1. Entrance To The Ancient Flame (Precursory Procedure In The Name Of OUMQ)
"I looked above, and sealed the Height with OUMQ."
"I looked below, and secured the Depth with QOUM."
"I looked forward, and closed the East with MQUO."
"I looked inside-out, and fastened the West with UMQO."
"I looked to the right, and enclosed the South with VIH."
I looked to the left, and clinched the North with VHI."
"Behold!"
A mere distraction shouldn't be thought. It cometh for inheritor, the throne of lore -
Wander, take limbs and all abroad, like an edified tree quilt in iron forged.
Labour, toil for truth and reveal all oracles, for it plays, attired, through ill-bitten tongues.
Find yer promised, worthy, cause it seek, then struck queenshot in the moments heat.
The circles of the prudent, shines, ye' attract, then becomes a ring on thy hand.
Your hair attains and bedims blacken as soot; pealing words planetary, crushed under the flame's foot.
Thous't strike gods with curse-like names, core within; praised of strenght, oh unhallowed mane,
Swept in reason - Of honoured this time, and plane thoust art...
"Behold!"
"King!"
2. To Enter The Tower Of Shadows (Trapped In The Witch's Spell)
Erichtho's Requisition: Hark!
Thy Spells of black, I cast in your dreams again, I speak. Awaken!
Open thine eyes and reach out to touch me, for thy flesh is soft, sweet, and my bosoms burn with lust that seduces thine innermost purity.
Feel! For indeed, I exist and am no apparition.
Fires from a thousand stems burn from within me and flames scorch thy flesh in ecstatic pain.
Rise! Follow me, as I lead thee into the plains of thy dominion of twilight; thy wand sings as it grows from thine own life. Yes, the eclipse we shall celebrate, dancing naked around the flames of the souls that I have gathered.
We shall rise and rise again, for the winds shall carry us into the night and clench us.
Touch thy wand! Smell the incense! Allow the blade of thy flesh-sword to thrust into thy very own stomach!
Watch the candles multiply and observe the manifestations from this polygon mirror-chamber.
Hold thy hand, as I hold thy senses, so sing with me;
Chant for the Shadows to appear (reappear) and let them suck thy body dry.
I will open the Portal to the Tower... Will you enter?
But of course, frightened is the mortal you are, without warning, awakened.
Come fly with me; join me in the Sabbath (Lughnasadh) and let us ride over the Moon and mountains together.
Behold! This is thy world as I see it: aching with Life.
And you are the visionary dreamer, expecting to see more than me, so I shall show thee.
The ocean vast, deep are the blue seas, and the vigorous mountains are all covered in trees.
Even the Stars and the Moon, you see, is the divided Hydra.
The Tower Portal! The Tower Portal! I shall open it for thee!
And at lenght, I still speak: I shall, but watch and remember what you will see while we fly.
I shall unlock the Tower Portal for you, as I feel your blood rushing through the swollen veins.
Behold! Enter the Tower of Shadows while you still have a chance! As you turn to enter, I voice:
But thine eyes, I shall keep, for thou shalt need them not!
The portal I close and laugh to conceal the cries of yet another.
3. Rule of Utukagaba (Ruling of the Scarlet Light Established at the Gates of the Waters)
...The writs are as blessed as thee, must in their turn, to fiends never fall.
While thou shalt flourish great and free, the dread and envy of transient call.
"Rule, Utukagaba, rule the knaves, serpents will never be slaves."
Still more majestic shalt thou rise - Never dreadful from each debilitated stroke;
As the loud blast that tears through the skies serves, but to root thy inborn Oak.
"Rule, Utukagaba, rule the waves, Immortals will never be slaves."
