The Sign of the Old Ones

"Armand gently seperated the black cube into two parts revealing a round stone with a hole in it, rather like a donut. On either side of this stone were inscriptions impressed in a style like cuneiform. Gene ran his fingers over them and noticed that on the periphery of the stone a snake was raised, encircling the entire wheel and biting its tail on one side."
        --Glimpses, A.A. Attanasio

This amulet is metioned in a story from the story anthology Nameless Places but was recently reprinted in the second edition of Disciples of Cthulhu. It appears to be useful in protecting one from Yog-Sothoth. Since such talismans show up very rarely in the Mythology I thought it was worth documenting.


Have you seen the Yellow Sign?
