"Our home is - here!" A burst of wild, high laughter accompanied the words. It was like a whistling wind. The wind had risen, and clouds obscured the moon. "A little higher - where we cannot hear the wicked church bells."
- Algernon Blackwood, "The Glamour of the Snow"

Lovecraftian inspirations from the real life and beliefs (much, much extended version of the previous article).
Download: adeptus7.itch.io/lovecraftian-inspirations-from-real-life-and-beliefs
This free brochure (28 pages)contains inspiration drawn from the beliefs of peoples who actually inhabit the Earth now or in the past, or from facts taken straight from history or science. Each case includes the suggestion, how given beliefs or facts can be interpreted in the spirit of cosmic horror, emphasizing their appropriate elements or bending them slightly. Sometimes the descriptions are quite brief – a detailed discussion of each topic would take a lot of space and time. These are rather teasers intended to show why a specific thing may be interesting for fans of eldritch vibes and possibly encourage them to take a closer look at the topic.
The article is intended primarily for Game Masters who play games in systems inspired by Lovecraft’s works, such as Call of Cthulhu or Delta Green. However, I hope that other fans of cosmic horror will also find something for themselves here. The interesting facts presented here may also be interesting for people who are not familiar with the work of The Loner of Providence, but some of the references may be unclear to them.
Here are contents:
GREEK MYTHOLOGY
Typhon – a classic but forgotten abomination
Zeus – embodied energy
In his house underground, dead Hades waits in sleep
Apollo – beautiful, deadly light
Hermes is the gate, Hermes is the key
NORDIC MYTHOLOGY
A jotun is not the same as a giant, but it can be made into an abomination
Odyn = Nodens, Loki = Nyarlathotep
Or is Odin an abomination?
Einherjers and Odin the human
POLISH FOLKLORE AND LEGENDS
Jan Twardowski – the first man on the Moon
Silen night, starry night
Church in Trzęsacz – Deep ones do not leave their own, even after death
TRUE (OK, SLIGHTLY FAR-FETCHED) HISTORY
Invasion of the Sea Peoples
Greater Germanic Antarctica
The emperor out of the time
The Indus civilization
TRUE (SERIOUSLY) SCIENCE
Mad mathematicians
Humans like ants, ants like zombies
Halny and other foehn winds – the whisper of the wind brings madness
ABRAHAMIC BELIEFS
Covenant with God and Melchizedek
Succubi/incubi, aliens and a sorcerer-pope
Double faith
Stone from the sky, genies and angels

Cosmic horror but make it funny
In my latest post, I reflect on the kinds of stories I most like to read, and maybe should write as I seem to be running out of them.
CAMILLA: You, sir, should unmask.
STRANGER: Indeed?
CASSILDA: Indeed, it's time. We have all laid aside disguise but you.
STRANGER: I wear no mask.
CAMILLA (terrified, aside to Cassilda): No mask? No mask!
- Robert W. Chambers, "The King in Yellow"

Continued thread
Next is "Cosmic Horror at the Strip Mall Parking Lot." It's about a guy who takes a bunch of acid, realized he needs a lighter and heads out to the convenience store hoping to get it before the drugs kick in... instead, as he walks up, he's assailed by a cosmic horror unfurling its eldritch tendrils in the parking lot, among the cigarette butts and discarded scratch-offs -- a situation we've all experienced too often!

HISTORY OF THE OCCULT was fucking awesome. Many favorite things, done in an innovative & imaginative way- w a truly satisfying conclusion in the best/worst way that keeps you thinking once it's over. Highly recommend if you want to watch a thoughtful, well made cosmic political horror film (you do!)

Got my Special Edition Blu-ray of THE BORDERLANDS (AKA FINAL PRAYER in the U.S.) from Second Sight Films and it is GORGEOUS. It comes with 6 art cards and a 70 page book with a bunch of essays about the film.

It's Gemma Files' birthday and she is my favorite of my Unholy Trinity of Cosmic Horror Writers. (The other two are Langan & Barron, btw. I still have to check out Evenson, and Ligotti is great but a tad too depressing 
)
Give her a birthday gift (and do yourself a huge favor) by picking up ANY of these fantastic, dark books that will linger in your mind and fester.
