Cosmogenesis in Full and Anthropogenesis in Cthulhu Mythos Jargon! :)

This is in the Ritual section because it can be easily used to do a ritual or a whole ceremony. FEEL FREE to write a WORKING using this!! Yes indeed!

KEY: I'm using mostly Kaballa words, or more familiar words as being most familiar and easy to find, plus the Kaballistic tree shows connections - combine with Dark Kaballa and get the Dark connections with the pentacle - some of you might even understand this.

See an illustration of the Tree with the pentacle for pointers on this document HERE.

What it is and the Mythos name for it as used in this document:

Ain-Soph is Unnamed Darkness (not shown in illustration)

1. Kether-Ob is Nyarlathotep as a Hell Void or also N'gah K'thuun is used.
(Nyarlathotep is the One-Yet-Two) Kether-Ob is like the Asat or Non-Being in Vedanta.

2. Binah is Nyarlathotep as the Void that emanated the whole rest, like the Sat or Being in Vedanta.
(Actually, we didn't have a Mythos name for it. We made up Yodra as the aspect of Nyarlathotep that is the Mother of the Five Fearsome Entities and of the Tindlosi Hounds from Angled Space.)

Nyarlathotep is the Soul and Messenger of all the other Old Ones, it is both of the things mentioned above.

3. Hochmah is Shub-Niggurath
(the Vajre, the Primordial Logos, the androgyne)

4. Hesed is Yog-Sothoth - like space itself.
(Hesed is also called Yat-Zabaoth, THE GATE, the All in One, One in All; the Main Gate)

5. Geburah is Azathoth - like the not-space
(Geburah is also called Azoth)

6. Tipereth is Daoloth - Render of Veils of Illusion - like Time.
(The TAO pronounced DAO, this can also be used for the Daath)

7. Netzach is Cthugha a fire-like elemental

8. Hod is Ithaqua a wind-like elemental

9. Yesed is Cthulhu a water-like elemental
(O-tuum; we were going to use OTHUUM but couldn't due to copyrights involving intent with author-created entity and a squabble over other writers using it in another way.)

10. Malkuth is Nyogtha - an earth-like elemental

The Gates are:

Azathoth whose number is e; an always open chaotic Gate.

Yog-Sothoth the Main Gate whose number is pi; an always closed Gate unless someone dares open it.

Daoloth whose number is phi; a Gate that is partly open to certain horribly awful things.

There are also the Five Gates which are open when the points of the pentacle are broken, but the Main Gate, Yog-Sothoth (like a circle) must be open for any of the Five Gates to also open.

The Curves are regular forces governing our Cosmos, like physics; curved space.

The Angles are the pentacle sort of infused into the curves of space.
(Angled Space, that which can break through the closed points of the pentacle. Angled Space - the space that is between the spaces we know - it is where They dwell with Their hands forever at your throats, yet you can see Them not! The Pentacle can hold Them back - or release them.)

So then, the pentacle holds the Five back, but it can also release them through the Angles.

The Logos is also Shub-Niggurath - the androgyne, in a more manifested form.
(The Flame within, Vajra IN us, etc. A miscegenation force in cross-breeding.)

The Bahu (or Demiurge, Yeshod/Malkuth before they split asunder) is Ubbo-Sathla (the Root, the Foundation in life, the urge itself to make more life)

Fohat is Revu Pthya (the metric signature of our cosmos in physics)

The Serpent is Yig

Naga is The Nagas

Rupa means form or formed.

Arupa means formless.

The Five Awful, Abominable, Atrocious, Horrendous, Mind-boggling, Horrific, Soul-shreading (heh, 100 other Lovecraftian adjectives) entities that can break through the Curves of Space, break through the Barrier of Light and come into our Cosmos from Angled space are:

(bottom point of star) Bug Shash, and in a higher manifestation, the Black Blood of Yibb-Tstll, the Drowner and Soul Devourer. (If there is a problem using this name due to copyrights, use Ythogtha and Ob-ran for the higher manifestation.)

(lower right point of star) Fthaggua or Aphoom Zhah, the fire being and vampiric, firey soul devourer.

(top right point of star) Atlach-Nacha or Na-Ran - the horrific spider-like weaver of broken threads of the web of life.

(top left point on star) Kha-ran, the polar end of the horrific Ob, the Black Hell that can appear as innocent as a child.

(lower left point of star) Zhar, the wind demon that can suck space/time into a vortex.

Through strange angles are the Gates
Through which my ancient Lord may come,
Come forth, and increase in all your strength!
The very curves of space shall break and be undone
And open to your kind who move in primal serenity
And dwell forever between space and beyond time.

As One Whose Eye Sees All as was and is
Come forth and rend the Veils that ALL may see.
Through the angles of the planes, come forth!

Frenzied chanting: Ia! Nyarlathotep, Ia! (pronounced YA) Ia! Ia! (etc.)

THE LORE:

OK, so then, here comes the deal...

Because of the dangers inherent in this lore, these Tablets will be presented as they are written with no explanations given, despite the fact that the translator was able to explain the meanings. I have not included them here. It is far too dangerous! (Ya see, the translator was devoured by an invisible thing... a blob... that everyone described (!) as either round and green, or long and red. - And no, this oxymoronic quip was not in the original text, :), I just could not resist since presenting this brings back those days of the most hilarious fun I had.)

Let's get serious again. What cults of true-believers do with this esoteric lore is of no concern to humanity save in some of the illegal and more gruesome practices they might inflict on the innocent. But what scientists or physicists might do with this must be considered. We live in an age of technology and the technology to carry out such a plan is within the reach of many. To say too much, as the translator explained, would be recklessly irresponsible. (To tell the truth, the whole cosmogenesis portion gives me the chills whenever I read it - and I've heard it thousands of times! It's interesting to note what the ancients did know, however. This is based on a real document or emanation tradition of cosmogenesis and anthropogenesis - the history of the planet up to the actual scribe Pesh-Hun's days: it's just in Cthulhu Mythos language - for the most part. The later part is in regular language that Cthulhu Mythos writers have borrowed from real doctrines with a few mythos things added.)

1. THAT DARKNESS Which May Not Be Defined Or Described existed wrapped in invisible robes for IT had lay sleeping in dreamless sleep once again for an Eternity.

2. Yog-Sothoth was not, for there was no place to contain It. Azathoth was not, for there was no not-place to contain It. Daoloth was not for It lay asleep in the infinite bosom of duration.

3. The causes of joy and bliss were not. The causes of misery and woe were not. Life and death were not. There was nothing to produce these, nor a one to be ensnared by these.

4. Darkness Alone filled the Boundless All for It had not yet become Nyarlathotep nor had the Bright Child awakened yet for the New Wheel and the journey upon it.

5. The Old Ones and their Truths had ceased to be and the All, the Dark Child of Necessity, was immersed in Darkness to be outbreathed by That which is, yet is not: naught was.

6. The Old Ones had been done away with: the visible that was, and the invisible that is, rested in the Eternal Non-Being of That Darkness Which May Not Be Defined Or Described: NOR NAMED!

7. Yet did the Old Ones pulse unconscious throughout That Darkness which can be seen by the Opened Eye. Open NOT the eye lest you see and the universe tremble and curse your name forevermore.

8. Yet where was silence? There was neither silence nor sound; naught save ceaseless eternal breath which knows Itself not.

9. The moment had not yet struck: Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, Daoloth, had not yet flashed into the germ. Nyarlathotep had not yet swollen and Its heart had not yet opened for the entering and then falling, as one into two, and two into three. Then one into three, The Gates. And one into seven, The Curves. And one into five, The Angles.

10. SEE: Darkness and Nyarlathotep are two and are the germ and are the womb. Yet the germ is One; the womb is One. And the Heart is One with Darkness.

1. The vibration of eternity thrills through infinitude. Nyarlathotep swells, expanding from within and without.

2. The vibration sweeps along touching the whole of Darkness and the germ that dwells IN Darkness: and Nyarlathotep breathes as Nyarlathotep becomes the Soul and Messenger and delivers the message to Itself.

3. Darkness radiates Light and Light drops a Ray into Darkness. The Light folds a Ray that causes Darkness to thrill and unfold the non-eternal germ which condenses into the womb. This is Shub-Niggurath, the Light, the Force, the MANIFEST Message of Nyarlathotep and the Barrier of Light.

4. Then Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, Daoloth the three fold back into Nyarlathotep and unfold forward into Cthugha, Ithaqua, and Ubbo-Sathla that World Egg. Ubbo-Sathla explodes outward into Nyogtha, Cthulhu, and they become seven inside and seven outside, yet still One whose Soul and Messenger is Nyarlathotep Whose workings are Five and Whose Angles are Five, yet One; and Whose mingling is Shub-Niggurath; and Whose Root is Ubbo-Sathla. And the Five Angles close and fold and the seven curves open and unfold. And this is the beginning of the Cosmos and is the Great Rebellion.

5. SEE: Nyarlathotep remains in Darkness; Shub-Niggurath remains in Darkness and out. Yet still, the Darkness is One: the Rootless Root of All. Yet the Darkness is Light and the Light is Darkness. And yet Light is Shub-Niggurath and is the Barrier.

1. The Root of life was in every drop of the seven in an ocean of the three, and the ocean was light and sound and motion and yet the three were in Darkness. Yet Darkness vanished into innermost infinity and was no more: it folded into its own essence. Yet Nyarlathotep is and walks forever between space and beyond time held back by the Barrier of Light, for its very Being can-not-Be. Yet Shub-Niggurath is, Bright Child, Barrier of Light, Child of Hidden Dark Child and Whose Soul and Messenger is That which howls in Darkness and which is Itself.

2. The one is four and the one is seven, yet the four takes into itself the three, and the union produces the seven which become the many ruled by The Five who are yet One. And The Five are The Angles through which are three Gates, and The Gate.

3. Behold Nyarlathotep as the Soul of Daoloth lifting the Veil. It shuts out the Above and leaves the Below to be seen as the Great Illusion. Hold fast to the Illusion lest you SEE.

4. And what now are the eternal germ and womb and where is the Darkness? Where is the Spirit of the Flame that Burns in the Lamp of the Heart? The eternal germ and womb are Nyarlathotep, the Child of the Hidden Darkness, whose Soul and Messenger is Itself and whose message is the Bright Child Shub-Niggurath.

5. Daoloth, Nyogtha, mingle and spin a Web whose upper end is fastened to Nyarlathotep yet Shub-Niggurath, and whose lower end to the Root Ubbo-Sathla: MATTER. This Web is the universe spun out of the two substances made in One.

6. SEE: It expands when the breath is upon it; it contracts when the breath is upon it. Then all disassociate and scatter to Return to the Bosom of Darkness at the End of the Great Day to Re-Become One.

1. The universe cools and becomes radiant with light and sound and then expands and contracts of its own self.

2. Then Nyarlathotep the Messenger becomes Revu-Pthya and hardens the atoms. Each atom is part of the Web reflecting the "Self-Existent Deity" like a mirror. Each becomes in turn a sun, which in turn become new suns and worlds. Hear the sounds and see the sights of the Great Illusion.

3. Listen, sons and daughters of the Earth! Hear your instructors! Learn there is neither first nor last for All is One. Number issued from no number. Learn what we who descend from the Primordial Flame in Darkness have learned from The One Who is our Soul and Messenger.

4. From the effulgency of Shub-Niggurath, that Ray of Nyarlathotep sprung in space the re-awakened energies. This was the Army of the Voice and the Five-fold Soul and Messenger of the seven. The sparks of the Seven are subject to and the servants of Nyarlathotep. These sparks are called spheres, triangles, cubes, lines, and modelers and are the forms which exist in our world.

5. The Darkness, whose Soul and Messenger is Nyarlathotep, is the Yog-Sothoth or space the-Closed Gate and the Azathoth or no-space the-Open-Gate and the Daoloth whose Gate is the Way and whose Way is One. Yet the Voice of Nyarlathotep is One and nine.

6. And Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, Daoloth enclosed within the Gate which IS Yog-Sothoth are One with Cthugha, Ithaqua, Nyogtha, Cthulhu yet the four espy them only dimly.

7. And the ten, They Which May Not Be Defined, are the Arupa (formless). Then come the seven Rupa (forms) and The One, the eighth "left-out" - Nyarlathotep whose breath is the Light-maker, who forever howls in Chaos where It crawls beyond the Barrier of Light yet between the Five Angles.

8. Nyarlathotep lifts Its voice and calls to the innumerable sparks and joins them. It is their Guiding Spirit and Builder. When Nyarlathotep commences work It separates the sparks that float and thrill with joy in their radiant dwellings which is their flesh. They are the million favored ones against whom none will prevail to the Great Day when All Returns to the Bosom of Darkness.

9. KNOW: here are the secrets of your own creation, the mysteries of your own Being:

Above: one manifest, six concealed; two manifest, five concealed; three manifest, four concealed.

Below: four produced, three hidden; four and one fraction revealed and two and one half concealed; six to be manifested, then one laid aside.

SEE and KNOW:

Arupa: Daoloth manifest, the six concealed; Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth manifest, and five concealed; Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, Daoloth manifest, the four concealed.

Rupa: Cthugha, Ithaqua, Nyogtha, Cthulhu produced as Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, Daoloth are hidden. Cthugha, Ithaqua, Nyogtha, Cthulhu and what one may SEE of Yog-Sothoth Revealed and Azathoth, Daoloth and what one dare not see of Yog-Sothoth concealed; Yog-Sothoth, Daoloth: space-time and Cthugha, Ithaqua, Nyogtha and Cthulhu manifest, then Azathoth laid aside as Azathoth is not-space-time and IS now one with Darkness.

10. Understand: Nyarlathotep-in-Darkness does pull part of Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, Daoloth into Itself. The pulling becomes pushing becomes the Revu-Pthya that hardens the Arupa into Rupa. Cthugha, Ithaqua, Nyogtha, Cthulhu the four produced; and the three, Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, Daoloth hidden in that part which is the Soul and Messenger Nyarlathotep yet is the Darkness which is Five-fold. Yet Darkness is still One.

11. Understand: We see but the face of Yog-Sothoth as a fraction of Its whole. Daoloth, Azathoth are concealed, unseen, yet one half of Yog-Sothoth is concealed through Its Gate which is Itself.

12. Understand: Azathoth is one and identical with Darkness, whose Bright Child WAS and IS Nyarlathotep yet IS Shub-Niggurath. And it is THROUGH Azathoth that Nyarlathotep-Shub-Niggurath does enter the radiant dwelling which IS the flesh whose Root IS Ubbo-Sathla and which entering IS Shub-Niggurath and what entering IS Nyarlathotep the Soul and Messenger of: AZATHOTH!

13. KNOW: that all is made in the likeness of Arupa which became Rupa. And all that exists to be summoned forth or fashioned by craft is Rupa. Take heed lest you seek to fashion or summon forth that which is Arupa: summon not what you can not put back; make not what you can not unmake, lest the universe tremble and wobble on its journey.

1. The beings who came to be on Earth were subservient to the Old Ones who in turn revolve around their Lord, The One-Eye, Nyarlathotep, The Messenger. Its breath gave life to the seven and it gave life to the first on Earth. Its Five-fold Heart molds the seven into life. And all is in its proper place on its journey.

2. Said the Earth: "Lord of the Seven Suns, my house is empty. Send forth rupa to people this world. Send to your servant the urge of Life."

3. Said Nyarlathotep: "I will send a spark when your work is done. Raise your voice to other Lokas (spheres of existence). Have the Old Ones send forth themselves which are their sparks. They will be mortals. Cease your complaints: the skins are no sooner on yourself yet you are not satisfied. Your mortals are not ready."

4.And after great throes of fire the Earth stood in the midst of Its First Age.

5. The Earth whirled for 500 million years and then were constructed the rupas. Then soft stones that hardened, hard stones that softened: small lives. Earth lay on her back and on her side and created from her own bosom. The Earth made water-slime, terrible, created from the remains of scum, from the dross and muck of the first and second and third attempts. These were so terrible that Nyarlathotep, sensing these, became displeased.

6. Said Nyarlathotep: "I am the Soul of the Seven, I see none of these in this flesh. I am the Soul and Messenger of the Five-fold Flame, I see none of It in these, no fit rupas for my spark, no dwellings there for the lives."

7. And Cthugha came. Night fires and day fires. Cthugha dried out the turbid dark waters and, with Its heat, destroyed the rupas.

8. And the oceans of the young Earth wept. She raised part of herself and vanished into a moon. But the Earth remained bare.

1. Then Ubb came, rupa child of Rupa Ubbo-Sathla. From the body of earth Ubb separated the waters and that which was the sky.

2. Great Ubb brought forth forms of Its Nature and gave them their forms within, while Earth gave them forms without, which is the Power of Shub-Niggurath. Soft and graceful they were, yet strong, and through the Earth's sands and seas they roved.

3. And with the passing of time the Living changed according to their lands: some big, some small, different colors, some with wings, some with tentacles. For it is with the Will-Born that change does occur. And this is the Power of Shub-Niggurath Whose Soul is Nyarlathotep.

4. Yet these beings, the parents, the boneless, could give no life to beings with bones.

5. Then came the rupa from the product of budding and expansion. Lush and green the Earth became. And this is the Power of Shub-Niggurath Whose Soul is Nyarlathotep.

6. When the rupas became old for their time, the elder waters mixed with the younger. When the drops became turbid they vanished into a new stream: into the hot stream of life. The old became the new that preserved the old and discarded the old, which in turn changed anew. And many forms did emerge. Then did the upper air change and many forms died. But Life prevailed, great beasts roamed the Earth. And this was the age of the egg-born rupa.

1. Then, in this time of great lumbering beasts roaming the Earth, did a new rupa come into being which was a reptile yet with warm blood. And yet another rupa came into being which was womb-born. And then did new rupa come from the intermixing of preservation and change.

2. And it was too that Yig came into power of Its own, though it is not known whether this Yig be of the same Nature as the Nagarupa that own It as their Lord.

3. It was now a time when the huge, lumbering, small-brained giants that walked the Earth's land-masses were laying waste the green on Earth's surface.

4. Then the time came to rid the Earth of these large beasts and, by spells and devices, was called to the Earth a large heavenly stone which crashed into the Earth and caused a long time of darkness and cold. Thus did the large, lumbering creatures come to the end of their season.

5. And in that long time of darkness did a new rupa emerge and these were our ancestors and this was the Power of Shub-Niggurath Whose Soul is Nyarlathotep. They lived for a long while in the trees until a long, hot and dry time came to the surface of the Earth. Then did they come down from their tree dwellings and take to the shallow waters. It was there they did change as they were Will-Born, and this by the Power of Shub-Niggurath. No longer did they appear as did their kin in the trees. Changed were they so much, they did dive like the seal. And they were gentle of nature according to their kind.

6. And it was there they did make first contact with Yig and the Cult among Mankind was first born. According to the allowances of nature, many minglings did occur and these varied one from the other and this is the Power of Shub-Niggurath and the Urge of Ubbo-Sathla. And societies formed were peaceful, life was good, and the many rupa prospered.

1. Finally, a great cold came upon the Earth and destroyed the prosperity and life became hard for the many rupa. And there was Humankind

2. And it was during this time of bitter coldness that Humanankind did lose its home amidst the shallows and did move away from the seas and did settle further inland. And thus did Yig call out to them in their hearts where the Flame Glows bright, to Remember and to keep the Knowledge Sacred and to preserve the Cult.

3. And as times and seasons changed, other lands with civilizations of Humanankind rose and fell. And the greatest of these was Hyperborea, whose history was told by the scribes.

4. And it was the ice and cold that came to see the end of this vast and wondrous civilization, which accounts were given by the scribes.

5. And so it came to be that Mankind did make and learn skills anew and new civilizations arose. From the Keeping of the Ways, another land is named Mu and there a great sea-faring nation does dwell known as Tangata-Kanaka. Some of these did voyage to more western lands and began a civilization with the name of Ur where they do trade with the Anu-naki, as the Naga are called in their Uruk (clan encampments) in the western lands. And we know the Kama in our homeland of Meru as Rakshashas and Prachetases and they have always preserved the ancient Cult.

6. And civilization does thrive among the Han people ruled by Fu Hsi and Nu Kwa who do keep the Cult of Ubb and Nyarlathotep, which they call a Great Dragon, and the cult of Daoloth, for whom they learn great fighting skills named Shao-lin. And they know the sea-faring nation of Mu as Miao and they know the Naga as Chan or Cha'ang or Hsien.

7. And other great civilizations thrive in the land of Songhay ruled by the Zo clan, where the knowledge is kept. And the civilization of Khem ruled by Set does spring from the roots of Songhay and is beginning to show greatness.

8. And even other great civilizations thrive in Ameru, which some call Patala, which are of the Naga and who keep the Cults Nyarlathotep and Yig.

9. And one civilization thrives that we do know by legend, and that is Zimbabwe which is of the Cult of Nyogtha. And legend does speak of drums they beat upon to talk with and summon forth councel, and of the strange clicking manner of speech they have.

10. And there are many other peaceful civilizations of Humanankind on our sphere, though not as large as these, nor as advanced. And this is the Satya Yuga and all things are well.

1. There came upon us then, a warm night and the nights are getting warmer with each moon. Magis throughout the lands agree this is the end of this Age of Ice.

2. Once again, the seas will rise, lands will vanish and people will move on to new lands. Everything will, once again, change: foliage, the place of other animals, land-masses, and how we live our lives and govern ourselves.

3. May we continue to govern well in the manner of Will-Born rupa.

4. May Great Ubb, Parent to us all on this world, and Nyarlathotep in our hearts keep us all safe. And may Mankind continue in the most ancient tradition of Unity and with Respect for sentient and creative life, and Tolerance as was and is still known among such diverse beings as dwell on this sphere.

5. And this is The History as passed down to me, an Adept of the Naga in the Priesthood of Meru in the city of Kara-Shehr, named by my mother: Pesh-Hun Lanoo.

I wrote the first three verses of "Chant to call the Old Ones" from a song that has six verses, which I wrote in the early 1960's not related to the Old Ones or the Mythos at all. People seem to like stealing this song from me. First, someone stole it and put some of it in the Cloven Hoof and claimed to be John Dee, the author. Next some heavy metal artist in one of the Scandinavian countries asked me if he could use it for his metal band - and I said yes if he paid me royalties. He used it, I never got a cent. I never got to hear the song, either, nor do I even remember who he is or what specific country he's from. Well well. I can only hope that the Gates open and the Hounds of Tindlosi consume their brains. Phil Marsh wrote the fourth verse that's on here in the 1990's.

Tablets 1 through 5: I assume they were written by Wayne C because I had the notes and got them from him and he did tell me he was working on that back in the late 1970's. These were notes from Blavatsky, from her so-called Book of Dzyan, but with changes made in the magins (like a proof reader would make). Only part of it was done and the rest was completely unreadable gibberish. I could not change the rest of what she wrote as Wayne did. I also recognized, at this time, that Blavatsky seriously distorted and got heavily editorial with a "one darkness" doctrine or Hindu Creation Hymn, that is very clear and short. She wrote things that had an entirely different flavor to them. I assume she heard the naked doctrine, wrote it down, and then got creative (or destructive, depends on how you look at it) with it. Wayne C, or possibly someone else in his clique only had some outline for what he intended to do with it. What Wayne has the Tablets actually saying is not the same as what Blavatsky has her verses saying at all. Wayne just kept some of the flowery language.

What I did do was fill in the details of what he had using regular Emanation Doctrine and Mythos words and I also wrote the rest of the Tablets on here using Daniel Harms' Encyclopedia Cthulhuiana mixed with real history place names. So, Wayne C wrote Tablets 1 through 5 from an alteration of a Blavatsky text. I filled in the details for Tablets 1 through 5 and I wrote the rest of the Tablets myself.

Anyway, I went and typed it all up neatly as "The Aklo Tablets."

Of course, it would be completely incomprehensible without a Key - especially since so many Mythos stories have been written where people disagree about these Mythos forces/entities/beings/monsters. :) Keep in mind also that the Mythos didn't have so many entities floating around back then, either.

Despite my using Kaballistic and/or other words to "translate" what the Mythos names mean here, it's standard Dark Tradition Emanation doctrine, but it's in DETAIL. Perhaps because it is in detail, and perhaps because I belonged to a group that was using these Mythos names instead of the legit names of these things and I kept using them, they are very familiar in the way they are used here for me, I get a really STRONG feeling when I read the Tablets. I can see why some people get "caught" by this Mythos, at least the original old Mythos, and why others think that this stuff is real!
