HPL in 'The Dunwich Horror' attributes this quote to the Necronomicon: "Nor is it to be thought, that man is either the oldest or the last of Earth's masters, or that the common bulk of life and substance walks alone. The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, the Old Ones shall be not in the spaces we know but between them, They walk serene and primal undimensioned and to us unseen. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He Knows where the Old Ones broke Through of old, and Where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no man can behold Them as They tread. By their smell can men sometimes know them near, but of their semblance can no man know, saving only in the featurs of those They have begotten on mankind; and of those are there many sorts, differing in likeness from mans truest eidolon to that shape without sight or substance which is Them. They walk unseen and foul in lonely places where the Words have been spoken and the Rights howled through at their seasons...Yog-Sothoth is the key to the gate whereby the spheres meet. Man rule now where They rule once; They shall soon rule where man rule now. After summer is winter, after winter summer. They wait patient and potent, for here they shall reign again".

III. Khranmirh (The Fire Star)

This chapter instructs on the performance of the Ritual of Aangohr, which serves to astrally open the Gate of Yog-Sothoth. "If you gaze beyond the stars, the night when the moon is black and weeps in red, you shall see the formless fire above them. You shall then know what you must do. But beware!" The reader is addressed as the Lord of the Hundred Living Flames (the creator spirits, the essence of purest Divinity, whom it is dangerous to defy, although a fool may be pitied by the Gods). "For he is the Guardian of the Threshold, and the Threshold. He knows from whence they came aforetime, and when he finds the key, the gate shall open. Open the gate! Invoke him! Be him!")
