The Illustrated Lovecraftian Qlipphoth

In 1977, H. P. Lovecraft's fictional works were connected to the occult with Kenneth Grant's 1977 book, Nightside of Eden, and the publication of the Simon Necronomicon. Since Yog-Sothoth is often depicted as "a conglomeration of glowing spheres" or orbs of light, this eldritch entity became the basis for the inverted tree of life. The outer gods of Lovecraft's writings have been connected to the spheres, and many of his monsters can be connected to the paths between them.
