f the Times and the Seasons to be Observed
henever thou would'st call forth Those from Outside, thou must mark
well the seasons and times in which the spheres do intersect and the
influences flow from the Void
Thou must observe the cycle of the Moon, the movements of the planets,
the Sun's course through the Zodiac and the rising of the
constellations.
the Ultimate Rites shall be performed only in the seasons proper to
them, these be: at Candlemas (on the second day of the second month), at
Beltane (on the Eve of May), at Lammas (on the first day of the eighth
month), at Roodmas (on the fourteenth day of the ninth month), and at
Hallowmas (on November Eve).
Call out to dread Azathoth when the Sun is in the sign of the Ram, the
Lion, or the Archer; the Moon decreasing and Mars and Saturn conjoin.
Mighty Yog-sothoth shall rise to the incantations when Sol has entered
the fiery house of Leo and the hour of Lammas be upon the.
Evoke the terrible Hastur on Candlemas Night, when Sol is in Aquarius
and Mercury in trine.
Supplicate Great Cthulhu only at Hallowmas Eve when the Sun abides
within the House of the Scorpion and Orion riseth. When All Hallows falls
within the cycle of the new Moon the power shall be the strongest.
Conjure Shub-Niggurath when the Beltane fires glow upon the hills and
the Sun is in the Second House, repeating the Rites of Roodmas when the
Black One appeareth.
