By Kane. The tiny man told Doctor Wycherly that books such as Magic and Black Arts would not be found lying about in bookstores. [HH Guardian 288]

magic signs

Small stones, marked with a swastika, that once were used by the Old Ones and have power against the Deep Ones. According to Zadok Allen, the Deep Ones said "they cud wipe aout the hull brood o' humans ef they was willin' to bother - that is, any as didn't have sarten signs sech as was used onct by the lost Old Ones, whoever they was" [HPL Innsmouth (online text) 331]. "Obed he faound the island people all wiped aout between v'yages. Seems the other islanders had got wind o' what was goin' on, and had took matters into their own hands. S'pose they must a had, after all, them old magic signs as the sea things says was the only things they was afeard of. No tellin' what any o' them Kanakys will chance to git a holt of when the sea-bottom throws up some island with ruins older'n the deluge... In some places they was little stones strewed abaout - like charms - with somethin' on 'em like what ye call a swastika naowadays. Prob'ly them was the Old Ones' signs" [333]. The Deep Ones could never be destroyed, even though the paleogean magic of the forgotten Old Ones might sometimes check them [367].

These magic signs somewhat resemble star-stones, except that (1) the magic signs are not described as having any particular shape, whether five-pointed or otherwise, (2) the magic signs are marked with swastikas rather than the eye-and-flame sign found on star stones, and (3) the magic signs are credited to the Old Ones rather than the Elder Gods. "Old Ones" is a term with many meanings, but can possibly be taken as referring to the crinoid Old Ones of Antactica; as these Old Ones are known to have battled the spawn of Cthulhu [HPL Mountains (online text) 66, 68], and the Deep Ones are also associated with Cthulhu. (Innsmouth (online text) was written Nov.-Dec. 1931, a few months after Mountains (online text) Feb.-Mar. 1931.)

Magna Mater

Name used in the Roman Empire for the goddess Cybele, of Anatolian origin. "In contrast to her public role as a protector of cities, Cybele was also the focus of mystery cult, private rites with a chthonic aspect connected to hero cult and exclusive to those who had undergone initiation, though it is unclear who Cybele's initiates were. . . Literary sources describe joyous abandonment to the loud, percussive music of tympanon, castanets, clashing cymbals and flutes, and to the frenzied 'Phrygian dancing', perhaps a form of circle-dancing by women, to the roar of 'wise and healing music of the gods'." She was the mother of the god Atys (or Attis). [Cybele, Wikipedia, 11/24/2020]

HPL Rats (online text) 29, 45: Exham Priory stood on the site of a prehistoric temple, which in later Roman times was dedicated to Magna Mater.

HK Hydra (online text) 135: The Romans worshippers of the Magna Mater incorporated into their ritual the mystic adoration, "Gorgo, Mormo, thousand-faced moon." According to Kenneth Scott, this is because the myth of Magna Mater was inspired by a multiheaded entity from Outside, sometimes known as the Hydra.

Magnalia Christi Americana

By Cotton Mather. A history of early New England, including biographies of many ministers. The book quotes Borellus on the subject of the reanimation of the dead; see Borellus. The book also discusses witchcraft in the Second Book, Chapter XII, Section 16 and in the Sixth Book, Chapter VII (titled Thaumatographia Pneumatica).

The Magnalia includes an anecdote that inspired Carter's story "The Attic Window" [HPL Unnameable (online text) 202-204]:

At the southward there was a beast, which brought forth a creature which might pretend to something of an human shape. Now, the people minded that the monster had a blemish in one eye, much like what a profligate fellow in the town was known to have. This fellow was hereupon examined; and upon his examination confess'd his infandous Bestialities; for which he was deservedly executed.
—Magnalia, Book VI, Chapter V, "Historia Nemesios; Relating Remarkable Jedgments of God," in the subsection headed "The Tenth Remark." (Thanks to S. T. Joshi for tracing this reference in the footnotes to his HPL collection, The Dreams in the WitchHouse.)

In a letter to Joseph Curwen, Jebediah Orne referred cryptically to the Magnalia: "But I would have you Observe what was tolde to us aboute tak'g Care whom to calle up, for you are Sensible what Mr. Mather writ in ye Magnalia of ———, and can judge how truely that Horrendous thing is reported." [HPL Case (online text) 138]

Richard Upton Pickman said that Cotton Mather knew things he didn't dare put into the Magnalia [HPL Pickman (online text) 16].

An old man living in an isolated house in the Miskatonic Valley had a rotting, bulky copy of the Magnalia [HPL Picture (online text) 119].

Malik Tawis, Malik Tous

In the religion of the Yazidees (or Yezidees), Melek Taus (literally the "Peacock Angel") is a benevolent being, the chief of the seven archangels created by God to govern the world. Outsiders to the religion, including some Muslims, have interpreted Melek Taus as a fallen spirit or devil. [Melek Taus, Wikipedia, 10/25/2020]

RB Hell (online text) 37.

REH Dig (online text) 79-87: Prof. John Kirowan exclaimed that Malik Tous is the title of the foul god worshipped by the mysterious Yezidees. His symbol is the brazen (that is, brass-colored) peacock. The Mohammedans view him as the Prince of Darkness—Ahriman—the old Serpent—the veritable Satan. In the ritual pronounced over John Grimlan's body, it is stated that "There is but one Black Master though men calle hym Sathanas & Beelzebub & Apolleon & Ahriman & Malik Tous." John Grimlan sold his soul and body to Malik Tous in 1680, and in his will, left his estate and fortune to Malik Tous. A man, apparently a form of Malik Tous himself, appeared at John Grimlan's funeral ritual. He appeared to be an Oriental with vivid, oblique yellow eyes. He wore a yellow, fantastic robe with a black embroidered design somewhat resembling a peacock, a bat, or a flying dragon. After the ceremony ended and the house burst into flame, he was seen hovering over the house in the form of a gigantic black shadow like a monstrous bat, holding the body of John Grimlan in its clutches.

Malleus Maleficarum

"The Malleus Maleficarum, usually translated as the Hammer of Witches, is the best known treatise on witchcraft. It was written by the Catholic clergyman Heinrich Kramer (under his Latinized name Henricus Institoris) and first published in the German city of Speyer in 1486. It endorses extermination of witches and for this purpose develops a detailed legal and theological theory. It has been described as the compendium of literature in demonology of the 15th century. . . The Malleus elevates sorcery to the criminal status of heresy and recommends that secular courts prosecute it as such. The Malleus suggests torture to effectively obtain confessions and the death penalty as the only certain remedy against the evils of witchcraft. At the time of its publication, heretics were frequently punished to be burned alive at the stake and the Malleus encouraged the same treatment of witches. The book had a strong influence on culture for several centuries." [Malleus Maleficarum, Wikipedia]

Uriah Garrison had a copy in his library [AWD Attic 320].

A copy was found in the possessions of the late Asaph Peabody. [AWD Peabody 192]

Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin

A Hebrew phrase quoted by Zadok Allen when describing the Dagon cult at Innsmouth [HPL Innsmouth (online text) 334, 337]. The reference is from Daniel chapter 5, where the story is told how King Belshazzar mocked the beliefs of the Jews by drinking wine from their sacred vessels at a party and praising the gods of the elements from which the vessels were made; and how a hand suddenly appeared and wrote the phrase mene, mene, tekel, upharsin on the palace wall. The prophet Daniel explained the phrase to mean that Belshazzar had been weighed in the balance and found wanting, and that his kingdom would shortly be taken from him. Zadok may have meant that the Dagon cult was comparable to the Babylonians in terms of its depraved practices and pagan nature.

Mnar

A land said to be "still, and remote from most other lands both of waking and of dream" [HPL Doom (online text)]. While the land of Mnar has a dreamlike quality, it seems to have had a physical existence on earth some 10,000 years ago. Thus, we are told that Ib existed long ago in the land of Mnar [Mountains (online text)], and that Sarnath stood in the land of Mnar when mankind was young [Nameless (online text)]. Also, Iranon searched Mnar in vain for his remembered city of Aira, only to discover that Aira was unreachable because it had only ever existed in his dreams. It would seem to follow Mnar was in the waking world [Iranon (online text)].

On the other hand, the men of Inganok in the dreamlands traded onyx to merchants from the cities of Thraa, Ilarnek, and Kadatheron, which were in Mnar [Kadath (online text)].

That idol, enshrined in the high temple at Ilarnek, was subsequently worshipped beneath the gibbous moon throughout the land of Mnar.

[HPL Doom (online text)]

 

Upton Gardner said that he had been to Mnar after he was taken by Nyarlathotep [AWD Dweller].

When Misquamacus returned in the 1920's, he said that he had visited Mnar and Carcosa [AWD Lurker].

Ancient Mnar was the source of star-stones with protective powers [AWD Lurker, Sky].

Note: Iranon (online text) appears to take place in Mnar. Of the following refs in Iranon (online text), the ones marked with asterisks also appear in Doom (online text), a story definitely set in Mnar. Note also that Kadath (online text) does not refer to any of the places mentioned in Iranon (online text), save Lomar and some cities that are in Mnar; that is, Kadath (online text) did not induct this story into dreamland geography, as it did all the other dream tales. The story's theme of the unreality of dreams also argues against its taking place in the land of Dream.
