Or Devas and Asuras, the latter being the ancestors of the Aesir.Exactly. If there were such species, I would think they can be reflected upon in reference to the two tribes of Gods, Aesir and Vanir.
You really should actually read it. "Music of Erick Zann", "Colour out of space", "The Mountains of Madness", "Whisperer in Darkness"(<-total satanic story). HP Lovecraft was a brilliant, brilliant, very eccentric and frightened man. Reading his letters its hard to imagine many of his ideas as coming from anything less than a PSYCHEDELICALLY ENORMOUS racism, but I still love the man dearly. My favorite stories are Through the Gates of the Silver Key parts one and two (you have to read Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath first, which is the closest he ever got to Tolkeen). Part two has some genuine wisdom regarding travelling in extradimensional locales.
Erick Zann is one that truly stands out in my mind. He gave us nothing and left us with nothing as to just what the hell is going on! The scribblings of a madman desperate to explain suddenly blown out the window...
The most amusing part is some of Lovecraft's tales were lifted directly from his own dreams.
