The Mystery of Sodalitas Vulturis Volantis

a reply to: Mandy555

Hey Mandy. I know nothing of magic or magick or whatever but I have read a book that may have the answer to your question....

In the book The Witches Of Chiswick there is an organization of witches and wizards which seek to use computers and machines to "perfectly" conduct spells and magic....

It just came to mind when I was reading your reply.

BTW I'm starting to see a pattern of common members in the threads I find most intriguing. And you're one of them. Along with eis and others.

I'm a hard person to surprise and the holes I'm exploring tonight have me befuddled.

Back on topic, ..do you think this is a possibility? Involving the computer geniuses..

I was interested in this when it was first discussed here but had forgotten about it.

Thanks for the post - I need to dig a little deeper on this one. Good timing too, as I just finished researching something else that interested me and I was wondering where to go next.

Yeah, I'm that guy...

Dept of the Unorthodox = Dept of Convolution

Hi, the current UFO news took me down a rabbit hole about UFOs which took me down a rabbit hole about Forgotten Languages which took me down this rabbit hole about the S.V.V. and the Department of Convolution. After looking through basically everything on the internet about this topic, I still have not really been able to piece together a picture of what the Department of Convolution is, what they are doing, what their goal is, etc. Is there a current consensus on these things? Some things seem to point to it being an ARG, some things seem to point to it being a front for a porn website scam, some things seem to point to it being a way to recruit people into a cult, some things seem to point to it being some secretive organization attempting and experimenting ways for people to change reality, and some things seem to point to it being a way for the CIA to trick people into thinking they are joining some secretive organization or playing an ARG when in reality they are test subjects for various ways the CIA is experimenting with possible mind control techniques. Someone on Reddit said that he had to leave because it was mentally affecting him so much. He said that he either "became psychotic or its absolutely possible to actually manipulate reality as we understand it under the right conditions." This sounds to me like this guy either joined some secretive organization that's attempting and experimenting ways for people to change reality or was tricked by the CIA into thinking that's what was happening when in reality he was a test subject for attempted mind control. So, which of these has the most proof behind it/which of these is the current consensus? This guy from an old thread on this site seems to corroborate that it's CIA brainwashing. Also, what's up with the video of Maria being kidnapped? How does that tie into all of this? And was Cicada 3301 done by the DoC too? Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask these things, wasn't really sure where to ask since people trying to find out what the Department of Convolution is seems to have dwindled in popularity over the years (while I'm just finding out about it!) and this seems to be the most recent place on the internet it was mentioned. And even though barely anyone talks about it anymore and this is the most recent place on the internet it's really been mentioned, the official Twitter account still makes cryptic posts and puzzles, the last being in March of this year (2023), so it seems like it's a still active/ongoing thing?

You have most of the story.

We had a poster here on ATS who got his hands on internal emails between some of the people directing this program.

He shared them with us, and some of us managed to see them before they(and he presumably) were scrubbed.
They had (seeayeayy).gov emails.

They are using talented people and messing with the fabric of reality and the akashic records to name a few

Whodunnit?

This looks really cool. I've played through many of ARG back in the day. I actually wrote and ran one as well, was frequently talked about on a site called Unfiction. Incidentally, ARG actually stands for Alternate Reality Game. Augmented is a term used more for phone apps like Pokemon Go.

Hard to say if this is an ARG, though it seems like it. I can't say it's impossible for someone to use an ARG as a cover for something nefarious, never heard of it happening. I would keep that possibility in the back of my head. So far it looks like stuff meant to be found, and meant to have an effect on the reader.

The thing about ARGs is that this is how the story is told. Not directly, but through online journals (Ny Takma), company websites (The Beast, i love bees), and "personal" youtube channels (Marble Hornets). Finding encoded messages, getting emails, "intercepting" information and official looking documents is all part of the immersion.

We have a saying in ARGs - TINAG! (This is not a game) It is a nod to how important immersion is, so don't refer to the game as a game when playing... you guessed it, the game. If you need to discuss things outside of that, you would use OOG (Out of game, usually for questions or clarity).

BUT - I don't know of anyone who has used an ARG either in a nefarious capacity, or in a real capacity designed to appear harmless. The idea of it is pretty terrifying. The fact that it hasn't been done should be kept in mind.

You mentioned stuff you're not allowed to post on here - without knowing exactly what that is, I'm not sure I can come to a better conclusion. At face value it looks like a pretty interesting story line seemingly mashing up a DARPA-like agency with Enochian magic. All that said, ARGs are meant to deep dive into, decode, even play a role to some extent. I used a LOT of occult symbology in the ARG I created, designs meant to look like legit sigils, scanning old paper and making old documents connecting the occult to WWII... (I'm starting to wonder if maybe someone got their game idea from mine, but who knows) basically I'd take all the creepy taboo stuff people don't know a lot about and loosely form a story with it.

I will say it's odd that I can't find them on ARGNet. Usually they release news and rumors on current ARGs.

For those of you unfamiliar with ARGs, give this site a quick visit. You'll get that same "covert" up to no good corporation vibe too.

Just to be safe, I'm going to obsess over this for a few weeks
