Azathoth - The Idiot God That Sleeps - Cthulhu Myths
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- In H.P. Lovecraft's fiction, Azathoth, a cosmic entity of immense power, is described as the "Nuclear Chaos". Considered the blind and idiot god at the center of the universe, his existence is marked by chaotic indifference, personifying the absurdity and insignificance of human existence.

These cosmic musicians that keeps Azathoth asleep are MVPs of Cthulhu universe.
"Facts"
-Kevin Gates
Some heroes don’t wear capes, they play music with their countless mouths and tentacles
Its extra scary when you notice they music is what creates laws of physics in infinite timelines and dimensions 😅
@@berilsevvalbekret772 I now choose to believe that George Lucas did not create Star Wars.
It was actually Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes. They did some moonlighting when Azathoth was extra sleepy.
The cantina song is actually a mimetic hazard.
That's the mother. No, you will not learn this one day.
In the center of reality, a blaring alarm is silenced by the slap of a tentacle on a snooze button. Across all existence, a thunderous mumble racks the minds of creation's mortal residents:"Just five more megaannums..."
💯🤌🏿🤣
I miss Terry. Still haven' t read it all, because... I miss Terry. A huge loss for mankind, a minor loss for the spacelifting technicians somehow...
Perfect 😂
"Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which bubbles and blasphemes at the center of infinity. The far demon sultan azathoth who's name no lips dare speak aloud. He gnaws hungerly in unlighted chambers amidst the muffled beating of drums and the pitched whine of accursed flutes."
Hp lovercraft- the dream quest of unknown kadaff
Other than yogsothoth, azathoth is my favorite being the chief of the outer gods. He is one of the creatures in cosmic horror that inspire my work as an artist and a writer. I'm so happy that hp lovercraft left his concept of cosmic horror open to interpretation. It gives me hope I can pick up the mantle of a cosmic horror writer in my own right.
That is interesting, as a lot of HP touched artists admitted this same thing. Like DMT 😂
OK. Deal, I find myself influenced but never misguided and never cringed by the entities others of my kind created. And he was of my kind. But very different.
And if he were to awaken all of existence shall cease to exist ! For his dreams are our reality !
@@Jamela579 That point always gets misunderstood.
Azathoth: Am I so out of touch?... No. It's the humans who are dumb.
humans: oooc ooc food go in mouth because hungry come out other end oooc. Oooc scratch because itch ooc ooc 🐒
Based
He doesn’t know about us cause he’s asleep
Azathoth: 🤤😴
This implies he is aware or cares-- which he doesn't. Azathoth is simply eepy.
I like to think that Lovecraft invented Azathoth as a counter to all forms of organised religion, not just Christianity but Islam, Buddhism, ancient Greek/Roman, Norse, Cimmerian or any other, where those religions place an entity of higher power as the creator, and that the universe is based on their intelligent design.
I like to think he created Azathoth to take a swing at these faiths, suggesting that there is no intelligent design, that the universe is indifferent, thoughtless and chaotic, and that we are simply trying to place reason into something we do not wish to accept as beyond our scope of understanding.
It was brave for anyone back then to even suggest the universe was anything but intellectual design.
azathoth, nyarlathotep and yog-sothoth are partly meant to be a dark version of the holy trinity
Fun fact: Azathoth doesn't dream reality. Not once in any of Lovecrafts stories does it ever say that Azathoth dreams reality. There is even a story of a time traveler who journeys to future earth where Azathoth is awake and one shots earth the old fashioned way. All the while the gods of mythology are running away in terror.
What's the name of that one? I'd guess it was "The sun is not a star" but that would gimp him. That was a galaxy wide threat but not a universal one.
What story?
Not entirely correct. While it’s not in any of Lovecraft’s stories, his poem, Fungi from Yuggoth, says the laws of each universe are made as a by-product of Azathoth’s sleep and the music keeping him asleep. To quote:
“Things he had dreamed but could not understand,
While near him shapeless bat-things flopped and fluttered
In idiot vortices that ray-streams fanned.
They danced insanely to the high, thin whining
Of a cracked flute clutched in a monstrous paw,
Whence flow the aimless waves whose chance combining
Gives each frail cosmos its eternal law.”
@@Shaderaygunpretty sure this implies the flute players create the laws of the universe, not Azathoth
@@theghostface6748 Azathoth create the universe via their dreams and the flute players dictate the laws of the universe. Basically the reality created would be chaotic and wild due to it's dream nature and the flute players bring order to the chaos and ensure the reality continues.
The true horror is the court demon who decides to change from the flute to the tuba.
😂😂😂
THE IDIOT GOD THAT SLEEPS THE THE TITLE MAKES ME LAUGH SO HARD
His full title is “The Blind Idiot God” he has created an entire universe in his dreams, he’s ignorant of this fact. He’s a constant force in the universe yet he does not comprehend it, nor does he recognize it exists in any ways and when he wakes up he won’t even remember it existed.
@@Broomer52 i all of that already didn’t have to watch the video to even know that and im just laughing at the title
@@SupremeAuthor94OMFG SO FUNNAY LOLOL
@@INFILTR8US because it is funny
keep them " Cthulhu Myths " videos coming please
If I remember correctly, the biggest "secret" of the mythos is that everything is simply the dream of azathoth, and one of the reasons he's considered the blind idiot god is because he is totally unaware of anything in this dream.
It also means that he is the most powerful of the gods as everything including concepts are just fragments of it's imagination.
Narlethotep is one of the most dangerous gods because it seems that it's goal is to wake Azathoth.
The other gods are all aware that the only reason they exist is because Azathoth continues to sleep, and that if he wakes they too will cease to be.
The God of Order.
from what I remember that’s a misconception. The whole reality-dream thing is actually from a completely different god from a completely different mythos. In actuality there is no mention of azathoth ever dreaming reality, he sleeps sure but reality isn’t his dream. He’s still one of the strongest in the mythos.
So, he's the Wind Fish.
I thought Narlethotep is actually keeping his father asleep due to his own self preservation?
Well sorry bro but you are wrong it's yog satoh who is the creator of everything in fact he is the all in one, azothod is not the God but a choas creator and monstrous entity.
0:00 😮 Wow! This is Azathoth from outer space.
0:20 Did other creature just play music surround Azathoth.
0:54 Azathoth was search it alone on space.
1:51 Meet other creature.
3:44 Hey Nyarlathotep appear!
5:45 Are they worship that creature?
6:08 What the!? A woman appear and see all cult members play music with creatures.
7:15 A man search and see ancient legends creature wall.
7:35 He was holding a creature along members of cult.
8:27 A big creature eye see a man appear.
Wow. Now that was quite good music story of Azathoth The Idiot God That Sleeps in Cthulhu Myths history. I gotta love that music to my ears.
You direct, you really have no interest in things allready completly understood? You are an old child my friend, old...
Dafuq?
Powerful imagination had this Lovecraft lad 😂
A lot of them were said to be inspired by his dreams.
@@Fueganthefireyguycreepy
@@uraniancoolery927 He wasn't very stable
@@typerez8132 no I believe in something deeper read polar:journey to the white stone man was on something
@@typerez8132He named his cat, NinjaMan.
i have something new to tell the Jehovahs when they come knocking, we are all here by accident, created in Azathoth`s dreams.
Been there.
Canonically Azathoth isn’t dreaming everything in the universe if you follow Lovecraft only. The dream thing was brought by another author that was inspired by an African god that actually does that
So basically physicists and scientists in general are Azathoth’s cultists. They engage in strange “rituals”, inexplicable for most people. Sometimes they do horribly dangerous things (not really, but many think so) like building a collider.
And description of Azathoth makes him look like a primal nature forces rather than conscious entity.
You must point out that this is just ONE version, but there are many others. Lovecraft himself wrote about a story of the destruction of a higher being than Azathoth, a story wich finally drove Abdul Alhazred insane. There's also a story were Azathoth got punished and locked into the center of the cosmos, sewered from his soul Nyarlathothep and kept leashed through the music.
And then there's the story in wich the gods of order created Azathoth and his kin as slaves to work for them, but the demons broke free and flet to the cosmos we are in.
Cosmic Bacteria 😂
When will they finally reveal Cosmic Fronteria
Do yog sothoth!
Ew, you want to see him do Yog sothoth?
I imagine the pipers endlessly playing the "Titanic" love theme on pan flutes, to keep Azzy simmered down.
Of course this happens when I can' t afford a therapist.
So is this the Void God Azathoth ?
Yep
That's not actually that much of a contrast with many of the oldest polytheistic and animistic religions. A lot of the very oldest myths of humanity DO consider the gods to be amoral beings, placated and appeased with worship rather than asked for favors. This changed as we distanced ourselves from life in the wild, as we built civilization and altered the environment around us to meet our needs. We made our lives less cruel and uncaring, and we changed our gods to reflect that.
Wrong wrong wrong. The Gods never plead for worship but only for respect in a relationship created bettween man and Spirit. You people know very little of religions and Animism.
Azarthoth Metrion Zithos - Raven
Azathoth powers and abilities: omnipotence, omninescience, omnipresence, oneiricpotence, omnimalevolence, discord embodiment, madness embodiment, darkness embodiment, ignorance(oblivion embodiment), chaos embodiment
Azathoth isn't omnipotent, the only god in the mythos that is actually said to be omniscient and omnipotent is yog sothoth. Stop getting your info from wikis and read yourself
So azatoth is the dreamer land scape God
This is what happens when people hear about a character from a book instead of reading the book themselves. Azathoth does NOT dream reality, he didnt even create it, its nowhere in the literature.
He is not an idiot, he is powerful and smart
I don't think Azatoth sleeps anymore, that looks like my ex-wife though she didn't look so kind.
Azathoth sleeps around!
Big yikes dog.
It's a misconception that azothods dream is the reality he does sleep but reality isn't a part of his dream in fact in the mythos it's not even mention that his sleep is the reality the music played is to keep him calm because he is the choas creator
Tolkien must've read Lovecraft because Illuvatar's conception of reality is also rooted in song, albeit an ordered one rather than dissonance.
He never did and it's for the best, he'd have hated it
Peter Jackson did. So did the Tolkien Society.
Tolkien would have hated Lovecraft
@@WildMen4444 Because Lovecraft didn' t feel good for templic lodges?
@@DAlienzombieBecause Lovecraft was a nihilist and that goes contrary to the traditionalist views of Tolkien who was a devout Catholic
This is a good one👍
The scariest fr
the real secret is the KIND of music they use to keep him asleep. its Tejano.
You can see how broken Lovecrafts mind was to produce such an imagination.
Or was he a prophet of kaos?
I'd really love to see more of these.
I challenge you to find a SINGLE line in ANY of Lovecrafts writings that Azathoth dreams reality.
Very good stuff
Nice one
It's honestly amazing, how products of traumatized madman nightmares can enthrall people so. Life has, like, more than enough of madness as is, why seek more?
Could you do a video on the angels known as Chalkydri and the Phoenix from Enochian scriptures?
They are not explainable, is said.
I found a description of them as well as the tasks they would perform. They are quite interesting and unique angels.
I wonder the god of war game would be based on this
Kratos fighting lovecraftian gods
This universe is too much, even for Kratos.
Ok so the biggest problem is that basically every lovecraftian god just immediately causes insanity upon observation. Most of the lower rings of gods like cthulu he could definitely throw around but he'd still have to get past the mind melting effect of just viewing them and that's before we get into the non god monsters like the yith who can just steal his body on a whim. Physically he wins no contest but lovecraftian horrors don't deal with the physical. You can't punch your way out of schizophrenia
@tellg0t090 the lovecraftian gods don't cause insanity if you look at them. This is another made up thing like the whole azathoth dreaming reality stuff.
Those musician better play a good song to make sure that Azathoth stays asleep
The sheer existential dread this thing conveys is something I've loved for years. There is of course the "everything is a simulation." crowd. But what about the "We are merely the dream of an elder and unknowable horror beyond our comprehension, and should he wake, everything ceases to exist." crowd? That is truly horrific in its own way, no?
Edit: spelling mistake.
The Azathoth dreaming reality was actually one guy gaslighting everyone because he thought it would be cool, like Viking throat singing fans
When you have that much power intelligence is just a hindrance
"A being whose true form defies comprehention".
Well, he looks kinda cute in this video...
Azathoth's tears
Thanks for the video
Why is he so relatable though?
He the only one that matters He keeps order in the universe. Only the truly enlightened spiritual beings can understand.
Azathoth is what we see in AI. Creativity without consiousness
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
Leaving my own form of a community note here. The idea of Azathoth dreams all of reality is not a direct reference to HP lovecraft's depiction of Azathoth, but rather, creative reconstructions of the original.
Thank you
The Nuclear Chaos
I hear his music is trending now on TikTok! 😂
Basically, azatoth is the analogy to entropy and the song of slumber, an analogy to the order, one leads to the other and once the music stops, entropy takes place
So like order is an active amd conscious effor, so is the song, becouse takes sentience to realize what order is 🦉
This is too cool
so basically, Azathoth won the idgaf war
I love how the true form of azathoth is the most close to looking human compared to the rest of the lords.
Man, telling Lovecraft's lore through Dugin'$ perspective
This was terrifying to hear about until you read up on Lovecraft’s life and realize Azathoth was just an expression of Lovecraft’s atheism.
P sure i got eaten by that thing in a call of duty game
So the monstrosity with eyes and tentacles is but a reflection of Azathoth’s true form. That little part of it which a sane man can imagine and draw.
And those who keep him asleep are to blame :) If he woke up I bet he would've fixed himself.
Yog Sothoth, All in One literally means he is everything, meaning he is the top dog, not Azatoth, who’s by the way nor sleeping, nor dreaming reality

They are outer gods, not great old ones.
I bet he listens to sleep token
I am worried and czrzt
I'm about to invent the largest, most powerful alarm clock ever created.
To what end dude?

He does not dream reality!
The flutes and drums are not lovecraft
The Great Architect ?
I had an idea that Azathoth was captured by Cthullu and the other gods (they got lucky). The music is a spell that keeps it trapped. But one day, for just 1 second, the music stops and there is silence.
Azathoth awakens and vows vengeance on those that captured them.
The sound of silence.
Sleepyjoe will post a comment about his God and jesus. That came to me in a dream before i was carried away by the night gaunts
I understood that reference! 👆
I wonder how powerful these court demons must be to keep this "idiot god" asleep.
Oh they aren't that powerful, he created them so he could slumber and dream. The real story is he created all of reality, then went into slumber so he could interact with his creation
Azothod isn't the God he is a monstrous entity a choas creator the music is just to keep him calm, it's yog satoh who is the all in one @@godleveleldritchblast5257
Lovecraft's imagination must gave touched madness once or twice
That’s a new trick, for a robot.
Azathoth, more or less, is simply Typhon, Tiamat, or Apep of Ancient Greek, Sumerian and Egyptian myth. In other words the embodiment of Comic Chaos. In some ways this Cosmic Chaos is irrational (idiotic) and while it is the Shadow of what would could be called the “Absolute” it is only ONE SIDE of this Absolute Principle, the other side being of course the opposite of ignorance and chaos, wisdom and harmony. This is obvious when we realize humanity (even though they are just speck in the universe) only have wisdom, ethics and meaning because there is in some sense a larger source from which it is produced and to which it returns. Perhaps all this is a dream of some being or even class of beings and perhaps they are imperfect in their wisdom (idiots) but aren’t we all? That’s the whole point of reality, to grow in wisdom of what life is and who we are.
So basically he doesn’t pay attention to his own creation… makes sense.
Seems like he's pretty smart actually.
WoW lore sure is weird nowadays
3:24 You mean Chaos King Nyarlathotep and God of Space-Time Yog-Sothoth?
They be playing kpop for azathoth
Azathoth cannot destroy the Winslow.
I just heard stolas mention this elderich deity in HB, so I don't know much about him. However, I suppose he is a lesser deity, not as formidable as Cthulu or the source of all evil.
This video was amazing, but in hp lovecraft's story about azathoth never said he created creation . But it probable able destory it .
2minutes in and hes repeated himself like 6 times....
Oh this is wat raven say all the time
When your floating up on green clouds and you made a dumb connection...huh...
*breaks out in song*
The day, the muuuusic diëd. And im singing bye bye ms american pie; drove my chevy to the levy but the levy was dry and the good ol boys were drinking whiskey and rye singing "this will be the day we dïē"
Okay, so i apparently mistook him for Cthulhu. Always thought Cthulhu was the one who was “dreaming” the universe, and wakes up for it to be destroyed. 😩😔
neither cthulhu or azathoth dream up reality. People just got that idea from a different fiction author who wrote about a god called mana yood sushai
Its egyptian.. so its aza-tote
0:55 wrong. You don't just go crazy. If you can comprehend what you see, you're fine. If you can't, you're not.
Enel from One Piece might go crazy because he has a huge god complex and ego.
Homor Simpson probably wouldn't.
I have no hope for the rest of this video being accurate to the books.
