"The Comte de Saint Germain (. . . c. 1691 or 1712 – 27 February 1784)[3] was a European adventurer, with an interest in science, alchemy and the arts. He achieved prominence in European high society of the mid 1700s. Prince Charles of Hesse-Kassel considered him to be 'one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived'. St. Germain used a variety of names and titles, an accepted practice amongst royalty and nobility at the time. These include the Marquis de Montferrat, Comte Bellamarre, Chevalier Schoening, Count Weldon, Comte Soltikoff, Graf Tzarogy and Prinz Ragoczy. In order to deflect inquiries as to his origins, he would make far-fetched claims, such as being 500 years old, leading Voltaire to sarcastically dub him 'The Wonderman' and that 'He is a man who does not die, and who knows everything'. His real name is unknown while his birth and background are obscure, but towards the end of his life, he claimed that he was a son of Prince Francis II Rákóczi of Transylvania. . . .
"Myths, legends, and speculations about St. Germain began to be widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and continue today. They include beliefs that he is immortal, the Wandering Jew, an alchemist with the 'Elixir of Life', a Rosicrucian, and that he prophesied the French Revolution. He is said to have met the forger Giuseppe Balsamo (alias Cagliostro) in London and the composer Rameau in Venice. Some groups honor Saint Germain as a supernatural being called an ascended master. Madame Blavatsky and her pupil, Annie Besant, both claimed to have met the count, who was traveling under a different name." [Count of St. Germain, Wikipedia]

A disk-like pattern showing Cthulhu in R'lyeh, surmounted by the astronomical symbol of Aquarius ♒, and circled by the phrase Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn. The design appeared throughout Sylvan Phillips' house. Ada Marsh and Marius Phillips found a great stone slab in sunken R'lyeh that had the same design. Ada and Marius hoped to pry up the slab, which they believed was placed by the Elder Gods (1) to imprison Cthulhu. [AWD Seal (online text)]
Martin Keane said the Seal of R'lyeh is inscribed on thousands of star-stones used to close the prisons of the Ancient Ones (2) [AWD Witches].
There a number of mysteries about this seal. Why did the Elder Gods engrave some star-stones with the Elder Sign (2), and others with the Seal of R'lyeh? If Sylvan Phillips was a descendant of Deep Ones and was seeking Cthulhu, why would he be "proud to emblazon" his house with the badge of Cthulhu's imprisonment? If the Elder Gods inscribed the seal on the slab in R'lyeh, why would they embroider it with a phrase of the Cthulhu cult, one that celebrates Cthulhu's endurance, the fact that he still "waits dreaming"? If the designs in Phillips' house are copies of the slab in R'lyeh, then why is the cult phrase written in our modern alphabet? And if the slab is enchanted by the Elder Gods, then wouldn't it behave like the star-stones and form an impassable barrier that could not be approached by hybrid Deep Ones like Ada and Marius?
We can speculate that the Seal of R'lyeh is a special-purpose symbol, used only on stones that help to imprison Cthulhu; whereas the Elder Sign could be a more general-purpose symbol. On this theory, the image of Cthulhu in R'lyeh on the Seal might be intended as a type of sympathetic magic to prevent him from leaving his prison. It could also serve as a warning to not disturb the portal or the star-stones, as doing so might allow Cthulhu to escape. Sylvan Phillips might have appropriated the symbol because, although it imprisons Cthulhu, it also serves as a reminder that he is still alive down there somewhere, waiting for his devotees to free him. Additionally, Phillips may have added the Ph’nglui mglw’nafh phrase to his version of the Seal. If he did not add the phrase, he at least transliterated it into modern letters. Regarding Ada and Marius, their attempts to open the portal seem to have failed, so it would seem the Seal of R'lyeh was powerful enough to repel their attempts.

By Halpin Chalmers. Apparently one of Chalmer's "recondite books on occult themes". In an excerpt, he speculates about a parallel dimension where another type of life might exist, generated by a force different from the one that generates life in our world. If this force penetrates to our world, it might give rise to new kinds of cell life. Chalmers claims to have seen its manifestations, the Doels. He claims to have seen their maker in dreams, beyond time and matter, moving through strange curves and outrageous angles. He plans to travel back in time and meet their maker face to face. These concepts resemble things that Chalmers later related to Frank while under the influence of the drug Liao. It is possible that The Secret Watcher was based on previous experiments that did not go quite so far. [FBL Hounds (online text)]

A race who lived in spacious caverns beneath Mt. Voormithadreth, Hyperborea. They were scientists of no ordinary attainment. They walked lithely and sinuously erect on pre-mammalian members, their pied and hairless bodies bending with great suppleness. Their language sounded like hissing. They had collected specimens of various species, including Voormis and humans. In the past, they had thoroughly dissected humans and learned all that there was to learn regarding what they considered a very uncouth and aberrant life-form. Their chemistry was devoted almost wholly to the production of powerful toxic agents. They had long abandoned the eating of impure natural foods, and confined themselves to synthetic types of aliment. Upon receiving Ralibar Vooz as a gift from their ally, Haon-Dor, they sent him on to the Cavern of the Archetypes. [CAS Seven (online text)]

It appeared to consist of long excerpts of books in the Miskatonic University Library that Seth Bishop had copied by hand.

"The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses is an 18th- or 19th-century magical text allegedly written by Moses, and passed down as hidden (or lost) books of the Hebrew Bible. Self-described as 'the wonderful arts of the old Hebrews, taken from the Mosaic books of the Kabbalah and the Talmud,' it is actually a grimoire, or text of magical incantations and seals, that purports to instruct the reader in the spells used to create some of the miracles portrayed in the Bible as well as to grant other forms of good fortune and good health. The work contains reputed Talmudic magic names, words, and ideograms, some written in Hebrew and some with letters from the Latin alphabet. It contains 'Seals' or magical drawings accompanied by instructions intended to help the user perform various tasks, from controlling weather or people to contacting the dead or Biblical religious figures." [Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, Wikipedia] The online text is available at the Library of Congress, among other places.
Jefferson Bates found a copy of the notorious Seventh Book of Moses in the house of the late Seth Bishop. Bates described it as "a text much prized by certain oldsters in the Pennsylvania hex country . . . A slender prayer-book in which all the prayers seemed to be mockeries, for all were directed to Asarael and Sathanus, and other dark angels." Bates surmised that it belonged to Seth Bishop's father. It seems that Seth lacked interest in the hex tradition, but was fascinated by more obscure lore, as evidenced by Seth Bishop, His Book. [AWD Valley (online text)]
Amos Stark owned a copy, and said "it’s got a sight more larnin’ in it than any other book I ever seen." It had previously belonged to Nahum Wentworth. Fred Hadley considered it a kind of Bible for hexes, a curious rigmarole of chants and incantations to such “princes” of the nether world as Aziel, Mephistopheles, Marbuel, Barbuel, Aniquel, and others. Some of the incantations were designed to cure illness, others to grant wishes; some were meant for success in undertakings, others for vengeance upon one’s enemies. Hadley foolishly recited the incantation Aila himel adonaij amara Zebaoth cadas yeseraije haralius. (The incantation can be found in the online edition on Sacred-Texts.com; the text says that "These words are terrible, and will assemble devils or spirits, or they will cause the dead to appear.") Later that evening, Wentworth came back from the dead and took vengeance on Amos Stark. [AWD Wentworth]

1. A synonym for the Elder Sign 2 [AWD Lurker]. Septimus Bishop was warned that the Sign can destroy wizards, so they cannot even re-embody themselves by feeding on human blood [AWD Middle].
2. A different sign used by cultists. Seth and Luther asked Ambrose Dewart if he had the Sign. Mrs. Bishop said they were referring to the "other Sign," which they hoped would make them rich and powerful. But Mrs. Bishop said that when Them Outside come back, they won't have any use for those that carry their Sign, unless maybe they are as powerful as "the Master" (Richard Billington). This sign was carved repetitively into the steps and platform of the tower near Billington House, were it appeared as "an intricate pattern of concentric circles and radiating lines, which, the more attentively it was gazed at, offered a perplexing maze to the eye in that it seemed at one moment to be of such an appearance, and in the next appeared to change inexplicably." The same design was used for a stained glass window at Billington House: "rayed concentric circles, with colored panes, all in pastel shades save a few toward the central circle of apparently plain glass," which tricked the eye into perceiving "some kind of movement of the colors themselves, as if they were still running and flowing together."

An unintelligent vagabond, hunter and tapper in the Catskill Mountains who had exotic dreams of being an entity of light in a luminous realm. This light entity was periodically subject to a degrading bondage, such as his birth in the limiting body and mentality of Slater, but temporarily regained its freedom during Slater's dreams. The entity was consumed with the desire for revenge against a being called the "oppressor." Slater used to rave of these dreams after waking from them, and in his excitement after one dream, butchered Peter Slater and was confined to a state psychopathic institution. As Slater lay dying, the Sleep (online text) narrator was able to commune with him telepathically via an electrical device. After Slater's death, the light entity flared up in the night sky as the new star Nova Persei, close to the daemon star Algol, the beacon of the oppressor [HPL Sleep (online text) 26-35].

Born Trenton, N.J. in 1885, son of Paul Slauenwite. Served in France in WWI in a South African regiment. Studied medicine at Columbia University and specialized in African fevers. While in Mombasa, was accused by his friend Henry Sargent Moore of having stolen a major theory from the late Sir Norman Sloane. [HPL Winged (online text) 244]
Moved to M'gonga, learning there of a fatal disease caused by the bite of the local "devil-fly," of which he obtained specimens [244-248]. Created a disguised variant of the species by crossing it with tsetse flies and painting the wings blue [248-250]. Posing as a London entomologist named Neville Wayland-Hall, sent specimens of the infected flies to Moore, claiming that they were harmless and asking for Moore's help identifying them. [251]
Received news of Moore's infection, illness, and eventual death [251-254]. Inferring that he was now suspected of murder, fled to Johannesburg and adopted the name Frederick Nasmyth Mason, a mining properties broker from Toronto [254].
Was harassed in Johannesburg, and later Bloemfontein, by a devil-fly whose behavior suggested that it carried Moore's soul, which was seeking revenge. Died of fright after being bitten by the fly. [254-262] Left a journal about his murder plot and his later downfall [243, 262].
