(Put your hands above your head, with the thumbs and index fingers together so they create a equilateral triangle. Turn the right hand so its halve of the triangle points down, creating a paralellogram. Turn the left hand, creating a downwards pointing triangle. Move it down to your forehead, turning it upwards, so the final result is a triangle on your forehead.) Hear me! King of Infinite Space! Planetmover! The Foundation of Fastness! Ruler of Earthquakes!

Then twist it, and visualize how it is turned to point into the fourth dimension, perpendicular to the other directions. It will show the eightrayed star of Chaos.) Opening of the Gate: -------------------- (The staff is held horizontally.) Yog-Sothoth knows the Gate. Yog-Sothoth is the Gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the Gate. Past, Present and Future, all is one in Yog-Sothoth. By that which is not to be named, By Azathoth, By Nyarlathotep, By Shub-Niggurath, By the two snakes, By that which created the Voids, By Kadath in the Cold Waste, By the Plateu of Leng, By Yuggoth, By the moon-lens, By the inprisoned, By the free, By Samas, Gibil and Nusuku, By the High Name of Ea, By the Seven Demons, Guardian, let the Gate be opened!

Let those who want to enter come in! Let us see intp the Hiding Light! Let us see into the Blinding Darkness! Rend the Veil! Crush the Mirror! Reveal the Illusion! See, the Gate opens! (slowly turn the staff from horizontal to vertical, and make the sign of the Rending of the Veil.) See, the Nodes are filled with Power! See, the Lines are filled with Power! See, the Angles twist and open! Notes: ------ I have performed this ritual in front of a lovecraftesque monument and on a empty hilltop. I prefer to have it done on a starlit night, preferably a Sabbath. It is also nice if it is cold, suggesting the emptyness of the Void (I have noticed a fall of temperature both times I have performed the ritual properly). As incense I used jars filled with a mix of sugar, salpeter and incense, which I ignited, creating red-violet fire and lots of irritating smoke. I also used the following seals drawn in the snow or around the circle (crude Ascii representations:) \ / ----------- ----- |\ \ / | | / | \ | \ \ / | | | | | | |\ \/ ----------- \ | / | | \ / | | ----- Eight-armed \ | | / | | /|\ Swastika \| | / | | / | \ \ | /------ | | / | \ \| Yog-Sothoth Nyarlathotep Shub-Niggurath Azathoth Power In the summoning, I visualized a cloud of darkness slowly forming behind reality, gathering into a vortex. Inside the vortex Yog-Sothoth manifests from the higher dimensions. Its shape is highly highly variable. Think of the movies of three-dimensional cross-sections of fourdimensional objects, especially the pictures of julia sets in the quaternions. It rotates, twists, splits up and reform itself constantly. In the Gate opening, I visualize a Gate in front of me, a place where reality gets thinner and thinner, until it reveals the Outside. A bit like a picture where the image fades to reveal the wall behind. Also helpful is meditation about the Schwartzhid metric in General Relativity.
