The Yuggoth Rylna

By Sat Antyr
The Ninth Night Vol. 1, No. 3

Neo mythological systems, systems originating in the imagination of others or one’s self,
can be excellent tools for the exploration of one’s subjective universe and its interaction or
intersection with the objective. In exploring and creating such systems, the Knight-Sinister
may penetrate the Darkness of Runa, and in so doing glimpse familiar archetypes in their
deeper forms. The Rylna Sat-Antyr is such a system. In the “tradition” of Chaos Magic and
Initiates such as A. Spare, the Rylna is an alphabet of desire.
Inspired by the works of Lovecraft, the seal of Runa, and the Neo mythological Work of Sir
Cthulu, the Rylna in its core form is a system of yuggothic Runes based on the cycle of
nine as manifested through three iterations of the Nine Angles.

The Rylna is also a system of sinister time keeping which bears some resemblance to the
sacred time-keeping system of the ancient Maya. But, whereas the Mayan system is mostly
seen as a tool of prophecy in contemporary cycles, the Yuggothic Rylna maps the Past (Ur)
and the present (. ) thus reflecting a possible future. As such it is a system by which the
Sinister Knight may recognize and assign meaning to moments of Xeper and glimpse a
portion of the terrible being he may become.
Nine original Forms provide the source for the Rylna Sat-Antyr. These are known as the
Urna. The Urna are the seed forms from which the Rylna as a whole emerges and unfolds
through time. Roughly, the Urna correlate to what humankind calls the past. However,
these past Forms remain active in their influence of events which are unfolding in the
present—much in the same way that a race of time traveling aliens might manipulate future
events and learn therefrom.

It could be said that the Rylna are these aliens and that our present is their future and our
future their past…

The Urna and the Absolute

The Urna are primal-stellar Yuggothic Forms that are speculated to have originated in the
absolute—a realm being that which is free from material contingency, a universe
autonomous from this one in which we live.
Throughout the history of philosophy, religion and magic the realm of the absolute has
been known by many names. Plato referred the absolute as the realm of Forms. Some
readers may be inclined to view this realm as Heaven. If one entertains this thought, he may
see parallels between the separation of the Urna from the absolute and certain mythological
systems in which self-aware beings are forced to leave their place of origin due to conflicts
originating in tension between the neter of these beings and their environments.
*Because one thing is said to be free from another in many ways, so also the word absolute
is taken by the philosophers in many senses.* -- Stephanus Chavin, Lexicon Philosophicum.
1713 CE
In Medieval times philosophers utilized the word absolute in many ways, one of which was
a sense of something or someone being freed or abstracted from material conditions, hence
contingency. In the broad philosophical sense of the word, contingency emphasizes the
aspect of dependence of one state of affaird on another state affair according to the laws of
nature. The Urna illustrate that the Self is not contingent—that it isn’t dependent on the
laws of nature for its existence. They paint a picture of the soul which is alien to this world,
a soul that is vast, timeless, and above all for more than a simple byproduct of chemical
reactions in the three pound universe of brain.
Platonic Philosophy posits that the realm of Forms, or idea/principles, by its very existence
causes to come into being in the material universe things, beings, or objects which express
the principle which a given Form embodies. In this sense the Urna may be seen as idealized
templates by which isolate intelligence may pattern itself.
As ideas, the Urna are free from the material in the same way as the Platonic Forms are
thought to be free from the material.
Here it might be useful to define a term the Sinister Knight uses often in relation to the
material and the absolute—the unnatural. On the surface this term seems to imply a sort of
hostility towards nature. In a strict philosophical sense this is not so. To understand the
Yuggothic model of the Universe and Becoming, we will have to take a look at the three
terms: 1) The absolute 2) The empirical 3) The unnatural. We here define each in its strict
philosophical sense.
The absolute is that which is in the realm of being. Free from the Empirical, the absolute is
not contingent upon it. The empirical is the material universe—the place where one may
glimpse the shadows of the Urna. It is a distinct realm apart from the realm of Forms,
which is somehow reflective of that realm. The empirical is contingent and is a realm of
becoming.
With the empirical and the absolute we have a primary opposition or exchange of polarity
(see YOT). As such, true understanding and judgment (two unique human attributes) are
impossible if one is purely absolute or empirical. What this duality needs is an outside
perspective—something separate from both the natural world and the absoluter. The
creation of a three wayopposition, or energy exchange, is in order.
The third element, or logical set, in this model is the unnatural. The unnatural, as defined in
the Dictionary of Philosophy by Dagobert D. Runes. Philosophical Library: NY NY. 1942.,
is a property that is neither natural (knowable through empiricism or Dianoia) or
metaphysical like the absolute (knowable through Noesis tempered by Dianoia). The non
(or un) natural, rather, is that which may be apprehended not by sensation or introspection,
but in another non-expository way that is non descriptive and/or non existential—an
abductive leap of knowing. (see NRL)
One may view the non natural as a third logical set which may enable mankind to become
somehow more than human or to embody the otherness implied in the Yuggothic Rylna.
The unnatural, or alien, is actually the subjective-individual perspective and the universe it
represents. The Urna, and Rylna as a whole, are graphic keys to unlocking the unnatural
principles, and to recognizing these Forms at work in one’s Life and Initiation.
The Form which embodies the unnatural is the Prince of Darkness—a being who is said to
have once existed in the realm of the absolute but whose Neter was such that he became
alien to that realm of being and had to create his own dominion in order to continue
existence, since he could not continue existence in the absolute and he could not exist in
that material, or natural realm as a non contingent being. As such he was or is the neter of
the unnatural and separation. The Rylna are the mysteries representing this process and the
runes of the Dark Lord. Like the Lord Loki herein is to be found a key to liminal existence.
The Dark Lord, in all. His masks, is a Form outside natural order. Herein is a mystery of the
Shining Trapezohedron.
The Right Hand Path, or natural approach to selfhood, identifies the natural realm and the
realm of absolutes as reality and appears to deny the primacy of the Self. In so doing it
seeks either to order existence by the Forms in the absolute (go to heaven) or by the
contingencies of the material (become compost after death). In either case placing the Self
in a subservient position to the apparent dichotomy of existence as embodied in the
absolute and the material, appears to subvert individualism and immortality of the Self.
The Sinister path, or non-natural approach to selfhood, identifies the unnatural portion of
the psyche and reality as the primary modes of being and Self, and seeks to separate further
the Self from the dualism of the material and the absolute. It is a choice to place the Self
above both the material and the absolute, and as such it is an enactment of the mythic quest
of the Prince of Darkness.
:RTR:
Through the transformation implied in the cycle of nine that Urna embody, these primal
Rylna of awareness came into being as unnatural Forms, and thus now inhabit realm of the
unnatural—that which is neither metaphysical, or of the absolute, and that which is not
material. Like the Great Old Ones which they are, the Urna exist between and apart from
the world of Forms and the material universe. The Trapezoid is the door through which
they roar.
As unnatural Forms the Urna illustrate the evolution of awareness towards something alien
to both the realms of the absolute and the material. These seeds of the evolution are now
beginning to bear strange fruit. These eldritch Forms can act as runic symbols which both
reveal and make occult new realms of understanding. By Working with the Rylna in
general, and the Urna in particular, it may be possible that the magician will become more
akin to the Yuggothic Forms embodied in these strange glyphs, and in so doing Become an
alien force himself which provides a source for the shaping to come.

The Wailing Urna- Poetic Cries from Beyond

Urna 1 – AZG

The singularity, a black hole, that which pulls the many into the one performing
disintegration, fusion, and recombination. AZG will destroy all but He who knows how to
harness its awesome power- The Flutes wail!
Urna 2 – YOT

The radius beyond azg, lurking threshold of annihilation or immortality, YOT is a thin kine
dividing the Other from the all. The orbit of YOT is reaction; Resonance is required to
reach the next cycle. Do you know how to ride the Night Gaunts?
*Yote, the Daemon of opposition whose order is the primal evil which separates the soul
from the wombe of unity… He who is numbered two shall rend the righteous, and the
Hounds shall roar, calling forth Nyarl from beyond the Gates of Time, and then shall ye
know terror in its greatest glory as ye look onto He who is your True Reflection. * --The
Booke of Coulours, Author Unknown
Urna 3 – NRL

The Pleasure of the Stars, transforming all who peer into its deepest mystery, NRL sends
forth the siren’s wail which Opens the gates, hurling the sinister Cylth into the Darkness.
Sith Laughs and the Hounds Roar! Peer into the Abyss and it shall peer back into you.
Urna 4 – SHB

The Goat of a Thousand Young whose progeny walk the shores of time and dance with the
Ur’na, SHB created the maze in which the Cylth would grow. Increase and multiply! Like a
Flame of Darkness they swept the ages, moving as worms of fire, burning all in their path
and leaving nothing but ashes behind. Few burst from the womb of the maze while most
became grey oily ash on the crystal shores of Time. Think ye that you can master the Self
without first mastering the maze?
Urna 5 – DJI

DJI, a worm without horns and a child of the deep whose mark is 2/3, shall rise the Temple
of Flesh into perfection. From the Fourth to the Fifth the Flame grew to inhabit a matrix
into which all potential manifests.
Urna 6 – KFU

KFU, lord of dreams. Into Rylyeh the Cylth descend. Here is the home of death and the
Angle of sleep. Here is the place where Darkness becomes void. Out of death the lord of
dreams creates himself anew. Hail the Ancient Dreams!
Urna 7 – VchW

As a bolt of lightning VChW awakens and destroys the stasis of sleep. Through the Angles
I have come, a messenger of doom to that which came before. The dream is now realized
and the Great Old Ones walk the skies again! Behold! My wrath is a sword which splits
asunder the symmetry of the Six, tearing a rift through which the Cylth are born anew!
Urna 8 – EMQ

Eight are the Masters who inhabit the Temple of the Nine. Invisible walks the Ninth,
casting a shadow known only to the sinister and those who have survived the sleep to create
again. The Cylth fan their wings upon the stars, and creatures of the void take flight. Far are
the spaces between the stars, yet many are they who live therein.
Urna 9 – XEAP

Victory! Behold the Flame which burns in brilliance and Darkness transforming all who are
touched by its desire! Here is the place of beginning and ending—a talisman will be held
before the eyes of he who banishes death. Xeap shall be its name.
