[@Punished Homura]
I do indeed Homura! Without his works, along with those of Crowley, Howard, Smith, and a more recent Donald Tyson and Alan Moore, I wouldn't have the outlook I do now. The idea of our small place in the universe, and the vastness of the cosmos is frightening, yes. But, we should look to ourselves for all we have accomplished in such a short time. As humans it is impossible to truly look at ourselves objectively, but looking at the universe in such a way in relation to our opinion of our own species can be rather liberating and awe inspiring. It's like knowing the need for spiders and perhaps respecting them for all they do, yet we still have a general dislike of them because they can be so horrifying. To know humanity objectively is to no longer be human in any sense other than physical, and that truly would be a monstrous thing. I will accept my humanity, the weakness and the power that comes with it, and look to be part of something grander through worship and works under these great beings. The names Lovecraft and his circle gave are most likely not the proper ones for such entities but it will suffice. I doubt they exist purely in the manner which they are described, rather they represent concepts and ideas of the universe as we know it and cannot possibly hope to understand it. Then you have more human entities who may be entirely the result of our own collective subconscious and worship, who while not quite as terrifying and powerful, should be treated with some respect. Daemons are after all here to teach us, but take what they say with a grain of salt.
