all these celestial events, the “stars will be right” and Cthulhu will begin to awaken.
Some things to note about this event.
As the event is in the South Pacific seas, at the newly refurbished [R’lyeh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%27lyeh)] [GoogleMaps http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=47%C2%B09%27S+126%C2%B043%27W&hl=en&ie=UTF8&sll=51.433351,-0.294328&sspn=0.107446,0.308647&vpsrc=0&t=m&z=16, members will need to arrange their own transport. Due to health and safety concerns only those willing to be in bound mental and spiritual servitude to the great Cuthlhu should attend. All other members should prepare for The End Of The World in their own particular way. In the event of The End Of The World all future Science Fiction Bookclub meetings will be cancelled and refunded provided. Bookclub social events are open to members who have attended one or more book events (or paid the Honorarium) prior to this event. At the proper time,”the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from his tomb to revive His subjects and resume his rule of earth….Then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom”
In 1997 (15 years in advance to 2012) a “bloop” was heard in the southern Pacific Ocean within a 500 mile proximity of the supposed location of Cthulhu’s sunken tomb-city known as R’lyeh located at 47°9’S 126°43’W. This “bloop” was louder than any known animal noise (even whales) and suggested to possibly be from a gigantic cephalopod.
Cthulhu’s appearance has been said to be of a gigantic cephalopod with a body like a man’s and bat-like wings. “a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind”
Cthulhu rises in 2012.
