Description
This is a purely digital recreation of the last 'Star-Portal' design I created before my art was put into storage. It looks rather empty because it was a work in progress. It was based on a diagram (ye circle of evocation to call forth Yog-Sothoth) in a version of The Necronomicon, edited by George Hay (first published by Corgi in 1978).

While I was trapped in the underworld, I started studying and experimenting with Chaos Magick (specifically the elements of it related to the mythology of H P Lovecraft). This led me to create a number of symbols for ritual and meditation purposes.

The Necronomicon is a book of supernatural secrets that features in the stories of Lovecraft. According to his mythology, its contents were dictated by the Great Old Ones (trans-dimensional beings of immense power). They are not subject to the same natural laws as creature from our universe. For that reason, I have tried to represent their symbols as impossible forms.

Lovecraft was heavily influenced by the same source material as occultists and other fiction authors of that time, specifically the writings of the Russian mystic Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891) and Charles Hoy Fort (1874-1932).

Madame Blavatsky (founder of the Theosophical Society), author of: Isis Unveiled (1st published 1877) and Secret Doctrine (1st published 1888). She popularized the belief in Hyperborea, Lemuria, Atlantis (all lost lands), and the mystical root races of humans (If you have read Lovecraft’s stories, you will probably recognise some of those names). According to her writings, one race dwelt on a lost continent called the Imperishable Sacred Land, located above the North Pole (etheric rather than physical, like its inhabitants). The other root race dwelt in Hyperborea (Arctic).

In 1894, author Frederick Spencer Oliver (1866-?) published his novel ‘A Dweller On Two Planets’, which he claimed to have received telepathically from a Master named Phylos the Tibetan. It included accounts of Lemurian colonies inside Mount Shasta in north California. This launched an entire literature on underground Lemurian survivals, culminating in Richard Shaver’s ‘Dero’ tales of the 1950s.

In 1904, author William Scott-Elliot (1849-1919) published ‘The Lost Lemuria’. In his book, he relocated the mythical continent to the Pacific ocean. Lovecraft described the sunken city R’lyeh (resting place of Cthulhu) as being in the South Pacific.
