Anthony Testa - The Key of the Abyss.pdf

While there can be little doubt that the Force encountered by Parsons
was a being from out of the black gulfs 231 which are associated with
the Great Old Ones 232 , incredibly this is supported by the fact that the
only other being out of Lovecraft which matches the Key of Liber 49 is
the cosmic power associated with the Gnostic Demiurge is Azathoth,
described as a being that dwells outside the ordered universe (is) that
amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and
bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan
Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws
hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space
amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin
monotonous whine of accursed flutes 233 . The value of Azathoth 234 in
NAEQ6 is (AZATHOTH = 73)
Name NAEQ6 Aiq Bakir
and words that have the value of
Azathoth 73 1 73 include damned, fates, great,
Byatis 88 7 pit, power and interestingly,
Cthulhu

Ra-hoor-khu. It is thought that
Lovecraft invented the name
Azathoth, but it is also of note that
Hastur 63 9 Lovecraft referred to him as the
Ithaqua 89 8 “Daemon Sultan”, the “blind,
Nodens 71 8 idiot, god Azathoth” and that

Daemon Sultan = 137,
Daemon=74, blind = 65 and
idiot=83 (all of which reduces to
Tsathoggua 105 6 11). I will also mention before

i.e., Transplutonic (Yuggothian) space or Kabbalistically, the Abyss. This may also refer to
Bertiaux’s Universe B or the Tunnels of Set described by Grant.

Though again, as we discussed in The Ordeal of the Abyss, this is only apparent, from the
perspective of the Earth-bound soul. Babalon, of course, dwells in the most rarified of the
Aethyrs.

234 Table 3: I have created a small table of some of the “major” beings in the Mythos for the
interested reader to use as a start for their own researches. Notably, the only being whose
name is “an 11” in Nyarlathotep which is in keeping with his being the GOO (Great Old Ones)
that has direct relations to the Witchcult.
