The Invocation of the Gate of the Mercury
(Inspired by Necronomicon (Avon Books))
Spirits of the Swift Celestial Dot, remember!
For gods' oblivion is too swift, remember!
For gods' dwelling place is too far away, remember!
Spirits, lords of the quicksilver, remember!
Spirits, ladies of the calculated figures, remember!
By the bridge of turtles and fish, laid by the Covenant between you and the tribes of men,
I call to you! Hearken and remember!
The Severed Eye Of Maitreya, behold!
It Which Neither Slumbers Nor Sleeps, keep watch!
It Which Is Crowned With The Scraped Stars, keep watch!
So that may the spiders and only the spiders leap over the Gate I opened,
So that may the slayers of Hundun be barred behind the Gate I opened!
Gate of the Consort of the Lady of the Sky, open!
Gate of They Who Store All Burnt Scrolls, open!
Gate of the Paired Crows and All Beasts Clean And Unclean, open!
IA NUDIMMUD! IA NINSHUBUR! IA VVOTAN! IA TAHUTI ME-RA KURIOS!
