Formally, they were created to better understand the world around them, which would naturally help them survive the Ithaqua better (most notably, the architecture, currently.) After that, it presents non-magickal solutions to those who follow the old ways of the world (pre-magick).
Remember kiddies, the statement that "Sketching is non magick in ithaqua" only needs one instance where that is not the case to be completely disproved, that can be attested to by a number of sources.

 CBC Super Store: Marvel Books: The Ithaqua Cycle
In this case the progrenitor story is Algernon Blackwood's "The Wendigo," about a strange encounter some hunters have with the legendary creature, which is an excellent story in its own right.
The Snow Thing, which has the same plot as the first (police investiagtor stumbles onto Ithaqua cult and gets killed) is better written and paced.
One last thing I'd like to mention is that Price's introductions (both to the book and each story) are some of his better ones, he generally sticks to the point and doesn't go off chasing some wild theory (like he did in "The Nyarlathotep Cycle).

Ithaqua has always been one of my favorite Great Old Ones; I was quite taken aback the first time someone pointed out to me that Lovecraft didn’t invent Him.
Ithaqua was a necessary adjunct to Derleth’s “Elemental” scheme of the Mythos; if Cthulhu was to be an elemental god of Water and Shub-Niggurath a fertile goddess of Earth, then by extension there must be deities of Fire and Air as well.
Ithaqua, then, was born to fill out the pantheon as Derleth’s God of the Winds.

Ithaqua's victims are often found frozen to death, buried partially in the snow with a look of sheer agony solidified as their expression, and random body parts are also missing from the corpses.

He is linked to the wind deities of many early civilizations such as the Innuit, the Lapps, the pre-Colombians, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the natives of Northern Japan and Siberia.
However, the only story from Lumley which influenced "Walker in the Wastes," which is entitled "Born of the Winds," is an earlier work, written in a much more pessimistic setting than the later Titus Crow stories.

 Reviews of 'The Ithaqua Cycle: The Wind-Walker of the Icy Wastes (Call of Cthulhu Fiction)'
In both this and "Dweller in the Darkness", Derleth shills his own books within the story and alternates between mythos baddies Ithaqua and Nyarlathotep as the actual source of the evil occurrences.
As editor Robert Proce points out, many of Derleth's stories seem to be put together post haste as if he couldn't decide which Lovecraftian qualities to throw into the story.
Lumley has an entry "Born of the Winds", which is a rewrite of Derleth's original Ithaqua atory but with real character this time.
