He, the Voice of the Gods, was growing in Strength and Wisdom and wanted to acquire Dreadful Secret hidden behind the other side of the Stars. He arrived at the foot of the Mountain. He asked for a Sign and Triple Sword forged of steel was hurled above Him, and stuck before his feet. He, anchored, proceeded with ascent. When He reached the Top he found Nuhr and He refused Him. Then Nyarlathotep Seven Times said double Word of Secret power: Yach-Dahn. This Word is Hidden in enchanted Forest, in deepest Kingdom of Dream, where everything Is and Is Not. From that World there is no escape. Only Way towards the exit is to confront Mysterious Guardian who is Hidden on the other side of Abyss across the Fire Star. And He rose in all His Might and confronted the young God who wanted to obtain the Secret known as the Seal of OTH. But God blew it all away with an Enchantment and the Guardian drew back. And He, astride the Shantak, crossed the Bridge of Infinity and, brandishing the Flaming Sword, his symbol, He passed through the Great Door of Black Stone. And He saw the Seal, Mighty, Flaming, Destructive. And a Voice full of Majesty was heard, coming from the Center of Infinite Nothingness. Thundering, Booming, like a Flaming Dart thrown across the Skies, Great Nadur broke forth in all His Glory. And He bestowed on the young God who came to this point, the Great Seal. A lightning flashed in Nyarlathotep's mind. And He was Created, Impregnated by Himself. In front of Him the Eons were promulgated. And in front of Him, Nadur spoke Their Names, and thus the Circle of the Gods was created. And Their Kingdom shall last by Day and Night into Infinity." (Frank G. Ripel: The Magick of Atlantis: Sauthenerom, the Source of the Necronomicon)
nights + [tauf] → "There exists in a remote part of the magickal universe a place from which emanates the magickal web-work of the transcendental id. This realm is entirely within the body of the Mother Spider, and hence is derived from the internal interactions of the kalas of her own magickal anatomy. Within this sphere of magick, as there are so many magickal forms of monadic and auric eggs resting, rise all of the several powers of the divine fire of chaos... So let the seeker after the mysteries come to the hyper-ideal spaces of the mysteries where the ophidian magick is lived and forms the basis of all existence. Let such a son of the fire return to the place of primeval chaos, which the gods call "the seat of the gnosis". There in that realm the doors will open without command because they know who is approaching." (Michael Bertiaux: The Voudun Gnostic Workbook).
