" H.P. Lovecraft’s Most Sinister Entity" Lovecraft didn't create the character and only briefly mentioned Hastur in one story where he didn't expand on the lore at all. Calling Hastur Lovecraft's most sinister entity is kind of an insult to Chambers.
Weirdly, I once did a form of meditation. Where you sit in a perfectly quiet room. Don't move, don't think about anything. Absolute stillness. After the first minute or so, in my mind's eye appeared this perfectly pitch black figure in a completely yellow room. It gave me shivers all over my body, and I was afraid to death. And over time, I saw that figure in my mind occasionally. Until about 4 or so months ago, it just stopped. Now I see this video and had to watch it because of it.
The society into which you were born and imprinted is the actual mental prison through which your sense of self or "I-ness" forms. In order to transcend and break free, one must first descend into the pits of eldritch horror, and this is what the King in Yellow is all about. Great video!
Such are the methods of those who seek true gnosis and not control. We only aim to leave samsara, and bring anyone with us who cares to join of their own free will 🙏🏻📿
My take: perhaps he simply represents the the horror of facing ourselves as we truly are; we all must wear a mask, even to ourselves. "I wear no mask" ....this may lead to madness. The madness of self knowledge. Have you seen the sign? ❤
Glad to see those Elden Ring images woven into the featured artwork. The lore of Frenzied Flame and its "yelough" madness are unmistakably tied to the Hastur mythos.
Very good! I've finally found a copy of Chamber's "The King in Yellow." Now I hesitate to read it! Basically, I don't think Hastur is evil, but Hastur is incomprehensible. Our minds can't process the reality, if you can call it that, around Hastur. Hastur's environment isn't meant for humans. It's always been human nature to interpret that which can harm us as evil. For instance, black widow spiders are not evil, but we interpret them as agents of evil because their venom can hurt or kill us.
So much wrong with this title. Hastur started with Bierce depicted as a benign deity then Chambers used the name in his King in Yellow cycle, Lovecraft did not invent him. Hastur is not The King in Yellow. AI generated nonsense. Yes I know the video mentions Bierce and Chambers but it’s full of crap.
I once saw a post on Reddit or something where this guy kept asking how he could find a copy of the play because he had loomed everywhere and couldn't find it. 😂 It was pretty funny, all of the people were telling him, dude... It's a fictional play😂
I call this "the concept of chaos", a primordial knowledge/truth that we just don't have the capacity to absorb, and it just destroys us. I like how this is shown in the movie Birdcage.

Hastur is mentioned on another story by Bierce or by Machen - a contemporary of Chambers - where it´s a god of sheepherds at "Haita the Sheepherd" though this is a story without any mention of Carcossa in all, but the Hyades do appear. (They also are into another rather scary and confusing bloodthirsting story of Bierce on The Death of Halpin Frayser about some sort of maniatic homicidal supernatural possesion.) It seems Chambers did a great work putting all together all the spread crumbles about something worthy to write on.
I think there is such as thing as some one being able to go through the depths of this knowledge from this king and be able to comprehend it, go through it, and maintain their sanity. In sense it’s almost as if only ‘chosen’ ones have this ability, it reminds me of the dragon born from Skyrim, only dragon born were able to read the elder scroll, others who tried to read it became blind or delved into madness because they didn’t posses what was needed to comprehend it
The truth that hides within the King in Yellow is honestly kind of believable. I mean, humans are basically known for two things, being able to survive EVERYWHERE and finding ways to exploit any systems that are put in place, generally to either enrich themselves or hurt others. So if you actually assume there is a promised afterlife, how long do you think it's going to take the sum total of ALL humans that have died up until this point (or at least a significant chunk of them) to exploit that system until it breaks so badly that it can no longer be repaired? That's just human nature, paradise no longer exists and it's probably us who broke it. So if you snuff it, have fun walking the bleak eternities.
OK, I'm confused. Your title says that it's 'H.P. Lovecraft's most sinister entity', but in the video you clearly say that it was written by Robert Chambers. I mean, I get that Lovecraft was influenced by it, but it's not his. So, what am I missing?
"An Inhabitant of Carcosa" was published by Ambrose Bierce on Christmas Day, 1886...but no mention of Hastur or The KiY. Bierce also published "Haita the Shepherd" where Hastur was first mentioned. So yeah, neither own him. He belongs to Ambrose MFin' Bierce.
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing. A side note, the captions get well ahead of the narrator. This made it much more difficult to understand the presentation.
Love how you described this. Traumatized can take on lovecraftian horrors.... only because they are mentally ill....and their psyche is already fractured?
🤨 _The King in Yellow_ 's theme of the fragility of self seems to draw a rough parallel to the "ego death" achieved when in the throes of ancient, psilocybin-driven rituals. 💀 😶🌫️

Long ago, in the old age, there long before the 7 was one sage. In the dream of a mad men madness is the cure master the chaos by letting it flow all of the thoughts, the logic the law, the morals, the kingdoms rise and fall let go everything is nothing, there is no reality there is only the flow dark and light life and death all is one, long ago they came to craft tools, but the tools started to feel lust, from lust came potential and chaos was born great was the sage and he gave us the fire to see he said take my gift and I set you free he ruled as a friend and lust was his law he ruled and declared love and wisdom is law he told us to craft a world of paradise and in madness we crafted masks and circles of voices but we travel on earth, the red death was in the sky, the king in yellow told us to choose between ant and fly, so the ants went to hide in Agartha you see with chaos and despair in the realms of the free while flys went to eat dirt and obey the lies but 7 sages came and told us how things should be they took flesh and killed illusion to set us free. The king was gone a mirror of the madness in fire a mirror of the fight against fear in desire from fire came fire for fear and love kept fighting but the kingdom was lost in the waves of despair the waves of hope try to create a queendom today see the dark age is ending the fire is ready to eat but the throne is waiting Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa. There they used to craft the tools of Ayden, Strange is the night where black stars rise, And strange moons circle through the skies But stranger still is Lost Carcosa. Experiment we are humans but we are madness born from the mystery his story and her story Songs that the Hyades shall sing, Where flap the tatters of the King, who would dare to rival the gods ? But the 12 now rule. The wise and the fool the spirits haven woven a way

I would say he's less a symbol of cosmic decay, and more a symbol of ideological and epistemological decay... which is scary for sure, but like with any trickster figure, often necessary for deconstructing harmful worldviews
To find yourself as an unwitting subject in The Court of Carcossa, to have audience with Hastur and his kingdom is be Embraced in Erosive Eternal Echoing Entropy.
See also how the Man in the Yellow Hat took Curious George from the innocence and ignorance of the jungle and brought him into the chaos and corruption of The City. Or something like that.
There's a few good Readings of Robert W. Chambers The King in Yellow on RUclips. Horrorbabble probably is my favorite of them. The book starts with supernatural horror of the book which drives you mad. Prophets Paradise is like the delirium of waking from a dream. Then it transfers to the very real horrors of wartime Paris, and ends on the joys of a romantic peacetime France.
On Bierce story, there is a mention on the Hyades, a group of stars important later on the myth of Hastur, and the name "Hali" though here seems to be a kinda of Islamic-like prophet than a lake nearby Carcossa as it later on showns to be. The ruins of Carcossa seems to be pointing on Carcassone in France, and the spirit of its inhabitant actually has an Arabic-like name and therefore seems to be hinting on an alternative history about Carcassone overtime as if the Arabs did consolidate their domain in Southern France when they expanded a while too before being repelled by Charles Martell, and Carcassone/Carcossa was part of their domain there.
Gotta say HP’s insistqnce on describing how incomprehensible things cause madness - never resonated with me. Cause we are aware of incomprehensible things such as the infinity of our universe, black holes, quantum theory, infinite parallell universes etc and we can handle it
The "incomprehensibleness" is meant to play on fear of the unknown - because once a thing is known, it can be understood, and things that are understandable are less horrifying. This is why all Lovecraftian horror only alludes to "things unknowable" to play upon the reader's own fears. It's a literary trick.
Gotta say, love the video, narration is amazing. But the bass (whump whump whump) in the background makes this almost unwatchable. Maybe it's just my mesophonia, but its literally making me nauseous, and I keep having to stop the video and come back to try to finish it.
It's Jung's Shadow in Self-Inquiry realizing we're all One. 1x1=1. Nothing better nor worse than anything else. Everything Perfect - Aware that we view ourselves as object from Awareness as The Holy Spirit, not a physical body. But through the human body's senses, mind, and feelings. Known to us, as a human body. The mistake of the intellect can pull us from our nature. ONE... Knowing itself as MANY. Awereness, whole and complete, pure and perfect, common, ordinary, everyday Awareness. We're all the same Knowing Ourself as Awareness. You all realize this don't you? There is no horror
What a worthless misinforming video, do yourselves all a favor and read all of these stories yourselves. Theyre absolutely wonderful reads, this particular era of literature was absolutely exploding with creativity.
Here’s some existential dread you only see in 2D our brains take two separate upside down images turn them around and create a 3D image… now there is space to question our very perception of reality…

Long ago, in the old age,
there long before the 7 was one sage. In the dream of a mad men madness is the cure master the chaos by letting it flow
all of the thoughts, the logic the law, the morals, the kingdoms rise and fall let go
everything is nothing, there is no reality there is only the flow
dark and light life and death all is one,
long ago they came to craft tools, but the tools started to feel lust,
from lust came potential and chaos was born
great was the sage and he gave us the fire to see
he said take my gift and I set you free
he ruled as a friend and lust was his law
he ruled and declared love and wisdom is law
he told us to craft a world of paradise
and in madness we crafted masks and circles of voices
but we travel on earth, the red death was in the sky, the king in yellow
told us to choose between ant and fly,
so the ants went to hide in Agartha you see
with chaos and despair in the realms of the free
while flys went to eat dirt and obey the lies
but 7 sages came and told us how things should be
they took flesh and killed illusion to set us free.
The king was gone a mirror of the madness in fire
a mirror of the fight against fear in desire
from fire came fire
for fear and love kept fighting
but the kingdom was lost in the waves of despair
the waves of hope try to create a queendom today
see the dark age is ending
the fire is ready to eat
but the throne is waiting
Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.
There they used to craft the tools of Ayden,
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Experiment we are
humans
but we are madness born from the mystery his story and her story

Hastur sounds no more threatening to my sense of self than the half dozen failed acid trips i took 20 years ago.
Very repetitive. Feels like an AI narrating
I've heard way worse that be the case. It has that old timey BBC radio presenter polite but blunt narration which works.
Nah I agree
He just repeats "the story that distorts reality and makes you go insane" in 30 different forms
Absolutely. Written, narrated, and edited by AI.

*Q* How does one explain his coming face to face with something that is unexplainable?
*A* By telling a story.
Yes, but what does this have to do with Lovecraft?
Not Lovecraft's.
If the Great Old Ones and the gods are the ultimate reality of the universe, doesn't reality come into focus when Hastur is about?
Gotta say, love the video, narration is amazing. But the bass (whump whump whump) in the background makes this almost unwatchable. Maybe it's just my mesophonia, but its literally making me nauseous, and I keep having to stop the video and come back to try to finish it.
Pssssst! Marika is Radagon!
This is what the show From is about.
It is said the the king in yellow is another incarnation of Nyarlatotep.
I didn't know Perra Gaming does this type of video also.. 😂
Had to listen to this in 2x speed
It's Jung's Shadow in Self-Inquiry realizing we're all One. 1x1=1. Nothing better nor worse than anything else. Everything Perfect - Aware that we view ourselves as object from Awareness as The Holy Spirit, not a physical body. But through the human body's senses, mind, and feelings. Known to us, as a human body. The mistake of the intellect can pull us from our nature. ONE...
Knowing itself as MANY.
Awereness, whole and complete, pure and perfect, common, ordinary, everyday Awareness.
We're all the same Knowing Ourself as Awareness. You all realize this don't you? There is no horror
Long Live the Ancient Dreams!
Something like that
Carcosa is a great band from Canada
the king in yellow the queen in red
All praise.....he's found the awful truth....😊
The child in orange,combo of colors
@hadesnillahazredt4942 and his name is "balthazar"....!!
I always thought that Carcosa was supposed to be Heaven, and that the King in Yellow was God 🤔
What a worthless misinforming video, do yourselves all a favor and read all of these stories yourselves. Theyre absolutely wonderful reads, this particular era of literature was absolutely exploding with creativity.
Here’s some existential dread you only see in 2D our brains take two separate upside down images turn them around and create a 3D image… now there is space to question our very perception of reality…
I understand the play🗿
Constantine Valdor is my king in yellow. He’d make short work of hastur
Hawk tua - cosmic horror
do Violence and the Sacred or things hidden since the foundation of the world!
Fromsoft: madness in yellow ✍️🏼
Wasn't Hastur a creation of Chambers?
