' The Affair that shambleth about in the night, the Evil that defieth the Elder Sign, the Herd that stand watch at the secret portal each tomb is known to have, and that thrive on that which groweth out of the tenants within-all these Blacknesses are lesser than HE Who guardeth the Gateway HE Who will guide the rash one beyond all the worlds into the Abyss of unnamable Devourers.

The 'key and guardian of the gate' line seems like a pretty direct reference to the fact that the being's manifestation, the Ancient Ones, guard the Ultimate Gate, while the Supreme Archetype is allied with the entirety of existence on every level, just as the quote says ' Past present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth.' There is no other 'Yog-Sothoth' that fulfills these purposes in Lovecraft's writing the quotes from The Dunwich Horror just refer to the Supreme Archetype and its manifestations, but fail to grasp the full scale of the entity. It was like its father-and most of it has gone back to him in some vague realm or dimension outside our material universe some vague abyss out of which only the most accursed rites of human blasphemy could ever have called him for a moment on the hills.' - The Dunwich HorrorД®verything we're told in this story about 'Yog-Sothoth' is just a lesser, incomplete description of the Supreme Archetype.

Only the least fraction was really matter in any sense we know. It was an impossibility in a normal world. ' It has been split up into what it was originally made of, and can never exist again.

He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread.' - The Dunwich HorrorДЄdditionally, near the end of the same story, Armitage says the following: He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. This feels directly contradictory to the description we're given in The Dunwich Horror, which pins him as being distinctly more abstract, even in comparison to the Old Ones described in said story. The quote from Ubbo-Sathla mentions that 'Yok-Zothoth' came 'from the stars', which puts him more in line with a Great Old One (as described in stories such as Call of Cthulhu) than an Archetype/Other God. Despite not having a lot of time, I figured I'd comment on this again because I think the whole discussion is interesting due to the varied interpretations that can be taken from the mythos.ДЇirst of all, I'd like to talk about the quotes that people are saying suggest Yog is a different being entirely from the Supreme Archetype, and not just people looking at an incomplete view of it.
