The Anunnaki Part 2: Origin of the 50 Names of Marduk As found In The Simon Necronomicon

Greetings!

 I would like to welcome everyone to the GateWalker’s Page. If this is your first time here please review some of our previous articles first.

 So far we have outlined the definition of the term Anunnaki. This is the second part of an ongoing discussion concerning the Anunnaki  and their origins. I can simply state that the GateWalker is also a part of this “divine family,” but it is useful for us to look at scholarly evidence..

 In our previous article we were able to discover that the term “Anunnaki” actually means “princely offspiring” or “those of divine blood.” This would seem to indicate that these were beings or a form of man that were of some divine origin. Just how these divine offspring came int o being has a lot to do with understandint the 50 Names of Marduk. It seems that the 50 Names of Marduk, though from the Babylonian Enuma Elish, actually comes from an older Sumerian Rite concerning Dumuzi. This is discussed at length  in a online article hosted by members of Rutgers University.:

Sumerian Anunnaki and their Descendants Multiorgasmic  

Sumer (“Land of the ‘Watchers’”), the first true empire and civilization in recorded history (ca 5,000 – 2,000 BCE), was — according to its own mythology — founded by and flourished under the reign of the “Anunnaki” (Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came”), who were the Sumerian equivalent of the “Nefilim” (Those Who from Heaven to Earth Fell”), also known as the “Watchers,” whose progeny were the Rephaim.

Perhaps more than any culture before or since, Sumer glorified and celebrated eroticism and sexual activity. Public sexual expression, incest and pedophilia, and sacred prostitution: all have their origins in Sumerian culture. Yet also during the Sumerian period did women enjoy the most economic, social, and sexual freedoms than they have ever since. With the Anunnaki, women were truly considered equal in every way. This was due to the fact that both the Anunnaki males and their descendants as well as the Human females with whom they shared and enjoyed all, were equal sexually and emotionally. All were multiorgasmic.

Central to this webpage is the theory that the “Watchers” were multiorgasmic. Thus, were the Anunnaki equivalent with the “Watchers” (Nefilim) of Canaanite mythology, they too would also have been multiorgasmic. And sure enough, we soon discovered irrefutable proof of this in perhaps the single most important public ritual practiced annually by the Sumerians for over 2,000 years and was later practiced in many derivative forms by Pagans worldwide.

Hieros Gamos (“Sacred Marriage”):  The Multiorgasmic Sumerian King-making Sex Ritual

As stated above, the king’s capacity for leadership was tested via the Hieros Gamos (Sacred Marriage) ceremony wherein he sexually re-enacted with the Priestess the role of Dumuzi, the demi-god ruler of Sumer. Without this ceremony, “he was not considered fit to rule.”

Thus, his kingship depended upon his ability to consummate “his marriage with the goddess” not once or twice… but “fifty times.” That’s right: 50 orgasms, one after the other, non-stop.

By this requirement, all Sumerian Kings had to be… multiorgasmic.

“…the high priestess, acting in place of The Goddess (Inanna), had sex with the new king to show the Goddess’s people that the Goddess herself accepted him as their caretaker and ruler of the country. Not only did these two have sex fifty times, but the entire congregation had front row seats to these fifty climaxes….”

-  http://people.stu.ca/~gwvpt/theme4.htm (emphasis added)
And while the above-cited quote has it appear that 50 orgasms were required of each, the ancient texts themselves limit this 50-orgasm requirement to the man, alone. Only the King-apparent, in the role of the God Dumuzi, was required to climax 50 times.

Inanna

The ritual text itself, used in the actual Sumerian “Sacred Marriage” rite, makes clear that it is the King-apparent, assuming the role of the mortal “Dumuzi,” who experiences these fifty orgasms:

Inanna spoke:
“My beloved, the delight of my eyes, met me.
We rejoiced together.
He took his pleasure of me.
He brought me into his house.
He laid me down on the fragrant honey-bed.
My sweet love, lying by my heart, Tongue-playing,
one by one,
My fair Dumuzi did so fifty times.
Now, my sweet love (i.e., Dumuzi) is sated.”

(excerpt from “The Courtship of Inanna and Dumuzi,” ca 3000 BCE) (emphasis added)

 

This multiorgasmic interpretation is further validated in the book “Inanna: Queen of Heaven and Earth” (1983, Wolkstein & Kramer) where this passage is indeed understood as Dumuzi “…making love to her ‘fifty times’” (p. 153).

Only after fifty such orgasms is Dumuzi, her male lover (twice described by Inanna as “my sweet love” in the above-excerpted passage), sexually “sated.”

Should any doubt still remain as to the correct interpretation of this “fifty times” passage, another version of this same event was recorded anciently and can be found online at Oxford University’s “Electronic Corpus of Sumerian Literature“:

“When my sweet precious (Inanna), my heart, had lain down too,
Each of them in turn kissing with the tongue, each in turn,
Then my brother (Dumuzi) of the beautiful eyes did it fifty times to her,
Exhaustedly waiting for her, as she trembled underneath him, dumbly silent for him.
My dear precious passed the time with my brother laying his hands on her hips.”

(excerpt from “A Balbale of Inana and Dumuzid,” t.4.08.04, 12-18)
And then we have the personal account of Enmerkar, King of Uruk, relating his personal experience in the “Sacred Marriage” Rite of Kingship with an “entu” or “hierodule” (the female priestess representing Inanna in “Sacred Marriage” rite) (ca 2600 BCE). Responding to a boast by the governor of a neighboring city claiming to be the true “beloved” of Inanna, and thus attempting to make himself a potential rival to Uruk’s throne, Enmerkar replies:

“He may lie with her in sweet slumber on the adorned bed, but I lie on Inana’s splendid bed strewn with pure plants. Its back is an ug lion, its front is a pirig lion. The ug lion chases the pirig lion, the pirig lion chases the ug lion. As the ug lion chases the pirig lion and the pirig lion chases the ug lion, the day does not dawn, the night does not pass. I accompany Inana for a journey of (15) double-hours*…” (Lines 77-88)

- “Enmerkar and Ensuhkesdanna: A Sumerian Narrative Poem“, Berlin, p. 45 (emphasis added)

* In personal commnication, the author, Dr. Adele Berlin, explained that the Sumerian “double-hour” refers to the distance that could be traveled in two hours. To our reply email asking her opinion of the theory that this might refer to a non-stop sexual “journey” of 30 hours, Dr. Berlin replied “You have understood the passage well. The idea is of a never-ending night of lovemaking with the goddess, which proves who is the superior king.”  Thus, apparently Enmerkar chose to use this common term for distance to more literally and figuratively illustrate the sexual “journey” taken by both he and Inanna [i.e., her priestess], with whom he orgasmically “accompany”-ied for 30 hours.
In “accompany”-ing Inanna in bed on a 30-hour (“15 double-hours”) sexual “journey” during the “Sacred Marriage” king-making rite rather than to instead “lie with her in sweet slumber”, Enmerkar indisputably lays hold to the superior sexual claim to Inanna’s favor, and thus Uruk’s throne. Enmerkar further illustrates the eternal nature of their lovemaking by using as metaphor the two lion decorations inlaid into the Sacred Marriage bed, itself, likewise eternally “chasing” each other about the bed’s base.

Unlike his lesser rival, Enmerkar had proved himself worthy of kingship in proving himself capable of fully “accompany”-ing the sexually insatiable Inanna:

“Inanna’s powers are prodigious. She is capable of making love through the day and night… The marriage of the goddess Inanna to the king was of essential importance to the people of Sumer. It was by this religious ritual that Inanna, Queen of Heaven, would take the earth-king into the “sweetness of her holy loins,” and by her cosmic powers ensure the king’s powers of leadership and fertiliity.

Yet Inanna, the Goddess of Love, does not offer her favors freely. Not only must she be properly approached with sweet words and gifts, but she must be properly and amply loved. A lion of a man is demanded: a king who is equal to Inanna…”

- “Inanna: Queen of Heaven and Earth“, 1983, Wolkstein & Kramer; p. 155 (emphasis added)
Once the King met with Inanna’s (the Priestess’) sexual approval by proving his multiorgasmic capacity, thus evidencing his possession of this unique Rephaim (Anunnaki) trait, then were the following words spoken signifying her acceptance of him as a “fit” and “worthy” King:

“You, the chosen shepherd of the holy shrine,
You, the king, the faithful provider of Uruk,
You, the light of An’s great shrine,
In all ways you are fit:
To hold your head high on the lofty dais,
To sit on the lapis lazuli throne,
To cover your head with the holy crown…
To bind yourself with the garments of kingship,…
In all ways you are fit.
May your heart enjoy long days…
You are the favorite of Ningal. Inanna holds you dear.”

 

“The Sacred Marriage likely originated in the Sumerian city of Uruk (which was dedicated to the Goddess Inanna) earlier than 3000 B.C. The Sacred Marriage was between the Goddess Inanna and either the high priest (representing the god), or the king (representing the God Dumuzi), and was performed in the temples of various fertility goddesses for nearly two thousand years. The annual symbolic reenactment of this mythical union was a public celebration essential to the well-being of the community, and since it was the occasion of a joyous celebration, it may have involved sexual activity on the part of the worshipers in and around the temple grounds (Lerner 240). The fact that the king of Sumer ritually married a representative of the goddess Inanna once every year helped sustain the power of the priestesses at least for a time (Stephenson 56). Rites similar to the Sacred Marriage also flourished in classical Greece and pre-Christian Rome (Lerner 240).”

This yearly rite, which begins with sacrifices and culminates in this sacred marriage or “hieros gamos“, is delicately and sketchily described by Geoffrey Parrinder {“World Religions from Ancient History to the Present,” (Facts on File Publications, New York, 1983), pp. 125-128} who observes that the king acted as the successor to Dumuzi, lover and husband of Inanna. In re-enacting the love-feast of these two deities that assured fertility: “The part of the goddess was given to a selected priestess.” Parrinder notes that entry to the higher classes of priesthood was by patronage, so that society’s physically and intellectually favored were selected. A highly readable account of the sacred marriage of Inanna and Dumuzi, giving full and glowing details of their lovemaking and subsequent exchange of gifts has recently been published. This work describes the results of the sacred union in terms of establishing the authority and throne of the king, granting him a favorable and glorious reign and an enduring crown, fertile fields, sheep, vegetation, grain, birds, and produce in abundance {Wolkstein, Diane, and Samuel N. Kramer, “Inanna: Queen of Heaven and Earth, Her Stories and Hymns from Sumer”  (Harper & Row, N.Y., 1983), pp. 146-147}.

Evidence from a Sumerian seal, described by Iris Furlong in “The Mythology of the Ancient Near East” in The Feminist Companion to Mythology, edited by Carolyne Larrington, shows sacred marriage rites may have been performed in Sumer before the middle of the third millennium B.C. – more than 4500 years… This feast of collective pleasure involved the whole populace and lasted many days, according to A.T. Mann and Jane Lyle in (their book) “Sacred Sexuality.” Everything in the rite was designed to stir the senses; men and women anointed themselves with essences, paints and jewelry, toasted the goddess and her bridegroom with wine and danced serpentine dances to lyre, flute and drum. Hierophants and priestesses performed libations and sacrifices and burned as incense cinnamon, aloes and myrrh. At the ritual’s peak, the king approached the temple with offerings of oil, precious spices and delectable foods to tempt the goddess. He mounted the goddess at the temple summit as the crowd chanted poetry. The ritual was performed as an allegorical masque, according to Furlong, including speaking parts and probably music; the king played the part of the god Dumuzi (“faithful son”), and a priestess of the highest rank played the goddess Inanna or Ishtar in a ritualized enactment of the divine coupling. The poetry of the ritual (“The Courtship of Inanna and Dumuzi”), translated from the Sumerian Gudea Cylinders, circa 3000 B.C., reflects an attitude toward sex, and sexual spirituality, much different than that prevailing in Western culture today.

The sacred marriage as a rite acted on many levels. On a physical level, it renewed fertility. The Sumerians, according to Furlong, considered their ruler responsible for agricultural prosperity, and all sexual reproduction on earth, vegetable, animal and human, depended on his intercourse with the goddess. The sacred marriage also legitimized the king’s power; without it, Mann and Lyle write, he was not considered fit to rule. His leadership ability was directly linked to his consummating his marriage with the goddess.

“Sacred Marriage” Multiorgasmic Rite Used to Select Sexually-Equal Kings

“The Consecration of the Sacred King – after the close complicity of the night spent with Dumuzi (the Sacred Marriage Ceremony), Inanna decrees the fate of her chosen consort and priest-king, because “in all ways” She found him ” fit” and “Inanna holds you dear”. It must be pointed out that in South Mesopotamia, after kingship descended from the heavens to Eridu, it is Inanna and Enlil who descend to Earth to choose and crown the king, as described in the myth of Etana. It is Inanna (or her earthly representative, the High Priestess of Uruk/the land) again in the Courtship that decrees the fate of the king/Dumuzi. This is a very strong evidence that at least the High Priestess was equal in status to the king, once he had to be first accepted by her to rule the land as her consort.

(emphasis added)
There are “hints that Ishtar was in some way responsible for the selection and sanctioning of the kings of the Sumerian city-states, who acted as stewards of the divine sovereigns. It was this way…which gave rise to the concept of sacred marriage, the ‘temple prostitution’ that the later Bible writers would find so abominable. The sacred marriage was a formal, highly stylized cultic institution, at one and the same time religious and political, enacted between the high priestess representing Ishtar, and the king in the role of high priest representing the city as the vicar of god; and though this act of sacred sexuality, the power of the divinity flowed down from heaven through the king to the people and the land.”

- Magnus Magnusson, BC – The Archaeology of the Bible Lands
“…A text does exist describing the coronation of a Sumerian king during the Uruk period (late fourth millennium). According to this text, the king-to-be approached the throne dais of the goddess Inanna-Ishtar. There he received from her the ‘bright scepter’ and the ‘golden crown’. He probably also received from her a new, royal name.”

Sumer’s First Gods and Kings (The Anunnaki) Were Multiorgasmic

Thus it can only be concluded that the entire Sumerian “Sacred Marriage” Rite was established as a necessary means of ensuring that all of Sumer’s kings possessed the invaluable male sexual capacity of being wholly and truly multiorgasmic. The public display of this male multiorgasmic trait validated their original “divine” Anunnaki bloodline before all the people, thus legitimizing their right to rule. And thus, this trait came direct from the original Anunnaki, the Canaanite “Nefilim,” the “Watchers” who descended “from Heaven” anciently to teach women “sexual pleasure” previously unknown to them. As their kingly descendants, these “demi-god” Sumerian kings were required to prove themselves multiorgasmic prior to being permitted to acquire and/or retain the throne. Thus, given this fact, their forefathers, the Anunnaki, must have likewise possessed this same required “kingly” sexual trait.

The necessity of ensuring these kings as being of the divine Anunnaki birthright and bloodline is explained here:

To be a bridge to the gods, the king had to be superior in his very essence to ordinary people. The early kings were crucial to the development and survival of Sumerian civilization… Kingship was so important in Sumerian times that the Sumerian King List records “that kingship came down from heaven“. Crucial as they were to state formation, these earliest kings had to find a way to legitimate their power. As they had the weight of historical precedence to buttress their idea of rule, no dynastic principle to assure the rights of a successor, they had to demonstrate that they were greater than the rest of the populace.

-  http://www.gatewaystobabylon.com/gods/ladies/ladyinanna2.html
Given that the “Sacred Marriage” ceremony so explicitly served as the Final Test whereby a prospective heir-apparent to the throne proved his right to King-ship, the importance of his ability to perform “fifty times” with the Priestess must have been of incalculable importance to the Sumerians.

As only truly multiorgasmic males could perform sexually as required by this sex ritual, thereby “…demonstrat(ing) that they were greater than the rest of the populace” and thus showing themselves “superior in (their) very essence to ordinary people,” the only reasonable conclusion to be drawn is that the original “Anunnaki” Gods and Kings of Sumer were multiorgasmic, as also were their more earthly descendants and rightful heirs to the Sumerian throne. This then necessitated that an ritual be prepared that permitted the populace to ensure that their King did indeed descend from the Anunnaki bloodline and, thus, was worthy and “fit” to be their King.
Gilgamesh and Enkidu also Multiorgasmic?

In the later Sumerian/Babylonian myth of “Epic of Gilgamesh” (“He Who Saw Everything“, Part I), Gilgamesh is described as a demi-god King (“‘I am king indeed?’ His name was called Gilgamesh From the very day of his birth, He was two-thirds god, one third man…”), a giant also (“Eleven cubits high he is, nine spans his chest”), and one stronger than all other males and also possessing an insatiable sexuality:

“All young girls made women by Gilgamesh His lusts are such, and no virgin left to her lover! Not the daughter of a warrior, Nor the wife of a nobleman! Yet he is king and should be. The people’s careful shepherd… He is wise, he is handsome, he is firm as a rock… No virgin left to her lover, For he lusts strongly!“

In the legend, the people complain to the Gods about Gilgamesh and so an equal to Gilgamesh is formed and called “Enkidu.” This new male being is at first tempted into submission via a hierodule (sacred maiden), a “child of pleasure,” of the Temple of Inanna/Ishtar. This young woman sex priestess then seduces Enkidu and his multiorgasmic session with her is described:

“She had no shame for this, Made herself naked Welcomed his eagerness Incited him to love, Taught the woman’s art. Six days, seven nights, That time lying together, Enkidu had forgotten his home Had forgotten the hills. After that time he was satisfied… For six days and seven nights Enkidu made love to that girl.“

Again, only after lovemaking for almost an entire week is this particular male satisfied. And while myths do tend to over-exaggerate the acts of gods and demigods, yet where Sumerian and Babylonian myths regarding sexual capacity are concerned, it must be remembered that the “Sacred Marriage” ceremony requiring the King to orgasm “fifty times” was not myth or legend, but was a very real and oft-documented ceremony for over 2,000 years in Sumer, Thus, such “superhuman” male sexual capacity was indeed very real in that time and place and did not need to be embellished.

 

Sumer’s Multiorgasmic Legacy Fades into History
… and Women’s Equality Fades Away with Them

Only after the Anunnaki and their descendants faded from power in Sumer, for as-yet-unknown reasons, did the subsequent kingdoms of Babylonia and later, Assyria, begin to dominate females and deprive them of their former prestige and position while moving swiftly to control and repress female sexualtiy, whose multiorgasmic nature had for so many millennia been championed and equally enjoyed by the Rephaim but which now fell under the domination of sexually intimidated, mono-orgasmic males:

“The history of women in Mesopotamia is a long and complex one. Part of this is due to the fact that there are many divisions in the history of Mesopotamia itself. History begins in Mesopotamia with civilizations there rising and falling and shifting. Along with these shifting civilizations came shifting views about women, particularly their status and freedoms. This essay will cover the status of women during the different civilizations of Mesopotamia: Sumeria, Babylonia, Assyria, and Judea. Of special interest, however, is the Assyrian period, which lasted from 900 BC.-600BC. During this period, an extremely important law, entitled the Middle Assyrian Law 40, was written that still affects women of this region today. With MAL 40, the state assumed control of female sexuality by forcing certain women to wear veils, and restricting other women from wearing them. With each successive civilization, women enjoyed less freedom and a lower status, and a patriarchal revolution slowly took place…”

“The first ancient Mesopotamian civilization was that of Sumeria…  During this period, a woman’s strongest position was in relation to the temples. Often young girls worked in the temples as housekeepers or as concubines to the earthly representatives of the gods (Stephenson 56). Fathers were proud to have their daughters serving religion in this way. They would mark their daughters’ entry into temple life with a ceremonial sacrifice and bestow the girls’ marriage dowries to the temple (Stephenson 56). Nin-dingir priestesses annually participated in the Sacred Marriage by impersonating or representing the goddess Inanna (Lerner 239). The Sacred Marriage likely originated in the Sumerian city of Uruk (which was dedicated to the Goddess Inanna) earlier than 3000 B.C. The basis for the ritual of the Sacred Marriage was the belief that fertility of the land and of people depended on the celebration of the sexual power of the fertility goddess (Lerner 239). The Sacred Marriage was between the Goddess Inanna and either the high priest (representing the god), or the king (representing the God Dumuzi), and was performed in the temples of various fertility goddesses for nearly two thousand years. The annual symbolic reenactment of this mythical union was a public celebration essential to the well-being of the community, and since it was the occasion of a joyous celebration, it may have involved sexual activity on the part of the worshipers in and around the temple grounds (Lerner 240). The fact that the king of Sumer ritually married a representative of the goddess Inanna once every year helped sustain the power of the priestesses at least for a time (Stephenson 56). Rites similar to the Sacred Marriage also flourished in classical Greece and pre-Christian Rome (Lerner 240).

“In about 1750 BC. the Sumerians, who had been the creative force in developing Western civilization, were overcome by neighboring Semitic people, the Babylonians, whose greatest king gave his famous Code of Hammurabi to history (Stephenson 57). Historians have learned much about the Babylonian male/female relationship, and the status of women, from the Code of Hammurabi. Under these laws, a woman could be divorced on virtually any grounds: childlessness, adultery, and even poor household management. For example, one of the rules states, “If she have not been a careful mistress, have gadded about, have neglected her house, and have belittled her husband or children , they shall throw that woman into the water.” All the husband need do to obtain a divorce was say, “Thou art not my wife,” and return her dowry (Walsh 24). However, a wife who used these words against her husband would be drowned. A woman could not divorce her husband, but she could leave him if she could prove that her husband had been cruel and that she had been faithful, and then simply return to her parents’ home with her dowry. A wronged husband was free to kill his wife and her lover (Walsh 24).”

Jessica Bieda, Univ. of Az., Women’s Studies Dept.
In foreboding foreshadowing of future vilification during the 15th-16th Centuries for their “insatiable” “carnal lust,” the Babylonians began to actively persecute women as “witches”:

“By the time of the Code of Hammurabi, formulated between 1792 and 1750 BC, the position of women had obviously been greatly eroded. The crimes recorded on the tablets which now outnumbered all others were those of witchcraft and female adultery. According to the Code the accused woman was subjected to the ordeal of the river. If she survived being thrown into a river, she was absolved from any crime. Were she to drown, however, this was considered to be proof of her guilt. This way of ascertaining her guilt or otherwise had a continuing influence for hundreds of years. In Europe, women accused of witchcraft were subjected to similar ordeals by water up until medieval times.”

- “The Mythology of Sex“, Dening, Ch. 3

 

It is thus apparent that by the time of the Babylonian Period, the Rephaim were clearly no longer an influence in the area. Where the Sumerian Rephaim might have emmigrated during the advent of the Babylonian Empire is not known.

However, approximately 1,500 years earlier, after first establishing the Sumerian Empire, other Rephaim were actively establishing the longest-lived empire in World history: Egypt.

 

From Sumer to Egypt (ca 3,500 – 3,300 BCE)

“There is archaeological evidence of a strong cultural connection between Sumer and ancient Egypt. ‘Ptah‘ and the other gods were called, in Egyptian, Ntr = ‘Guardian, Watcher‘.”

“They (ie, ‘The Watchers’) had come to Egypt, the Egyptians wrote, from Ta-Ur, the ‘Far/Foreign Land,’ whose name Ur meant ‘oldest’ but could have also been the actual place name – a place well known from Mesopotamian and biblical records: the ancient city of Ur in southern Mesopotamia. And the straits of the Red Sea, which connected Mesopotamia and Egypt, were called Ta-Neter, the ‘Place of the Gods (‘Watchers’),’ the passage by which they had come to Egypt. That the earliest gods did come from the biblical lands of Shem is additionally borne out by the puzzling fact that the names of these olden gods were of ‘Semitic’ (Akkadian) derivation. Thus Ptah, which had no meaning in Egyptian, meant ‘he who fashioned things by carving and opening up’ in the Semitic tongues.”

- Zecharia Sitchin, The Wars of Gods and Men (http://echoes.devin.com/watchers/sons-of-god.html)   (emphasis added)

“It was, in fact, the biblical Land of Shin’ar. It was the land whose name – Shumer – literally meant the Land of the Watchers. It was indeed the Egyptian Ta Neter – Land of the Watchers, the land from which the gods had come to Egypt.”

- Zecharia Sitchin, Stairway to Heaven (http://echoes.devin.com/watchers/sons-of-god.html)

 

The “Watchers” in Egypt

If, as the Egyptians believed, Sumer (present-day Iraq) was indeed the Ta Neter (Land of the Gods) from which Land the Gods (“Watchers”) had come to Egypt, what evidence is there in Egypt that would help either prove or disprove the Sumerian/Fallen Angel Connection, and further, what evidence is there that such “Watchers” in Egypt possessed some superhuman sexual capacity?

While the Hebrews believed the Watchers and their progeny, in particular, were blood-thirsty “giants” bent on the destruction and corruption of Humankind, yet if such evil, malignant, giant superbeings actually did make their way into Egypt, surely such a dreadful arrival would have figured prominently in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and historical texts, as well. If the Watchers were the massive cannibalistic monsters as depicted and vilified in Genesis, the Books of Enoch, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Book of Jubilees, etc., they would have posed an horrific threat to the Egyptians as these supposedly murderous half-humans/half-demons invaded their lands. And yet nothing of any such “invasion” by any such foreigners from the East appears anywhere in Egyptian history of this period. No accounts exist at all of cannabilistic giants devouring whole villages, etc, as exists in Hebrew records. In fact, no successful invasion into Egypt occurred at all until the Greeks’ conquest of Egypt under Alexander, thousands of years later.

Yet as seen in the previous quotes, there can be no doubt that the Egyptians recorded the arrival of “the Watchers” in Egypt from the Mesopotamian area of Sumer (Shu’mer) approximately 3500 BCE.

So, as Egypt’s “Gods” came from Sumer anciently, who were the “Watchers” in Egypt… really?

The key to their discovery lies not in looking for “giants” or “cannibals” or even “demons” (all Hebrew lies), but in first searching for an Egyptian “Watcher” (God) or group of “Watchers” leaving some mark on Egyptian history in exemplifying the single indisputable defining characteristic of the Watchers: their superhuman sexual capacity.

Of course, it’s not enough to simply find a male sex god or gods and assume that such must be of the “Watchers.” No… if such a “Watcher” existed, he would have to fill additional requirements. After all, we have historical records that document the history and origins of these “Watchers,” and while many of the specific vilifications and condemnations of the “Watchers” can be taken with a rather large grain of salt, yet there are basic characteristics and historical evidences revealed that can be useful in establishing a fairly reliable, relatively credible base of general “Watcher” characteristics, and any Egyptian “Watcher” candidate(s) would have to match these same criteria.

Specifically, in addition to exemplifying the epitome of the male sexual ideal (“super” “virility”), any such “Watcher”:

1.  
   1. Would have been documented as being a real man/being, not simply a “God”
      based on a myth, legend, or superstition, etc.;
   2. Would not have been native to Egypt, but would have specifically arrived in
      Egypt from either Canaan/Palestine or – preferably – Sumer (whose very name in
      Sumerian and Egyptian means “Land of the Watchers,” further evidence of the
      obvious ancient contact existing between them); and
   3. Would have had to arrive in a timeframe following the Watchers’ expulsion from
      Canaan/Palestine, ca 4,000 BCE.

While almost no “deity” could arguably hope to pass even the first of these criteria, yet there is one Egyptian “deity” that does… and further succeeds in passing all three, historically and convincingly, and whose very name, like “Rephaim,” specifically refers to never-ending “virility” of an eternal sexually “firm” nature.

The Watcher deity in question was by far the most “virile” of all the ancient Sex Gods. And according to many Egyptologists, he also happened to be Egypt’s first Pharoah, King Menes.

The Anunnaki

Greetings!

I would like to welcome everyone to the GateWalker’s Info Page. I decided that we would begin providing some definition to some of the terms that appear in the Simon Necronomicon..

“And around thee shall appear the Flame, like Lightning flashing in all directions, and all things will appear amid thunders, and from the Cavities of the Earth will leap forth the ANNUNNAKI, Dog-Faced, and thou shalt bring them down.”

The Mad Arab here refers to the “ANNUNNAKI” as being Dog-Faced. Who were the ANNUNNAKI?

The term “ANNUNNAKI.” as it appears in the Simon Necronomicon, derives form the term anunnaki. Wikipedia offers us this perspective:

“The Anunnaki (also transcribed as: Anunnaku, Ananaki and other variations) are a group of Sumerian, Akkadian and Babylonian deities. The name is variously written “^da-nuna”, “^da-nuna-ke₄-ne”, or “^da-nun-na”, meaning something to the effect of ‘those of royal blood’[1] or ‘princely offspring’.[2]

Anunnaki was a collective term for deities in general, especially those who were not otherwise named. Dr. Jeremy Black and Dr. Anthony Green write that the word eventually suggested the deities of earth and the underworld after the term Igigi was used more to refer to the heavenly deities.[2]

The Anunnaki appear in the Babylonian creation myth, Enuma Elish. In the late version magnifying Marduk, after the creation of mankind, Marduk divides the Anunnaki and assigns them to their proper stations, three hundred in heaven, three hundred on the earth. In gratitude, the Anunnaki, the “Great Gods”, built Esagila, the splendid: “They raised high the head of Esagila equaling Apsu. Having built a stage-tower as high as Apsu, they set up in it an abode for Marduk, Enlil, Ea.” Then they built their own shrines.

According to later Babylonian myth, the Anunnaki were the children of Anu and Ki, brother and sister gods, themselves the children of Anshar and Kishar (Skypivot and Earthpivot, the Celestial poles), who in turn were the children of Lahamu and Lahmu (“the muddy ones”), names given to the gatekeepers of the Abzu temple at Eridu, the site at which the creation was thought to have occurred. Finally, Lahamu and Lahmu were the children of Tiamat and Abzu.”

Wikipedia gives us a pretty good definition of the term, but it still doesn’t give us a deeper meaning as too why the Mad Arab refers to them as being “Dog-Faced?” it seems more than probable that when we look at some of the deeper history regarding the Anunnaki we can get a clearer understanding.

The Anunnaki were children of Anu. They were also the judges of the seven judges of the netherworld, who sat before the throne of Queen Ereshkigal. They are associated with the Ursa Major, which reassures us that the Walking Process occurs in the Underworld. It seems that there is some sort of relationship with the Sirius Star, also known as the “Dog Star,” and the times that the Anunnaki open up to judge the Earth. An interesting observation is made by Mark Amaru Pinkham, in his book entitled; The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom. On pages 43-44 Pinkham states:

“According to certain Sumerian texts, as well as Greek translations of the Middle Eastern history anciently recorded by the Babylonian initiate Berosus, Enki or “Oannes,” whose symbol was a goat-fish, arrived in Mesopotamia with his entourage,the Anunnaki (also called the “repulsive” or “dragon-faced Annedoti” by Greek translators), at four different times, and each  time taught the native people many of the mundane and spiritual arts. Their visits were 30,000 years apart, an interval which is conspicuously close to 26,000 years, the duration of one Procession of Equinoxes, thus implying that the purpose of each arrival by Enki and his Serpent followers was to initiate a new cycle of time by infusing the ancient Mesopotamian population with a fresh outpouring of culture and wisdom….While some waves of Anunnaki probably came from Sirius, some Sumerian texts seem to imply that at least one delegation came  from Atlantis…..atlantis is remembered in the early Sumerian scriptures as NI-DUK-KI..”

This is an interesting observation, yet it does emphasis the vital role that the Anunnaki play in our Initiation. We will discuss this more in our next article; The Anunnaki Part 2.  Below are some dipictions of the Anunnaki:

Shinto Religion Older Than Babylonian Religion!

Greetings!

I would like to welcome everyone here to the Simon Necronomicon GateWalker’s Page. If this is your first time here, I do ask that you review some of our previous articles in our menu section first. This will help you to understand where we are in our current discussion.

I am sure this article will spark some controversy among people in the occult community. However, I am also aware that many people in the occult community are still trying to perfect themselves and the mystical arts that they use.

The origin of this article came from a recent observation that I made based on certain experiences in the GateWalking Community. Let me first state that until the Initiate completes the rites in the Urilla Text, they cannot wholly understand the Necronomicon Tradition. During the Sign of Leo 2009, a few GateWalkers who passed the preliminary rites of Walking the Seven Gates, plus the Gates of Ninhursag, Enki, Enlil, and Anu, were told to do the Invocation of the Ancient One, that appears in the opening pages of the Urilla Text, which is found on pages 184 through 185. This incantation is derived from The Rite of the Bornless One.  The purpose of this working is to complete the Sacred Marriage Rite, where the Initiate and the Watcher become one. It is a very serious Rite and can only effectively be performed after the 11 Gates have been Walked. I gave the assignment of this working to three of my students and an experienced GateWalker, as well as, myself. iImust say that the experience was extremely supernatural. All of us had experiences that were beyond the veils of the physical world. The second thing that I noticed is that all the Initiates involved in this rite had experienced an increase ability to access their astral powers and for the most part, the astral body ruled their physical being. I must say that throughout my observations, the Initiated who were involved in the working did not communicate to each other, as I was the link between them and they did not know each other, yet we were all experiencing the same things. There is one thing though that I found very strange. Most of the people who performed this rite somehow came into contact with deities indigenous to Japan. One Initiate began studying Japanese martial arts, Shugendo. I began with Ninjitsu, and etc. I also decided to get in tune with the Japan’s indigenous spiritual practices better known as Shintoism.

I recently began to wonder,  why after completing the Sacred Marriage Rite were many of the Initiates leaning towards the Japanese culture? This caused me to investigate certain theories that are presented throughout the world in regards to Sumeria.

Sumeria is described as the cradle of civilization and the civilization where it all began. Yet everyone must ask themselves is this really true? Let us first look at how the modern world discovered the Sumerian Civilization..

Although there is much that can be found about Sumeria today, the discovery of this civilization is  a recent one.  The first major excavations leading to the discovery of Sumeria were conducted (1842-1854) at Assyrian sites such as Nineveh, Dur Shamukin, and Calah by the French archaeologists Paul Emile Botta and Victor Place; the British archaeologists Sir Austin Henry Layard and Sir Henry C. Rawlinson and the Irish clergyman Edward Hincks made a study of the inscriptions, however, and discovered that some were in a non-Semitic language. In 1869 the French archaeologist, Julius Oppert suggested that the name Sumerian, from the royal title King of Sumer and Akkad, appearing in many inscriptions, be applied to the language.

Samuel Noah Kramer the infamous Sumerianologist, who was involved in the process of translating numerous Sumerian texts, often found many stories that were similar to Biblical mythologies. It was this principle that fueled the research into Ancient Mesopotamia, especially in regards to the Gilgamesh Epics, for the first time the modern world assumed that it had found references to support the Biblical flood account in the Legend of Utnapishtim.

How Sumeria was discovered in the modern world weighs heavily into our discussion about Sumeria as the first civilization on Earth. First, it is very important for the occultist to understand that most of the research and excavation that have been done are by followers of the three main Abrahamic faiths namely, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It is interesting to note that on a purely religious level, all adherents to these three different religions, religiously believe that the origin of man is in Ancient Mesopotamia. So I find it quite ironic that the same archaeologists who happen to be adherents to either one of these three religions have NOT presented anything different from what their scriptural fantasies have theorized. I must also remind the reader that during the time of the excavations that lead to the discovery of Sumeria, the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic Faiths were strongly followed by those that professed them, especially in Europe and America. What this boils down to is that what these archaeologists have discovered in the past century, is in support of Western religious thought. Therefore, the Initiate into the Greater Mysteries must do his own research with the help of his/her guides to piece together the history of the world. This is why you will notice how most discoveries will NOT go beyond the year 5,000 BCE, even though scientist have discovered human fossils dating tens of thousands of years ago in Africa. Discoveries such as this is swept underneath the rug since they conflict, or would upset the layman’s religious dedication, which in turn would affect their political dedication, and then cause a spirit of unrest. So while it is acknowledged that there are human fossils in Africa that are older that any Sumerian writing,  it is just swept underneath the rug so that Biblical theories stay in tact. What is also interesting is that the Yoruba Pantheon is identical to the Sumerian, even its creation story. If Sumerian Reconstructionists really want to re-piece the Sumerian Tradition, they must study the Yoruban system of spirituality, as well as , other indigenous system. This leads us to the discovery that the Shinto spiritual system is older than the Babylonian.

H.P. Lovecraft in his story The Call of Cthulhu describes a godlike being called Cthulhu who dwells in the Sunken City of R’lyeh R’lyeh “>that is located somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. The energies in the Urilla Text we are told by Simon are similar to Lovecraft’s R’lyeh Text. This may explain why the initiates who performed the Urilla Text working started to be drawn to forms of spirituality that were accustomed to people living in the area of the Pacific Ocean. Yet there is another point to make here in view of our topic, while Lovecraft’s location of the R’lyeh City may have been exaggerated,  he was correct in identifying a Sunken City that lies in the Pacific Ocean.

National Geographic News reported in September 2007 pyramid structures lying just below the waters of Japan at Yonaguni Jima.  The condition of this ancient city is said to have been caused by an earthquake over 2, 000 years ago. However, many researchers in the field claim that this “Sunken City” is anywhere from five to ten thousand years old. This presents  ”>quite a problem for our Jewish, Christian, and Islamic scholars who can’t get past their religious beliefs and show the truth about their archaeological discoveries. Here’s the problem: If  Sumeria is the first civilization on the face of this Earth and is dated only 5,000 years ago; How is it then that another civilization, found in Japan, was built at the same time Sumeria was found? Wouldn’t common sense dictate that it would take a few centuries to move from Sumeria to the region of Japan?

Earlier in our discussion we spoke about how archaeologists discovered another civilization that predated Babylon, Sumeria. See what I didn’t mention then was that these archaeologists knew about Babylon and were seeking to find further evidence of the Bible’s validity, yet the Bible doesn’t mention the Sumerians, but it does mention the ‘Sons of God’ taking the Daughters of Men.” So the idea of a “black-headed people” existing prior to Babylon was unknown to Western people. It was actually Samuel Noah Kramer who explored the Sumerian histories even further and thanks to him, we have the volumes of work that we do today. If it were up to the Christian and Islamic archaeologists, they would have just let the matter sit and sweep everything underneath the rug, which is actually what they did, until Kramer pursued the efforts to translate the text, since his beliefs  were more liberal than his religious upbringing. Yet deceit in the discovery of Japan’s antiquity is also being swept under the rug.  Leader of the stupidity pack is Robert Schoch who claims that the structures found off of Japan’s Coast are not man-made but natural.

Just one look at these photos one can easily see that Doctor Schoch blew it, but once again this is what happens when you ask a ”Christian” mind to check ancient artifacts.  Let’s face it- as Pagans we are well aware that most of the history that originated among the Christian Nations is a lie. Columbus didn’t discover America, the Native Americans did, so why doesn’t this Christian Nation honor their history of coming to America? We teach our children that Gutenburg invented the printing press although China had used advance technologies for printing centuries before Gutenberg ever lived. Let’s face it Christian and Islamic Nations have a problem with accepting historical fact that honour indigenous people or differ from their religious belief. Interestingly, Samuel Noah Kramer was chased out of the Arab World due to what he discovered in the Sumerian writings and how it conflicted with Islamic beliefs. Samuel Noah Kramer is who the fictional character Indiana Jones is based on.

Pre-Sumerian Civilization

Samuel Noah Kramer asserts that the Sumerian people, who called themselves the “black-headed people,” were a Nomadic people who moved about. Where they came from is not really known-yet. However, many anthropologist are able to trace some of their roots to the Tamil people due to similarities in language. Yet this shows that the Sumerians probably traveled westwards after establishing colonies in  China, India, and etc, after leaving a collapsed civilization that was in the Pacific Ocean.  Interestingly, Japan holds that its country was founded by the Anu People. This reinforces some of the origins of true Japanese history. It is clear that Japan’s history exceeds its written history by thousands of years. The written history of Japan at about 400 BC, but this is not completely accurate either. It seems that there were some political struggles of  different ethnic peoples within “prehistoric” Japan. We know this to be the case because pottery has been unearthed  from the Joman Period which is dated about 14,000 years old. Thats about 10,000 years older than when archaeologists say the Sumerian Civilization started. We also know that there were internal struggles between different ethnic groups in Japan’s history because first Shogun Sakanouye Tamura Maro was a Black man, which means that there was also an African presence prior to Japan’s modern history.  It seems that Japan may have been a safe haven for persecuted  ”>religious groups such as the Taoists, and different forms of African divination, as well as, Buddhism. Although, Buddhism originated in India and was brought to China then and then Japan.there are certain aspects of Buddhism and Taoism that may have originated in China, but are only preserved in Japan, such as the Tea Ceremony. It is in consideration of all these facts that we can ascertain that the Shinto Religion is one of the oldest in the world if not the oldest. Written history may differ, but it does stand to reason that since there was a culture that existed in Japan that is thousands of years older than the Mesopotamian culture, it must also be a correct assumption that this same culture had a system of spirituality, which is apparently Shinto. This is why there is no accredited founder of the Shinto Religion, or a said Shinto scripture. The origin of this religion and its beginning were evidently wiped out during various stages of religious persecution, or held in secret among the people indigenous to Japan. However, there is one more cause that plays a vital role in our identification of Shintoism as the oldest religion in the world and that is a comparative analysis of the Shinto Kami with the Sumerian and Babylonian deities.

It is widely known that in prehistoric times Mother-Son worship flourished throughout the ancient world. Major deities were honored as feminine and the minor deities were depicted as male. This is the most ancient concept of religious worship. Keeping this in mind we can appreciate that the Shinto religion is the purest form of prehistoric religion because Amaterasu Omikami is one of the very few solar deities that is represented as a goddess. This is a very important aspect that occultist should be aware of. In prehistoric times, when the major deities were venerated as women, they were also honored as mothers. This is very important to remember. The founders of the planet Earth recognized that the planets are nourished by the Sun’s energy in the same way a baby is nourished by its mother’s milk.The rotation of the planets around the Sun is simulated even among communal insects where the “queen” is the life-giver of all that is living. The Sun is also the provider of life-giving energy that supports all life on Earth. In previous posts we have discussed that Ishtar is a planetary form of Tiamat. Please review our article 2012 and The Simon Necronomicon. It is here that we also discovered that the word Ishtar finds its origin in the word star. This also reveals to us that during the era of Mother-Sun worship, stars, or suns, were deified as feminine. This is explained in the Babylonian Epic of  Creation, also known as the Enuma Elish. During the next part of our discussion we will be using the Simon Necronomicon’s version of this creation epic. For more information please review our article The Simon necronomicon\’s Version of the Enuma Elish.

Before we begin, I must state that the Enuma Elish can be interpreted in many ways, on an astrological level, changes in spiritual conciousness amongst mankind, and etc.

“When on High the Heavens had not been named,  the Earth had not been named, and Naught existed but the Seas of Absu, The Ancient One, And MUMMU Tiamat, the Ancient One..”

It is interesting that ABSU has been defined as the fresh waters and Tiamat as the salt waters. The ancient people may have looked upon Tiamat as the “salt waters” because it represented the solar aspect while life-giving is also chaotic, and stars cannot be lived on with fleshly bodies. Absu, would then represent the fresh waters or absorbing matter upon which life could grow. In this aspect we can also not that Tiamat would correspond to the Shinto Creator Goddess SU, the source of all things. There is another interesting passage that appears in the Magan Text.

If we look though the first section of the Magan Text we discover that Tiamat is described as the “Queen of the Ghouls.” This further emphasizes Tiamat as a fiery solar force. How so? The term \”ghoul\” is Arabic in origin. For those of you who are familiar with the Batman movies, Raj Al Ghul, would fit the description of a “ghoul” sometimes known as the Jinn. The Jinn are described as a class of living beings that exist in a parallel world that predates that of mankind. They have superhuman power and can appear in various form sometimes resembling snakes, vultures, or tall black men in white garb. it is believed by Muslims that the Jinn were created by Allah from ’smokeless fire.’ They are also known as the fiery ones. Keeping this all in mind, if Tiamat is described as the “Queen of the Ghouls”  in the Magan Text, then it can also be said that she is the “Queen of the fiery Ones.” This means that Tiamat is a fiery source, or a star, Ishtar. Evidently the Race of Watchers are the Jinn, also known to modern man as the GateWalker with a fully developed astral or starry body.

Now if it is believed that our Sun was once a part of the Big Dipper constellation, as mentioned in Gates of the Necronomicon,then Marduk throwing Tiamat into the abyss takes on a new meaning. Yet it would also mean that when Tiamat rises to the stars the world will be one, or consumed by fire. this is something that modern science is now learning.

It is amazing that we have learned a new development in the Necronomicon Tradition and have confirmed some of Lovecraft’s fiction as reality. Ishtar (Venus) is the only planet that rotates clockwise but orbits the Sun counterclockwise. GateWalkers follow the same practice by Walking around the Gate of Initiation clockwise and Walking through the Zodiac, or Gate by Gate, in a pattern that is reverse the direction to that of the Sun. Therefore, we are all Initiated under the banner of Ishtar/Inanna, and by such we are able to draw from the Sun, our Mother what mankind  hasn’t.

The Mother-Son worship in preserved in the Shinto Religion. It appears that the Sumerians were also worshippers of the Great Mother Tiamat, as the Egyptians were when Sehkmet was the Sun Goddess. What I find interesting is that during the Babylonian Period the Sun became associated with Male deities and the Catholic Church has infiltrated every country, that has hosted this sort of religious philosophy with the exception of China. The Biblical book of Revelation tell its adherents to get out of Babylon the Great! This is a reminder to the children of the Sun Goddess not engage in Solar-Phallic worship. All the religions that descended from Babylon have made this association. The religions that associate the Sun with the Goddess predate Babylon, which proves that the Shinto Religion and the culture that it promotes is older than Mesopotamia. In conclusion I would like to quote the words that appear in the Magan Text, as found in the Simon Necronomicon.

“The verses here that follow come from the secret texts of a cult which is all that is left of the Old Path that existed before Babylon was built..”

Politicians Getting Everyone Ready For The Ancient Ones Return

The Mad Arab states the following in the Simon Necronomicon:

“Let all who read this book be warned thereby that the habitation of men are seen and surveyed by that Ancient Race of gods and demons from a time before time, and that they seek revenge for that forgotten battle that took place somewhere in the Cosmos and rent the Worlds in the days before the creation of Man, when the Elder Gods walked the Spaces, the race of MARDUK, as he is known to the Chaldeans, and of ENKI our MASTER, the Lord of Magicians.

Know, then, that I have trod all the Zones of the Gods, and also the places of the Azonei, and have descended unto the foul places of Death and Eternal Thirst, which may be reached through the Gate of GANZIR, which was built in UR, in the days before Babylon was.

Know, too, that I have spoken with all manner of spirit and daemon, whose names are no longer known in the societies of Man, or were never known. And the seals of some of these are writ herein; yet others I must take with me when I leave you. ANU have mercy on my soul!

I have seen the Unknown Lands, that no map has ever charted. I have lived in the deserts and the wastelands, and spoken with demons and the souls of slaughtered men, and of women who have dies in childbirth, victims of the she-fiend LAMMASHTA.

I have traveled beneath the Seas, in search of the Palace of Our Master, and found the stone of monuments of vanquished civilisations, and deciphered the writings of some of these; while still others remain mysteries to any man who lives. And these civilisations were destroyed because of the knowledge contained in this book.

I have traveled among the stars, and trembled before the Gods. I have, at last, found the formulae by which I passed the Gate ARZIR, and passed into the forbidden realms of the foul IGIGI.”

Warlock Asylum’s Interview With Venus Satanas

Greetings! I would like to welcome everyone here to the GateWalker’s Info Page. Today, we have a special fuest-Venus Satanist. She is the auther of http://www.spiritualsatanist.com/ I was very happy that she agreed to do an interview, as I thought that it may help our readers learn a new perspective. Warlock Asylum:  For our readers here on the GateWalker’s Info Page, Who is Venus Satanas? What is your spiritual path? And what links or media have you organized to reach people? Venus Satanas: See, I found Satanism accidentally when I was browsing the bookshelf in the public library. It was a hardcover edition of the Church of Satan by Blanche Barton that introduced me to some of the LaVeyan perspectives in Satanism. This was in 1992. I created a pact with Satan that same year. I dedicated myself to Satanism once again, years later after leaving the path for seven years to work on a failing relationship. In this relationship I had to give up my practices of Satanism. After seven years I knew that things weren’t going to work out and it wasn’t the life that I wanted to live anymore. After I left that relationship, I worked and saved to get my own place. I was alone and living in a new apartment. To me it was a second chance, my opportunity to return to Satanism and magic, to finish what I started years ago. I created a new altar and dedicated my time to studying magic. I saved a black cat from the shelter (Shadow) to be my familiar. At my apartment doorstep was a pink rose that took a long time to grow. To me that rose was a symbol of my new life. It was a symbol of the goddess Venus. At my own ritual of Magical Naming, I used that rose as an offering to the goddess Venus. After this, the name ‘Venus Satanas’ became my magical name. I also rededicated to the path of Satanism, offering my service to Satan once again. Through this I created my website, spiritualsatanist.com to share my ideas and experiences with others. It started out as a small collection of articles that grew over the years into what it is today. And, in 2007 I created my you tube channel so that I could make educational videos on Satanism. I also researched the al-jilwah in 2008, and wrote a book in ‘09 called ‘The Al-Jilwah for Satanists’, to expose the origins of this (supposedly) Satanic document. It is my interest to inform people about my ideas in Satanism and to debunk the myths that some believe, through education and resources. I was also invited to write for the upcoming anthology book, ‘Woman’s Voices in Magic’, where I described my experience of being a woman on the path of Satanism. It seems that the majority of Satanists are not women, but I think this is changing though as more people learn about Satanism. Warlock Asylum:  How did you discover “spiritual Satanism?” And why Satanism? Venus Satanas: It was through my experiments in magic and Satanism that I discovered that there really weren’t many good sources for Satanism available. One source did inspire me though and that was Diane Vera’s Theistic Satanism site. I loved the style of her writings. Her website was easy to understand and full of common sense advice and excellent research. From reading her writings I began to understand that there were essentially two types of Satanists out there – the atheists or symbolic Satanists, and the theists or spiritual Satanists. My experiences with Satan as a god allowed me to see what I really identified with, that being a spiritual belief in Satan. So, it was easy to identify with Theistic Satanism because of my spiritual experiences. When you ask, ‘Why Satanism?’ – I think that answer would be different for every Satanist that you ask. Satan represents many things to me, and it is from these understandings that I have come to have a relationship with Satan as a god. My reasons for being a Satanist have changed over the years, but the focus has always been identification with the qualities of Satan. I suppose that Satanism allows me to be what I like to identify with, but that would be a really simple answer to a very complex question. It is through the experiences that I have had with Satanism that I have seen Satan as a force that has moved through my life and shaped it in many different ways. This force has allowed me to achieve what I want in life, mostly through thoughts, actions, desires, and situations that manifest. I am a very artistic person and Satanism is a system of spirituality that allows me to be individual, unique and expressive. Satanism is a benefit to me and my spiritual relationship with Satan is beneficial as well. Warlock Asylum: How has this Path helped you? Venus Satanas: The Path of Satanism has helped me in many ways. In my youth Satanism allowed me to break free from all of the things about life that I believed to be true. It allowed me to stand on my own and to have the courage to be myself. Later on in life, Satanism helped me to help others to find what Satanism is and what it is not. What really helped me in Satanism was my meeting with nocTifer (nagasiva) in ‘07 in a chat channel. We had so many good discussions on the history of Satanism. nocTifer is very educated in occultism and his website, satanservice.org is a huge archive of Satanism that he has collected for many years. Through our many discussions he has definitely helped me to shatter some of my own beliefs that were not necessary, and I am a better person because of this. My perspectives changed for some very good reasons. It is also because of this that I have come to know Satan as God of this World, and a god of wild nature! In Oct. 2008, We created The Horde of Independent Satanists (HISS) to help independent Satanists with resources and writings on Satanism. Where most Satanists are generally distrustful of others and battle with each other, I believe that nocTifer and I are able to work together to manifest something great for other Satanists. Warlock Asylum:  What are some things that you feel you still need to explore? Venus Satanas: Learning never ends, it is an ongoing process. The more that I learn in Satanism and occultism the more I realize that I actually know very little. I suppose that is the idea of spirituality, it is a never-ending mystery. Achieving the answers isn’t as important to me as discovering the questions. While standing in line at the store the other day I saw a man with a t-shirt that said in bold letters ‘The journey is the destination’. I said to myself, ‘yes that’s it! Now that’s the truth.’ Satanism is like that, it’s not a goal to be achieved it is something that is built along the way through years of study and understanding and practice. Warlock Asylum:  What advice would you give to the GateWalking Community and Keepers of the Simon Necronomicon Tradition? Venus Satanas: I think in my first intro post on the Papers in the Attic blog, I discussed my own experiences and perspectives on the Necronomicon tradition. I will explain here briefly. I do not accept that the Necronomicon or its sources are ancient. However, I do accept that there is some kind of practical use for it as a modern grimoire for modern magic. From my understanding of the GateWalking method, the closest that I could compare it to as a magic system is the Chaos magic movement. I think it takes years of work to make a tradition take hold. If there is something good and useful that can be gained from it, then that’s great. That’s what makes it work. But, my advice is this. I know what it is like to be a minority in the occult. Satanism is in many ways still an underground movement; you have to search into it to find resources and knowledge. The answers aren’t always apparent. I also know what it is like not to get respect from other occult communities. Sometimes I wonder why people, who claim to have an open mind, can be so upset when they are in the presence of a Satanist. I see the anti-satanic propaganda put forth by Wiccans and pagans. I have seen personally how some in ceremonial magic have laughed at the ideas of Satanism as if it were a joke. They have many misconceptions and assumptions. Satanism is very real, and while it is not the path for everyone, it is something that will appeal to a certain few who identify with its concepts. I have also seen another side to my experience in the occult community. It is through social networking sites and YouTube that I’ve had the opportunity to reach out to many different kinds of people. I have had people from all paths write to me and tell me that although they aren’t Satanists they appreciate my writings and perspectives. This tells me that there is hope, that Satanism can coexist alongside other kinds of spiritual and occult paths. So my advice to others who are on a unique and not well known path is this: do what you love to do because you love to do it, and that’s it. ~ Venus Satanas ~
