THE PRAYER TO YHTILL

“ O Phantom of Truth!

The Stranger in the Mirror,

A faceless Pallid Mask

That stares back at me.

O Great Ruiner!

Yellow Sign Cursed --

The Doom of Carcosa,

Since before history.

O Mighty Harbinger -

In Tattered Saffron Raiment

Step between spaces from the

Black Stars of the Hyades.

O Mask of Pallid Gaze!

I AM You, laid bare during

The Dark Night of Souls

On the shores of Lake Hali! ”

28 Days of Devotion

Day 11: Write a spell based on them. If you don't do magic, instead write a prayer intended to ask for something. 

Alright, I don’t often do magic so here is a prayer for discernment:

O mighty HSTR, star-sung god

Through You all Truths must rise again. Guide my steps as I walk the serpent’s path:that I may know poison from panacea

Grant me the strength to explore the heights and the depths of all things,

To know myself and stand Unmasked.

O JAUNDICED ONE

“ O Jaundiced One! I0! I0! Listen! In the ancient Holy Books of our Order, It was said aforetime that our Lord, Hastur, waked down from the heights to behold a youthful world in the lower registers of consciousness. A world that had been ripe for His soft touch of corruption. This is the World of Horrors. The Saffron Pestilence irrevocably tainted this planet, sealing its DOOM; it lurks unsuspected in shadowy places. The hot winds of sickness cleanse the weak! For is it not said that His is the breath that instantaneously wilts plants? Observe, His feet never touch the ground. He wears His tattered yellow shreds in the mirror, looking at you; He is also in your dreams. Initiate contact with The King In Yellow. Bow before the Elder Throne which is on the planet Carcosa. O Jaundiced King, May Your Blessings Forever Shower Down Upon Me! Hastur! Hastur

Haster! Bow! For Behold, He is your King now, too. ”
