Aklo Language

A manuscript left by a dead girl was full of secrets, but she considered "the way to make the Aklo letters" a secret that she "must not write down" [AM White2 (online text)].

In the church of the Starry Wisdom Sect on Sentinel Hill, Providence, Robert Blake found a a small leather-bound record-book written in traditional symbols from astronomy, astrology, alchemy, and other dubious arts. Blake later determined that the text was an encrypted version of the dark Aklo language used by certain cults of evil antiquity, and known to him in a halting way through previous researches. Apparently the book referred to a Haunter of the Dark that could be awakened by gazing into the Shining Trapezohedron. [HPL Haunter (online text)]

While staying in the ruins of the van der Heyl house in Chorazin, New York, Alonzo Typer wrote in his diary of a malevolent presence in the house. He wrote that "It towers like a colossus, bearing out what is said in the Aklo writings." In the the attic, Typer found a strange book that contained variants of the Aklo formulae which he had never known to exist. One of these was the third Aklo ritual, which Typer believed would make such beings solid and visible. [HPL Diary (online text)]
