Summoning Part 2: Methods of Perception and Communication

During the last decade, a little known but very powerful renaissance has been going on within the occult community as a whole, and specifically within the realms of ritual and ceremonial magic. Ten years ago it was very difficult to find a quality book on spirit summoning that went into any kind of useful detail on the subject. Donald Michael Kraig, author of one of the few books that outlined summoning – the CM classic “Modern Magick” – relates how in his own journey to understand and practice evocation he ran up against a lot of ignorance on the subject. Evocation was alternately seen as dangerous, difficult, highly advanced work, immoral, a work of psychic masturbation, and any number of other labels that served to mystify and confound the subject for anyone who wanted to study AND practice it seriously.

During the last several years, it was my pleasure to obtain a number of new and re-released books on the subject by several highly qualified (and occasionally not-so-qualified) authors across the occult spectrum. With the growth and popularization of the Internet, especially the web-groups and blog platforms, information about the occult is spreading and exploding at an exponential rate. If there were any doubts in your mind whether we’ve come to a New Age, put them to rest – the Age of Aquarius has arrived!

What’s been so exciting about utilizing the Internet to study magic is the ability to chat and post back and forth with the very same authors whose books you are reading. Practitioners (and not just armchair theorists, though they are always welcome) are sharing their experiences and findings with each other and inspiring a whole new generation of priests and magicians. I highly recommend that anyone who wants to practice summoning in depth join up with one of the better web-groups on Yahoo such as Aaron Leitch’s Solomonic magick group or Joseph Peterson’s Mosaic magick group. I myself have a group on Yahoo for the study of the Lesser Key of Solomon (the Lemegeton): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lemegeton

And of course there are groups dedicated solely to Nec-related magick as well, such as the Order of the Necronomicon Disciples of Enki

What you will find if you study this subject in depth is that there are a number of different ways to perceive, call, and communicate with spirits, ranging from the most elaborate ceremonies to the most casual conversations. I would say that the two biggest factors you will find at work in who uses what method is the spiritual/magical background of the practitioner (Wiccan, CM, Chaoist, etc) and their natural paranormal abilities, which includes traditional psychic vision but is not limited to it in any regards.

Some people will swear by a certain way of doing things, but it will not be fruitful for others to go about it in the same fashion. Sadly, a lot of the occult community is still trying to break out of the entrenched patterns that were established by the Golden Dawn over a hundred years ago. These prejudices have proven to be as frustrating for working-class Wiccans as much as for, say, practitioners of Enochiana.

Remember that in previous articles I explained that many people get stuck in the Lesser mysteries and can spend a lifetime there without growing to a new level of gnosis. One of the flags for the “babes in Christ”, as I like to call them, is that they get very rigid about doing things the way they were taught to them originally. They tend to take what was taught as ineffable gospel truth until they learn to think – and more importantly, experiment – for themselves.

Even in the supposedly enlightened occult community, there are large numbers of people who get very dogmatic about things, and summoning hasn’t escaped this reach. There are several folks out there claiming to have (re)discovered the “one, true way” of summoning spirits in the classical and “authentic” manner. Such authors should be taken with a grain of salt, because its very evident if you talk to people on the groups that there are plenty of roads to Rome and that lots of people using lots of methods from different background are all getting results and getting excited about the possibilities of magic.

Here is a hopefully lengthy, but not exhaustive, list of techniques and practices related to summoning. You may choose to incorporate and combine any number of them in your own practice, but don’t be haphazard about it. Remember that even the left hand paths demand that you break the rules deliberately and decisively and don’t equate liberty with recklessness.

*Drugs – Lets face it, drugs have been a huge part of human culture, religion, and magic since the beginning. They are a very quick and easy way to wire yourself into the spirit world and they do wonders for many people, but can also be problematic. The biggest issue with drugs is that they used to be used, for the most part, in a religious context with a reverance and respect that is often lacking in the modern world. Modern drugs have created so many problems, IMHO, because they are both synthesized too many steps from their natural state and they are used with a careless and dangerous attitude. Each drug is overseen by a particular class of spirits and these spirits must be respected when you use the drug to unlock its full potential. Also, different drugs work on very different parts of the brain and body; some take a person back into their evolutionary past and others can place a person ahead of their time (FAR ahead). KNOW YOUR DRUGS when you use them and remember that a little goes a long way!

*Inhibitory trance – The Chaoists have outlined two main forms of trance accessible through subjecting the body to unusual amounts of stress, and this is the first. Sleep deprivation, fasting, and even vegetarian diet can fall into this class. What I have found with these techniques is that they require a lot of practice and discipline to use effectively – they will not necessarily produce results in themselves. Depriving yourself of sleep in the hopes of seeing the spirits more clearly usually doesn’t work in my experience. Lucid dreams present wonderful opportunities but require that you still allow natural sleep to occur in tandem with your practices – else they quickly become unhealthy in excess. The biggest problem with these techniques is that they are often, sadly, an outlet for a very subtle form of spiritual masochism. This goes back to the monks of the middle ages who used to flagellate themselves in hopes of beating the sin out of their bodies and growing closer to God. You might be amazed how much this still goes on in the modern occult community – people starve themselves of sleep, sex, food, and any number of other natural necessities in hopes they can sacrifice their way to success.

*Excitatory trance – Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah! Nothing is true, everything is permitted! Indulge those desires to the extreme, and flood your senses with so much wholesome goodness that you see God! WOOHOO!

Eh, its not always that simple, and this class of techniques presents the opposite problem as inhibitory techniques. People can get so caught up in satisfying their pleasures they forget that they were pursuing something extra-sensual as well. The spirits, especially those hungry for energy, love to participate in rites involving these techniques, and they can get results very quickly. What is important here is to make sure you are not using the trance goal as an excuse for doing something you would not otherwise allow yourself to enjoy. Go enjoy your body outside of ritual too – don’t feel like ritual is your only outlet for getting the pleasure that is essential to life and happiness.

*Ritual Ceremonies - Everything has to look FABULOUS for the spirits to show up! Did you get all your correspondences correct? Is everything set up perfectly in your $1000 customized temple? Are you using the astrological timing that only emerges once in a thousand years, and did you set your clock correctly to account for daylight savings? Did you obtain the lion skin and the virgin thread properly? It has to be perfect or they won’t show up! Ahhh!!!

No, this is soooo not the case. It has frequently been observed by myself and my magical colleagues that the spirits will show up way before the “official” rituals even get started, and sadly have to sit around and wait patiently while some CM makes sure he crosses all his Taus and dots all his Pentagrams.

Nonetheless, there is nothing quite as stirring as a good ceremony. Wanna know the secret? KEEP IT REAL! Be honest and brave and always authentic when you step up to perform rituals – NEVER GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS BLANDLY.

*Scrying - I am gazing into my crystal ball… gazing…gazing…my eyes are starting to hurt and I don’t know what exactly it is I’m seeing…

First of all, scrying can be used with many different kinds of media. The crystal ball is of course classic and powerful because of its deep associations, history, and the nature of spherical balls of piezoelectric quartz crystal. However, the ancients employed many other kinds of surfaces, including oil, fire, marble, and water. Donald Tyson’s book on Scrying goes into these practices in more detail if any of you are interested.

I actually used to scrye into the faux-marble surface of my shower lining when I was a kid, and I still tend to do it unconsciously when I come across a similar kind of surface. I have also scried into such weird surfaces as the mud that has splattered onto bus windows (it looks remarkably like Los Angeles). My point is that you can scrye through any surface that is composed of seemingly random arrangements of line, shape, and pattern. Experiment with different media both to save money and to increase the versatility of your gifts.

The second thing about scrying is that you shouldn’t limit yourself to only your eyeballs, in either a mundane or astral sense. Allow and integrate the psychic equivalents of your other four senses as well. This is especially important because not everyone is wired to perceive things through a mainly visual medium. Many people are much more auditory than visual and could have as much luck scrying through radio static as they could through a crystal ball. As Don Juan Matus told Carlos Castaneda in “A Seperate Reality”, there is a difference between looking and really SEEING, and Seeing (the original meaning of scrying) is not limited to just your eyes and their astral counterparts.

When scrying, it is important to relax and just let your gaze flow through the medium and off into the distance. Do not strain your eyes and try to force yourself to see something. Allow light to bend and refract through the medium naturally. Adjust the amount of light so that you are comfortable – you don’t want too much or too little. Also, the use of drugs or incense can powerfully boost your abilities in this practice, because they will turn off the psychic filter of your mental chatter and turn ON the circuit of the spirit or information you are trying to perceive. Use classic correspondence guides and Timothy Leary’s Circuits Model of Consciousness to help determine which drugs and/or incense are ideal to your purpose at hand.

*Drift/Derive – On the road again… I can’t wait to get on the road again… walking out of my mind again…

This technique of walking into another dimension under or overlaying a mundane landscape is a favorite of chaos magi. I’ve put it to excellent use myself. Stephen Grasso wrote a great article about it for Jason Louv’s magical compendium “Generation Hex”. It allows you to enter the Dreaming at almost anytime by utilizing a very traditional and shamanic approach to exploration and travel.

The only thing I would advise with this method is to make DAMN sure you are clear about when you have entered and when you are leaving Dreamspace. Mark it ritually in some way or another, or you could very well never come back again. Neil Gaiman’s classic novel “Neverwhere” is, to a great degree, about the wonders and dangers a man experiences when he falls into the Dreamscape of “London Below”. There is a similar story in the Sandman anthology “World’s End” about a man who takes regular walks through a city, and one day accidently stumbles into its astral counterpart. Sadly, there are many homeless folk out there that are still living in these alternate realities and have yet to return to concensus with the rest of us.

These are just a few examples of popular modes of perception through which you can perceive and communicate with spirits you have summoned. In addition to Tyson’s book on Scrying, my friend and fellow Abramelin grad Athena Nightshade has a popular online course on scrying and other spiritual perception for those who are interested.

2012 and The Simon Necronomicon: The Return of the Ancient Ones!

Greetings!

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

Well, this article is something that I have been working on for quite some time. It seems that everyone has been up in the air about what will happen during the year 2012 and what is means for the future of humanity.

If the reader were to do a simple google search on the year 2012, they would stumble upon many theories concerning December 21st 2012 and all of this for the most part is still speculation. The interpretation of the year 2012 can only be understood and explained by those who carry on the same tradition as the Mayans inherited their calendar from a prior civilization

Before we begin looking further into this discussion, it is important for us to take into consideration that many of the adherents to the Abrahamic Faiths, place a lot of importance on doomsday events and we should take into consideration what fear actually does to the human body and mind. For further insight on this matter, I ask that the reader review one of our previous articles entitled Finding Fear.

We should also take into account that many of the Mayan documents were destroyed by the invading Europeans, since they viewed many of the Mayan practices as demonic. This is why we mention that only keepers of the Tradition similar to the Mayans could understand what is meant by the few Mayan writings that we have left, and by comparing these sparse documents with the histories of other ancient civilization can we come to understand what will transpire.

The exact date of the ending of the Mayan Calendar, also known as, the Long Count calendar is December 21, 2012. Will Hart, in the article, 2012: End of the Fifth Sun, mentions the following:

“The Maya conceived of time and history as moving in cycles, small and large. While we use a single calendar to keep track of our annual solar circuit and to mark all of the improtant days within a year, the Maya used a variety of calendars. The array included a 365-day solar calendar, a 260-day sacred calendar and a Long Count calendar that operasted something like an odometer with a zero start date. Unlike the other calendars the Long Count clocked linear time and was progarmmed to stop after 5, 125 years elapsed.

The Long Count was begun at the onset of this current cycle known as the 5th Sun in 3114 B.C.”

Hart’s discussion can be viewed further at this link 2012 Although the world may remain in ignorance as to what the “Fifth Sun” refers to, we as Asuras (GateWalkers) are very much aware of what the “Fifth Sun” means.

First, it must be understood that a Sun or star is a portal that not only radiates heat and etc, but consciousness. The Five Suns are described in the Simon Necronomicon, as well as, The Enuma Enuma “>Elish.  Will will be using the creation account in the Simon Necronomicon, our understanding of the actual Enuma Elish in comparison to the Simon Necronomicon was covered in one of our previous articles found here.

The Magan Text opens with the following:

“Then it was that the Gods were formed within the Ancient Ones. LLMU and LLAAMU (1st Sun)were brought forth and called by Name, And for Ages they grew in age and bearing. ANSHAR and KISHAR  ( 2nd Sun)were brought forth, And brought forth ANU (3rd Sun)  -Who beget NUDIMMUD, Our Master ENKI (4th Sun)…ENKI our Master, fearing defeat, summoned his Son MARDUK (5th Sun)”

In our article entitled The Race of Enki we were able to see the five root races described by Madame Blavatsky and the Theosophy Movement also within the creation account in the Magan Text and the Enuma Elish. However, we must also consider that these “root races” that all mankindfall under are ruled and shaped by the consciousness emanating from the Sphere of the Sun.

According to many researchers of the Mayan Calendar, as we have seen with Hart’s quote above, the 5th Sun came at, or about 3114 BC. This is around or about the time of the emergence of the Sumerian Civilization dated from 3100-2800 BC after the deluge. This was also a time when the Mother-Son Cults or the Moon-Serpent Cults began to be replaced by Solar worship and the Solar Rites. In a prior article, which was published here on the GateWalker’s Page entitled Origins of the Race of Watchers, we discussed that Waddell even ascertained that the religious rites shifted from that of the “aboriginal Chaldeans” to a modern Chaldean concept of Solar Worship. This was evident in the famous myth of  The Huluppu Tree wherein Gilgamesh aids Ishtar by ridding the tree of the prior rites of worship and so the Anzu bird and Lilith/Lamashtu flee their home that they made in the Tree, in which Ishtar was able to setup a Throne. Later we discover in the Gilgamesh Epics that Gilgamesh spurned Ishtar’s love thereby symbolizing mankind moving away from the Mother-Sun worship that the Venusian Priesthood employed.

Interestingly, Will Hart also makes this observation in the same article quoted above:

“It will clock the required number of years to complete a full cycle of five suns on December 21, 2012…..The Maya began their Long Count on what they referred to as  the ‘Birth of Venus.’Scholars have never been able to determine what the Maya were referring to and neither have alternative researchers.”

From the above quote we can see that the Long Count calendar, from which the date December 21, 2012 is derived, began by what the Mayans referred to as the ‘Birth of Venus.’ This is where the insight of keepers of the Necronomicon Tradition (Cult of the Dead, the most ancient religion known to man. See Secret Society article.) can explain what scholars have difficulty with.

We know that the era of the 5th Sun began the post-flood era of ancient Sumeria and with it the emergence of Solar Worship over the Mother-Son Cults. The early Sumerians designated Venus as corresponding to the Goddess Ishtar. The name Ishtar means star. Yet Ishtar is also another form of the Goddess Tiamat. keeping all of this in mind, let us now look at the pages of another ancient book, known as the Bible.

The creation account that appears in the first chapter of Genesis is probably one of the most misunderstood creation myths to have ever been read by man. The reason is very simple. Every creative day that appears in the Genesis Chapter 1 ends with words “And the evening and the morningwere the ___ day.” I am surprised that it has never crossed believers in the Bible; As to Why “evening” would proceed “morning?”Another question that would arise is how could there be an evening and morning even before the Sun and Moon appeared? Evidently this term evening and morning was symbolic in meaning.

The book of Genesis was written about 1400 B.C.E. This was well past the time of the emergence of the Sumerian civilization. It was well-known that during the time Genesis was written that, Ishtar, Queen of Heaven, was known as the Morning and Evening star. As the Morning Star, her name is Dilbah, Goddess of War and Hunting, and as the Evening Star her name is Zib. This would indicate that the creative days as described in Genesis Chapter One, refers to Ishtar’s Descent into the Underworld (Earth, Ereshkigal). If we note that in Ishtar’s Descent into The underworld, Ishtar is said to give up an article at each gate. In the myths of earlier origin, concerning the Goddess Inanna, it is said that she gave up one of the mes, or creative powers at each gate. With this understanding, we can determine that the frist chapter of Genesis actually describes the descent of the Watcher-Class personified as Ishtar into the earthly realm. These Watchers evidently took human bodies for themselves to do a special work of preparing the Earth and mining some of its resources. Due to the severity of the conditions, human beings were created by Enlil to ease the labor of the Watchers. The Watchers then try to teach man to advance himself by sharing with man the science of technology and magic. They were known in Genesis as the serpent, or seers. Evidently, what they told early man was NOT a lie because it is said that man was able to make clothes for themselves and they lived on for hundreds of years after. We then discover that “God” walks through the garden during the breezy part of the day, the God of Wind is Enlil, and gives man and the Watchers an adverse judgement. The Watchers evidently lost memory of themselves and their ability to climb the heavenly latter, as it is said the serpent was bruised in the head. This Biblical prophecy seems to imply that the Watcher were to ose memory of the heritage and remain in human form. Genesis seems to imply this for it says that “enmity” would occur between the serpent’s seed and that of mankind, and for such things to exist both parties must be bound to the Earthly plane. Another indication of this can be found in Genesis 6: 4 were it mentions that the Nephilim appeared in those days and afterwards, which shows their perpetual existence in this plane. The Watcher-Class being bound to the Earthly Plane and not fully aware of their heritage or powers is what the Mayans meant by the Birth of Venus or Ishtar. Knowing that Ishtar is an aspect of Tiamat we can see the same message as it is said that Tiamat is ‘dead but dreaming.” This indicates that only the subconscious force is opened, which would lend to such abilities as telepathy, astral projection, and etc. Yet these abilities would not have a direct impact on the world as we know it today, as there are many people in the modern age who have denied that such abilities even exist.

Interestingly, Jesus admits that he is of this Watcher Class also in revelation Chapter 22:16:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify to you these things in churches. I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”

This would explain why Jesus would teach in parables, but would reveal the deeper things to his students because his student were of the Watcher-Class or Ishtar, which Jesus refered to as the Virgin’s meeting the Bridegroom.

Since we have discovered that the Ishtar-Class is surviving in the Underworld, we know that the myth about her descent also involves her awakening and restoration to power. Notice what the Mad Arab says in the Simon Necronomicon:

“Know that TIAMAT seeks ever to rise to the stars, and when the Upper is united with the Lower, then a new age will come of Earth..”

The Mad Arab is describing the full restoration of the Watcher’s abilities and power. Interestingly, man fears  life from somewhere out in the universe and still hasn’t ascertained that the Watcher Class dwells amongst mankind here. Notice what the Mad Arab mentions in his Second Testimony:

“for the Race of Draconis was ever powerful in ancient times, ..and they drew down much strength from the stars,..”

When our family were in their full being, the Watcher-Class, we had the strength of a Sun behind us. So there was no feat that was impossible. Now as our Sun prepares to move into alignment with the center of the Milky Way, we can be certain that the God of Water will usher in the Age of Aquarius by acting as Water-Bearer and bestowing upon us the energies from Universe B, which will enable us to exact judgement on Earth. This is the very reason why the Fall of Man occurred on the same day God rested. The Watcher- Class could best see the condition of this realm by becoming a part of it and sharing in its experiences whether good or bad. We know very well what effects planetary and stellar shifts has on our present consciousness. This shift will fully awaken us and complement the work we have engaged in thus far. While we regain our full stellar powers represented by Ishtar being raised from the underworld, we will also face resistance by the governing powers who have built an arsenal of nuclear weapons which cannot match up to our latent abilities.

The Watcher-Class that exists on Earth today can look forward to the year 2012 as a time period where we will awaken fully and can share with mankind new ways of living that are in connection with the universe.

Some Misconceptions About GateWalking

Greetings!

I hope this article finds you in the best of health and spirits. If this is your first time visiting us here, please take the time to review some of our previous articles.

I thought that it would be a good time to discuss some misconceptions that may occur along the path. Listed below are a few of these misconceptions and the results of making such mishaps:

1) Walking the Gates out-of-order.

The simon Necronomicon is very clear that the first Gate that should be Walked is the Nanna Gate. There are no preliminary gates to Walk before Nanna. Anybody who has studied Kabbalistic Correspondences will easily understand this. it’s very simple. Follow the instructions given in the book. Walking the Gates out-of-order can actually cause bad effects in ones life, and even lead to circumstances that are even worse.

2) Walking Gates Over and Over Again

The results of continual GateWalking is not that bad. However, it can cause the Initiate’s life to become stagnant. One the GateWalking Process is completed, the Initiate can freely summon any of the deities in prayer over the Aga Mass Ssaratu, but to Walk the Gates over and over again can create stagnant currents and defeats the purpose of Walking in the first place-initiation.

3) Believing that there is a real war between the Elder Gods and the Ancient Ones

This belief is okay and is often promoted so that the student doesn’t work with energies that can harm him/her. However, the Initiate should see over time that this “idea” is completely metaphorical. This attitude is usually maintained by people who have not let their “false ego” collapse, and it is this same “ego” that convinces them that they are need by the same force that created them, in a fight against even more primal forces.

4) NOT USING the Incantation of the Ancient One in the Urillia Text

We are told to open and close many of the rituals in the Simon Necronomicon with the following phrases: Zi Kia Kanpa! Zi Anna Kanpa! This means must honor the stellar energies (heavenly) and earthly (chthonic) energies. Simon in his book, Gates of the Necronomicon, mentions that the Priest/Priestess must honor his unique heritage of being a child of both the Elder Gods and ancient Ones. When the Initiate works with only one-half of these energies their lives will become stagnant because there is no circulation.

5) Continuing the Conjuration of the Watcher after Initiation has occurred.

We have written about this in small detail in previous pages. When one performs the DurAnKI Rite that appears in the Urillia Text, we and the Watcher become one. This is the true meaning of the Sacred Marriage Rite. If the Initiated Priest were to then Summon the Watcher after this rite has occurred, they would only be feeding a deceptive spirit and not the Watcher. The Watchers that are summoned during the GateWalking Process of Initiation are Watchers of the Underworld. They are chthonic and that’s why they are called KIAMASS SSARATU. Once you work with the DurAnKi rite given in the Urillia Text you become one with your stellar self, some refer to this process as the conversation with your Holy Guardian Angel.

6) Belief that One can Walk away from the System

The book says that “Inanna takes her own for her own.”  Once Inanna chooses you a man cannot take another bride. This means, man or woman, the initiate will still affected by his/her new self, new energies, and new spiritual family for life. This doesn’t mean that the initiate is not free to investigate other systems, or become devoted to any other religions. What it does mean is that once true Initiation has occurred the energies that one throughout our very beings are the same energies that are described in Sumerian Mythologies, and must be addressed as such.

Enochian Meaning of the Term “Mad Arab”

Greetings!

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 located in the menu section first.

In some of our previous posts, we spoke about the connections between the Simon Necronomicon Current and Enocnian Magic, which can be seen here. After posting these articles, a few GateWalkers (Asarus), who have been working with the Rites of the Ancient Ones, have also stumbled across some interesting insights concerning this subject.

I was recently contacted by an Ancient One via telephone. We often share experiences and have been diligently working on the mystical aspects of the Simon Necronomicon Current as revealed in the Urillia Text workings. He told me that he was in one of the meditative practices of the Ancient Ones. During this meditation he was able to see the trials of the Mad Arab, and also noticed the Mad Arab melting away. In this ‘trance” he was told to look up the term Mad Arab in Enochian and it would reveal a new perspective in the Necronomicon Tradition, and he did just that.

After he discussed his experience with me, I decided to do the same, and the result shed a new light on the identity of the Mad Arab, as well as, reinforcing some of the material that we discussed earlier.  so before we get into the deeper aspects of this discussion, it is imperative that we define the term Mad Arab in Enochian. Let us look further into this matter

Enochian                                                    English Meaning

Mad                                                                    God or Your God

Ar                                                                        That

Ab                                                                       Daughter of Light

Form the above Enochian Translation, we can easily see that the term Mad Arab means Your God that Daughter of Light. This would seem to indicate that the Mad Arab was indeed Ishtar. Now I must remind the reader that Ishtar is another aspect of Tiamat. We discussed this in one our previous articles entitled The Qliphothic Tree of Transformation Part 2. The term Ishtar is a metaphor describing a Class of Watchers, which is identical to the Bridegroom Class that Jesus (Enki) was seeking to resurrect in the Christian Mythologies. I would also like to make aware to the reader that there are some very good articles that explore the depths of Ishtar’s identification with Tiamat that can be viewed here and here.

Now that we have discovered that the term Mad Arab is a reference to Ishtar, let us compare the  parts of the Simon Necronomicon to see if it also gives some references to this as well.

First, it should be obvious that the Mad Arab, according to his/her First Testimony, is in the same condition that Ishtar was in when she visited Cutha. The Mad Arab concludes his First Testimony by revealing to us that “the entire host of Ereshkigal lies waiting, dreaming, drooling for my departure.” We find this statement is an echo of what appears in the Magan Text:

“ERESHKIGAL rejoiced.”

There is also something interesting that can be gleamed for the Mad Arab’s First Testimony, which is contained in the Mad Arab’s opening words:

“I have seen One Thousand-and-One Moons and surely this is enough for the span of a man’s life, though it is said the Prophets lived much longer.”

The life-span of the “Prophets,” that the Mad Arab is referring to is none other than Enoch who lived for 365 years, which is a reference to the Solar Rites, since there are 365 days in a Solar year, and Enoch was 7th in line from Adam symbolizing the 7 days of a week. However, if we keep in mind that there are 13 moons in one Solar year and divide 13 into 1,001- we would get the number 77, or 77 years.

The sum of our calculation, being 77 years, is a metaphor. The Mad Arab opens up his First testimony by stating that he has “seen One Thousand-and-One moons.” Later on in his Testimony he states the following:

“But now, after One Thousand-and-One moons of the journey,  The maskim nip at my heels, the Rabishu pull at my hair.”

Here we can see that the “One Thousand-and-One moons” is not the actual time that the Mad Arab lived, but was a metaphor for the time that he spent as an Initiate of the Necronomicon Tradition.  There are other factors that will help us to see that the “Mad Arab” was a personification of the Ishtar Class of Watchers.

Enochian Magic and the Simon Necronomicon

Greetings!

Before leaving work today, I thoughtthat it would be nice to expand on the topic of the Simon Necronomicon’s connection to Enochian Magic. I had the opportunity this afternoon to visit one of the great resource in the Enochian World- EVOCATION MAGIC. This is a wonderful website where one can gain some good insights into the world of Enochian Magic. I had a chance to speak with Adept Vovin and another Adept Igdvl73, and they shared some useful perspectives concerning the Enochian System of Magic. From their observations and being familiar with both the Necronomicon and Enochian Currents, the energies behind the Systems are different, and should be treated as two different Magical Systems.

Both of these Adepts were of the understanding that while Simon may have been a good pratitioner of Enochian Magic and used its principles in development of the Simon Necronomicon, the current of energy is different and what is gleemed from the both systems rains upon the pratitioner of either system in a different way. This perspective was also share with me by one of my students/ So for those of you who have read the previous article concerning the Enochian-Necronomicon Connection, know that the Systems are different even though Simon wrote the Necronomicon using some elements and principles he discovered while working with Enochian Magic. We will explore some of these principles inour next article.

The Simon Necronomicon is The Method of Self-Initiation Into Enochian Magick

Greetings!

I would like to welcome everyone hear to the GateWalker’s Info Page. If this is your first time here, it would be useful for you to begin your journey by reviewing some of our older articles, to see how we came upon our current thesis.

Many people across the Occult Community, and GateWalkers alike have often wondered what place does the Simon Necronomicon have with Enochian Magic?. Contrary to the opinion of critics who try to label the Simon Necronomicon as a hoax, the Tome was actually a method of self-initiation into Enochain Magick. Before the Simon Necronomicon was published, Simon had a very unique reputation as being very skilled in Enochian Magick.  Alan Cabal is one of the few people who witnessed the secret process of how the Simon Necronomicon was created. Although Mr. Cabal seems to express some resentment about the Simon Necronomiconm he did admit the following in a New York Press Article entitled The Doom that Came to Chelsea:

“Into this bubbling swamp of spiritual feducitystepped Peter Levenda, aka “Simon” Charming, soft-spoken and aloof, well-versed in all aspects of occult theory and practice…..and showed a genuine knack for clarifying and elucidating such baroque encrypted arcana as John Dee’s Enochain magic system in such a way as to make it understandable even to a novice.”

Many critics of the Simon Necronomicon often point to this article in their failed attempts to prove that the grimoire is a hoax. Yet these same critics fail to observe how even Simon’s enemies respected his skill in the Occult Arts. I am surprised that critics of the Simon Necronomicon never took the time to ask themselves why would someone so skilled in the Occult Arts be involved in a hoax? What these critics fail to realize is that someone so skilled in the Occult Arts  wouldn’t produce a product that would corrupt the same arts that they are so involved in. Simon was an adept in the system of Enochian Magick and because of such, Simon was also aware of the pitfalls in the Enochian System, one being Initiation into the System. It was with this reason that Simon created the grimoire we know today as the Simon Necronomicon.

While Herman Slater and others on the Simon Necronomicon team may have looked at it from another perspective the real Magus in the group was Simon, and if Slater was going to fund the project, then  Simon would use this as an opportunity to address the process of Self-Intiation into the Enochian Current. Evidence of this can be found in the book entitled Gates of The Necronomicon.  It is in Gates of the Necronomicon that Simon reveals that it was Slater who injected the Lovecraft asthetics into the Tome, notice what Simon mentions on page 24:

“Simon had never read any of the Lovecraft opus prior to seeing the Necronomicon…,(page 25) It was Herman Slater who described the book’s importance to Simon.”

The above quote indicates that Simon didn’t inject the Lovecraft theme into the SN, it was Herman Slater. This also shows us that the idea of the Simon Necronomicon being  a fabricated hoax, wasn’t  Simon’s intention, but a way for him to reconcile certain problems he found int he Enochian System of magick. Simon admits this on page 30:

“Much has been written and discussed within the occult groups and publications concerning the Enochian system of magick…Unfortunately, there were errors in the Causabon volume. These errors were compounded by a few misperceptions by Mathers and perpetuated by Israel Regardie….(page 31 ) Once the initiates had passed beyond a certain level in their theory and practice, the system seemed to short-circuit on them….The System itself was flawed and, in view of this author, dangerous especially to those most able to take advantage of it: that is, dangerous to those with sensitivity and sincerity required to Master the System and to become Magi….That said let us investigate what all of this has to do with the  Nexcronomicon”

Here we can see Simon’s overview of the Enochian System and possibly some of his perspective when he began working with Slater on the Simon Necronomicon. It would indeed be logical that Simon could make such an observation since Alan Cabal, who later criticized the Simon Necronomicon, mentioned in the New York Press article that we discussed earlier, that Simon was highly-versed in Enochian Magick.  Simon evidently points out some flaws that he saw in the “System” of Enochian Magick, which evidently he sought to correct by creating a Initiatory Structure for the Enochian System-the result was the Simon Necronomicon. Will will discuss in an upcoming article how the Simon Necronomicon is to be used with the Enochian Current
