O o Raise up the Stones


To form the Gate through which They from the Outer Void might manifest thou must set up the stones in the elevenfold configuration.

First thou shalt raise up the four cardinal stones and these shall mark the direction of the four winds as they howleth through their seasons.

{Alter Design}

To the North set the the stone of Great Coldness that shall form the Gate of the winter-wind engraving thereupon the sigil of the Earth-Bull thus:{Taurus sigil}

In the South (at a space of five paces from the stone of the North), thou shalt raise a stone of fierce-heat, through which the summer winds bloweth and make upon the stone the mark of the Lion-serpent thus:{Leo Sigil}

the stone of whirling-air shall be set in the East where the first equinox riseth and shall be graven with the sign of he that beareth the waters, thus:{Aquarius Sigil}

the Gate of Rushing Torrents thou cause to beat the west most inner point (at a space of five paces from the stone of the East) where the sun dieth in the evening and the cycle of night returns. Blazon the stone with the character of the Scorpion whose tail reacheth unto the stars:{Scorpio Sigil}

Set thou the seven stones of Those that wander the heavens, without the inner four and through their diverse influences shall the focus of power be established.

In the North beyond the stone of Great Coldness set the first the stone of Saturn at a space of three paces. This being done proceed thou widdershins placing at like distances apart the stones of Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Sul and Luna marking each with their rightful sign.

{Seal of Yog-Sothoth}

At the center of the so completed configuration set the the Alter of the Great Old Ones and seal it with the symbol of Yog-Sothoth and the mighty Names of Azathoth, Cthulhu, Hastur, Shub-Niggurath and Nyarlathotep.

And the stones shall be the Gates through which thou shalt call Them forth from Outside man's time and space.

Entreat the of the stones by night and when the Moon decreasetth in her light, turning thy face to the direction of Their coming, speaking the words and making the gestures that bringeth forth the Old Ones and causeth Them to walk once more the Earth.
