H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Some people don't need to trip for this.
A wise man stood at the edge of a river in the town he'd lived all his life. Day after day monks gathered along the bank meditating, praying, citing ancient incantations and performing sacred rituals. The wise man asked the monks why they were dedicating their their entire lives repeating these things day after day. On of the elder monks says, "we learning how to walk on water to cross the mighty river." The wise man says, "but the fairy is only a nickel."
Very wise. He spent his nights with the fairy by the river.
And they always did shrooms during their fabulous nights of passion.
