~ The Codicil Coetus ~         Bound of black leather, braces with brass accoutrements

The Codicil Coetus - or Assembled Addendum - is a foul accumuly of Great Olden-Ones lore, and must upon all occasions be attended by one or more star charm. What is gathered together within might never sit easily in the fields of Man, but remains a polluted learning forever coveted by Man. For the Codicil Coetus is the First and Second Codicils of the Bifurcate Addendum bound as one. It should be known that for many a good reason were the books of the Bifurcate Addendum bound under separate covers, for when the lore of the individual books are placed together, mischief and ill-happenstance will occur unprompted and unforeseen. The adepts works will be seen to flounder and fail and dark imps will manifest unbidden. Thuswise is a star charm permanently chained to the tome, and in this fabrication is carved from the horn of the Dox and is termed here; The Astrum Fascinum. It is by this charm alone that the adept is seen to calm and quiesce the foulness within.

This hand crafted, leather bound volume numbers in excess of 200 pages and is of the proportions approximating 185mm (7 1/4”) x 230mm (9”) x 55mm (2 1/4”) thick. As with the books of the Bifurcate Addendum, the strappings of its outer coverings are of solid brass

To contain the gathered evil within, the Astrum Fascinum is chained                                         to the spine

        "An' in thine Book, does not the all of this be writ with full intent for contrived converse an' commerce, raising an' manifestation of things inimical, an' whereat do we not fulminate an' concentrate an' paw with singular intent an' urge? An' does not the sigil, not least to say also written term there inscribed, possess of more import than that as simply uttered. By the all of the afore said, rather do ask how such an volume might not be imbue of an locus of dark intent."                                  

                     How it Might be as That an Spirit Might Inhabit of
                     an Book. For ifn an Name in an Book does so be
                     Invest of an Cogency, why not that Selfsame Book?

Inner Pages

  Included within the confines of its bindings the seeker will encounter a veritable plethora of alien scrip, signs and sigils, all full of the secret mechanisms of the cosmic disorder. What are these secrets? Can a translation be found? Well .... only him with an "book" might stand chance to so fathom.

The name of Zuh Math Atos (blind His eyes) must always be spoke                          with the Astrum Fascinum at hand.

"Sorstorth G'ai G'ai Fataganey Cootalsorim Sortoth'th"                                      So it does be said.

Of the contours an outlines, them as were stable, did present as an open book upon an plinth. Through the haze of mine afflictions, distantly did fall to mine ears through the closed an’ barred door to mine rear, the remote chaunting of the Brothers. A mere whisper of words, but a roar of implication.  Of them words? but a simple phrase. Of their import; “…. turn the page”.
