2 years ago"Nihilistic"? Lovecraft disagreed. Why not simply, "imaginitive"? Poor writers…at the mercy of so many…
And comparison to "The Dark Night of The Soul"? Has he READ IT ?

2 years agowow, this guy seems so humble and chill, really pleasantly surprised. read his book a long time ago, it's part of what sent me on my own eldritch path in the first place. or at least helped with context. really glad to see more positivity and down to earth-ness on the people side of things in this niche, bc WHEW we need more of it!

― H.P. Lovecraft

2 years agoI guess Lovecraft doesn't wander too far from the concept of the Archons and the Demiurge. When I decided to leave orthodoxy and enter into Gnosticism, my kids asked me the difference. I replied that in Gnostic Christianity the bad news was even worse but the good news was even better. And maybe we weren't meant to wander far or understand much but defiantly we press on not necessarily needing those who are above us to love us. We make our own light.

2 years agoScott's "When the Stars are Right" is a brilliant work and highly recommended for anyone who wishes to explore the "spaces between" Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos and the utterly alien beings [Divinities] which reside therein. Hearing the voice and observing the person of Scott actually put to the task of explaining his positions and ideas in such a way says great things about the serious nature of his [this] Work. I'a! I'a! #KeepingItRlyeh #Cthulhuminati #BlackGnosis
