Some tips on contacting the Ancient Ones / Great Old Ones
Tip 1 >
It was given to me some years ago, but I have had no reason to try it practically, nor had a suitable sized big one to work with; that if one was to summon spirits of Chaos such as - Azagthoth, Old Ones, etc; rather than cast a traditional circle, some thing a bit more radical should be employed. Thinking outside of the square/circle, I was told by the Old Ones that a Mandelbrot or Julia Set should be used, and NOT a circle. A website for the Mandelbrot and Julia set is at >
Mandelbrot Set Generator
The Magician stands inside the large dark area of the Mandlebrot and summons the Old One to the smaller dark area inside the perimeter. Circles should not be used, because they relate to The Covenant and are designed to keep such beings away. I can explain more specifics if any want to know through my email below.
Tip 2 >
In useing a board to call in The Old Ones - should THEY wish to communicate with you - use a lettered board ( such as an Ouija board ) with a plate of glass over it, and some olive oil ( no more than a teaspoon ) under an Amber stone which you place your fingers on. The oil will allow the stone to slide easily over the glass plate as a lubricant.
If the stone can be ground and shaped to fit ones fingers all the better - but it has to be made of amber and thsi is the most efficient for such beings. The stone and the oil have to be natural products, with the exception of the younger spawn of the Old Ones who seem to like the metal Titanium. This material I have not tried, but I believe it is because many of them a biomechanical ( robotic machines with a real intellect ) in form, and not full blown flesh and blood as we are.
Placing a seal of the being you want to contact, under the glass plate, will assist in preventing unwanted visitors from gate crashing your conversation, as I have experienced numerous times. You then summon the Old One in as you would any other spirit, but be specific as to who your calling with the apropriate calls and signs. Don't just say "Is anyone there ?" as you might just get "anyone" ! Experienced Magicians should know this. Remember the Old Ones hate humanity with a vengence like no other, and will kill on site if they can do so; especailly if you do not approach handle with caution and due care.
I would be interested in any further comments on this.

invoking the outer horrors
If you are working with a suitably cosmic great old one/ outer god, like Azathoth, Shub Niggurath, or Nyarlathotep, for example and not lesser ones like Cthulhu, Ubbo satthala, and Nyoggtha, it often works to align yourself with them and sort of "become" them, especially in the case of Azathoth. Seeing as how most of them are "idiot gods" they should be used more as a source of power than guidance, with the exception of Nyarlathotep and perhapse Yog Sothoth. And seeing as how the more supreme ones are cosmic and probably far removed from the human experience, they make better archetypes than anything. Hope this helps.
