THE PENNYWISE CODEX

by ALLEN MACKEY

Part One: Introductory Texts


Note: This is a collection of psalms and papers about Stephen King's
Pennywise. Tributes, you could say, for the greatest living American
author of today--! There are prayers and songs both for and against
Pennywise. They are all effective.

Foreword: The Pennywise Papers


Obviously, Pennywise is a powerful archetype of fear. Author
Stephen King made a home run, so to speak, with this literary
creation.

We know that Pennywise is a literary creation of Stephen King. Yet


we also know that King struck a deep, uncomfortable chord with IT.
Pennywise

From an occult viewpoint, IT is perfectly transferable to magical


practices. It is my intention here to prove this fact. All of the prayers
and rites included in this collection are workable. A mere dabbler, or
the curious fan, should most definitely NOT try any of these rites.
Only an experienced magus should try to attempt any of the things
found herein. In fact, most readers should just consider this to ALL
be fiction, and not a working grimoire. Yeah, that's the ticket, it's not
real, it's just fiction....
Introduction: In Tribute to the KING
All of these poems were written in tribute of Stephen King... Stephen
King's acknowledgement of HPL as a literary master won me over at
an early age; my fandom was cemented due to King's early fiction
based in the Cthulhu Mythos. In the spirit of that shared universe (the
Cthulhu Mythos) I am doing this tribute. I am making no money for
this. It is only for the love of the field that I have even bothered to
work on The Pennywise Codex. Regardless, I am firm in my opinion
that Mr. King is perhaps the best living author in America... Maybe
even the entire world! This is for you, Stephen King!

________________________________________________

Part Two: Pennywise's Praises

PENNYWISE THE DANCING CLOWN

Pennywise the Dancing Clown,

Looking up, looking down,

He will eat you, He will eat you,

And you will be lost in the Deadlights.

A POEM TO PENNYWISE

Pennywise, eat my enemy's eyes!


Drown in the children's cries.

Pennywise the Dancing Clown,

Eat them in the sewers underground.

A PRAYER TO PENNYWISE

O great and terrible Pennywise,

Hail to the Deadlights!

Forgive us our arrogance,

And deliver us into

The Consumption that is you,

O mighty one, Pennywise!

THE DEADLIGHTS OF PENNYWISE

The Deadlights. The extradimensional realm from which Pennywise


hails. The Macroverse; whose only other inhabitant is the Great
Turtle. The Deadlights. Consumption. Come here to me, little one.
We float.

Part Three: Rites and Wrongs

PENNYWISE'S LAMENT
O, that I could Eat every last one of you!

O, that my time could be to consume the world!

O, I will devour all of you! Yes, I, BOB!

THE PSALM OF PENNYWISE

O Pennywise from the Dead Lights

The Eater of Worlds, the Derry Disease

Do not come for me or mine

Accept the gift [a stray dog will do]!

THE DEATH-CURSE OF PENNYWISE

Note: This is an actual Death Curse that can be used against your
foes. As a hex, it is astoundingly effective. Be warned, this is no joke!

Pennywise, Pennywise, Pennywise!

Appear before my eyes!

Pennywise, Pennywise, Pennywise!

Let me watch while [name] dies!


Comment: Repeat as often as needed. This is a very powerful chant;
do not use it unless you are prepared to watch your enemies die.

IT'S RITE

This is a brief rite of chaos magic, based on Stephen King's


Pennywise, perhaps better known as IT. The novice should not
attempt this rite, for it invokes the archetypal power of IT into the
magician(s). Homicidal tendencies may follow.*

The celebrant(s) should face the direction of Derry, Maine. At dusk


the work can begin. Accoutrements of the magical variety are not
necessary. When the darkness begins the creep into the soil, intone:

"O Great and Terrible One from the Deadlights, come into flesh of
this one before you! I invoke the essence of darkness to enter my
being, allow me to work your terror in the world of humans! I am
your vessel, O Great IT, come and comsume me! I am yours to
devour, and my flesh is yours to use as you will! Let the world
tremble before the might of Penywise!"

Afterward, if the celebrant(s) are still lucid, banish with laughter. Any
activity as IT is not to be discussed in this or any other document.

* The author of this rite takes no responsibility for the actions of any
reader. For our purposes here, remember that this is fiction.

Part Four: Roland of Eld

Note: Of the duo of poems in this section, the first one, "The Call to
Maturin," is based on Pennywise's arch-nemesis, the Great Turtle
named Maturin. Maturin has a nebulous place within the "same"
universe as Roland of Eld, so they are lumped here together.

THE CALL TO MATURIN

O Maturin, Thou Great Turtle,

Please, I/we beseech you--

Come to my/our aid against IT

Your eternal and mortal enemy;

IT from the Deadlights of the Macroverse.

Maturin, hear my plea!

Come to my/our aid against IT

Protect me/us from PENNYWISE!

A SONG OF ROLAND

Note: This is a short poem I wrote in tribute to Stephen King's epic


inter-dimensional adventure of The Dark Tower series. On another
world in another universe, this song is one of many in a church-like
hymnal devoted to Roland, the Last Gunslinger. I was able to make
out a few of the other songs as well...
O Roland of Eld, what sights have you beheld?

Gunslinger true, following the Man In Black

Across the universes to The Dark Tower

Which thrusts upward at the center of the universe

The Gunslinger must always be obeyed!

For he fights for Justice in the Old Way!

Comment: This is one of the town psalms of a small village on


another world very similar to the American Southwest on our Earth.
As a pseudo-factual hymn, so to speak, firmly established and set in
The Dark Tower multiverse, "A Song of Roland" is now a part
(however small) of the so-called "Roland Myth-Cycle."

The author was able to scry between the veils of dimensions to find
the little desert town in which the entire small population gathered
weekly to sing "A Song of Roland" at the town hall in a near-religious
town custom. The words were easiest to discern. On some other
world, "A Song of Roland" was already written and everything. I
literally only copied the song into our language in THIS universe and
signed my name to it--I basically stole it! (But try to prove any
plagiarism!)

--Allen Mackey, November 2017

Part Five: Last Words, For Now

AFTERWORD:
More To Come
As the perceptive reader can tell, I DO in fact intend to follow this
short collection of Stephen King-ian verses with another volume,
soon. I already have a few titles to work with. Works in progress, all.
Seven dedicated to Pennywise. Eight intended for The Dark Tower.
Six more poems are planned for other King works (mostly, The
Stand.) Some of them include:

Pennywise:

1. A Dream of Red Balloons

2. The Ceremony of Consumption

3. Deadlights

4. Of Pennywise the Ancient One

5. Red Balloons

6. The Ritual of Chüd

7. We Float

The Dark Tower:

1. The Dark Tower

2. The Gunslinger

3. The Litany of Maturin

4. The Key of Roland

5. Of Maturin

6. The Ritual of Tall Grass

7. The Ritual of the Man In Black

8. The Summoning of House Demons


Tributory Texts for Other Works:

1. A Warning From Mother Goodness

2. Calling The Walking Dude

3. The Castle Rock Grimoire [Possible name of the "correlated"


contents of the completed edition of Stephen King Tributes by Allen
Mackey...]

4. The Conjuration of Captain Tripps

5. The Inner Workings of Trashcan Man

6. The Psalm of Jerusalem's Lot

These are all under production, so don't steal them, okay? In a few
months I want to have the second volume of this collection finally
ready. In due time, ALL of my King Tributes will be included in ONE
definitive edition. Yeah, that's the ticket...

Until next time, Allen Mackey.

May the Force be with you. Always.
