Legend of the Elder Saboth

Prof. Alexander Chaupin said that his therapist could not refute the arcana behind the Legend of the Elder Saboth. [RB Grinning 54]

It appears that "Saboth" is an alternate spelling for the Hebrew word "sabaoth," meaning "hosts." A correspondent, Eric Friedman, has investigated what Jewish legends involving hosts could possibly correspond to the Legend of the Elder Saboth. He hit upon "a real Jewish tradition concerning the fallen angels; how they corrupted the Earth, necessitating the Flood (Genesis; Ch. 6)... the oldest known source for the legend is the Book of Enoch..." The relevant verses from Genesis Ch. 6 are

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. [King James Version]

The Book of Enoch is "an ancient Hebrew apocalyptic religious text, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah." [Book of Enoch, Wikipedia] Most denominations of Judaism and Christianity do not accept it as scripture. The Book of Enoch is in itself divided into several books. The first of these, the Book of Watchers, Chapters 6-10, describes how human women bore children of fallen angels, and these children were giants. "And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. . . And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjaza taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, 'Armaros the resolving of enchantments, Baraqijal (taught) astrology, Kokabel the constellations, Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of the earth, Shamsiel the signs of the sun, and Sariel the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . . ." Some of the non-fallen angels observed the situation and went to complain to the Most High, who decided to send a flood to destroy mankind. [Book 1: Watchers, AncientTexts.org, retreived 2/12/2021]

If you interpret the Legend of the Elder Saboth as a reference to this episode, then presumably Prof. Alexander Chaupin would have interpreted the fallen angels as aliens, from other stars or other dimensions, perhaps similar to Yog-Sothoth, who begat offspring on Lavinia Whateley [Dunwich (online text)], or the Deep Ones who interbred with the people of Polynesia and Innsmouth [HPL Innsmouth (online text)].

John Merritt saw a copy of Geber's Liber Investigationis in Joseph Curwen's library. [HPL Case (online text) 121]

This is apparently a reference to De investigatione perfectionis ("On the Investigation of Perfection") by pseudo-Geber. "Being the clearest expression of alchemical theory and laboratory directions available until then—in a field where mysticism, secrecy, and obscurity were the usual rule—Pseudo-Geber's books were widely read and influential among European alchemists." [Pseudo-Geber, Wikipedia.] A copy in Latin is at the Internet Archive.

Liber Revelationum de Insidia et Versutiis Daemonum Adversus Homines

A book of demonology by the 13th century Abbot Richalmus (Richalm von Schöntal or Schönthal), which was not printed until much later; Wikipedia says the 16th century, but Paul Brians says it was "first printed by Bernard Pez in his Thesaurus Anecdotorum Novisisimus (Wittenberg?: Philippi, Martini & Joannis Veith, 1721-29), vol. 1, part 2, columns 373-472."

"Richalmus claimed it to be untrue that every person is haunted by one demon only. On the contrary, demons will crowd like a thick wall around any human, and when Richalmus closed his eyes, he would often see tiny demons flying around both himself and others, 'thick as dust in a ray of sun'." [Richalmus, Wikipedia]

Brians says "This crochety monk was obsessed with demons, blaming them for all of the petty irritants that surrounded him. . ." [Satanic Verses Chapter V: A City Visible but Unseen, brians.wsu.edu, Paul Brians, Fall 1998] As an example, Richalmus blamed demons for his difficulties in concentrating while reading: "When I am reading directly from the book and only with the thought, as I usually do, they [the devils] make me read aloud word for word, depriving me of the inner understanding of what I read so that I can penetrate so much less into the inner strength of reading the more I pour myself into the outer language." [Los diablos y la lectura, loquenuncatedigo.blogspot.com, dated 10/13/2007; translated by Google Translate]

According to Phillips Keith, Liber Revelationum includes a spell to raise a draconibus. [RB Hell (online text) 26] However, it seems unlikely that Liber Revelationum would include such a spell, given Richalmus' hatred of demons.

Lovecraft, Howard Phillips

Of Providence.

In a letter, Lovecraft traced his ancestry back through Llunwy of Wales, to Ghoth the Burrower (one of the Little People) and a series of Romans of the Viburnia gens (family), thence to Nyarlathotep, and finally to Azathoth. [HPL Family (online text)]

RB Demon 62; Steeple (online text) 212-213, 216-217, 219, 224, 226-229.

Lovecraft met with the painter Richard Upton in Boston, where Upton showed him something shocking (probably a painting of a ghoul). On October 13, 1926, Lovecraft wrote to Upton, asking to meet again. Lovecraft may have received a visit from Upton in early December, as Upton returned from Providence to Boston on December 10. Simon Waverly and Albert Keith found Lovecraft's hand-drawn maps of Arkham and of the South Pacific, showing the location of R'lyeh. Lovecraft's occult knowledge may have come from dreams. Simon Waverly speculated the Lovecraft might have begun serious occult research in 1926, after returning to Providence from New York. Project Arkham was founded to investigate the truth behind Lovecraft's stories. In the near future, Lovecraft's writings are suppressed, and Judson Moybridge writes The Fall of Cthulhu to prove that Lovecraft's works were merely fiction. [RB Strange]
