Cult of Yig
Cult of Yig — a secret order; rites inferred from ledgers, baptisms, and disappearances. Register ME-1931-A71/2151.
Overview
Miskatonic seal ME-1931-A71/2151 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `cult-of-yig`.
Cult of Yig enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.
Southwestern serpent worshippers punishing snake-killers.
Period attestation: post-lovecraft.
Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
Description
Oklahoma and Arizona reports cluster near mound sites.
Sensory reports conflict in detail — scale, colour, limb count — yet agree that the phenomenon offends proportion.
Olfactory notes in depositions: salt, copper, wet stone, and organic sweetness like fruit fermenting in a closed room.
Historical Record
Distinct from Y'golonac perversion cults in Britain.
Post-1937 pastiche and game supplements multiplied references; the archive tags those layers expanded mythos unless a primary citation is supplied.
Cross-links at dossier foot should be treated as hypotheses, not as family trees carved in stone.
Cult Activity
Do not engage alone; do not accept hospitality from hosts who show windows to other eras.
Submit Form Theta-9 if conversation turns to cities remembered only in sleep.
What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
Archive Notes
Cite archive slug `cult-of-yig` in all cross-references. What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
