The Whumps of March 2024: "Vengeance"
A series of vignettes based on Arthurian legend, collected on AO3 here.
Morgause was losing patience. “What do you expect me to say, Morgan? Arthur is the High King now. And our brother, in case you’ve forgotten.”
“Brother,” Morgan snarled, slamming her goblet in anger. “The son of the man who killed our father! Enslaved our mother! Sold us like pawns to his allies, turned us from our home and—"
“Yes, Morgan, I know why you hate Uther,” Morgause said pointedly. “So perhaps you should be happy that he is dead.”
Morgan’s gaze smoldered. Morgause held her breath for a moment, only mostly sure that her sorcerous sister wouldn’t lash out at her words.
“Arthur killed your Lot, didn't he?”
She spoke softly, but the words hung heavily in the air for a long moment.
“Yes,” Morgause said finally, icily. “Not personally, mind you. That was King Pellinore, as my sons are accustomed to remind me. But I have no interest in revenge. It was a war, and we lost. A wise queen accepts what is."
Morgan sneered. "So you'll accept the same treatment that our mother was forced to."
"We tried to take Arthur's throne. Because—” she spoke loudly, as her sister tried to interrupt, “like your Uriens, we imagined that we had a certain right to it, and were willing to make great risks to achieve it. That ended poorly for us, though Arthur has been noble in his victory.
"I’ve learned from my mistake, sister. Perhaps you should as well.”
Conjuration of the Directions
Conjuration of the Spirits of the Directions
* Say this to each of the four parts of the world first, going counterclockwise, W-S-E-N in the circle just as the ever-vigilant Celestial Bear Twins do, and all of ancestral witchdom after Them: “Venite via Amorule Taneha Latisten Rabur Taneha Latisten Escha Aladia Alpha & Omega Apollo Leyste Oriston Baal.”

Strike to the SE, conjure: “May this most beautiful King Formione come/go forth with all his angelic legions to do my will!”
*Place the censer in the East to billow, and conjure with bowed head: “Geneolia, Chide, thou Ministers of the Tartarean seat of Apologia, powers of Maonamiria, I conjure and invoke thee to come quickly and without delay, from all parts of the world, to respond rationally to all that I ask of thee, not harming me or my kin. Come thou with truthfulness and veracity, with peace and revelation, to show whatever we wish, being conjured by the Mastriss to Whom thou owes obedience, Lumiel Noumios Luterios Lucifer, Aoth Abraoth Basym Isak Sabaoth IAO.”
* Omit any asterisked lines during the dismissal, and, after dismissing them one by one, include some line that amounts to, “Return to thy abodes with my blessing, and may peace always remain between me and thee, my kin and thine.” I use another conjuration of the Blessed Mother, the Mastriss, and two Pagan hymns to ensure that no lingering spirit might remain to cause me ill after the dismissal, which I may post here in the future.
This conjuration is based on a dimly beheld Latin grimoire which has not made its way into English translation yet entirely… it is the only grimoire I am aware of to give the spirits of the direction’s names so clearly, and to go on to name their ministers and the servants who “rouse” them. It also states that North is of Saturn, West for the Moon, South for Mars, East for the Sun, Southwest for Venus, and Southeast for Jupiter. I believe that the omitted planet, Mercury, being Mercurial, is at times in the Northwest and at others the Northeast. My presumption is that this changes either seasonally, or due to the course of the Moon. When the Moon waxes, Mercury would probably reside to the Northwest, and Northeast when the Moon wanes. Mercury is the planet of the Mastriss, tricky and androgynous. It is for this reason that I have added the Latin name of the Mastriss to the conjurations, “Lucifer”, allotting the Northeastern quadrant of the circle to be devoted to Them. You can change the name, or you can omit this quadrant as the original Latin authors did.
Oriens is one of the eight demon princes mentioned in The Book of Abramelin, working under Satan, Lucifer, Leviathan and Belial. He also appears in Cornelius Agrippa's De occulta philosophia as the spirit of the East.
If summoned, he can bestow great wealth on the magician. He also has the power to raise the dead.

Who were the 12 kings/leaders who rebelled against arthur? I can't seem to find a list
Hello! Unfortunately I couldn't find a list of twelve, and I also remembered twelve, but in Malory there are eleven kings (or leaders) that are hostile and rebel against Arthur when he is crowned:
- King Brandegoris;- the Duke of Cambenet;- King Clariance of Northumberland;- the King of the Hundred Knights;- King Lot;- King Uriens;- King Idres of Cornwall;- King Cradelmas;- King Agwisance of Ireland;- King Nentres;- King Carados.
Basically Arthur’s sisters’ husbands (Lot, Uriens and Nentres) and less known people!
Morgana: You’re right. Urien: That’s…that’s an unusual phrase for you, did you just learn it? Morgana: Shut it or you’ll never hear it again.
