The Book of Onei is an antinomian dream grimoire, providing deceptive yet true information about the art of Oneiromancy or dream magic in the form of poetry, fantasy, and intentionally ambiguous instructions.
Burn the appropriate candle and recite this prayer when you leave an offering to the powers:
This hungry pit shall open wide
And gorge on meat and wine.
These flames will burn as night-clouds turn
To watch this work of mine.
This shaft will gape so none escapes
Its toothless maw tonight.
While blue-white stars look down in awe
To see the flames so bright.
Oh gods of endless space and sky,
Oh gods of underneath,
Oh gods who live and gods who die
And gods who wait beneath,
Accept these morsels from my hand,
Drink deep, and eat your fill.
I seek no benefits tonight
Unless you share my will.
– from The Book of Onei, Part 1: The Art of Night Wandering
