FWIW,
Rene Guenon in Le Roi du Monde conflates the Grail and Satan's third eye. He says tradition has it that the bowl used at the Last Supper was carved from a black meteor reputed to have fallen from Satan's third eye, and associates it with the Kaaba (cube) in Mecca.
(the English translation of this book, long in the public domain, was published in the UK in 1974, then disappeared for a few decades to be republished by an American enterprise that changed the title from Lord of the World to King of the World and slapped a copyright on it.)
Coincidentally, one of the American explorers of Perry Land in Greenland made it a point to steal a meteor the Inuit had possessed for centuries, which is now in some museum in New York.
Also, the Tunguska (Tungus) event was said by some witnesses to have begun as a black sphere moving across the sky. Coincidentally and concurrently Nikola Tesla claimed to have discovered the secret of manufacturing ball lightning, and told a confidant that certain species were highly explosive/implosive, and could be used as a new kind of weapon.
Further, the Simon Necronomicon contains a section about an acolyte stumbling upon an ancient rite in which a large black stone levitates. The Simon edition is a continuation of the fictional sources Lovecraft cites, a project to make the possibility of the Necronomicon's existence more plausible to keep the joke going, drawing on Crowley, Sumerian, Akkadian/Babylonian, Yezidi and Mandaean sources. One source Lovecraft cites among the fictional works and scholars is not fictional: Wormius. Wormius is the Latin name of Wormskiold or Wormskold, a Norwegian (or Danish?) scholar who wrote about the lost Norse colonies in Greenland, among other things. As far as I know the only Lovecraft story to mention Greenland is The Call of Cthulhu, and then only in passing, something about degenerate Satanic angekut mesmerizing a strange band of Eskimo living high up on the icecap.
The Priory of Sion and related hoaxes were perpetrated from what I understand by depositing spurious folios in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, also a favorite of Lovecraft.
If you're interested in Vril and Nazi occultism, the following sites have some interesting primary sources:
