Update #1 from graycloak:
“That’s a Lásabrjótur, an Icelandic magickal stave used “to open a lock without a key.” The second panel looks to be the same, but using some artistic licence to show an “opened” state.”

Sum amico huic domui • I am a friend to this house
I hope my dime-store Latin is at least somewhat accurate
The rest of it feels a little cobbled together:
- Ancor, Anacor … these are two angels normally seen as part of a triad (at the very least. Sometimes even more). What happened to Anelos/Anylos?
- Candones helosi … this is another angelic name/title (i think), and it comes from the Ars Notoria’s Oration of the Physical Art, which is about divining “perfect knowledge of any disease.” I have never seen this used outside this context, so I would love any references to other uses people might be able to share!
- et vos eleutis phugori … I have no idea. I mean, et vos translates to “and you..” so, I assume eleutis phugori is the name of a spiritual entity, but can’t find any other references to it outside this comic (or any others inside the comic, for that matter).
Overall, this appears to be an invocation of 4 entities (angelic or otherwise) to either authenticate/vouch-for the claims of his incantation or to stand as judges of his supplication. That is, assuming “eleutis phugori” is another angelic/ethereal entity. As I said above, I haven’t been able to find references to it anywhere.
With thanks to graycloak.
