The Way of Flesh

-
Dispersed cohort of mystics who believe the way to truth,
understanding, and immortality is through the consumption of human
flesh and organ. Often mistaken (or coinciding!) for rumoured cults of
true ghuls that lurk beneath the oldest cities the the Rhiat.

The Becoming: There are two doors to the Way of the Flesh: being born
again and communion. Those that are born again are termed the
anpiscis. The rebirth is the process of death. When one dies from
ghuls feeding, it is likely they will be born again. It is a painful
and traumatic process. It is never desired by the victim, and rarely
intended by the Ghul. The process takes seven days after the victims
death, the victim becomes cognizent, but can not act, move, or speak.
Thus the new anpiscis will often awaken in a morgue, during funerary
preparation, or during the funeral. The most traumatic can be when the
awakening comes after the burial. Many anpisci lose their sanity from
the awakening and claw or chew themselves to oblivion, even before
their second life begins.
The path of communion is less traumatic, but more depraved. It is the
creation of true ghouls, or their proper term ghul. It results from a
steady, continuous diet on solely human flesh and blood. Many of the
grotesque and repellant characterisitics of the ghul occur from
frequent flesh consumption, as in the case of cannibals and deranged
serial killers.

Why flesh and blood? It is traditional, and written in the holy books,
that flesh and blood are essential to eternal life. But the flesh must
be infused with prana or the omnessence of the empyreal realm, which
is what sustains the body for eternity. For this same, reason,
spiritual people and mystics are preferred food sources.

The hermetic ideas of correspondence apply to the Ghul. Effects are
obtained through consumptia the act of eating particular body parts.
The eyes bring memories, the brain knowledge, the muscles and sinews
strength and resistence, the genetalia passion and virility.

Grandmother Moss

-
Grandmother Moss lives on the edge of the "Boglai" Jungle just beyond the Ghikarn Colony of Tuloi. She was an original resident of the Mindat coastal community and is one of the last remaining of her people in the areas. Grandmother Moss lives with her granddaughter, Ahko, and is protective of her to a level bordering on abusive.  She sees to Ahko's studies, putting her on the path to Mindat Academia (including the broad brimmed hat).  She trusts her granddaughter's judgement and skills enough to let her roam a few miles distant from their home, but only when her studies are complete. They live together in a small stilt-raised hut obscured by approachable directions by heavy, cultivated foliage.  They are served by a nog, Pilk, who lives under the hut with his pet pitchfork and tends to gardening and manual labor. Grandmother Moss appears as a weather-worn elderly Mindat woman, who is relatively spry for her age, despite failing sigh and use of a cane.  She chain

Odic, Vril, and other Vital Fluids

-
Modern philosophy has admitted a plenum or universal principle of fluid matter, which occupies all space; and that as all bodies moving in the world, abound with pores, this fluid matter introduces itself through the interstices and returns backwards and forwards, flowing through one body by the currents which issue therefrom to another, as in a magnet, which produces that phenomenon which we call Animal Magnetism. This fluid consists of fire, air and spirit, and like all other fluids tends to an equilibrium, therefore it is easy to conceive how the efforts which the bodies make towards each other produce animal electricity, which in fact is no more than the effect produced between two bodies, one of which has more motion than the other; a phenomenon serving to prove that the body which has most motion communicates it to the other, until the medium of motion becomes an equilibrium between the two bodies, and then this equality of motion produces animal electricity.
