В ходе исследования был выявлен стихийный характер формирования данного культа (посредством сновидчества) и описаны некоторые элементы «Священного Писания/Предания» «культа Альяха». Данное обзорное исследование приводит к следующим результатам:1. Религиизация литературного наследия Г.Ф. Лавкрафта началась приблизительно в 1960-е гг. и продолжается по сей день как за рубежом, так и на территории России.2. Сам Г.Ф. Лавкрафт был максимально далек от буквального восприятия описанных в своих произведениях потусторонних реалий.3. Сердцем лавкрафтианства являются искусственно созданные вымышленные книги из произведений Лавкрафта и его последователей, зачастую написанные анонимно.4. Основным методом формирования Предания в лавкрафтианской магии является онейрический метод – обращение к сновидениям, который и объясняет неясный туманный характер данного учения.5. Само учение представляет собой мешанину идей, заимствованных из Телемы, различных форм сатанизма, мейнстримового оккультизма и неоязычества.6. Влияние Лавкрафта заметно также в крупных нарративах современной философии: спекулятивном реализме, объектно-ориентированной онтологии и киберфеминизме.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article is devoted to the form of new religious movements (also “fictional religions”) as “cult of Aliyah” (the author also uses the terms “Lovecraftian magic” and “Lovecraftian”). The study revealed the spontaneous nature of the formation of this cult (through dreaming), and described some elements of the “Holy Scriptures/Legends” of the “cult of Alyakh”. This review study leads to the following results:1. The religionization of H. F. Lovecraft’s literary heritage began around the 1960s and continues to this day (both abroad and in Russia).2. G.F. Lovecraft himself was as far as possible from the literal perception of the otherworldly realities described in his works.3. The heart of Lovecraft is artificially created fictional books from the works of Lovecraft and his followers, often written anonymously.4. The main method of forming Tradition in Lovecraft magic is the oneiric method – the appeal to dreams, which explains the obscure the vague nature of this teaching.5. The teaching itself is a hodgepodge of ideas borrowed from Thelema, various forms of Satanism, mainstream occultism, and neo-paganism.6. Lovecraft’s influence is also noticeable in major narratives of modern philosophy: speculative realism, object-oriented ontology, and cyberfeminism.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>культ Альяха</kwd><kwd>Г.Ф.
