Lovecraft doveva essere un esperto stregone ed un perfetto iniziato,
si svela qui, scoraggiando il lettore incauto dal tentare simili, e
pericolosissimi, esperimenti, il mistero legato alle Dreamlands ed ai
Satiri danzanti al ritmo di folli melodie sopra l'Altipiano di Leng:
" Dr. Peuckert wished for confirmation of his results, if any; so he
obtained the cooperation of a friend of his, a solicitor who knew
nothing about witchcraft or the supposed effects of the witches'
salve, or Unguentum Sabbati as it is sometimes called.
On the night of the experiment, Dr. Peuckert and his friend retired to
a private room, and applied the unguent to their bodies according to
Porta's directions. They fell into a deep sleep wich lasted for twenty
hours, and they ultimately awoke with very similar symptoms to those
described in the account of Abramelin the Jew, given above; symptoms
resembling those of a bad hangover.
However, Dr. Peuckert and his colleague forced themselves, in the
interests of science, to write down an immediate account of what they
had each experienced, before discussing it or comparing notes. The
result was fantastic beyond the doctor's expectations.
Not only had each man had wild dreams of all the legendary
phantasmagoria of the Sabbat; but the dream-experiences of each had
been virtually the same. So strange, weird and erotic were the visions
that Dr. Peuckert has been understandably reticent in publishing
details. He dreamed of flying through the air, of landing on a
mountain-top, and of wild orgiastic rites and the appearance of
monsters and demons.
The account of his colleague in the experiment tallied with his own in
so many particulars, that Dr. pecukert suggests this to be, in fact,
the narcotic action of the salve, which automatically induces this
kind of vision. Alternatively, it has been suggested that the salve
acts by stirring up some particular racial memory, lying deeply buried
in the unconscious mind. But memory of what?
It would seem, following the latter theory, that something from the
collective unconscious is involved; a field in which the work of Carl
Gustav Jung may be relevantly studied, some of his discoveries being
in their way quite as strange and thought-provoking as this. "

Interessante...leggete il Libro di Enoch.
A tal proposito, riporto qui il frutto di una piccola mia ricerca, e
cioé alcuni Sigilli di Dèmoni del Lemegeton che, tra un simbolo
fallico e l'altro, hanno effettivamente la forma di astronavi
( sottolineando che un paio di navi spaziali di Guerre Stellari, tra
cui il Millenium Falcon, furono ricostruite da George Lucas basandosi
su geroglifici presenti all'interno delle Piramidi di Giza ):
n.3 Vassago
n.4 Gamigin
n 25 Glasya Labolas
n. 30 Forneus
n. 38 Halpahs
n. 40 Raum
n. 44 Shax ( Una via di mezzo tra un'astronave e un simbolo fallico )
n.45 Vinea ( Un disco volante rovesciato )
n. 56 Gemory
n. 62 Valac
n. 67 Amduscias
n. 68 Belial
Questi sono i più evidenti, alcuni pochi altri possono essere visti
come tali con uno slancio di fantasia.
Quali sono gli altri misteri custoditi negli antichi Grimori? Quanti
sono andati definitivamente distrutti con le persecuzioni delle
Streghe? Perché i vescovi cristiani distrussero sistematicamente ogni
traccia delle culture mesoamericane? Quali segreti avrebbe rivelato al
mondo la loro scoperta?
