LIBER TERTIUM

In this book I shall explain the creation of the magical tools that the magician will need to summon the spirits which I have told of in the last two chapters. Take care to construct the tools exactly as I tell you and as I have been told by the names of the hours, for if you do not then they will hold no power. I know of the tools for the lesser conjurations, those of the names of the hours, and I know of the tools which the magician shall use to conjure the Old Spirits - but I only know a few methods of protection against the Old Spirits. For this reason I pray that you will summon the names of Etonetatae, Badero and Nerexo and command them to speak truly to you and to tell you of any protective devices which are available against the Old Spirit which you seek to conjure.

In all matters of conjuration you will need the cardinal tools of the wand, the knife, the perfume, the fire and the parchments. When one would conjure the Old Spirits you will also need the sword, the stones and the ring. Additional to all these things the magician must be wearing the appropriate clothing, which bears the appropriate seals and signs.

Firstly the robe is to be made of black material and should be a hooded garment. The robe is to be a new robe made of the magicians hand and should never be used for anything but the work - else it will be spoiled. Starting upon the first day of the week you must do the following - In the hour of Venus you should make the final stitch in the garment and keep it hidden until the next day. On the next day, in the hour of Mercury you should create the following seal on the left arm of the garment and keep it hidden until the next day.

On the next day, in the hour of the Moon you should create the following seal on the right arm of the garment and keep it hidden until the next day.

On the next day, in the hour of Saturn you should create the following seal on the genital area of the garment and keep it hidden until the next day.

On the next day, in the hour of Jupiter you should create the following seal on the back of the garment and keep it hidden until the next day.

On the next day, in the hour of Mars you should create the following seal on the front of the garment and keep it hidden until the next day. Take care to reproduce it exactly as it appears, for this is the most important of the seals which you will make on the garment.

On the final day, in the hour of the Sun, take the robe from its resting place. Before you continue check it for any imperfections in the patterns and once you are sure of their perfection you may commence with the consecration of the robe. For all of the tools which are concerned with the lesser conjurings, you shall use the following consecration, but for the tools which will only be used to conjure the Old Spirits you shall use a later consecration. The consecration is thus; You shall take boughs of laurel and build a fire, which you shall light as the hour in which you commenced the work is quarter through. Now, before the fire, with the tool in your hands, above the flames, not so low that it shall burn or be damaged and not so high that it will not be touched by the smoke. you shall speak the following:

Samak daram surabel karameka amuranas

Ekotos mirat-fortin ranerug +

Dalerinter marban porafin +

Herikoramonus derogex +

Iratisinger +

I call thee, O mighty names of the hours,

The faces of the faceless Nyarlathotep, +

That you may become one in this hour,

To watch my art be done,

That you will grant this tool which I have fashioned,

The power that it is right to have,

For I have created it in the image of perfection,

And it cannot be undone, +

Iratisinger +

Herikoramonus derogex +

Dalerinter marban porafin +

Ekotos mirat-fortin ranerug +

Samak daram surabel karameka amuranas +

Sedhi! +

Ihdes! +

In the all binding name of Nyarlathotep,

Give power this tool, +

Give power. +

Doros serod! + + +

This conjuration shall be comitted to memory, and shall always be done without book or parchment. Where in this conjuration and where throughout the remainder of the book I write + this shall be the signal for the conjurer to make the sign that gains the attention of the names of the Nyarlathotep and aids them in their coming. This sign is simple and shall be done with the left hand. You should touch your forehead with two of your fingers, then you should draw them down to the chest and touch the heart. Then the fingers should touch the left shoulder, the forehead once more and then the right shoulder.

Now that the robe has been made you shall fashion the wand. In the day following the construction of the robe, in the hour of Venus, you should cut the branch of a cypress tree and carve it into a smooth wand, being just over one foot in length. You should also be wearing your robe during the construction of the tools and you shall keep all of your tools wrapped in the robe, which you shall keep hidden. Having carved the wand on the next day you shall take a knife which is pure and has hurt no-one and in the hour of Mercury shall write these signs on the knife:

[Note: The triangular sign is a representation of the path of the fingers in the cross sign described above]

Then in that same hour you shall consecrate the dagger and place it in the fire that it shall be cleansed. On the day that follows, in the hour of the Moon, you shall engrave the sign of Ekotos on the wand. The sign should be engraved four times along the length of the wand, the wand should then be turned to the next quarter and the sign engraved four more times. Repeat this until you have come full circle and the wand has sixteen representations of the seal upon it, which is thus:

Then, at the top of the wand make the ring of Mirat-Fortin, which is thus:

On the day that follows, in the hour of Saturn, you shall consecrate the wand.

Now the perfume should be made and you shall always make it on Monday, in the Moons hour and you shall always consecrate it halfway through the Moons hour on the day in which you have made it. You should take equal parts of mint, frankincense, wormwood, sage, sandalwood, storax and musk, which you will mix together and create a powder from. This powder shall be kept in a bottle which is purple in colour and has the following seal inscribed on its stopper, which shall be made of iron:

The fire shall be constructed before any act of conjuration takes place and shall be left to burn at the north of the circle for quarter of an hour before the conjuration takes place. It should be made of laurel and cypress wood and once lit, you should say the blessing. If you have not built a circle then one should be made one hour before the conjuration takes place and it can then be left there permenently or erased. For the lesser conjurations a circle made of flour, chalked upon a floor, or cut into the earth will suffice, however, for the greater conjurations, those of the Old Spirits, the circle should be cut into the ground and then filled in with a mixture flour and silver - else the conjurer shall surely die. Having built the circle the conjurer must make the blessing. If he seeks to conjure a name of Nyarlathotep then the conjuration which has been used for the other items shall suffice. If the conjurer seeks to summon the Old Spirits then the Great Consecration should be made, which will follow later in this book.

The final tool which you will require for the lesser conjurations are the parchments, upon which you shall write any conjurations and subjugations which you shall need during the work. The parchments should be written in the day before the work will take place at the hour at which it shall take place on the next day. You shall write upon pure, virgin parchment with ink that has been consecrated for the conjuration in question.

If the magician would seek to conjure the Old Spirits, then he shall need several additional tools. The first tool is the sword, which like the dagger shall not have harmed any person or animal. Take this sword in the hour of Mercury and upon the sword engrave the following signs:

The tools which you shall need in conjuring the Old Spirits shall be kept separate from those used in the lesser conjurations and each shall be wrapped in dark green silk, upon which the seal of Unity has been sewn and it is thus:

The sword should be wrapped in this silk and kept hidden. For the space of one moon, each night in the hour of Mercury you shall pray infront of the sword, which you shall keep wrapped in the cover. And you shall pray thus:

+++

Samak daram surabel karameka amuranas

Ekotos mirat-fortin ranerug +

Dalerinter marban porafin +

Herikoramonus derogex +

Iratisinger +

Axarath Malakath +

+++

Axarath Malakath +

Iratisinger +

Herikoramonus derogex +

Dalerinter marban porafin +

Ekotos mirat-fortin ranerug +

Samak daram surabel karameka amuranas +

Sedhi! +

Ihdes! +

+++

This is the prayer of the Great Consecration and you should commit it into memory as with the consecration which has gone before. After the space of one moon has passed you shall take the sword and in the hour of Mercury you shall make a fire. You shall then anoint the sword with the perfume, which has been mixed in part with water. Then you shall hold the sword above the fire at the same hight as before - not so it is in the flames and not so that the smoke cannot touch it. Then you shall pronounce the Great Consecration, which is thus:

Samak daram surabel karameka amuranas

Ekotos mirat-fortin ranerug +

Dalerinter marban porafin +

Herikoramonus derogex +

Iratisinger +

Axarath Malakath +

I call thee, O spirits of the starry band,

I call thee, O Old Spirits,

I call thee from your places or rest

That you may come unto me, +

And watch my art be done, +

In your names I have fashioned this tool,+

And in your names I shall pledge it,+

By your powers I pray that you will grant the tool

The power that it is right to have, +

In the names of

Uk-Han, +

Tursoth, +

Cthuhanai, +

Bovadoit, +

Cthulhu, +

Unspeterus, +

Leasynoth, +

Mememyet-Raha, +

Paturnigish, +

Bugg, +

Beeluge, +

Nun-Buhan,+

I command thee to consecrate this tool,

For I have created it in the image of perfection,

And it cannot be undone, +

Axarath Malakath +

Iratisinger +

Herikoramonus derogex +

Dalerinter marban porafin +

Ekotos mirat-fortin ranerug +

Samak daram surabel karameka amuranas +

Sedhi! +

Ihdes! +

In the all binding name of Mirat-Fortin,

Give power this tool, +

Give power. +

Doros serod! + + +

The Great Consecration shall also be memorised by the magician. Upon finishing the great conescration you shall place the sword into the fire that it may be consecrated in the name of the Old Spirits. When the fire has consumed itself you shall leave the sword to become cold once more and then place it in its cover where it shall remain hidden until it is called for.

Next you shall make the stones, which shall be used to mark the circle when you would conjure the Old Spirits, for it pleases them. You should take twelve stones and they shall all be like to the size of your fist and the stones which you collect shall be Lapis Lazuli, Amber, Onyx, Bloodstone, Agate, Obsidian, Turquoise, Topaz, Coral, Jet, Quartz and Jade. You shall keep these stones wrapped in a similar covering to the sword and shall keep them hidden. You shall also cite the prayer of the Great Consecration for the cycle of one moon as with the sword, but this shall be done in the hour of the Moon. After the course of one moon you shall perform the Great Consecration upon each stone, having first engraved them with the appropriate signs. Upon the stone of Lapis Lazuli engrave the sign which I have placed next to the seals for the Spirits who may be conjured between seven and thirty-fourth degrees. Upon the stone of Amber engrave the sign which I have placed next to the seals of the Spirits who may be conjured between thirty-five and sixty-two degrees. Upon the stone of Onyx engrave the sign which I have placed next to the seals of the Spirits who may be conjured between sixty-three and ninety degrees. Upon the Bloodstone engrave the sign which I have placed next to the seals of the Spirits who may be conjured between ninety-one and and one-hundred and twenty-five degrees. Upon the stone of Agate engrave the sign which I have placed next to the seals of the Spirits who may be conjured between one-hundred and twenty-six and one-hundred and fifty-three degrees. Upon the stone of Obsidian engrave the sign which I have placed next to the seals of the Spirits who may be conjured between one-hundred and fifty-four and one-hundred and eighty-one degrees. Upon the stone of Turquoise engrave the sign which I have placed next to the seals of the Spirits who may be conjured between one-hundred and eighty-two and two-hundred and sixteen degrees. Upon the stone of Topaz engrave the sign which I have placed next to the seals of the Spirits who may be conjured between two-hundred and seventeen and two-hundred and forty-four degrees. Upon the Coral engrave the sign which I have placed next to the seals of the Spirits who may be conjured between two-hundred and forty-five and two-hundred and seventy-two degrees. Upon the stone of Jet engrave the sign which I have placed next to the seals of the Spirits who may be conjured between two-hundred and seventy-three and three-hundred degrees. Upon the stone of Quartz engrave the sign which I have placed next to the seals of the Spirits who may be conjured between three-hundred and one and three-hundred and thirty-five degrees. Upon the stone of Jade engrave the sign which I have placed next to the seals of the Spirits who may be conjured between three-hundred and thirty-six and three degrees. After each stone is consecrated place it upon the cover which the seal of Unity has been made upon. You shall consecrate them in the order which I have written them above and once more keep them hidden until the time of their use is at hand.

The final tool which shall be required is the ring, which shall offer some small protection to the magician who would conjure the Old Spirits, though the protection may be small it would certainly be most foolish to attempt to summon the Old Ones without it. The ring of gold and disc of silver shall be forged in the hour of Saturn and kept hidden, wrapped in green silk upon which the seal of Unity has been made. In the hour of Saturn, on the day that follows the forging of the ring, you shall engrave these characters upon the ring:

And upon the disc you shall engrave these characters:

Once more, for the space of one moon you shall keep the ring wrapped and pray the prayer of the Great Consecration before it. When the moon has made its cycle you shall perform the Great Consecration in the hour of Saturn, having first anointed the ring with a mixture made from the perfume, flour and water. As with the sword, the ring shall be cast into the fire once the Great Consecration has come to an end. Now that the ring has been created, should you feel the Old Spirits attempt to penetrate the circle you shall kiss the ring and say ABROSAX, for this will strengthen the circle for a small time. But you must remember that there is no permenant protection from them and they will break through the circle in a short time whatever protection you may have.
