g traditional magical systems such as the qabalah (though obviously, it may provide a useful parallel, the most obvious place to look for guidelines is lovecraft.s fiction itself. from this, we find that for example, in the dunwich horror, lovecraft clearly illustrates that .hilltop rites, associated with stone circles and strange geophysical phenomena, are a key when approaching entities such as yog-sothoth. bringing the great old ones into our dimension requires some form of .gate, which in mythos tales, is often a wild outdoor site, a stone circle, tower, or a similar type of power spot. lovecraft is also careful to point out that such sites have, in historical terms, a long history of strange manifestations associated with them. again and again, he places great emphasis on the folklore

at black wells of acherontic fear or feeling, from what unplumbed gulfs of extra-cosmic consciousness or obscure, long-latent heredity, were those half-articulate thunder-croakings drawn? presently they began to gather renewed force and coherence as they grew in stark, utter, ultimate frenzy 'eh-y-ya-ya-yahaah- e'yayayaaaa. ngh'aaaaa. ngh'aaa. h'yuh. h'yuh. help! help..ff- ff- ff- father! father! yog-sothoth' but that was all. the pallid group in the road, still reeling at the indisputably english syllables that had poured thickly and thunderously down from the frantic vacancy beside that shocking altar-stone, were never to hear such syllables again. instead, they jumped violently at the terrific report which seemed to rend the hills; the deafening, cataclysmic peal whose source, be it inn

mphasize that the actual structure of reality is so fantastic, there is no reason to rely on old fables and old tales to reveal the strangeness and otherness of things. anyone who actually looked into it would find the cosmos unimaginably vast and alien. lovecraft certainly portrayed this as an element of horror. setians experience almost an exaltation in considering this- to us the dimensions of yog-sothoth and the revels of shub-niggurath, these are not things of fear and dread, they are us- this is the field of our play. but to the readership lovecraft was aiming at, they were concepts of repugnance. now i don't have time to get into any depth on how the realm of art was inspired by what lovecraft did. it is a sign of the power of these images, perhaps, that straightaway his corresponde

ed by a rejection of the carnal and an obedience to morality. lovecraft recorded bis aversion to conventional religious dogma in the silver key, and he regarded with a similar scorn those who, rejecting religion, succumbed to a controversial substitute, i.e. the popular notion of witchcraft. the concept of worship per se is strikingly absent from the cthulhu mythos. nyarlathotep, shub- niggurath, yog-sothoth and cthulhu are all honored through bizarre festivals, but their relationship to their followers is invariably that of teacher to students. compare the description of a lovecraftian ceremony to that of a christian mass or a voodoo rite, and it is clear that the element of servility is definitely lacking in the first. lovecraft, like the miltonian satan, chose to reign in hell rather th
