It seems that each line of this conjuration is a movement upon the "middle pillar" (assuming that use using the Tree of Life as refence; if not use the Tower of Babel instead). The prelimonery Ia, Ia, Ia seems to be a proclamation of the intention of the rite and its goal. Then the first line is from the heavens to Saturn. Then from Saturn to The Serpentine of Knowledge One, then from that Serpentine to the number two. From there I am not sure what is going on, but it seems to reach Earth (assuming that is!) then return upwards--because the lines are all reversed of the beginnings. After the x4 IA's I'm not quite sure what is going on---It seems to be a warding off of unneeded influrnces.
What do u all think--am I even close!?
You explanation of this rite is very good indeed. The last four lines of the text (excluding the last "IA" "IA" "IA") call upon Ekhi. Or at least it they seem to be calling upon Ekhi as it follows the manner in which many other Necronomicon incantations are written. An evil spirit or god is preceeded by or followed by the name of a good spirit or God to "blot" the evil one(s) out. Ekhi was a Sun Godess of the ancient Basque People who parallels to Enki enough that one could replace "Ekhi" with "Enki" if one were suited to do so. Ekhi was the Champion of earth and dispised all evil spirits. Interestingly enough, she also had a watery, underground home much like Enki.
