So according to the University, our views of Deism and Pantheism may Co-Exist due to the concept that there is a dimension where The Old Ones exist, and one where they may not. So do we go off Lovecraft's writing alone, and focus in the lore we can find of those beings, or do we involve the entire selection. I hear little to none of beings like Y'gonagnc, Aylith, Yassoggoth, Yig, C'thalpa, Star Mother, etc. Do we go off the multi-possibility concept, or do we consider some of these beings a too far gone?

Seeker, You make a very interesting point. The Cult is based solely on HPL's work and his alone, but cultists are encouraged to find their own beliefs and forge their own views. The vast majority will stay within the realm of HPL's work alone, but I have heard of cultists worshipping the other Lovecraftian Deities. To quote The Bible of Cthulhu "The Cult of Cthulhu is ultimately about YOU." So my dear Seeker, remember that The Cult is based around only Lovecrafts work, but that doesn't stop you from believing what YOU want to. May They Rise -N'ythotep
Personally, I go with entities as described by HPL, as I feel They are more authentic than those added by others, as he is the originator of the Mythos - but I stress, this is entirely a personal view! If Y'golon'ac, Yig, or Tsathoggua, for example, resonate with you, then, by all means, work with Them! It is all about you, and what works best for you.
Best wishes, and
May They Rise!
