An anonymous book appeared in a limited run and was later digitized and put on the internet, that goes into some detail on the relationship between Lovecraft's fictional Old Ones and their correspondences with the Dukes of Edom, da'ath, etc. "Blind idiot god" is straight out of gnosticism, Ialdaboath; Lovecraft plays with the concept. It mentions the witches' "Man in Black" as well, who appears in Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch-House. It's all an interesting coincidence, if nothing more, that Lovecraft stumbled onto existing traditions possibly unknowingly. He also had several references to the Pillars of Irem, which Idries Shah somewhere talks about as a real Islamic tradition. I guess that's why Robert Anton Wilson called him the "world's most dangerous man" or something like that in the Illuminatus! trilogy.
I hadn't realied T&G was suppressed. Now I'll have to finally read it!
Isn't it true Rhodes found the Smithsonian Institution? I remember reading that, but none of the people involved in exposing the Roundtable seem to latch onto the fact, or at least I haven't noticed. I believe Jim Keith mentions some military vans involved in abductions in Montana with "Smithsonian Institute" written on their sides. More coincidence?
