H.P. Lovecraft

 

Q. Hi Lynn, this is a suggestion for a blog reading. It is about the American writer of horror fiction H. P. Lovecraft, who is known for his creation of what became the Cthulhu Mythos. His novels and the role-playing games derived from his literature (even video games, movies, etc.) have been popular at least since 1980. He spoke about forbidden, dark, esoterically veiled knowledge, about non-human influences on humanity (even the civilization under threat) and religion and superstition.

Where did he get the inspiration for his work? Did he have external (ET?) influences? I think he was very conscious about the dark energies or the dark side of the human mind. And why it is so popular nowadays? I mean H. P. Lovecraft and this kind of horror stories in general. I guess we are attracted to this novels, games, etc. because we feel there are many real and dark things that we don't fully understand yet (phobias, dark entities, mind control, telepathic powers, secret societies). Thank you.

A. When I first focus on H.P. I see a very reserved, somewhat awkward man that is very inward thinking. If he were in a public situation, he would be very observant of people, their mannerisms and pay attention to the various conversations. I see this would apply to events, or even something as simple as running to a corner store. He looks to notice everything about people, and especially payed attention to their stories.

He also seems to be very quiet, and his mind is always taking things in. When he had time alone, he would reflect and ponder various things. He seems philosophical, and very interested in alternative ideas. Things pertaining to the supernatural or metaphysical are some of his greatest interests.

I get that he would think a great deal about a topic before ever beginning to put a story on paper. An idea could peculate for several days, or several weeks. In many ways this was like a constant meditation that evolved into inspirational ideas.

I also get that a form of the Law of Attraction was always at play with him also. As he would think, and at times obsess about an idea, he would draw things onto himself. It could be something dark and heavy, or even lead him to a group of people that either practiced or had knowledge of the darker arts (which did fascinate him). It was as if the more he didn't understand, the more curious he was, and in turn his curiosity would eventually be answered in one way or another (people, a story, event, experience). He even started to lucid dream, and interact with some of the darker energies. Oddly he didn't fear them, but rather used these experiences to create story lines and plots.

I'm not sure the right words to use, but H.P. feels like a very interesting individual. He himself feels harmless, but most definitely had a darker side, and would often draw heavy energy (not sure I'd want to be in his company).

And that is all I have for this reading. Thank you. Love and light, Lynn

a lot of horror movies from the 60s and 70s were also based on Lovecraft so he's been in the popular Sphere for a while. The attraction of horror movies is that it is the only genre that explores deeper Realms of the psyche and alternate reality, where we can now see vampires of old were the adrenochrome junkies of their day. I like Lovecraft's drawing and if you do a Google image search the sculptor you'll see the sculpture was based on and what looks like an ancient sculpture artifact that might have inspired it.

@Robert: Interesting take on the a-chrome, very true. Thanks for the curious tip. I'll have to check it out.
