HIS is the Book of the Conjuration of the Watcher, for formulae as I received them from the Scribe of ENKI, Our Master and Lord of All Magick. Great care must be taken that this untamed Spirit does not rise up against the Priest, and for that reason a preliminary sacrifice must be made in a clean and new bowl with the appropriate sigils inscribed thereupon, being the three grey carven signs of the Rock of my initiation, which are:
They must be engraved upon the bowl with a fine
stylus, or painted thereon with dark ink. The sacrifice must be new
bread, pine resin, and the grass Olieribos. These must be burned in the
new bowl, and the Sword of the Watcher, with his Sigil engraved
thereupon, at hand, for he will inhabit such at the time of the Calling
of the Watcher and will depart when he is given license to depart.
The Watcher comes from a Race different from that of
Men and yet different from that of the Gods, and it is said that he was
with KINGU and his hordes at the time of the War between the Worlds, but
was dissatisfied and did cleave unto the Armies of Lord MARDUK.
Wherefore it is wise to conjure It in the Names of
the Three Great Watchers Who existed before the Confrontation from whose
borne the Watcher and His Race ultimately derive, and those Three are
ANU, ENLIL, and Master ENKI of the Magick Waters. And for this reason
They are sometimes called the Three Watchers, MASS SSARATI and the
Watcher MASS SSARATU, or KIA MASS SSARATU.
And the Watcher appears sometimes as a great and
fierce Dog, who prowls about the Gate or the Circle, frightening away
the idimmu who forever lurk about the barriers, waiting for sacrifice.
And the Watcher aloft the Sword of Flames, and even the Elder Gods are
awed thereby. And sometimes the Watcher appears as a Man in A long Robe,
shaven, with eyes that never lose their stare. And the Lord of the
Watchers dwells, it is said, among the Wastes of the IGIGI, and only
Watches and never raises the Sword or fights the idimmi, save when the
Covenant is invoked by none less than the Elder Gods in their Council,
like unto the Seven Glorious APHKHALLU.
And sometimes the Watcher appears as the Enemy, ready
to devour the Priest who has erred in the incantations, or omitted the
sacrifice, or acted in defiance of the Covenant, for which acts the very
Elder Gods cannot forbid that silent Race from exacting its toll. And
it is said that some of that Race lie waiting for the Ancient Ones to
once more rule the Cosmos, that they may be given the right hand of
honour, and that such as these are lawless. This is what is said.
