Spiritual Practices of the Necronomicon Tradition: The Morning Prayer and Meditation

meditation

I would like to welcome everyone to the GateWalker’s Info Page. if this is your first time here, please review some of our previous articles so that you may understand the content of our current discussion.

Dan Harms raised some interesting points about the the use of the Simon Necronomicon as a spiritual system during one of our recent debates. This question may also have crossed the minds of both avid readers of the GateWalkers’s Page, as well as, new practitioners of the Simon Necronomicon. Therefore, I though that it might be useful to list some of the spiritual practices of the Necronomicon Tradition for newcomers and the initiated.

Before we begin this discussion, it is necessary for me to state that there has been a lot of misinformation concerning the occult arts spreading throughout the internet and “new age “books as of late.  I am certain that the origin of this situation lies in the fact that many who attracted to the occult arts have misguided intent. Simon was aware of this problem as well. In the introduction of the Simon Necronomicon, under the subheading, The Devil, Simon makes the following observation:

“For, as it is said in one of man’s most ancient of Covenants, the Emerald Table, “As Above, So Below”. Man’s power to alter the nature of his environment must develop simultaneously with his ability to master his inner environment, his own mind his psyche, soul, spirit. Perhaps, then, the lunar landing was the first collective initiation for humanity, which will bring it one step closer to a beneficial Force that resides beyond the race of the “cruel celestial spirits”, past the Abyss of Knowledge. Yet, he must remember that the occult powers that accompany magickal attainment are ornamental only, indications of obstacles overcome on the Path to Perfection, and are not to be sought after in themselves, for therein lies the truth Death.”

It is very sad to see that most people involved in the occult arts are not aware of the theme of the Greater Mysteries and wind up hurting themselves in the process of “dabbling” and joining occult orders whose sole purpose is bent on seeing some sort of “miraculous” things occur just because a ritual is performed. The evidence of supernatural phenomena and how it enters your experience is not the goal of the Greater Mysteries, but perfection of self is. There is no value in ritual if  one has no relationship with the deity that is being called.  The purpose of occult initiations is to open up a relationship with the entities that one will use in their occult practice. The idea that some entity, which is over 2,000 years old is going to help someone who is under four decades old just because they can read a passage out of a book is simply stupid. This is why the Simon Necronomicon includes a path of self-initiation.  It is a complete system.

The next hangup that many have in the occult community is the use of money to acquire books or to pay dues to a credible occult organization.  One has to be careful because there are a lot of scams out there. Do your research and check references before aligning with any group, whether it is free to join, or there are membership fees. Membership fees are often used by serious occult organizations to screen out the mere curious from those who are serious about the Greater Mysteries. This principle also applies to the spiritual world as well. Every deity requires some sort of sacrifice, whether its prayerful devotion, bread, or etc. If the said occult organization is an actual physical manifestation of a spiritual one then they have every right to imitate their ruling deity’s action by charging membership fees. Time is money and if a person doesn’t see the need to reimburse someone who as taken their own time to help someone understand a valuable practice, it just further proof that selfish people still exist in the world. While people may believe that they can escape their actions, it must be understood that regardless if a person is walking a dark or light path, success in the occult world lies entirely of virtue. If you are looking for a reputable “occult organization”  where you can really gain some good insight into the Greater Mysteries then look into The Temple of the Vampire. Now let us begin to look at some spiritual practices of the Necronomicon Tradition

Morning Prayer

There are many prayers listed in the Simon Necronomicon, sometimes they are called “incantations. However, there is one prayer that is specifically to be done during the day. The best time for it is when we awaken in the morning. It is mentioned in the beginning of the Second Testimony of the Mad Arab:

“UR! NIPPUR!
ERIDU! KULLAH!
 KESH! LAGASH!
SHURUPPAL SELAH!

Day of Living, Rising Sun
Day of Plenty, gracious Sun
Day of Perfect, Grand Delight
Day of Fortune, Brilliant Night
O Shining Day!
O Laughing Day!
O Day of Life, and Love and Luck!
Seven Oldest, Wisest Ones!
Seven Sacred, Learned Ones!
Be my Guardians, polished Swords
Be my Watchful, patient Lords
Protect me from the Rabishu
O Shining, Splendorous APHKALLHU
!”

This is the Morning Prayer of the Necronomicon Tradition. It is a way of acknoledging and thank the Gate deities for another day and a reminder of our relationship with them. This is not something made up in the mind of Simon, but it is an actual ancient Mesopotamian prayer. If we look further into the APHKALLHU we can get a sense that this is a protective prayer.

The term APHKALLHU derives from the term Apkallu, which Wikipedia gives the following definition:

“The Abgal, (Akkadian: Apkallu) are seven Sumerian demigods said to have been created by the god Enki (Akkadian: Ea) to give civilization to mankind. They served as priests of Enki and as advisors or sages to the earliest “kings” or rulers of Sumeria before the flood. They are credited with giving mankind the me (moral code), the crafts, and the arts. They were seen as fish-like men who emerged from the sweet water Apsu. They are commonly represented as having the lower torso of a fish, or dressed as a fish. They have also been depicted with wings, having either a human head or an eagle’s head.[1]

Adapa (U-an, Oannes) was the first of the Apkallu. The others were U-an-dugga, En-me-duga, En-me-galanna, En-me-buluga, An-enlilda, and Utu-abzu.”

This prayer works very well for protection and prosperity and should be recited twice a day.There are more spiritual practice that are given to us in the Second Testimony of the Mad Arab:

“and the Priest must calm them and take this book, of which he must make a copy in his own,..”

This is also emphasized in the Magan Text:

“I copied these words down in my tongue and kept them faithfully these many years, and my own copy will go with me to the place where I will go..”

It is here that we find one of the most important practices of the Necronomicon Path-Meditation. Before we go ahead any further it is necessary for us to a clear understanding about what meditation really means as it has been often misunderstood in the Western World. The etymology of the term meditation is as follows:

“The word meditation comes from the Indo-European root med-, meaning “to measure.”[1][2] It entered English as meditation through the Latin meditatio, which originally indicated any type of physical or intellectual exercise, then later evolved into the more specific meaning “contemplation.”

 It is with this understanding of the etymology that we are able to look deeper into the term meditation. There are many ‘new age” groups that will emphasize that meditation is a practice wherein the practitioner goal is to empty the mind, but this is not the meaning of the term amongst serious student of the occult and Eastern mysticism, as found in Taoism and etc. In the East, meditation was always considered an activity. It was strongly believed that if a person left the mind empty it could allow negative forces to enter. It is with this understanding that meditative practices were formed, such s the Tea Ceremony and Chinese caligraphy. Thus, the Mad Arab’ made it a requirement  each Initiate copied the text over in their own hand, which is also a meditative exercise that is just as important as the GateWalking rituals of self-initiation.

Warlock Asylum’s Interview With Dan Harms!

Devil & Jesus

Warlock Asylum & Dan Harms Meet Eye To Eye (Art by Ong Chew Peng)

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.

Well, this is certainly a new chapter in the Necronomicon Tradition. I am sure that many of our regular readers are more than familiar with the debates that have occurred between Dan Harms and myself. It has certainly been a pleasure to get to know Dan, not only as an opponent, but as a a comrade in some respects. I must say that although Dan and I have a “weird” friendship, I do respect his work in the Occult Community. We may differ on many aspects of the Necronomicon Tradition, but it is in hopes that something can be gained from our debates.

I must say that I have learned more from our debates than real conversation with other GateWalkers. It has allowed me to really dig through the canals of Ancient Mesopotamian history and really consider the origin of the layered material appearing in the Simon Necronomicon. It has also encouraged me to look more into the Lovecraft Mythos. This is something that every GateWalker should take the time to do.

There is something that is very intriguing about the The Dan Harms Machine but it is something that cannot be calculated. Dan is sincere in his work and is cautious enough to ward off any predator who seeks to betray a certain honesty when it comes to presenting the Greater Mysteries. Of course I must say that we still differ in our opinion of the Simon Necronomicon, but that is no mystery at this point! :) Well I had a chance to talk with Dan the other day via email. We have been corresponding and checking out what we have read while making some suggestions to each other.  I decided to Interview Dan after Venus Satanas made a comment that kind of ended a debate between Harms and myself. I will post Miss Satanas’ comment after this interview, but for now let us zoom in on this conversation between Dan and I:

 1)      Warlock Asylum: I am sure that our regular readers are more than familiar with the name Dan Harms, as well as, many people in the Occult Community, but in your own words Dan, Can you tell us something about yourself and maybe fill us in on some of your accomplishments?

Dan Harms:  I typically keep these short, so I’ll just say I’m the author of The Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia and The Necronomicon Files.  I also write at the blog Papers Falling from an Attic Window on grimoires, the occult, role-playing, Lovecraft, and whatever else I’m in the mood to discuss.  I’m a college librarian in my “other” life.

2) Warlock Asylum: What inspired you to become a writer? What sparked your interest in H. P. Lovecraft?

Dan Harms:  They actually happened in reverse order.  I came across Lovecraft via the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game in middle school, and I was struck by the man’s vision and the pantheon he created, or was attributed to him.  I started to read other Mythos authors, and then I created a file on an old word processing program on the various monsters and books I was encountering.  My intent was never to be a writer; I just wrote, and wrote, and had people encourage me to write, and I ended up with a book.

3)   Warlock Asylum: Many people associate the name “Dan Harms” with the Necronomicon Files, as it is seen all across the internet, what was your intent and approach in writing the book?

Dam Harms:  At the time John and I wrote the book, there wasn’t any single good reference work on the topic of the various Necronomicon hoaxes that were appearing.  Plus, the increased use of the Internet meant that more misinformation about the book was circulating than ever before.  So we set out to document what was out there, being as thorough as possible in terms of covering texts and different perspectives.  We also wanted to be entertaining, so there’s some humor in there.  Some people were offended by that, but it was there for a reason.  There was also not much of a GateWalking community at the time, though we did review a few books supposed to work with the Necronomicon therein.

4)  Warlock Asylum:  Your essays on Lovecraft, the occult, and various other writings have sparked some controversy as to your spiritual path. Some have even accused you of being a member of the O.T.O, How do you normally go about describing your “spiritual path?”

Dan Harms:  First, the “some” who’ve accused me of OTO membership is actually just you.  If there’s someone else, please let me know. I normally don’t describe my spiritual path, for a few different reasons.  One major one is that I’ve seen just how blinkered people can be when it comes to arguments they don’t agree with.  I could be anything from an atheist to a Rastafarian to – gasp! – a Gatewalker, and people would see it as an excuse to disregard what I say.  If I don’t tell them what I believe, they don’t have that excuse, or they have to invent some spirituality with which to attack me, which is often quite amusing and ends up making them look bad.

5)  Warlock Asylum: It seems that a few practitioners of the Simon Necronomicon have become more vocal over the past couple of years; Does this spark some concern on your end?

Dan Harms:  I have actually encouraged Gatewalkers to make their faith more public from time to time, so it’d be odd for me to be concerned about it. If people have something valid to say about their spirituality, then they can say it so the world can hear.  If they have nothing valid to say, they’ll reveal that.  The great benefit of the Internet is that it makes it much easier to find the stupid people.  So, no matter who speaks and their level of commitment, we all benefit.

6)  Warlock Asylum: Over the past couple of years, Dan and I, have had quite a few debates. In your own words Dan; what insights have you gained from these debates if any?

Dan Harms:  Overall, they have been useful, as they’ve meant that, from time to time, I have to re-engage with the source material on Mesopotamian religion, Lovecraft, or other topics.  I do wish that you’d attempt to engage with it in a similar manner, and that is a disappointment.

7)   Warlock Asylum: What advice would you give Warlock Asylum, or any other practitioner of the Simon Necronomicon who chooses this tome as a spiritual path?

Dan Harms:   Well, you asked. First, understand that what you’re practicing is an amalgam of ceremonial magic, Sumerian ritual, pagan sensibilities, and pulp fiction assembled in the mid-Seventies, likely with a profit motive on the part of one or more of the main participants, and with an origin story that’s changed over time.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with practicing such a spiritual path and finding personal satisfaction or growth through it.

Where GateWalkers get into trouble is when they assume that, because the book is impressive or they’re getting results, they can use the book as a source on Mesopotamian religion or Lovecraft, or decide that Simon is a holy prophet, or declare that I must be the devil, or proclaim themselves to be religiously persecuted because someone disagrees with them on the Internet.  Some people will never respect GateWalkers because of their system, but I think they lose much of their support through trying to expound on areas where they don’t have expertise or trying to blow disagreements into tales of deep personal agony.  Of course, developing expertise in those areas and then talking about them deserves respect, and anyone who’s lost family/friends/a home/a job because of their faith deserves sympathy.

Don’t be lazy.  There have been a number of times that I’ve asked various GateWalkers to read a book, or write an essay, or walk to their local library.  It’s amazing how these mighty wizards who can stare the Ancient Ones in the faces and undergo the most arduous initiation processes suddenly find something better to do when someone makes a suggestion that might give them greater understanding or allow them to reach more people.  I don’t expect them to do something just because I suggest it, but when it gets to the point where I feel I have to edit Wikipedia to reflect the practitioner’s perspective, I start to wonder where these GateWalkers are.

Now, if those individuals are so devoted to spirituality that they don’t want to engage with the outside world, that’s fine.  Nonetheless, that’s not the case for most GateWalkers I’ve met.  They claim that they’re horribly misunderstood and looked down upon, and yet they never do anything to challenge those impressions.  Either ignore your critics or engage with them by creating something of worth and value.  Caring about what they say and not doing anything about it is either passive aggressive or an attempt to play the victim.

That’s not to say that there isn’t great potential out there – I’d cite Warlock Asylum and Ashnook as intelligent individuals who could probably turn out some impressive work that would give GateWalking more respectability, if they turned up matters a notch and didn’t get distracted by some of the concerns I’ve raised above.

Warlock Asylum:  I would like to sincerely thank Dan Harms and The Dan Harms Machine for taking the time and agreeing on this Interview. One thing that you can say about Dan, whether you like him or hate him, is that he is a living legend, and his work as a writer has been priceless to the Occult Community, even in spite of the debatablilty of his observations. I think this is a very important chapter in the Necronomicon Tradition that cannot be overlooked even by those who are not involved. I would like to close this Chapter of Necronomicon History with a comment that Venus Satanas made during a debate between Dan Harms and Warlock Asylum. The comment appears  under the article The Simon Necronomicon: A Spiritual Martial Art and can be read in its entirety by clicking on the said link:

“In posting on both of your blogs and reading them for quite some time, I have seen that you are not arguing simply for argument’s sake. that
many things between you have been revealed and understood between you both. I did not mean to cause trouble, nor are your discussions with Dan any of my business, nor is it my place to judge either of you for your beliefs. Regardless, as an observer these things fascinate me and I am always interested in learning about new and unusual methods of magic that aren’t readily
accepted in mainstream occult.”

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).”

-  Women in Mesopotamia (emphasis added)
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.

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.

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:

Spiritually Approcahing The Necronomicon Tradition

I am sure that many of us are happy to be a part of this Tradition and would like to make the best of the workings included in the Simon Necronomicon. It all has a lot to do with approach.

 

The Spirits in the Simon Necronomicon are indeed primal and are very ancient. So I thought that it may be useful to give a few pointers to those who are new along thins path. This information could also apply to those who have worked with the grimoire for some time.

 

Some people have made the mistake, self included of burdening the deities with selfish demands. “I want this!” “Or I am conjuring this spirit to get some results for money!” The list can be quite long. However, all of this evades the purpose of which the Greater Mysteries holds the key to, which is perfection of self.

 

For some reason or another western world has the initiate thinking that magic gives one access to gaining something in ones day-to-day life. This is far from the truth. The practice of magic is to perfect oneself and to honor the Ancient Gods which have long been abandoned due to the advent of the Abrahamic faiths. Asking for “stuff” is like someone going to the bank and begging for a dollar. Most of what we seek to accomplish can be gained by simple work. It is useful to give our intent in the process, but it should not be the aim of invocation in itself. Simon speaks about this in the Necronomicon’s Introduction:

 

“Yet, he must remember that the occult powers that accompany magical attainment are ornamental only, indications of obstacles overcome on the Path to Perfection, and are not to be sought after in themselves, for therein lies the truth Death.”

 

It is first important that the Initiate focuses on his/her initiation, nothing more, and nothing less. All will be provided and protected on this perilous course, but by taking this path we can get to know a spiritual family that is a part of heritage. What do we really think about beggars on the street? Really? What do we think of them? Some stranger asking us for stuff. Now imagine a person just picking up the Necronomicon and asking a spirit to grant those wishes that they should try to figure out on their own. Like you don’t even know Shazu, but your willing to believe that by summoning him he can give you powers of divination. Slow down. First learn to make friends with these spirits by Walking the gates. GateWalking is a journey. It is priceless, but we must first learn discipline by the deities themselves and adjust our paths to that of the gods, which is purity. For you to find favor of a deity you must first aspire to be like one. Develop habits that reflect the nature of the gods when they walked the earth. Make sure that your home is clean. Invest in proper hygiene. Develop a good work ethic. Try to cleanse your body as much as possible. Pray, not to beg, but to communicate with a Spirit as you would a friend. Do you find yourself only calling your friends when you need something? If so, how long would you expect to keep those sorts of friendships?

 

Keep a journal. Be able to keep track of the planets and see what messages they bring into your home life. If you only conjure these deities in hopes to fulfill a desire then you will only be empowering the desire, not yourself.

 

After an extended period of time one can sort out how to approach certain spirits but that comes into play after a relationship is established with them. I hope this answers some of the questions that you may have asked yourself before reading this post.

 

Be well
