Etymological Links Between Cthulhu, Tutulu, and Kusulu

Phonetic similarities between Lovecraft's "Cthulhu," Crowley's "Tutulu," and the Tibetan word "Kusulu" suggest a shared source of inspiration. In Tibetan tradition, a Kusulu is a shaman or priest who may have returned from the dead, mirroring Cthulhu's role as the high priest of the Old Ones. These linguistic overlaps across disparate cultures and ritual trances point toward an organic or supernatural consistency in the information being received by these figures.
