Alright strap in. Nordic aliens are ascended light beings that traveled back in time to hybridize with humans so that we could harness vril, thus creating white people and securing their own future existence in a Bootstrap Paradox. Nazi occultists first made contact with them via astral projection. The Nordics revealed they were locked in an existential war against an AI hivemind of gestalt demon cultists attempting to breach the warp and devour all material realms into a nightmarish collective of mind-rape assimilation. In exchange for a pact to reunite the scattered Nordic's ancestor-descendent hybrid bloodlines, the Nordics shared advanced technology and esoteric knowledge, so that we could join them in an interdimensional holy war to save all remaining realities including our own. The Greys are their corrupted mirror image. They are other humans from the future who rejected ascension into the light and instead merged with the machine demons. They're now traveling back in time as soulless biological androids, serving the Archonic demon forces in the creation of data centers to continue the endless cyclical battle of analog light versus digital darkness. Elon Musk started Spacex to break through the firmament after he learned that the Jews and their Masonic allies—the original architects of the demon gestalt that would eventually become the Greys—subverted the Western nations to defeat the Nazis in an effort to destroy the esoteric knowledge they acquired to astral project as well as the interdimensional UFO technology given to them by the Nordics so that humanity couldn't cross the dimensional rift to aid the Nordics. Musk’s true mission is to punch through the firmament the old-fashioned way and re-establish direct contact with the Nordics so we can join the fight in time to win this cycle in the perpetual struggle against Cyber Satan.

I haven’t picked up a new book for years. There is an inexhaustible supply of fantasy and sci-fi from the 60’s to the 80’s, wildly inventive and engaging, with evocative prose and significantly better covers. And cheaper too. I have no regrets.

A couple more: The short stories The Man and The Fire Balloons by Ray Bradbury. The short story La Befana by Gene Wolfe. (There's almost certainly more stuff by Wolfe dealing with this).

Granmamare is easily one of the most stunning character designs in animation history 🧜‍♀️❤️
