RITUAL ARTIFACTS & POWERS OF THE ART
AMULETS -- Doctor Strange has possessed 2 amulets of Light and Truth
ST 110 --- the first one, the Enchanted Amulet
ST 111 --- was also called the All-Seeing Eye
ST 120 --- and was used as a 3rd eye
ST 123 --- it could create a "protective shield".
ST 127 --- the second amulet was given to Dr. S. by the A.O.
ST 130 --- it also can create a shield called an "ionic screen"
ST 136 --- the light produced by the amulet was originally said to "come from"
the All-Seeing Eye of Agamotto
ST 138 --- the second amulet had been given to the A.O. by Eternity
ST 141 --- and was called the Mystic Eye
ST 143 --- it has both a "spiritual" and a "physical" form
ST 145 --- the 3rd eye form came to be called the All-Seeing Eye of Agamotto
ST 149 --- then the Amulet itself was called the Amulet of Agamotto
DS 177 --- the Eye can travel through dimensions on errands;
since that time its name & attributes have remained fixed.A note on the real-world origins of this amulet: Steve Ditko apparently got the idea for the visual look of the Amulet of Agamotto from a fairly common kind of amulet found in the Buddhist regions of Northern India. Called "The Eye of Buddha," it is a pendant, worn on a necklace cord as an apotropaic charm to ward off the Evil Eye (Mal Occhio) and to protect the bearer from misfortune. Around the eye itself, which is generally made of a type of brown-and-white ringed agate stone called "eye agate," there is a circle of sixteen smaller circular bosses -- which on close inspection prove to be representations of small snail shells. These refer to a celebrated incident in the life of Buddha when he became engrossed in meditation while sitting in the hot sun and was in danger of dying from heatstroke until a band of devoted snails crawled up onto his head and gave their lives by secreting mucus until they had cooled his head. Statues and paintings of Buddha seated in meditation with what apears to be a strange hair-do of tight little curls all over his head are actually examples of "snail-headed Buddha" and the eye charm shown here also reverentially immortalizes the sainted land-mollusks, known affectionately as the Snail Martyrs.
The scripter Stan Lee, probably not familiar with Steve Ditko's visual sources, first called this item "the Enchanted Amulet," but that was a too-generic name, so he changed it to the "All-Seeing Eye," in reference to conventional European images of the eye of Jehovah, the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian creator-god. Jehovah is often depicted as a single eye looking down from the heavens, but never shown surrounded by sixteen circular snail-shells, as is the Eye of Buddha. Early issues of Dr. Strange often display this cultural tug-of-war, with Ditko referencing Indian, Tibetan, and Nepalese religio-magical images, in keeping with the character's origin story, and Lee bringing in European-sounding names as he scripted over Ditko's stories.
Eventually the Jewish-Christian-Islamic "All-Seeing Eye" was re-named the "Mystic Eye"; later still it came to be identified with another Ditko creation, the Orb of Agamotto (a crystal ball), and henceforward it was known as the "Amulet of Agamotto," although fans generally refer to it as the "Eye of Agamotto."
(Thanks to Denis McFarling for the drawing of the Amulet of Agamotto.

ST 118 --- Originally it was a world globe which could be used to pinpoint
outbreaks of evil magic -- it was called The Earthly Scanner
ST 125 --- While still a world globe, it was called the Eye of Agamotto
ST 132 --- also the Eternal Eye and the Orb of Agamotto.
ST 141 --- one other name was the Mystic Globe
ST 147 --- It was called the Crystal of Agamotto & from that time on it has
been a crystal ball
MP 3 --- Dr. Strange broke it once in the realm of N.M.
MP 5 --- but Clea restored it
DS 1 --- It acquired a new holder of twisted metal
DS 28 --- and later appeared on a pedestal of stone without a holder
DS 1 --- There is an "unreal" subjective dimension inside the Orb
TOD 44, DS 14 --- and it can be used to store bodies in also.11

ST 148 --- Kaluu's Crystal Ball
ST 162 --- Mordo's Enchanted Globe
DS 175 --- the Satan-Sphere -- an extra-large crystal used by the S.of S.

Unausprechlichen Kulten are in the public library at Statesboro, Vermont.

MP 5 --- The Nekronomicon (one copy of it, that is) is in the Vatican Library
MP 12 --- The Book of Cagliostro, dealing with all the secrets of time, was owned
by Lilias & stolen by Mordo
ANN 1 --- The Book of Continuous Writing at the Temple of Man records
all events which transpire there.12
There are numerous WANDS, SCEPTORS, and RODS --ST 116 --- The Mystic Prod a.k.a. Rod-Wand is owned by N.M.
ST 129 --- The Wondrous Wand of Tiboro produces an "ectoplasmic ray" --
DS 178 --- but it was apparently destroyed by the Black Knight.
SP Ann. 2 --- The Wand of Watoomb is a two-faced dorje "from another dimension";
DS 179 --- Dr.S drains its power into the Eye of Agamotto.
[A note on the real-world origins of this amulet: Steve Ditko may have gotten the idea for the visual look of the Wand of Watoomb from a popular regious tool found in Nepal and Tibet. Called a dorje (or vajra in Hindi), it represents a thunderbolt from heaven and symbolized spiritual power. It is handled and carried by priests of the indigenous Bon religion and by lamas of Tibetan Buddhism (a religion that blendsIndian Buddhism with Bon) during worship services. ] .ST 162 --- The Staff of Polar Power, owned by Nebulos, was captured by the Living

ST 167 --- The Transhypnotic Jewel is both a dimension-spanning device & a link to
one's dimension. It was owned by the A.O. and has the power to
transform matter into imagination. (see dimensions)
DS 31 --- The Eye of Zartra, an enchanted "eldritch gem" is plucked by Prince Namor I
from the
DS 32 -- Sword of Kamuu (thus halving its power) and given as a token of friendship
to Dr.S.
CANDLES have magical properties. --ST 112 --- A Paralyzing Vapour Candle is used by Mordo -- if allowed to burn itself
out, the victim dies; if it is snuffed, the victim lives.
ST 124 --- candles can be used for time travel
ST 150 --- and it is implied that they then partake of the flames of the Faltine.13
The "Voodoo"-like use of DOLLS or MODELS is not uncommon --ST129 --- The Screaming Idol, effigy of Tiboro found in Peru, transports people to
the 6th dimension.
ST 115 --- Mordo conjures the Vapours of Valtorr around a statue of the A.O.
DS 169 --- Note: in another version of this story, the doll does not appear &
the vapors have been replaced by the Flames of the Faltine. This later
version is corrupt however, as the Faltine were not mentioned until
ST 142! This error is attributable to the scribe R.T.'s having misplaced
his spectacles.

by means of a model.

DS 1 --- Silver Dagger's Silver Dagger, which can pierces auras. it is "enchanted."
DS 31 --- the Sword of Kamuu, an Atlantean artifact, wielded by Alaric until his defeat
DS 32 --- due to the sword's curse on those who injure Atlanteans. Namor I gains
possession of it. (see JEWELS -- Eye of Zartra)
MAGICAL MISCELLANY --ST 127 --- The Cloak of Levitation, owned by Dr.S., was a gift from the A.O.

DS 172 --- and has "powers independent of" its owner.

ENCHANTMENTS, SPELLS &
INVOCATIONS OF THE VISHANTIThe task of indexing the rhymed & unrhymed spells given in The Book of the Vishanti & collected from other sources is beyond the reach of the present author. A more or less chronological order is therefore followed and marginal notes establish whether the incantation falls into one of the following rather broad categories:
Conjurations
Banishments
Control over the Minds or Bodies of Others
Time -- Distortion and Travel
Space -- Dimensional Travel, Teleportation, Levitation
Miscellaneousand further specify the exact nature of the spell.
Two families of spells are also given an additional notation:
Unrhymed spells are given in plain text, rhymed spells in italics.
- Sat-Van Spells are a rhymed sub-set of Banishments in which the words "Satannish" and "vanish" appear at the ends of lines.
- Whence Spells are a sub-set of Banishments that contain the phrase "get thee back from whence thou came" or a recognizable variant thereof.
Unless the incantation was made by Dr. Strange the speaker is also indicated by a marginal note.
Initials appearing in conjunction with title and issue numbers are those of the scripter.

Omnipotent Oshtur, hear my plea --
as I will, so mote it be![Note: A reference to Freemasonry and its linguistic, if not philosophical, derivative, Gardnerian Wicca.]

may the powers of darkness
lie scattered and broken!
CY Control: Sap Another's Strength (Sat-Van Spell)
By the loathsome mark of the Yellow Sign
my power shall grow & yours decline --
my strength shall wax and yours shall vanish --
I command -- in the name of Supreme Satannish![Note: A reference to a favourite fantasy-horror book, "The King in Yellow" by Robert W. Chambers, as well as a demonstration of how one might vary the all-too-predictable Sat-Van Spell formula by reversing the positions of the words "Satannish" and "vanish."]
CY Misc.: "The Emerald Law"
In Hermes' name -- as above so below
by Faltine's Flame -- it must be so![Note: A reference to The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismagistis.]

no bonds can hold me -- I am free![Note: A demonstration of quartain form, varying from the usual couplets employed by the scripters.]
CY Conjure: Light
Gather darkness, stars like dust --
dream questers do that which they must --
begone, ye demons of the night --
Agamotto -- light! More light![Note: A reference to three favourite science fiction and fantasy tales of my youth ("Gather Drakness" by Fritz Leiber, "The Stars Like Dust" by Isaac Asimov, and "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" by H. P. Lovecraft), as well as a nod to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's famous Freemasonic last words.]
71 {{Volume One, MS. Page 50}}
CY Conjure: Rings of Raggadorr

by her death in the Strangling Sands --

Watoomb, lift us from this place![Note: A reference to some of my favourite stories by H. P. Lovecraft and Fritz Leiber.]
CY --- Conjure: Mystic Bonds ("The Spell of Seven Sevens")
By all the seven deaths Satannish brings
my foe encased in seven crimson Bands!
Encircle him with seven roving rings!
As seven seas do circumscribe the lands!
By seven darkly shadowed Seraphim
whose seven veils the secret sigils hide --
these powers shall enshroud & prison him
'til seven seals at last shall open wide![Note: The comic book scripters made no use of conventional real-world magical number symbolism, so i demonstrated here how it might be done.]
CY Conjure: Visions in an Orb
Ningauble of the Seven Eyes
and Sheelba of the eyeless face --
let Agamotto's orb now rise
revealing truth, by Oshtur's grace![Note: More Friz Leiber.]
