The Summoning of Pharol
Pharol, black demon of trans-terrene spheres,
Of ultra-cosmic gulfs that lie beyond
The suns and worlds of mundane, angled space,
I summon thee by dark Pnakotic Rites
From whatsoever sun or alien world
Wherein thou currently dost hap to dwell,
Whether in Ares, Yaksh or Cykranosh,
Or even transstellar Yith, Xiccarph or Tond.
Then, when within my pentacle appears
The flame-limned lineaments of thy dark face
Ascowl with menacing cycloptic eye,
Seek not with frightful mind-deluding spell
Nor gnashing fangs and threatening serpent-arms
Nor sensual, distracting dream-delights,
To swerve me from my gnosis-seeking course.
But know, O Pharol, that no information
Would I of thee by thaumaturgic force
Extort with either Yggrr Incantation
Or Scarlet Sign - save with extreme regret.
For thou and I, Black Demon, share the strange,
Fell destiny of all who wend their way
With willful course inexorably set
For the black gulfs that separate the suns
To seek those darkling worlds wherein lie hidden
The ancient secret gods have long forbidden.
