Subject: Nyarlathotep Summoning and Cthulu Dreamworking

Materials required:

hair of a black dog, black hair of a human, a black beetle, black (dark) earth,
 black blood and sperm*, black ash, vaseline (or 'Karmex'), pungent incense, ca
ndles (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, also a

small container to carry home and keep the resultant)



* - black blood and sperm as follows: fluid should be produced under appropriat
e mind-set and placed in a silver (or bronze) chalice and left uncovered for se
veral days...till it turns black. Use enough fluid to avoid evaporation.



Purpose or Goal:

        Nyarlathotep is considered the messenger, will, and soul of the Outer G
ods of the Lovecraftian Mythos. In this mythos the Outer Gods (along with the E
lder Gods) rule the universe. Though these Gods are frequently portrayed as 'ev
il' 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', 'grotes
que', 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 beautifu
l'. Azathoth is the 'ruler' of the Outer Gods, and it is his Will that we inten
d 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 bei
ngs). 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 octopo
id 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. Nyarlatho
tep frequently appears as a jet black humanoid...but has other forms as well. I
t must be mentioned that these Gods are said to wish humankind nothing but crue
lty and insanity, or at the least, blind indifference. You have been warned.







The Ritual*



        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 p
laying (arrythmic drumming is also good). Participants can either be sitting or
 standing. Begin chanting (not in concert, ie. not in unison) NYARLATHOTEP in d
eep, glottoral tones. Visualize the Black Man (ie. Nyarlathotep). While buildin
g SLOWLY (1/4 to 1/2 hour) to a frenzied state, participants should let their b
odies gesture freely. Let go of the control of your body...it will seem as thou
gh 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 Spea
ker begins the incantation:

* - A Vortex may be opened above the mortar (on the altar), but it should be le
ft open...until the fruition of the work (days?)

begin to place their materials into the mortar...all except the vaseline/Karmex
)

(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 vo
lume and pitch...when material is finished...go on)

At this point there should be silence... then all shout "BARRA!!!"*





* - Participants might consider creating Elder signs at this juncture...basical
ly a banishing pentagram)



        Blow out the candle and sit/stand silently for a few minutes, then proc
eed to banish with laughter. In a ceramic or porcelain bowl, mix the material w
ith enough vaseline/ Karmex to give enough of a portion to all to take home. Oi
ntment should be applied to forhead before going to sleep whilst speaking an ap
propriate short dedication/incantation. Write down your following dream(s).



        One should do this a couple of times, but I wouldn't recommend abusing
it. Though I have done successful work with Nyarlathotep before, this ritual is
 as yet UNTRIED!!! You have been warned again...It is best to perhaps leave the
 mortar untouched and the

vortex open until all have had 'success'...then close/clean-up.



Good luck!!
