The “inferior moon-pools” are, by implication, related to Leng and to the Mongol Current, if the initial supposition be correct concerning Leng’s locus on or near the Sino-Tibetan border. The verse number yields but a single clue; 8=Bah, a term designating the inundation of the Nile, which is a mystical euphemism for the lunar flood. Bah is also the name of the god eaten by the Shining Ones who dwell with hidden faces in the Temple of the Beetle. Could this be another hint at a conflict between the Children of Isis (beetle-things) and the Deep Ones, the “webbed-footed things” (batrachian) that claimed Awryd?Go Kenneth, Go.

The eleven Power Zones of the Tree of Life in relation to the Necronomicon Mythos and Mauve-zone Magick, showing Planetary and Chromatic attributions, associated Esoteric functions, and Totemic Symbols. These correspondences are not in any sense absolute, and vary in detail as required by specific Occult workings.
Existing between the realms of dreaming and dreamless
“Oblique to the paths that give on to other dimensions, and beyond them, there lies a region which the author has named the Mauve Zone. Mystics, magicians, sorcerers, alchemists, artists of many kinds have – over the centuries – skirted it, stumbled upon it, and fled from it. Very few have penetrated beyond it and survived, or cared to leave any record of the experience. Those that did, have had to present their accounts as fiction or discover a new means of communication – via weird art, symbols, hieroglyphics, signs which fellow pilgrims alone might recognise”
“Art, in the true and vital sense, is an instrument, a magical machine, a means of occult exploration whichcan project the seer into the realm of the Unseen, and launch the waking mind into theseas of subconsciousness. The power of seeing the unseen, the unnoticed, of knowing the unknown, is the supreme gift of art.”
