Introductory note

The Delomelanicon is the most classic of the Black


Books, which
tradition attributes to the hand of Lucifer himself.

The Delomelanicon is a text that in drafting in


Egyptian, at the time of the 9th Dynasty, more than 4,000
years ago,
it was called “The Nine Doors”. A few centuries later it
came
made the Greek version with the title Delomelanicon che
can be translated in two ways: “The Revelation of
Darkness” and “The Invocation of Shadows”. Finally,
about
2,200 years ago, the Latin version followed with the titles:
De Tenebrarum Regis Novem Portis (“The Nine Gates of
King of Darkness”) and De Umbrarum Regni Novem
Portis
(“The Nine Gates of the Realm of Shadows”). The latter
version, as regards the text entitled De
Tenebrarum Regis Novem Portis, is an obvious one
manipulation - compared to the Greek version - by
those Jewish Gnostic circles open to Egyptian thought and
Greco-Roman.

The writing of the book in Egyptian and its version in


Greek were lost, but the Latin version arrived,
in 1188, in the hands of the Templars. Later, in 1266, the
book was delivered to Roger Bacon who had the
task of changing the nine illustrations of the De
Tenebrarum Regis Novem Portis to better adapt them to

his era. Later, in 1592, the book arrived


in the hands of Giordano Bruno. The Nolan added to the
two
you text the title pages and the comments on their images.
Sui
two title pages he put the inscription Sic Luceat Lux (So
let the Light shine) and Cum superiorum privilege
veniaque
(With the privilege and permission of the Superiors).
Finally, some
information on the Delomelanicon - including the nine
o'clock
illustrations of De Tenebrarum Regis Novem Portis -
they came to the writer Arturo Pérez-Reverte who drew
from them
a novel {The Dumas club, 1993) and from it the director
Roman Polanski made a film of it {The Ninth Gate,
1999).

The Latin version of the is presented here


Delomelanicon with the exact illustrations of the De
Tenebrarum Regis Novem Portis. Some of these
illustrations differ, in some particulars, from those
found in the book by Arturo Pérez-Reverte and from
those that appear in Roman Polanski's film.
In the first table shown in the book we find the
inscription: “NEM. PERV.T HERE NN LEG. CERT.RIT”,
that is
NEMO PERVENIT QUI NON LEGEM CERTAVERIT
(No one reaches it if he has not fought according to the
Law), but in the table shown in the film we find the
written: “SI.VM ET AV.VM”, i.e. SILENTIUM EST
AUREUM (Silence is golden). In the original table
we find both writings.

In the second plate we find the inscription: “CLAVS.


PAT.T”, i.e. CLAUSAE PATENT TETH (They open this
which is closed Teth).

In the third table we find the inscription: “VERB.


D.SVM CST ARCAN.”, i.e. VERBUM DIMISSUM
CUSTODIAT ARCANUM (The Lost Word guards

4
the Secret), but the face of the archer in the plate shown
in the film it is different from the face that is in the table
shown in the book.

In the fourth plate we find the inscription: “FOR. NN


OMN extension. A.QUE”, i.e. LUCK NOT OMNIBUS
AEQUE (Destiny is not the same for everyone).

In the fifth plate we find the inscription: “FR.ST.A”,


i.e. FRUSTRA (In vain).

In the sixth plate we find the inscription: “DIT.SCO


MR”, i.e. DITESCO MORI (Death enriches me).

In the seventh plate we find the inscription: “DIS.S


P.TI.RM”, i.e. DISCIPULUS POTIOR MAGISTRO
(The student surpasses the teacher), but the boxes of the
chessboard in the board shown in the book are all of
color black, while those of the table shown in the film
they are all white. In the original table
we find the black and white boxes.

In the eighth table we find the inscription: “VIC. IT


VIR”, i.e. VICTA IACET VIRTUS (Virtue lies
won), but the face of the knight in the plate shown in
film is different from the face in the plate shown
in the book. Furthermore the knight, in the table shown in
the
movie, wield a bat, while in the board shown
in the book he wields a sword. Finally, the young man
kneeling, in the table shown in the film, looks like
a kneeling maiden in the plate shown in
book. In the original plate we find the Knight with the
sword and the kneeling girl.

In the ninth plate we find the inscription: “N.NC SC.O


TEN.BR LVX”, i.e. NUNC SCIO TENEBRIS LUX
5

(Now I know that from Darkness comes Light).

The plate shown in the book depicts the Whore of


Babylon riding the Wild Beast from the Seven
Heads. She holds her right hand resting on the back of the
Dragon and the left hand supports an open book, and on
a crescent moon rests on her lap. Also in the background
there is a castle on fire.

The board shown in the film differs from that


shown in the book in the following features: face and hair
of the Whore of Babylon are different, the right hand
is raised at an angle with the middle finger pointing
somewhere
what, and the crescent does not appear on her lap. In
addition the
Castle is of a different style and is not on fire, and on it
an eight-pointed star shines.

The original table is similar to that of the film with


some differences: the Dragon has Eight Heads and on the
Castle
the Eight-Pointed Star does not appear.

We have observed that the Latin version of the


Delomelanicon, as regards the text entitled De
Tenebrarum Regis Novem Portis, is an obvious one
manipulation - compared to the Greek version - by
those Jewish Gnostic circles open to Egyptian thought and
Greco-Roman. Such manipulation is in character
cabalistic, since the sacred Cabbaia was beginning to
originate.
As a result, the original text was superstructured
of all those kabbalistic knowledge that began to
to rise. Ultimately we can argue that the De
Tenebrarum Regis Novem Portis is a text that traces the
Off to the Man, to the One who conquered the Crown
(Kether), the Christ-Light (Lucifer). Indeed, the journey
initiatory that is proposed in the text is descental,
i.e. proceeds from above (Kether) to below (Malkuth)'
from the First to the Eighth Gate... to find its apotheosis
in the opening of the Ninth Gate, through the seventeenth

Key. Therefore we can argue that the version


latin of the text contains a text within the text.

So what is the original text?

Only the One who possesses Knowledge can know!


All the others just have to look for…

As regards the text entitled De Umbrarum


Regni Novem Portis not much to say, we can
only to state that it faithfully reproduces the version
Greek. It deals with the Nine Gates of Below, in which
we find Nine subtle Dimensions inhabited by subtle
entities.

The prepared reader will recognize in the Delomelanicon i


names of deities found in Howard's tales
Phillips Lovecraft and other writers - August Darleth,
Clark Ashton Smith, Ramsey Campbell, Lin Carter -
of the Lovecraftian current. Rightfully, it will rise to him
the doubt that the book is a pseudo-biblium, that is
a work never written, but cited as true in books by
actually existing narratives. Therefore it is a must
remember that HP Lovecraft was 'a seer from
distorted visions' who managed to get in touch, through i
his horrific nightmares, with very ancient entities...

At this point it seems appropriate to conclude with the


famous couplet by Abdul Al Zared.
u That which can live forever is not dead,

And with strange Aeons even death may die."

The image

This is the Tree of Life, Lightning and the Serpent.


Thirteen Fruits of the Tree; One Lightning, Twelve i
Rays of his Lightning; One the Serpent, thrice knotted
to the Tree.

Every Man is a Seed for a New Tree.

This is the dark way of the light, which every man


he should pursue for his complete Realization.

A barren Tree of Lies consumes Man by


too much time.

This is the New Tree, yet the oldest.

O Man, descend from the Root, it will be a big step.

Thirteen are the Fruits. Each Fruit a World, each


World a Palace, each Palace a Door and a
Guardian for each Door.
But verily the Palace is One and Nine are the Gates,
Thirteen Worlds and Thirteen Guardians.

Every Man is a step on the Staircase of the Gods;


learning to be each of the steps will eventually become
a God.

Every Man is a closed Palace; himself is the Key


to open it.

To assert himself he will have to visit the Thirteen Worlds


and meet the Guardians and tear the secret: not
first he can open the Nine Gates, one by one.

So Nine is One, and the Palace will open wide


revealing all its splendour.

11
THE

The Three Roots of the Tree

You will descend the Tree from the Root.

The Root is One, even if Three are its


bifurcations.

Woe to anyone who confuses the Three Roots with the


Three Mothers!
It couldn't be; they are superior, and the Origin
Before the Tree is from above, not from below.

It is the Rain from the Cloud that feeds the Roots. And the
Cloud Rain is Lightning and Lightning.

The Central Root is the First Gate and the first


step, and World and Guardian are the same.
Ghroth is his name. He is One.

Ghroth is the Messenger, as he has been set out


of the Abyss, on the side facing the Kingdom of men
to show the way. He is the Walker in Darkness,
as he moves to the Realm of men, which is Darkness.

He is the Keeper of the King's Castle, therefore I ti


I say: “No one reaches it if he hasn't fought second
the law". If you do this, his big red eye will
will disclose for you. This is the first Key.
Then the Music will come out, dancing in your head

15

of the Spheres, the only condition to allow you to


to continue. It awakens every god and destroys the fool
and
the imprudent.

Be careful, therefore I tell you: "Silence is golden".


Know this and you will be saved. This is the second Key.

Then Ghroth will break the Flesh Bond and you will be
free to proceed.

The First Door is open: Love and strength come


your Spirit.
Two Roots detach from the central one, seat of the
Will: one goes to the right, the other to the left. Watching
the Tree opposite what is to the right is actually to the left
when walking the road.

Understand the Truth. So what is Above is what


it is at the bottom. Here the Way is traced.

Attention! The Second World is left, but it


it is not the Second Gate. But there is the Second
Guardian.
Vordavoss is his name. He is the Lord of Love.

Vordavoss, Lord of Yamak, sits at left


of the Abyss. And said the Flaming, since on his
face burns the Fire of Love, fragile and indestructible,
under the dominion of the Will.

He will speak to you of Love with mysterious words and


wonderful, but you won't understand it. Show him the
double
Key to the First Gate.

Show the Double Key to the Sand Shaker,


that shocks the Worlds with its infinite message, and fixes
your eyes in his eyes, clear and unmistakable, black
like empty deserts among the stars, cold in their wisdom
otherworldly. Lose yourself in them, be Vordavoss in its
end
voice, tinkling and crystalline.

This is the only way to leave them behind


his mortal remains before making the great leap
out of the Abyss in which one was born, for verily the
Kingdom

it is the Abyss, and not the Tree. If you think this you will
be annihilated
along with your raw remains.
Love is the chisel the Great Mother uses to
make her children Black Diamonds lighted up her own
Light.

You are now the Son of the Mother, not yet born again but
pure
enough to pass through the First Gate.

But three are the steps before the Abyss, one more.

The Third World is to the right, but it is not the Second


Brings. But there is the Third Guardian. Nathanass is his
first name. He is the Master of the Force.

Nathanass, Lord of Yhu-Gho, sits at right


of the Abyss. The world of him, brilliant, you can see
from
Night among the many stars. He too is in the Kingdom,
the
Hunter, to ease the pain that the
Nightmares that always hang over us in our Darkness.

The Hunter will point you to the safe path it leads


to the Abyss, if you know how to show him the double
Key of the
First Door.

He wanders among the stars in a great drawn chariot


by the Force. A myriad of creatures of a beauty
hidden and terrible surround the Chariot, and all serve it.

Great beauty is in the Force; but you have to


dominate it, don't let yourself be dominated by it, or you
will become
dark and emaciated, silent and faceless like i
his servants. This is the arcane teaching and
warning from Nathanass. Conquered is the Force.

Blessed is he who knows the Force, for it is the


ultimate secret of the Tree.
Go to the path of Power, where Will, Love and
Force meet to form the Knight, and proceed
towards the Second Gate.

The Throat of the Serpent

The Throat of the Serpent is the Abyss and the Abyss


stands over the
Kingdom, the Abyss is external to the Kingdom, the
Abyss contains the
Kingdom.

The Abyss is the Second Gate, the Gate of the First


Reborn, and a mist surrounds him like a Veil. It's at
guard of the Abyss was placed Yog-Soth, whose number
it is Thirteen.

Yog-Soth is the Worlds. Yog-Soth is the Gate, Yog-Soth is


the Key of the Gate, Yog-Soth is the first Key.

Attention! Yog-Soth is very powerful, his number


it is Thrice-Great that of the Worlds, of the Gates and of
the gods
Guardians combined. But he is not the Tree!

Great is the Secret, for at the Second Gate two


are the Keys: the first Key is the Guardian, while the
second Key is Knowledge.

The Two Keys “Open what is closed Teth”.


This is a Big Secret; understand it and you can
proceed on the Way, or become part of the Gate for
Always.
At that time! With the first Key the Second Door will
come
opened and the first Key will be in your hand as one
Sword of Fire, and with it you shall cleave the Mist-
Without-

21

Nome, the Veil of the Abyss. And passing through the


Second Gate the First Rebirth will be accomplished.

Understand the secret of the First Veil, whose number is


Thirteen.

Before you now extends the trunk of the Tree and the
Serpent is coiled in it three times.

The Body of the Serpent - First Knot

The Serpent of Knowledge is powerful because


embodies the perfection of the Law: Will,
Love and Strength. This is the meaning of the three Nodes
of
Serpent, the three coils around the trunk.

Upon each coil of the Serpent rest two Worlds,


one to the left and one to the right. Will is a Node with a
Door, Love is a Node with a Door and Strength is a Node
with one Door, three Nodes with three Doors, but always
One.

Through the knowledge of the Law of Power, the


Serpent is eternal. But the Serpent is still on the Way e
great is his Power; but if you end the Way you will be
higher than Eternity and the Laws. However, only one
time you will walk the Serpent along its entire length and
then you shall pass on, for it is eternal and Eternity
still is not your goal.

Beyond the First Veil you will find the Red Diamond, ei
its three Guardians. You will need to pass two of the three
Guardians
if you want to go through the Third Gate on the first Node
of the Will.

You will start from the top; on the left of the Way is
Ymnaar

25

in the first Knot of the Serpent. He is the Force in his


more seductive and pleasant. On the right it is instead
his brother Nigyr-Khorath, the Force in most aspect
destructive and uncontrollable. Together, Ymnaar and
Nigyr-
Khorath are the Guardians of the Third Gate.
The first coil of the Serpent is near the Abyss, but in
either way is beyond the Abyss.

Use all your Will to escape the spells


of the two Brothers in the Force. This is the first Key.

To find the second Key know this: “The Word


Lost keeps the Secret”.

The Third Door will then open, which you will pass
through, and the
first Node will be like a bridge towards the centre
of Eternity.

The Heart surrounded by the Serpent

The Heart surrounded by the Serpent is the seat of


feelings:
this is because the Serpent decided so. And in the Heart
resides Mirii Thorion, the Hidden Sun of Spaces
Dark.

Mirii Thorion is the Sixth Guardian, the Guardian of


Fourth Gate, the Gate of the Second Rebirth, surrounded
from the Veil of the Portal which separates the first Node
of
Snake from others.

You are now in front of the Fourth Gate. The Key is


always double, but here its two aspects are thus
inextricably linked that by explaining one will be revealed
the other too. Therefore I tell you: learn the secret
of the Man knowing that “Destiny is not the same for
everyone". This is the double revealed Key.

At that time! The Serpent will stop the beat of the for a
moment
his Heart and the Fourth Door will be opened only for
you.
Hold your breath and move on... so you will be reborn
again and
you will be the Fool, but the Fool of yourself.

Here, with your Will, you will forge your Destiny.


You will banish from yourself the yoke of Space and
Time, of
Life and Death, of Man. You will be free and without
limits,
and you will gather together with it THE temity: closing
everything in

29

you, holding it back and concealing it for the moment, or


you will be
Stuck at King status on the Way to be a God.
Do you think it would be worth getting to this point?
Lift the Second Veil, the Veil of the Portal whose
number is Six, and you will become pure love. Self
this already seems like a lot to you then you better stop
in Eternity, since what comes after the Fourth Gate ti
it will seem inconceivable and end up annihilating you.

Now let the division of the Tree be clear to you, in Three


Floors
of Light: Kinyan, the Blue Light; Yoth, the Red Light;
And
finally Nakai, the Black Light.

Before you is now the Black Light, in its most Forms


powerful.

FR.ST.A
30

The Body of the Serpent - Second Knot

Beyond the Second Veil you will find the Black Diamond
ei
his six Guardians. You will have to pass two of the six
Guardians
if you want to go through the Fifth Gate on the second
Knot of 11'Amore.

On the left sits Cyaegha, the Seventh Guardian,


keeper of the secrets of Time; on the right sits Daoloth,
the Eighth Guardian, keeper of the secrets of Space.

Great danger has been placed in the Knot of Love,


yet you will have to face it with the first Key, namely:
“Light is Love”. Thus you will harness the Power of
Light and you will make danger unmanifest, and then you
can
proceed.

Those who seek solace in the secrets of Cyaegha will find


only
hate; he who seeks freedom in the secrets of Daoloth will
find
only bondage. The Guardians are the manifestation
absolute of what they represent, because the secret is here
clear: the miser accumulates gold, but his time is up.
Therefore I say to those who accumulate gold: "In vain".
This is the
second Key.

Then the Eye of Cyaegha and of Daoloth does


33

they will close and you will be able to reap the fruits, in
which
they are the Secret Seeds of the Black Guardian. You
know what to do.

The Fifth Gate opens for you.

Towards the third Node, the Darkness becomes more and


more
Black.

34

YOU

The Body of the Serpent - Third Knot

You will need to pass two Guardians if you want to pass


through the Sixth Gate on the third Force Node.

On the left sits Yibb-Tastli, the Ninth Guardian,


she who suckles her servants, changed by Love, which is
she; on the right sits Xada-Hagla, the Tenth Guardian,
he who sacrifices himself for the sake of the Force, and
gives
that draws the Power of Eternity.

Yibb-Tastli will reveal love to you in its true form,


stronger and older, continually renewed in her. And you
you will understand.

Yibb-Tastli will not try to hold you, but his


charm and comfort found in Grande Amore is one
something so powerful that you will have to show her the
secret
of Freedom not to drown in Love, which is here a
Ocean of Black Milk. Here, Law and Darkness are united
in a form of higher knowledge and again
incomprehensible to you, which you will understand not
before the
Second Mother.

Here, you will have assimilated the secret of the Love of


Ninth Guardian in a more powerful form, so
to have its Power and not be bound by it, for always
Love is under the dominion of Will. This is the

37

first Key.

What is impalpable acquires consistency here, too


if not-manifest. Put that in your heart along with the
secret of Xada-Hagla, which is the second Key, namely:
“Death enriches me”. Know this, it will be enough for
you.

Xada-Hagla will not try to deceive you nor of


charm you. He wants you to proceed: you just have to
know. Then the Tenth Guardian will open the Sixth for
you
Door, hidden in the center of its Court.

Follow the sound of flutes and the hammering of drums


before you; understand the meaning of near and far,
of courage and fear, of heat and cold, of sadness and
happiness, total despondency and supreme ecstasy. All
sensations you will experience on the Via della Musica,
but not
never forget! You are the Way.

You are the Way, in all its forks.

Understand this and, without realizing it,


The Eleventh Guardian will already be in front of you.
VII

The Tail of the Serpent

Crowded is the Darkness of the Seventh Gate, for who


it inhabits it is made of Darkness: that is why it is so
dense.

Always the sound of thousands of flapping wings


pervades the whole of that Infinite Abode in which
Ubbo-Sathla is its Guardian, the origin and the end of
things.

Attention! The Origin and the End, not the Creator and
the
Destroyer.

Ubbo-Sathla is the perfect, fruitful and Hermaphrodite


gives birth by itself. And the knowledge of her is life and
death, and the
his nature is man and woman.

know! The Secret is placed in you, unmanifest, among the


many that you have learned on the Path already travelled:
you know
Which.

Know yourself. This is the first Key.

And this is the second Key: “The student overcomes the


master".

Ubbo-Sathla, defeated, will have no choice but


let you pass through its Seventh Gate.

And you, as Ubbo-Sathla, will receive the Third Eye


through which to observe the Whole continuously.
And finished the body of the Serpent.

Streets. IT VIR.

Cowardly
The Crown of the Tree

This is the Crown of the Tree, the border between Light


and
Darkness called Yiqaa, the Gray Light, where he dwells
Mlandoth, the Twelfth Guardian, the Guardian
of the Eighth Gate.

But before meeting the Guardian you will have to arrive


in front of the Prima Madre, the Mother of
Tears, of She who gave Life to form and Form to
life. She is the Matrix and all things were made with her,
animated and non-animated.

Many have paid the price for his acquaintance with the
pain, having failed to understand her, since she
says: “The greatest expression of love is hate; there
freedom finds its apex in slavery; the darkness more
deep is light. Learn from this and you will understand that
it is not there
difference between love and hate, freedom and bondage,
darkness and
light".

Life is a wheel, you go up and down. This is the


first Key.

You are now in front of the Ottava Porta; hurry up if not


you want to cry for Eternity in the heart of the First
Mother.

This is the second Key and the secret: “Virtue


lies defeated".

45

The Force is your Sword and the third Key to open


the Eighth Gate.

Then the Matrix will close and the Door will be opened.
Yay
firm in your will crossing it: it is the proof
harder, before reaching the Ninth Gate. In
the latter is the ancient lost peace, prior to
birth, in which one is a Nothing to be shaped.

Pleasant is Nothingness. And the Whole then?

Hold on! One more step on the Scala degli Dei.

But now you must meet Mlandoth, the Twelfth


Guardian, the Creator and Destroyer of Matter. And
he will lead you to the presence of the Second Mother, of
the
Mother of Sighs, of She who instilled desire. She is
craving and with it the desire was given to everything.
Many have paid the price for his knowledge
with despair, as many have longed for
Love, looking for him in the most desolate places, and
they were
destroyed by research.

Don't pine for what you can't have now, since


soon it will always be Now, and nothing will matter
anymore.

But you will be a God, higher than all this, pass and go
after you.

46
IX

The Head of the Serpent

In ancient times, when All was Nothing and Nothing was


Darkness, the Spiritual Fire was Nothing and the Mother
was
Darkness. At first they remained in themselves, separated
from each other, but
when they met they created the Void, each for himself
and remaining in itself. Then they united, only partially,
and
the Will was born. And with the Will came the Law
Hidden, according to which the same action can
make two creatures One.

Soon after this was born the Force, and then the Fire
Spiritual and the Dark Mother decided to unite in one
deeper relationship, and Love was born. And from theirs
Love was born the Head of the Serpent, the origin and the
end
of Thought, which through it becomes manifest.

Then from the Head of the Serpent came the conception


of the
Matter, and so Space and Time.

Then it was Everything and the opposite of Everything.

The Head of the Serpent stands at the center of All. In it


has
the Serpent originates, but the Serpent has no origin and
no end.
The Serpent was not and the Serpent will not be; simply
the Serpent IS, in an eternal Present.
49

The Head of the Serpent is the seat of Knowledge:


this is because the Serpent decided so. And in the head
resides Umr-al-Tawil. Secret is the method of calculating
it
the number, but he is the Guardian of the World-Without-
Number, that's enough for you.

The World-Without-Number is in the centre, in the


depths;
it is the Ninth Gate. A big secret is hidden in the
name of its Guardian, since the number of Umr-al-
Tawil is the number of Worlds.

Here you are on the top of the Great Mountain called


Kadath, in the innermost room of the Great Castle
of Black Onyx the Sacred Light.
You will meet Umr-al-Tawil, the Thirteenth Guardian.
He is Darkness, he is the one who understood Eternity.

And why, you, will you be superior to Umr-al-Tawil?

Because you will understand the Light of Eternity, the


you will take and you will be its container.

So you can rise above the Cloud and be the true God.

Know therefore that Eternity is Nothing: for this you were


a
Man.

You are now superior to Man and equal to the Gods.

And then you will be able to say: “Now I know that it


comes from Darkness
the light". This is the Key!
And the Ninth Gate will be open.

Lightning will flash in your mind and you will be created,


generated by yourself. Made the Beast, made the God. E
before you the Aeons will be proclaimed. And in front of
you
Umr-al-Tawil will speak his names.

This is the Third Rebirth!

This is the moment: let the Light be in you and not


be you the Light, or it will all have been in vain, and Umr-
al-
Tawil will throw you through Ubbo-Sathla on the Way
Contrary and you will return to Earth, and you will not
have a second
chance to break the Cycle again.

No one will save you then.


Careful! There is great danger in the World-Without-

Nutnero, since its Guardian conceals its Knowledge e


This Knowledge is the knowledge of Death. He can
lead you to the presence of the Third Mother, of the
Mother
of Darkness, but out of Darkness was fashioned the
Blue Diamond. Understand this and you will be Free.

Beyond the World-Without-Number there are none


Worlds, Places, Abysses, but only Infinite Darkness and
Light
Absolute. Woe to those who call it Nothing; woe to
whoever
call Chaos: it is only Beyond. And the Beyond is alive and
throbbing.

Beyond... its letters are Water and Fire.

The letter of Water is Mem: not ordinary Mem


whose hieroglyph is a wave, but the final Mem whose
long flat lines suggest the calm sea... e
you will know it as Mein.

The letter of Fire is Shin: that of Fire


Spiritual.

In the Beyond, you won't have to go, at least not now.

Now all the Guardians are subservient to you: with them


you can
destroy the Earth, you can make it better or ignore it or
create a new one.

Then the Ancient Gods Guardians, the Righteous Lords


from
Triple Mantle renewed by you, the many will penetrate
Plans of the old Universe, breaking into reality
human and dissipating it with their Cosmic Wind in the
Frozen Desert. Everything will be destroyed to make way
for it
to your way.

Yours is the Tree and all the Universe.

Now, your kingdom come and your will be done.

The image

This is the Tree of Life, Lightning and the Serpent.

Thirteen Fruits of the Tree; One Lightning, Twelve i


Rays of his Lightning; One the Serpent, three and a half
times
knotted to the Tree with its tail in its mouth.

The Tree is Light, white fruit of the dark earth; from


here the Twenty-four 'branches' or 'paths' branch off
'channels', depending on how you understand them.

The Tree is the supreme Way that leads Beyond the


Light and Darkness, conquering Realization,
the amalgamation of Light and Darkness.

So, is it Triune or One? This secret is also here


content.

One is the Tree; ascending it, starting from the Root,


you will reach the Highest-Light, above the Branches,
above the Chioma, towards the Lightning and its
Sparks, beyond Lightning and beyond the Cloud that
generates it...
and thus you will become the true God.

Do your Will through Love and you will achieve


the force.

The Force, which is Power, which will give you Power.

You will have to understand the Power.


Everything speaks of Power, since Power is Light and the
Light
it comes from the Tree and the Tree is Everything. The
planets copy the
its Scheme, the stars distort its Light; the Man is
made in the image and likeness of the Tree. The Tree is
All.

55

Man is born Nothing but can become All-One.

THE

The First Door

I am Hastur, the Lord of this place.

Here everything is created in my image, according to my


own
wish. This is the world where I come from and it is the
reflection and the origin of your.

In this world resides the Light of Knowledge


which originates from me. This place is timeless; here
there is
your past, your present and your future.

You travellers, if you enter this place without


you might miss me. Look for me before you take a step.

Now I'm going to tell you about the way the Ancients
used to make
emerge, from themselves, the Power.

The Power of the Ancients

Pay attention to these Three Words that I will now tell


you:
Arrhiihu, Sherrh, Ulhumrho. These are the Keys to the
three operations: recall, accumulation and relaunch
of energy.
59

These Three Words must never be spoken


aloud with their exact pronunciation as
would cause a release of one's own energy,
resulting in physical death. They must be pronounced
mentally at the right time where they need to be
used. Their exact pronunciation will not need to be
researched
but it will appear in the mind along with the Words
themselves.

These Three Words shall be used when the


Ancients will make you understand that it's the right time
to do
produce a certain form of energy.

Normally this operation must be performed with


certain aids of Instruments prepared for this purpose.
These Tools, which you will have in your possession, yes
consist of three essential parts, one for each Instrument,
then Three Tools. They are: the Symbols, the Crystals and
the
Incense.

II
The Second Gate

I am Yog-Sothoth, the Lord of this place.

Here life has no beginning or end. Nothing I will say


it can be understood, my voices speak for me.

I am the unchallenged Lord of the Abyss. Who enters


here it is lost.

This outside world that you see is my world


internal. At my will I can lock up men
inside me and never let them out again. I am this world.

Now I will tell you about the Thirteen Globes that make
up the
my body.
The Thirteen Globes of Yog-Sothoth

I manifest myself in Thirteen Globes; They're mine


emanations and a way to reach men, but I
I'm not there, I always stay here.

Without me the balance can be broken, not


I can forsake my kingdom, if I did what

63

you know it wouldn't exist.


64

Ill

The Third Gate

I am Dogon, the Lord of this place.

Here human miseries are generated. My


world is a fluid world where the shadow merges with
the light.

I come from this world, but I go to others. You


humans I reach you through electro-magnetic waves.

Outside of my world is a network that connects you


all and through it I travel, and through it my world
recreates itself.

It's actually you who feed my world. There


Door to access them can be anywhere. The is enough
right vibration setup, but it's not
enough that you want it. I am the one who decides if
let you in, depending on whether you are interesting to me
or not!

Now I will tell you about those Signs that allow Man
to express his will phenomenally.

On magical signs and gestures of power


67

I must premise that the magical Signs, always and in


in any case, they are only a support of the force and not
the strength, which must be present in you.

There are many magical alphabets and many ne


will exist in the future, hence the Alphabet I am going to
describing you is only what I find most suitable for
human beings.

The Nug-Soth Alphabet

(A) - -H

Now that you have the Nug-Soth Alphabet think not


to be able to do some miraculous things, but if you
analyze it
deeply you will be able to discover potential in it
unsuspected.

With the Nug-Soth Alphabet you can build gods


splendid Symbols to work both on us and on others.

To build the Symbols it is essential to have imagination


and creative imagination. With them he formulates a
Symbol, enrich it with the Alphabet of Nug-Soth and it
will be
ready to serve you. Then create a vortex of force from you
itself and imprint it on the Symbol. This way it
he will do your will as long as you are not a slave to

someone or something.

Regarding the Gestures of power I must tell you that they


are of
different kind. When you will have to work in contact
with some
Subtle Forces they will come to you and guide you for
facilitate your relationship with these Forces.

If the Gestures of power will not manifest


clearly in your mind it will mean that you are not ready
to dominate the Forces you have unleashed and they,
visible or
invisible, they will take the right revenge, the right one
revenge on the mortal who dared to challenge them. The
Forces are
right and terrible, there is no escape for those who try to
to master them without first having mastered himself.

Forces dwell in dimensions of which even the


time forgot its existence. they look,
intrigued, the futile game that humans call
"life" and have fun burlesquely at the expense of the
fragile
creatures of flesh, laughing at their despair.
Indifferent in the face of events that men
they define cosmic; enraged and terrible before the vain
and iniquitous efforts of those men who strive to
look for them to own them. Heavy sentences to them!
Wretched
mortals who raised their heads from the mud, in which
they continue to crawl, and for this reason they feel like
the Lords
of the world.
Men will curse the hour it all began
this, since not even the dust will remain of them in which
the hairy beings, called Heerg-ro, drag theirs
webbed feet in the lower lands.

These are my words of wisdom and condemnation.

IV
The Fourth Gate

I am Nuhram, the Lord of this place.

I come from the Starry Sky and beyond. Here I have


established my residence, but in reality we are three...
three
are the thrones, but two are empty.

We look at each other, our faces are turned


towards each other.

Our eyes fix a central point and from there the


Flame originates, the Flame that sustains all.

We are Titans, immovable and imposing, nothing there


can move. Everything around us can fall or change,
but we are immutable.
We will always be when all else is gone.
Whoever dares to sit on one of the thrones will be
incinerated. Alone
knowing the secret of the Transformation he will save the
life.

The Pillar of Fire stands tall and pierces


everything, matter and antimatter.

There are many of us in other worlds, but only the


perfect balance of the three of us can generate the Flame.
Yours is a red Flame; there are blue, green flames
and other compositions, depending on the world in which
you are
finds.

73
The origin of the world is secret to most and so it must
stay.

Now I will tell you about the Symbols by which it is


possible
create a bridge between the will of the magician and the
things of the
material life.

On the greatness of the Symbols which were used by the


Ancients

Here I will show you five Symbols that


distinguish a certain type of ceremony.
These Symbols serve, in a sense, as a lens between
the energy of the magician and the purpose of the
ceremony. Indeed,
through them, the magician's will to action comes

enormously tenfold and in this way makes appear


materially what the ceremony was performed for.

I will now describe the five patterns to you


fundamentals, from which you can draw innumerable
variations
with as many multiple functions.

Seal of Anth-rur-oohn

This Symbol consists of five hatches


fundamental. It is mainly used for
ceremonial evocations in which the called entity comes
submitted to the Seal. It is the most powerful that exists
and for
any type of entity, be it spirit of light or demon
corpse eater.
Seal of Nuuh-rsh-oo

This Symbol serves primarily as a lens


focuser by the will of the magician. It is being used
mainly to increase one's energy
mental, in function of operations particularly
important.

Seal of Eehl-shu-nlo

This Symbol is one of the oldest to us

74
75

handed down and has a universal value. It serves for


every type of operation, from the lowest to the highest;
however, be careful not to use it with impunity, alone
who can must use it.

Seal of Llorr

This Seal serves to absorb stellar energies,


which will be able to be used for any type of
operation. The way to proceed is as follows.

Put yourself in a state of stillness, choose a night


starry. When you have all that take the Symbol, run it
and remain in a state of receptivity for at least five
periods (five to ten minutes). When will you hear yours
be burn of a smoldering fire erases the
Symbol and return to your home. Be careful what you say
o
you will do, since your every slightest movement can
have
very serious consequences.

76
v

The Fifth Gate

I am Cthulhu, the Lord of this place.

I reign in the Abyss, in the depths of men.


There is no light here, although always in the dark there is
light, but not here.
I am the proponent of everything evil yes
moves in men.

I deny life, I belong to death. All in


this place is dead, there is no sign of life down here. Not
i love the company.

I cool what is hot. When you feel a wind


ice cream, this is me; yet I have the ability to burn
souls.

I was born and live to do upon you what I don't


love. Thanks to me the minds of men are chained,
but at the same time I rejoice when someone succeeds
break the chains.

Here where I live everything is a trap. You can


decide to stay here, but you will find neither a start nor
an end.
Now I will tell you about the Automatons, that is, about
those instruments
magic that can exercise a kind of dominion over

81

material things.

Of material things and what can influence them

Here I will tell you about the "Automata", even if the term
is
improper, in fact, some are material, while others
they are spiritual. Finally, there is a third category that yes
develops between these two extremes and that is, more
exactly, the
part that is born in matter finds its complement
in spirit.

Material automata

For the construction of material Automata, one


fixed scheme does not exist. It must be adapted to the
purpose that we set ourselves.

The appearance of the Automatons can come from one


intuition of the person, while their use is almost
totally connected to the construction scheme, therefore
that too depends on the mind of the designer.

The functioning of the Automata mainly follows


the law of cause and effect.

Spiritual automatons

The construction of automatons of the softest material


it is done only on a subtle level.
The magician, in his subtle body, will have consciousness
expanded in equal degree to the body formed and
therefore will know
how to act.

Automatons that exist partly on the material plane e


partly on a subtle level they are very complex from
to describe and so is their use, but, in fact, they are
so simple that even calling them “Automata” is
improper.

The magician must undertake a quest within himself


that leads him to discover the key that allows him to
create the material base of the Automaton. A method
precise to carry out this does not exist, the whole is left
to the magician's intuition.

Once the material proceedings have begun that


it constitutes the Automaton, its transcendence on a level
subtle is automatic. Of course, it must be stated that,
depending on the intended purpose, both the foundations
will change
materials that the thin dimensions on which you will have
to
extend the operation.

Spiritual-material automatons

The Sixth Gate

10 I am Nyarlathotep, the Lord of this place.

My world is the most beautiful thing that can exist. Here


there reigns joy in the form of light and light in form
of joy.
By a Law of Nature, unfortunate for men,
this world cannot be brought to the surface. It,
by its nature, it cannot exist under external influences.

I love to surround myself with beings as similar as


possible
to men, having assumed the human form.

I have reigned on the surface in times gone by, but


I have been exiled. The play of forces was too great, le
Moire decided a return was more likely
into the Dark rather than an advancement into the Light.

The decision of the Fates was irrevocable and like


everyone else
I had to submit to their will, but after my own
There is a void in the world and they had seen this.

I mirror my world and within me is the


empty. If one stays here too long its be
gets frozen.

Now I will tell you about the invisible and intangible city
ai
mere mortals. It exists on Earth and was the cradle of

87

ancient gods.

Of the City located between the Magnetic Poles and of the


Formula
Dho to be able to see it

With the disappearance of the ancient Gods, the fabulous


City
disappeared from the sight of men. This happened to
avoid the desecration of that mystical place. Anyway
it exists and there are two Formulas, one is for
to see it, the other is to enter it.

There is no need to warn the unwary that the use of


these Formulas is intended only for the Beloved of the
Gods, or the ancient Gods themselves. However everyone
has
his semblance of free will, do what he will, the
whoever made a mistake will pay for it.

I, here, will reveal to you the Formula called Dho, and by


there you will be able to see the fabulous City of the
ancient Gods.

The Dho Formula is actually very simple.

The Dho Formula

Make yourself comfortable, relax your body and mind.


Burn the incense that the Gods have given you and start
getting lost in its coils.

The Incense.

One part powdered rose incense.

One part powdered musk incense.

One part Chyprus incense powder.

One part powdered Amberwood incense.

One part powdered magnolia incense.

One part powdered verbena incense.

One part is sandalwood incense powder.

88
Three parts Abramelin oil.

NB The Formula does not appear in the original text


some incense; here is given an ancient Formula suitable
for the
purpose (NdC).

Now focus your thoughts on the city and see the


Seal you have prepared for the purpose. Perceive in you
the energy that comes out of it.

The seal.

Watch your crystal; distinguish, in the fog, the


Earth. Distinguish, now, the tall and golden Spiers, the
seat of the
ancient gods. See the domes that greet the sunrise
Sun. See the lifeless streets. Careful! Someone

89

keep watch, don't let him see you, hide yourself.


Look closely at the mighty and gloomy Temples
where eons ago the ancient Gods chanted their Dark Ones
Vital ceremonies.

Watch everything closely, as soon your being


he will be terrified by that immemorial majesty. And then
you will have to take your eyes off the ancient Abode
Divine and you will fall prostrate and without strength,
but rich
of the experience given by the vision. Put it to good use!
And then
you will perform the Dho-Nha Formula.

90
VII

The Seventh Gate

I am Shub-Niggurath, the Lord of this place.

It's nowhere here, it's just an illusion,


an illusion created by the corners where the mind reigns.
10 I am the God of Eternal Infinite, everything bends to
my will. What is straight becomes curved, up to
become a point.

I can fulfill every wish because it doesn't matter


exists, everything boils down to a single act of will, but
as long as you are made of matter this is a Law
which is not accessible to you.

My world is a single act, an infinite bending


towards the inland.

Now I will tell you about how you can penetrate the Most
Holy
Receptacle of the Gods, the Divine City, immersed in the
earth
between the two Poles, visible and invisible.

The Dho-Nha Formula


93

You will have to pay great attention when traveling the


City of the Gods, in fact, there are the dangerous men
lurking
Guardians who protect it from any desecration. If them
dating for you is the end, it is certain death; except you
don't
you show them the Holy Sign of the Old Gods, the salute
of the Righteous Lords of the Triple Mantle. It can't do
you
be given either you know it or you don't know it. This
distinguishes the divine lineage.

I, here, will reveal to you the Formula called Dho-Nha, e


through it you can access the fabulous City of the
ancient gods.
The Dho-Nha Formula is actually very simple.

The Dho-Nha Formula

Prepare yourself by performing the Formula Dho. Once


seen
the City do not linger your gaze in it. Project the
your 'spirit' beyond the multicolored lines that separate
the
Worlds, and you will find yourself in the Primal Place of
Knowledge.

Do what you must do and do not delay


uselessly in that place forgotten by time. Come back
immediately to your world, as it forces you
they will abandon quickly, sucked by the stone that
makes up the city.

The longer you stay, the more you will be chained by it.
This is what you need to know about the Dho-Nha
Formula.

94

Cowardly

The Eighth Gate


I am Azathoth, the Lord of this place.

I am all forms, all forms are One.

Creation is a single line and its continuous


evolution.

Everywhere I look I see myself.

Life is a Symbol; there is a force in this Symbol


such that nothing can stop the will to be, when it is
come to maturity.

I am everywhere when I stretch out my limbs


I can reach one end of the universe and the other.

I am relegated down here to serve the manifestation


of this world, but nothing has the power to imprison me;
actually they are everywhere, it is a game of mirrors, one
of
facing each other gives a wrong perception of reality.

I am the Almighty.

Now I will tell you about how to absorb mental energy in


the
your physical body and how to use it to transform you
itself into another entity, ready to travel everywhere
of the created and uncreated universe.

97

Of the operative techniques inherent to the Force from


issue on particular occasions and more precisely
to use it in the search for the Righteous Lords
Here I will tell you about how to absorb mental energy
into the
your physical body.

Accumulation of mental energy within the body


physicist

Draw on yourself Five Capital Lines


importance; they will have to divide your body into five
set off. Each of these lines is assigned one of the
Five Stations where the Righteous Lords lived at the time
of their greatest brilliance.

Once this is done, lie down, place your head towards the
North, in
direct communication with energy waves that
they will invade your Temple. From this moment and for
five periods (five to ten minutes) you will have a
arrangement the entire universe in the form of energy
from
absorb.

Conclude by thanking the Righteous Lords, from Three


times
colorful Cloak, at each of the Five Stations them
own.

Here I will tell you about how to use mental energy for
transform yourself into another entity, ready to travel in
every part of the created and uncreated universe.

Use of mental energy in the form of entities

Create a 'double' of yourself, in yourself; form a


Three-times-Great-Design, project your 'double' into it
and advances decisively beyond the Great Portal of the
City of the

ancient gods.
The Thrice-Great-Design

Lose yourself in the magnificence of what you don't


understand.
Now you are Lord of everything you see and do, but that
is not you
it will be enough since you don't have an end like this
doesn't
that is around you.

To re-enter your physical body just think about


what were you. It is enough for you to know this.
IX

The Ninth Gate

The Ninth Gate you will meet. It is divided into seven


divisions.

Larvae, Ghosts, Ghosts, Elemental Spirits, Nightmares e


Succubus, Demons, Dogs of Reason

In the first division you will meet the Larvae and in the
according to the Ghosts. In the third division you will
meet the
Ghosts and in the fourth the Elemental Spirits. In the fifth
division you will meet the Incubi and the Succubus. In the
sixth
division you will meet the Demons and in the seventh the
Dogs of
Reason.

Larvae

Larvae nothing but Larvae!

Larvae... derived from Souls that have disintegrated.


Ghosts

103
two from the Sylph)

This is a world of melancholy.

We have been, but we can no longer be.

We are echoes of what we were.

Ghosts

Here we reign and there is no possibility of exchange with


the
previous world. We know a union with that
world can be harmful to the world of the living.

These are our homes, these are ours


graves.
The energy that is here is an energy of death that
corrodes.

Elemental Spirits

Gnomes.

I am very busy!

Indeed, I prefer your world. It's easier for


you humans see us gnomes rather than other spirits
elementary because in truth we love immensely the
your world and seek contacts with it.

Ondine.

We can go from this world to yours and from


yours to return to ours. Here we gather, but
we draw power from your world.
Sylphs and Sylphs.

We were born here and here we come to rest. But we


we need your world to be alive.

We rest here, but if we stay too long in


this world our energies definitely come
consumed.

(The first sentence is uttered by the Sylph, while the


others

Salamanders.

I live in fire, but have a secret love for air.


The air allows me to grow, but my element
the fire remains.
Your human affairs are of no interest to me.

Incubus and Succubus

Here the curse reigns supreme, it is our ally and


it manifests itself in various forms.

We prefer the night. The black of the night hides us,


but we can also act during the day. But if we act
day our appearance can change. We hire various
forms.

Now we say this: the access channel to yours


world, quick and fast that you may not even have idea, it
is
the mind of humans. So dark, like us, in
effects, we are.

Now we leave you, we have to do, we have victims from


find.
(The sentences are uttered, simultaneously, by the
Nightmare
and by the Succuba)

Demons

We observe everything and we penetrate everything, too


now I see you and I scrutinize you.

We are many, everyone is different and has one


own characteristic.

You hate us, but you are fascinated by us, you are deluded
about
have power over us, but for us this is indifferent.

We serve higher purposes, we scrutinize and


we put man in front of his own limits.
We give voice and body to the inner demons of each

104

105

man, of whatever nature they are, but we are not


we frighten those who know how to observe us and give
us the right answer
gratitude.

Dogs of Reason

We bring the madness.


We feed on you, ours is an atavistic instinct and
blind, you cannot reason with us.

We only exist for one reason, to feed on you.

You can't go beyond here, not because it isn't there


nothing else, but because you are not allowed to enter.
Backward, don't advance!

If you enter, you will never leave again, the straight line
of
your world would definitely turn into a
circle, without beginning without end, and from here you
could no longer
go out.

The first world is behind that door, but not there


I recommend going in because otherwise this place (le
seven divisions) would become for you from finite to
infinite.
