   Materials required:
   Hair of a black dog, black hair of a human, a black beetle, black
   (dark) earth, black blood and sperm1, black ash, vaseline (or
   'Karmex'), pungent incense, candles (preferably ones that you've
   used for any 'unbalanced' workings), 1 or 2 handfuls of fragrant
   flowers, and flute-like instruments. A mortar and pestle would be
   handy, as well as a small container to carry home and keep the
   resultant).
   
   Purpose or Goal:
   Nyarlathotep is considered the messenger, will, and soul of the
   Outer Gods of the Lovecraftian Mythos. In this mythos the Outer
   Gods (along with the Elder Gods) rule the universe. Though these
   Gods are frequently portrayed as 'evil' and chaotic; there is a
   wealth of alien knowledge to be found within these
   lesser-traveled paths. What is found is likely to be surreal,
   'insane', 'grotesque', Giger-esque, alienly erotic, etc. In
   short, parts of ourselves some of us wish they never knew
   existed. To some it might simply be 'strange and beautiful'.
   Azathoth is the 'ruler' of the Outer Gods, and it is his Will
   that we intend to petition (through Nyarlathotep) so that we may
   share the dreams of Cthulu (not an Outer God, but a Great Old
   One, who are very powerful ancient alien beings). Azathoth is
   portrayed as the 'blind idiot god', a monstrous nuclear chaos.
   Cthulu can take many forms, but is most frequently portrayed as a
   huge octopoid headed humanoid. It is said that Cthulu sleeps in
   his sunken city of R'lyeh, beneath the Pacific Ocean...waiting
   for his followers to awaken him. Nyarlathotep frequently appears
   as a jet black humanoid...but has other forms as well. It must be
   mentioned that these Gods are said to wish humankind nothing but
   cruelty and insanity, or at the least, blind indifference. You
   have been warned.
   
   The Ritual2
   Prepare the room for working by burning a pungent incense. It
   should be dark except for the above mentioned candles burning.
   Participants should begin to work themselves into a trance-state.
   Those with flutes or pipes should be playing (arrythmic drumming
   is also good). Participants can either be sitting or standing.
   Begin chanting (not in concert, ie. not in unison) NYARLATHOTEP
   in deep, glottoral tones. Visualize the Black Man (ie.
   Nyarlathotep). While building SLOWLY (1/4 to 1/2 hour) to a
   frenzied state, participants should let their bodies gesture
   freely. Let go of the control of your body...it will seem as
   though someone or something else is using your body to gesture,
   dance, etc. Do not fight it. It might be slow and sinuous...or
   wild and 'chaotic '...let it flow. Continue the chanting, letting
   pitch and range go where it will. The Speaker begins the
   incantation:
   
     NYARLATHOTEP ACROSS THE ABYSS

     NYARLATHOTEP FETH QICHI FETH QICHI...
     
     (Participants should begin a chant of FETH QICHI at this
     point)
     
     NYARLATHOTEP TELAL ALAL GUIDE US TOWARDS OUR DESIRE
     LEND THE WILL OF AZATHOTH TOWARDS OUR DESIRE

     THROUGH NYARLATHOTEP HEAR US!!!
     NYARLATHOTEP IS THY WILL
     AND HIS WILL IS OURS
     
     (at this point the chanting should lower to sotto voce and
     participants should begin to place their materials into the
     mortar...all except the vaseline/Karmex)
     
     NYARLATHOTEP YOUR SEED INTO THE MORTAR TELAL ALAL
     YOUR CHILDREN INTO THE SALVE
     THE DREAMS OF CTHULU WITHIN TELAL ALAL
     IT IS WHAT WE WOULD HAVE
     
     (begin to crush and work the ingredients into a paste- the
     animal hairs should have been finely diced beforehand- and the
     chanting should begin to raise in volume and pitch...when
     material is finished...go on)
     
     NYARLATHOTEP IJACEEBO, WOULD BE DEVOURER OF OUR WORLD
     NYARLATHOTEP TELAL ALAL UNGOYUD MANGEIF NAGUZ
     IJACEEBO IJACCEBO IJACEEBO!!!
     NYARLATHOTEP EDIN NA ZU!!!
     
     At this point there should be silence... then all shout
     "BARRA!!!"3
     
   Blow out the candle and sit/stand silently for a few minutes,
   then proceed to banish with laughter. In a ceramic or porcelain
   bowl, mix the material with enough vaseline/ Karmex to give
   enough of a portion to all to take home. Ointment should be
   applied to forhead before going to sleep whilst speaking an
   appropriate short dedication/incantation. Write down your
   following dream(s).
     ____________________________________________________________
   
   1 - black blood and sperm as follows: fluid should be produced
   under appropriate mind-set and placed in a silver (or bronze)
   chalice and left uncovered for several days...till it turns
   black. Use enough fluid to avoid evaporation. Back to Text
     ____________________________________________________________
   
   2 - A Vortex may be opened above the mortar (on the altar), but
   it should be left open...until the fruition of the work (days?)
