Yog-Sothoth

(If the last post was as pellucidadj.1 as ichorn.1 then have a look here.)

Of all the gods in the Lovecraft Cosmos pantheon, Yog-Sothoth is paramount, “...an Outer God … coterminous with all time and space yet…supposedly locked outside of the universe we inhabit. Its cosmic nature is hinted at in this passage from “Through the Gates of the Silver Key” (1934) by Lovecraft and E. Hoffmann Price:

It was an All-in-One and One-in-All of limitless being and self — not merely a thing of one Space-Time continuum, but allied to the ultimate animating essence of existence’s whole unbounded sweep — the last, utter sweep which has no confines and which outreaches fancy and mathematics alike. It was perhaps that which certain secret cults of earth have whispered of as YOG-SOTHOTH, and which has been a deity under other names; that which the crustaceans of Yuggoth worship as the Beyond-One, and which the vaporous brains of the spiral nebulae know by an untranslatable Sign...” – Wikipedia entry

Such a deity would be utterly beyond human comprehension and any futile and foolhardy attempt to fathom its sheer enormity can only instigate abject and incurable insanity.

Please therefore exercise the utmost caution before undertaking such a venture.
