The Turas faith or Turasism is a religion or belief system founded by Turas Duine Noafo (1926 - 9th January 2001), also known as Venerable Turas. It claims 4000 members worldwide.
Beliefs
The Turas faith promotes peace and helping the 'homeless and needy'. The basic tenets of their faith are best described in this quote:
"Disciples of the Turas faith are messengers of peace and do not wish any harm upon anyone. We strive together for world peace and the coming together of nations through the power of our minds and collective consciousness. We also strive for inner peace through deep meditation. We also strive to be truthful, sincere and genuine in all that we do. Most of all, every person on this earth is equal and should be treated as such". - Ven. Turas
They also many follow a mystic and esoteric path, evidenced by such as the belief in a collective consciousness and aphorisms used as tools in meditation.
"All that we see can and should be used as a tool in our development, and as a vehicle to our ultimate connection to the collective consciousness and single-mindedness.
This, in it's innate beauty, is both knowing our separate selves and the ultimate oneness. This is also the deepest communication with oneself, which facilitates the inner knowing of our true selves. This is the immediate guidance to that which is neither known nor perceived, but at the same time is the ultimate knowledge and perception, due to seeing through a new lens." - Ven. Turas
Meditation & Study groups
The Turas Foundation International, a non-profit umbrella group for the Turas faith worldwide runs meditation and study groups in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia and Germany.

Maxime Lachaud is a french writer and journalist from the Gothic Movement
Biography
Maxime Lachaud, also known as Max Lachaud, is a French journalist and writer. Since the early 2000s, he is know as a reference scholar in the field of Southern Gothic, arts and literature from the South of the United States. He is the author of the book « Harry Crews: un maître du grotesque » (K-Inite, 2007), first French complete study of the strange and tragi-comic world of this major figure of the literary South. He has also written and made conferences on such names of the American South such as Flannery O'Connor, Cormac McCarthy, Tobe Hooper, Herschell Gordon Lewis, James Dickey, Joe R. Lansdale, John Clarence Laughlin and many others.
He is also known for his very active work in the field of underground musics and arts. He started in 2000/2002 by writing for the French fanzine Abus Dangereux, before creating his own in 2002 with Douche Froide. This review accompanied with a CD, then became a radio show in 2004. With Douche Froide, Maxime Lachaud worked on different projects such as the CD/Book « Aux Limites du Son » revolving around the French literary and iconoclast group of the eighties, Limite, which revolutionized the world of science-fiction in France.
But he is mainly known for his hundreds and hundreds of interviews for different medias such as the channel OC-TV, the radio channel Canal Sud and for many books, webzines and magazines, such as Obskure or the arty Timeless and Numéro Zéro among many others. This journalistic work in the field of photography, plastic arts, graphic arts, music, literature or cinema, has made him one of the most well-known author in the field of Neo-Gothic culture, thanks also to books such as « Carnets Noirs II », « The Remains of the Gothic » or « Obskure Opus 1 ». His work with Douche Froide led him also to be known as an interviewer attracted to certain music styles: industrial, avant-garde, minimalist, experimental, cold-wave, neofolk, ritual and repetitive musics.
