THE NAILS OF STHAL

The Forbidden Passions Of

Xathagorra and Barbelzoa
by ALLEN MACKEY

Note: Fred C. Adams had invented the Chaos-Spawn, Xathagorra, for

his Cthulhu Mythos fiction during the 1970s. We teasingly learn very
little about the Son of Azathoth. Serious researchers have poured over
the five extracts of the Translations of the Book of Yng for
decades. Since then, other elements have come to light. The annals of
the Elder Lore have expanded in unexepected ways and now provide
us with highly-coveted glimpses into many hitherto unknown tomes,
such as The Nails of Sthal, which was actually by Adam Qade--or
channeled by him, as it was transmitted from a lone, nameless Priest
of Chaos. *
Xathagorra is the First Son of Chaos and the Master of the Azathii.
Barbelzoa Beloved is the only daughter of Azathoth, who sits upon the
left hand of the throne. "She, the twin shining stars, nothing could
approach the center." (From "The Goddess Barbelzoa" by the
excellent Lovecraftian female poet from Europe who goes under
multiple aliases, including Sicky666 and, formerly, Zoth Ommog.)
I also found references to both Xathagorra and Barbelzoa from the
occult collection of Adam Qade, which I had inherited three years ago.
It was only after I re-read the notes of Fred C. Adams, along with
Adam Qade's work, that I realized exactly what was happening in
some of the newly-translated texts from the Book of Yng (Chapter
IL). See for yourself:
"Xathagorra and his wife, Barbelzoa, begat the Seeds of Chaos in the
secret name of Azathoth; and then did Barbelzoa lay with whomever
she wanted, for Xathagorra did not care. Indeed, the more who slept
with her, the better, Xathagorra considered. The less that he would
have to do in the wholeness of time..."
Adam Qade had also written:
"Xathagorra had always fucked his sister, even whilst they were
mewling efts who had been ejected from the Nuclear Chaos that is (a
part of) Azathoth. On their "wedding" night the entire congregation
of the Courts of Chaos took turns with the lovely bride, Barbelzoa.
This was at Xathagorra's insistence, and there was not one present
who was not related to Barbelzoa, and all took multiple turns fucking
her. As to exactly why the Great Old Ones seem to favor such vile and
repugnant acts of incest, I do not know. What I do know is that Their
ways are not our ways."
So that's where that matter stands, for the moment.
Commentary: For some reason, at first I did not realize that the Dark
Goddess named Barbelzoa was a direct Spawn of Azathoth, despite
the description of Sicky666 in her wonderful verses. Then, when I
found Adam's essay on the subject, I finally understood the sick
connection with Xathagorra. Much like the ancient Egyptians and
their gods (and the gods of other pantheons as well--but probably for
different reasons), the Great Old Ones do not have the same
repugnant views on incest as we Earth-humans. In fact, considering
the fissionous copulations of Cthulhu among his siblings, and also of
Shub-Niggurath, and many more, we can easily begin to discern the
darksome patterns favored by the Many-Angled Ones, and of the
unspeakable lineage of Eldritch incest at work.
[This area of research disturbed me, and I almost did not publish it.
Yet in the end the Truth Shall Set You Free; I believe that however
dark the scholarship often becomes, it is too important to censor. And
it only reinforces what was already present behind the veils of the
Cthulhu Mythos.]

* The present chapter is more commentary, both by Qade and myself,

than any part of the channeled messages from the Priest of Chaos
which been received by Adam Qade in 2014. The original text is very
sparse, and has been enhanced here with related materials.
