O Indra...

(Indra.)

Operation Chaos, X.

Virginia begins the salamander dismissal spell by invoking six relevant deities:

Indra
Abaddon
Lucifer
Moloch
Hephaestos
Loki 

Personal associations:

I invoke Indra because he is the chief god of the Vedic pantheon which would have been known to Gautama, the Buddha, - indeed, Indra has roles in Vedism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism;

I am a fan of graphic novels by Neil Gaiman and Mike Carey featuring a version of Lucifer Morningstar.

Hearing the beginning of the invocation, the salamander attacks and the broomstick has to make an Immelmann turn. Read Poul Anderson and learn.

Kaor, Paul!

I boggle a bit at invoking LUCIFER and MOLOCH. The fist became one of the names of Satan and the other was a particularly gross pagan god to whom infant babies were sacrificed.

Ad astra! Sean
