Peter Mace had a Latin manuscript of the unexpurgated edition of what is now The Veil Unseen. It may have been the source of some of the spells that Mace recited to resurrect his lost love, Maureen Kennedy. [HC Isle (online text) 149]
"Immanuel Velikovsky (. . . 10 June [O.S. 29 May] 1895 – 17 November 1979) was a Russian, Israeli, and American scholar. . . His books use comparative mythology and ancient literary sources (including the Old Testament) to argue that Earth suffered catastrophic close contacts with other planets (principally Venus and Mars) in ancient history. . . In general, Velikovsky's theories have been ignored or vigorously rejected by the academic community." [Immanuel Velikovsky, Wikipedia]
Velikovsky's theories of "astronauts" from other planets are symbols of the journeyings of the Great Old Ones through space and time. [RB Strange]

"The Visuddhimagga (Pali; English: The Path of Purification), is the 'great treatise' on Buddhist practice and Theravāda Abhidhamma written by Buddhaghosa approximately in the 5th Century in Sri Lanka. It is a manual condensing and systematizing the 5th century understanding and interpretation of the Buddhist path as maintained by the elders of the Mahavihara Monastery in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka." [Visuddhimagga, Wikipedia]
Laban Shrewsbury said the Buddhist Visuddhi-Magga included accounts paralleling those of other ancient texts, about catastrophes caused by the war between the Elder Gods and the Great Old Ones. [AWD Island 181]

Author, Black Cults [HC Isle (online text) 149]. Possibly the same as Hendrick Von Heller, M.D., the mightiest brain in medical circles; the man who understood what other men merely feared. A huge man with bearded face and great thick shoulders. [Hugh B. Cave, "Murgunstrumm," in Murgunstrumm and Others. Chapel Hill, North Carolina: Carcosa, 1977. Thanks to Rick Lai for pointing out this linkage in his article "Notes on 'The Voice of Zarnak'". ]
(1795-1840) A German eccentric who lived curiously and died in a grisly and mysterious fashion. He spent his entire life delving into forbidden subjects. He traveled to all parts of the world, gained entrance to innumerable secret societies, and studied many rare books and manuscripts on the esoteric. He is best known as the author of the infamous Unaussprechlichen Kulten or Nameless Cults, which was first published in Dusseldorf a year before his death. [REH Black (online text) 56-57; HPL Aeons (online text) 271]
At some point in his life, Von Junzt visited Honduras and evidently saw the Temple of the Toad, of which he later wrote in Nameless Cults. [REH Roof (online text) 6]
Six months before his death, Von Junzt returned from a mysterious visit to Mongolia. In the ensuing months, Von Junzt worked unceasingly on a new manuscript. Then Von Junzt was found dead in mysterious circumstances, strangled in his locked and bolted chamber. The marks of taloned fingers were on his throat. The torn pages of his manuscript were scattered about him on the floor of the room. Von Junzt's best friend, the Frenchman Alexis Ladeau, spent a night piecing the manuscript fragments together. After reading what was written, Ladeau burned the pages to ashes and slit his own throat with a razor. [REH Black (online text) 57; Roof (online text) 4]
John Conrad and his friends discussed Von Junzt's theories about the survival of ancient cults such as the Bran cult. Taverel was convinced that Von Junzt was mad. [REH Children (online text)]
Von Junzt's first is given as Friedrich in at least two of HPL's letters. [Selected Letters 1934-1937, ed. August Derleth and James Turner, Sauk City, Wisconsin, Arkham House Publishers, Inc., 1976. See Letter 717, to William Frederick Anger, p. 16; Letter 780, to Robert Bloch, p. 156.]

A decentralized folk religion of Haiti, also known as Vodou, Vodun, or Voudoun. The religion is descended from the faiths of various West African peoples, including the Yoruba and Fon, with some admixture of Roman Catholicism. The religion worships a number of deities or loa with specialized powers, who can be persuaded by elaborate ritual offerings to help the devotees with their problems. The most distinctive feature of the faith is the practice of trance possession, in which some of the devotees are believed to temporarily become vessels for the personalities of their gods. Outsiders to Voodoo often identify it with black magic and devil worship. [Haitian Vodou, Wikipedia 10/25/2020]

CAS Testament (online text): A somewhat aboriginal race, with an ethnic heritage of the darkest and most revolting type. The voormis dwelt in the black Eiglophian Mountains at a full day's journey from Commoriom, and inhabited according to their tribal custom the caves of ferine animals less savage than themselves, which they had slain or otherwise dispossessed. They were generally looked upon as more beast-like than human, because of their excessive hairiness and the vile, ungodly rites and usages to which they were addicted. Knygathin Zhaum was half-voormi and recruited his outlaw band mostly from among the voormis.
CAS Pnom: Sfatlicllp, the granddaughter of Tsathoggua, mated with a voormi and gave birth to Knygathin Zhaum.
