Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who tresspass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Discussion

• heaven

distant-SUPER … ‘the highest’. See also ‘holy’ meaning ‘separated’

• evil

Cultists do not know good versus evil; they only know reality versus imagination and lies. Their perspective is entirely material. The ‘order’ of the Cthulhuverse is beyond human comprehension, and inherently hostile to human life, but it is nevertheless an ordering of things, and to know the truth is inherently good (as we would say).

Morality in the real world comes from God, but God is not real in the Cthulhuverse (although it’s logically impossible that God not be real, we are just pretending for the sake of the story). The “creator god” is Azathoth, who is ironically a creative form of chaos itself. But creation flows from him, order and negentropy flows from him, the universe and all that is in it flow from him, and in this sense he is the highest order of the world.

• amen

In the old Hebrew, ‘amen’ means ‘so be it’, hence “may it be realized”.

Ave Maria

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Latin

Suscipe, Domine, universam meam libertatem. Accipe memoriam, intellectum, atque voluntatem omnem. Quidquid habeo vel possideo mihi largitus es; id Tibi totum restituo, ac Tuae prorsus voluntati trado gubernandum. Amorem Tui solum cum gratia Tua mihi dones, et dives sum satis, nec aliud quidquam ultra posco. Amen.

English

Receive, O Lord, all my liberty.
Take my memory, understanding and entire will.
Whatever I have or possess, You have given me;
I restore it all to You,
and surrender it wholly to be governed by Your will.
Give me love, for You alone along with your grace,
and I am rich enough, and ask for nothing more.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-9

Two translations are provided below for comparison.

Douay

1. All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.
2. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.
3. A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build.
4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
5. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
6. A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.
7. A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.
8. A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace.
9. What hath man more of his labour?

Knox

1. Everything must be done by turns; no activity, here beneath the heavens, but has its allotted time for beginning and coming to an end.
2. Men are born only to die, plant trees only to displant them.
3. Now we take life, now we save it; now we are destroying, now building.
4. Weep first, then laugh, mourn we and dance;
5. the stones we have scattered we must bring together anew; court we first and then shun the embrace.
6. To-day’s gain, tomorrow’s loss; what once we treasured, soon thrown away;
7. the garment rent, the garment mended; silence kept, and silence ended;
8. love alternating with hatred, war with peace.
9. For all this toiling of his, how is man the richer?

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink beneath the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.

Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.

Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.

Song of my soul, my voice is dead;
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
