Jesus Christ is Lucifer Part 2: The GateWalking Avatar

Greetings!

Welcome to the GateWalker’s Info Page. If this is your first time here please review some of our previous articles first, so that you can understand the depths of our present discussion. Readers of this article concerning Jesus Christ, are first advised to read our previous discussion concerning the Christ found under the topic Jesus is Lucifer.

It is evident with one quick google search that many critics of the Simon Necronomicon will accuse Simon of inventing the GateWalking Process of Initiation and further assert that it is not a part of the Ancient Mysteries. However, through a close examination of the gospel account we san come to the realization that jesus was a GateWalker and took the form of his initiation just as it is described in the Simon Necronomicon.

The Simon Necronomicon states that \”INANNA TAKES HER OWN FOR HER OWN.\” This is probably one of the most misunderstood passage in the Necronomicon. What is meant by Inanna taking her own for her own, has a lot to do with initiation. We have discussed this many times on previous pages. The link shown prior, INANNA TAKES HER OWN FOR HER , gives a full meaning as to what this passage remains and how it relates to the starseeds.

Let us now make a comparative study of the gospel accounts and the Simon Necronomicon to show that Jesus also went through the process of GateWalking.

The NANNA Gate = Immacualte Conception.

Luke Chapter 1: 34-38 describes Mary as being a Virgin. This compares greatly with Ishtar (Inanna) who was also described as the Virgin Mother of Tammuz. It is also interesting to note that it is Gabriel who was used to impregnate the Virgin Mary. Gabriel in Judaic Kabbalistic Tradition is considered to be the Angel of Yesod, or what some may call the Sphere of the Moon. In the Qliphotic Tradition, corresponds to Gamaliel, which is ruled by Lilith.

I find that it is no coincidence that the Angel Gabriel is associated with the same Sphere whose Qliphotic correspondence is Lilith, Queen of the Sucubus and Incubus. It is evident that the Angel Gabriel acted in the same manner as an Incubus, but without the ‘dark asthetics.’

The Simon Necronomicon the following about the Nanna Gate:

“The God of the Moon is the God NANNA. He is the Father of the Zonei…and possesses the secret of the tides of blood.”

The Babylonian Tammuz was known to Sumerians as Dumuzi “the only-begotten Son” or “Son of the Blood.”

NEBO Gate = jesus visits temple at 12 years of age

Luke Chapter 2 describes Jesus visit to the temple at the age of 12. Jesus was said to have been in the temple asking the “doctors” questions and listening to them. It is interesting to note that a “doctor” is a mercurial aspect. Enki, in the Sumerian Tradition was associated with Mercury, and is also relative to the medical field. Later, this association was designated to Nebo by the Babylonians. When mary and Joseph finally found Jesus in the temple, he is noted to have said:

“was ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?”

Here we can also see another correspondence to the Necronomicon Tradition. Jesus was 12 years old at the time he first conducted his Father’s business.’ The Simon Necronomicon mentions the following:

“The number of NEBO is twelve..”

In the INVOCATION OF THE NEBO GATE, Nebo is described as the Master of Chemical Science. This would correspond to what we call a “doctor” today. Also the Mad Arab states in the Book of Entrance that ‘Enki is our Father.

Gates of Ishtar to Adar + Jesus Baptism

We have no Biblical record of Jesus in the years that followed until he reaches the age of 29 1/2 years when he gets baptized. Interestingly, it takes Saturn 29 1/2 years to orbit around the Sun! Before  one Walks the Gate of Adar they must venture into Ganzir, or DAATH as some would call it. Therefore, it is when we reach Adar that we have descended into the foul pit and arise with a new understanding. I find it interesting that Christians show their dedication to their Lord by being submerged underneath the water and then rising up from it and this process must be done with the aid of someone who is already initiated like John the Baptist.

Matthew Chapter 3 covers much concerning Jesus’ baptism. In this account we find that after Jesus was baptized, God’s spirit descended upon them as a dove. Interestingly, a dove was the sacred symbol of Ishtar, It seems that after jesus was baptized by John, he went on to fulfill his work. jesus no longer needed John. This would mean then that John acted in the same manner as the Watcher acts in the initiatory rites of the Simon Necronomicon. While these points may be refuted by some as mere coincidence, the question still remains as to Why would the God of the whole universe use the same symbols in his worship that the “pagan” people who held the Jews in captivity used centuries earlier? I think we all know the answer to that

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.

The Simon Necronomicon Tradition Within the Origins of Christianity Part 1: Jesus is Lucifer!

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 first to understand our present discussion.

I am sure that many of our readers are familiar with the Christian doctrine.  It is very interesting to discover that the source of most Christian beliefs are derived from Babylonian sources,  the same nation that Christian and Jewish scholars deem unholy. One of the basic principles of Christianity is that salvation only comes through an individual’s belief and faith in Jesus Christ. Many Christians substantiate their faith in Jesus as being the only Way to the Heavenly Father based on the Biblical passage that is found in John Chapter 14:6, which states:

“Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (King James Version)

Although Christians are so quick to deem Babylonian Traditions as demonic, due to their lack of personal study,  it is the same Traditions that they honour in their worship to Jesus Christ. The idea of a mediator between a deity and man is a Babylonian concept. Francois Lenormant in his book Chaldean Magic, mentions the following on page 28:

“Having stated this, the incantation directs the god Fire to address himself to Silik-mulu-dug (Assyrian form of Marduk), the mediator before Hea (Enki).”

We can see how this relates to our work as Asarus or GateWalkers. However, it also relates heavily to certain Chrisitain precepts since their ideologies are based on a distortion of the Chaldean Mythologies. Lenormant sites how the Assyrian Marduk (Silik-mulu-dug) operated as mediator between man and Enki, who is called the Father in the Simon Necronomicon Tradition, as well as,  that of the Chaldeans as he was known amongst the Assyrians as Hea.

Interestingly, Marduk was also known as the “slayer of the dragon”, which is an attribute of the Christ among some sects of Chrisitianity. It is amazing how the Christian Church has merged many of the Chaldean Deities into a few characters of the Christian Pantheon. Another example of this can be seen by observation of the Trinity Doctrine. We know as GateWalkers and keepers of the Chaldean Mysteries that when we call the Wather the Great Three Watchers are to come as well, which are Anu, Enlil, and Enki. Notice what is mentioned by Lenromant in his book Chaldean Magic on page 115:

“Damascius describes this great trinity among the Chaldeans,…These three coequal and co-substantial divine persons were not of the same degree of emanation, but they issued on the contrary one from the other

Lenormant is gives us a good description of this “trinity” on the preceding page:

“Next to Ilu, the universal and mysterious source of all things came a trinity composed of his three first exterior and visible manifestations, which were placed at the summit of the scale of the gods in the popular worship; Anu, the primordial chaos, the god of Time and the World, uncreated matter issuing from the fundamental and unique principle of all things; Hea, the intelligence, or we would willingly say”the Word,” which animated matter and rendered it ..and lastly,  Bel ….ruler of the organized universe”  (pages 114-115)

Here we see that the Trinity doctrine does indeed come from Babylonian sources, as well as, the idea of man needing a mediator to speak with a god. In this case we can find the Chaldean Pantheon having the following correspondence.

Anu = The Father

Enlil = The Holy Ghost

Enki = The Son

It should also be noted that there are many characteristics of these deities that were fused into each other by the Christians. However, one clear aspect is that of Enki being the Christ, or the Son of God (Anu). What is amazing is how some researchers align Enki with Satan, while not realizing that Jesus and satan are the same being. Notice what is mentioned in the book of Revelation Chapter 22 verse 16, where jesus is said to have mentioned the following:

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

In the above passage jesus calls himself the “morning star” or Lucifer. The correlation of Jesus being Lucifier would definitely personify the trickster energy that is sometimes attributed to Enki. Enki was given the planetary aspect of Mercury by the Ancient Sumerians, though this was later attributed to Nebo during the Babylonian era, we are reminded that Mercury makes the shape of a hexagram as it travels through the zodiac when viewed from Earth this would apparently be the Star of David, and as a “Son of David’ he would definitely display that Mercurial aspect. Christopher Hyatt’s book entitled Sex Magic, Tantra, and Tarot:  The Way of the Secret Lover , mentions the following on page 25:

“..,wasn’t Mercury the God of thieves and liars? Didn’t he trick the Gods by telling them the truth with lies and then turn around and lie to them by telling the truth?”

this quote perfectly indicates  the Jesus in both his aspects of Lucifer and the Christ. Some of this can be seen in one of his most famous parables entitled the Good Samaritan. However, we will discuss this in our next discussion.

Summoning Part 1: 1001 Spirits of Use

What is the Above is from the Below and the Below is from the Above. The Work of Wonders is from One.

These words, in one translation or another, are among the best known of the Emerald Tablet of Hermes the Thrice Great, and form the established basis of Hermetic philosophy, mysticism, and magic. They also explain the basis of the arts of spirit evocation and invocation, which is commonly considered in the occult community to be both an advanced Art and the gateway to the greater powers of magic and the supernatural. Most of this blog thusfar has focused on Theurgic Ascension, which is outlined in the Necronomicon through the process of the Gatewalking. This post presents information about Thaumaturgy (wonder-working) and the rites of summoning that are outlined in the Book of Calling and which can be utilized for any type of spirit grammer (including the Urilia Text).

Given the wonderful things that Gatewalking unlocks, its pertinent to ask – Is it really important for a Gatewalker to also be a Summoner? In my opinion, the answer is a definite and loud yes! Summoning and the related arts and processes it entails are essential things to master in our tradition because they provide oppertunities to apply the powers and wisdom learned as one traverses the gates of the Holy Tree of Life and Death. Summoning and the arts taught by spirits provide direct applications that make a real and concrete impact on the lives of a gatewalker and those close to him.

What is necessary to be a good summoner? The first and foremost power that a summoner draws upon is Authority, in the deepest and most spiritual sense of the word. This is something that must be contemplated and often claimed within the life of a gatewalker if he or she is to exercise it fully. Authority is symbolized primarily by two things in the rituals of summoning – the Circle, which defines a summoner as the Center and Point of an operation, and the Commanding Wand, which is both an item, a word, and a stance of attitude that demands respect from the spiritual world. Almost all of the other supplies that compose a ritual depend upon these central forces for their effectiveness. The Authority of the Circle and the Will of the Wand are the bare bones of a summoning. The Circle is a lofty subject for meditation, but in brief it demonstrates and manifests the power of Divine Unity (whether understood as God or the Council of the Gods) in relationship to an outside Universe. The relationship may be further defined and circumscribed by a Triangle, which embodies and outlines Manifestation within Limitation. The Wand, symbolic of Primal Fire and Eternal Will, is the Gift of Anu and the extension of his Crown of Heaven. Held and exercised confidently and powerfully, its possibilites are limitless. The basis of authority and will may differ from person to person, but should always be excersied with both confidence and authenticity. Authority can be borrowed from other figures, such as the Gods, if confidence is lacking, but should become more and more personal with time and practice and growth.

What does a summoning entail? Its helpful to think about the analogous process through which human citizens are summoned to a courtroom, whether it is for jury duty or to testify during a deposition. The authority comes from the power that is vested in the governing body. The need comes from the particular expertise, skills, judgment, or experience of a particular individual, especially in relation to the “trials” which are currently being dealt with. The response may vary from enthusiastic and patriotic duty to active hostility with a contempt for the court itself. It is my opinion after years of study that one of the biggest mistakes a summoner can make is to treat all spirits in the same fashion and manner, because spirits vary tremendously based on demographics and history. One does not take the same attitude towards a polytheistic god as they would towards an angel, or behave towards a demon as they would towards an elemental. Although spirits change roles over time, it is very important to understand the context and situation in which you call them, in order to communicate in the most efficient way.

What kind of spirits can be called? “In all, 1001 spirits may be of use to you, and these you will discover in the course of your journey” (I paraphrase the Nec here). The Book of Calling reiterates the axiom I have mentioned before that the Necronomicon, however you understand it, is not meant to be read in isolation. Just as a Gatewalker must study up on the Gods and their history in relationship to humanity, a summoner must study up on both theory and techniques related to their practice of Calling. The registers of spirits are known as Grammers (Grimoires in French) because they present the bare bones of what often amounts to entire curriculems worth of studies. They are written more like notes from a college lecture than textbooks and are meant as jumping off points rather than authoritative final words. Each grammer is designed to work with a particular class of spirits chosen for specific reasons (or at least, a selection from amongst many classes that satisfies a particular need). The spirits that are listed in grammers have been chosen both for their historical efficacy as well as their practical applications; the grammers are far from being exhaustive lists, and even the spirits mentioned are only briefly outlined. The real learning comes during the calling and not from the study beforehand.

For this introductory article, I will outline a number of different classes of spirits that summoners may find useful in the course of their growth. Keep in mind that several of these spirits may become long term friends and quite familiar if given the chance.

*Planetary spirits – I mention these spirits first because in the Nec system, they start to become very accesable right away as soon as one walks their gate. Planetary spirits have very broad powers that manifest with the astrological cycles of their respective bodies, which can take anywhere from hours to years depending on who you work with. They are extremely powerful when enhanced through particularly beneficial astrological timing – for example, the Nec relates that when the Moon and Venus are conjunct (Nanna and Ishtar), it is “as if an offering cup were spilt freely, and there is much rejoicing”. Planetary beings are an excellent place to start for beginning summoners because their results are strong while their timing is moderate. They neither overwhelm in the way goetic entities often do, nor do they confine themselves to lofty and aloof support in the way many angels are said to respond. Planetaries are divided up in numerous ways often related to the numerology and cycles of their planet, such as the 28 mansions of the Moon or the 15 handmaidens of Ishtar. Again, consult your natal chart to discover entities that are particular suited to work with you.

*Stellar spirits – Star spirits embody vast cycles and lengths of time and space, and can share with you glimpses of worlds from “a long time ago in a galaxy far away”. The knowledge they impart is very timeless and they sometimes lack patience with passing trends. This may be where the descriptor of the Igigi/Watchers as “cruel” originates. Science and alchemy are very important to many of these spirits, which include both the spirits of the ecliptic signs as well as of specific stars and star groupings, such as the “Olympic” spirits of the Mount of Heaven.

*Goetic spirits (classic demons) – Every time you call a goetic spirit you call upon a part of yourself that has been discounted and rejected. These spirits have an amazing and natural energy and power that hits very close to home and are easy to call because of their proximity, but are known to test those who summon them. I do not subscribe to the belief of some authors that all goetic work is bad or dangerous, or that you must use a ridiculous number of precautions when dealing with them. What I will say is that dealing with goetics is always concrete and forces you to confront your fears and limitations head on. This is among the hardest but also the most profitable of realtionships. The goetics challenge their summoners but once respect is won, they will lovingly serve their masters for lifetimes and possibly beyond.

*Angels – I define angels primarily as beings whose identity is wrapped around and caught up in a singular, unifying concept, such as “God”. An angels’ will is difficult to seperate from what they serve because the will has been given over in love and trust. Angels are said to often delegate practical work to more earthly spirits, but can always uplift one from the dregs of sorrow due to their amazing ability to inspire, enlighten, uplift, and provide perspective. Angels are the ones to go to when you seek to know and perform something with grace and purity. They are literally the “messengers” of a Greater Power.

*Elementals – The elementals are very connected to the visceral experiences of animal and human life, traditionally grouped into the 4 or 5 elements. Their healing abilities are very strong and they almost alwasy strengthen the connection of their summoners to life and the processes by which it occurs. Knowing which elementals to call is often just a matter of examining one’s state and situation in life – for example, a preponderance towards moodiness and melancholic feelings is the perfect situation for the help of a water spirit (undine). Elementals tend to be neutral in relationship to divine politics but there is a lot of diversity amongst their kind and they are not strictly limited to one definition or another. The Theurgia-Goetia outlines many different kind of spirits which could all fall under the headers of “aerial” but which nonetheless have very different attitudes and portfolios, even though “their office is all the same”.

*Deads – Necromancy is still a fairly taboo subject even among occultists, but the Nec provides support and basic tools for calling departed humans. One thing I have found is that in the modern world, most people (at least from my culture) are not dwelling in the traditional gloomy realms of Sheol and Ereshkigal, but brighter abodes with more inspiraiton and perspective. The “other side” for humans is based on their spiritual growth, and for most of the race lies no longer under the earth, but between it and the Moon (remember that the lunar landing, as Simon said, was a collective initiation). Among the deads, you can work with ancestors, as our author recommends, as well as friendlies and hostiles both from local graveyards and afar. I don’t have a  lot of experience in this areas but from what I’ve been told, work with the dead is very much a matter of calling, and people will tend to either be atrracted or repelled from it based on their nature and whether their culture is “dead friendly” or “dead avoiding”.

*Ascended Masters – Christopher Penczak has outlined in his great book on Ascension magic how one can deal with all the channeled masters of the “New Age” through traditional magical paradigms. I have never contacted these beings directly but some people profit greatly from it; it seems to be very useful for those who are seeking teachers or gurus and feel isolated and cut off from the rest of the world. These beings help restore the balance but oftentimes carry specific agendas and politics which must be noticed.

*Folk Spirits – Under this classification falls races of beings which are not adequately understood with an elemental paradigm but nonetheless have had a strong impact on Earth’s history. This would include fairies, elves, goblins, sasquatch, and many other local spirits tied to particular cultures and places. These spirits are fickle sometimes and are often known to be mischievious and tricky. Whether they take a liking to you or not makes all the difference in working with them.

*Artificial Spirits – These spirits are a unique class in that they are created by human magicians and priests. People like to tell horror stories about egregores and golems gone insane, but I think this class is important in that it gives people a chance to learn the arts of creation and personality that help one to grow closer to the Divine. Oftentimes the process is not so much a creation as a definite role which is assumed by a little known but already existent entity. Donald Tyson’s works are very helpful on this subject. Metafictions such as Promethea and the Pop Culture characters that Taylor Ellwood teaches about are other important members of this group.

*Polytheistic gods – They’re much more approachable than most people give them credit for. Gods define themselves primarily in terms of Mysteres – the way they convey the universe and its lessons through particular themes, archetypes, and stories that are unique to their indiivdual history and experience. For example, Ishtar’s mysteries are taught through sexuality and rebirth because they are elements in her personal history and story within the greater scheme of things. Respect the Mystere (in the voodon sense), and you will learn how to relate to the god.

*Ancients/Abominations/Lloigor – What Warlock has said about the Urilia text is absolutelly true – do NOT use it until you are ready for it! These beings are millions of years old and represent the earliest and most ancient biocircuitry in humankind, which is very primal and animalistic. Extremely powerful if you can deal with them properly, but terrifying and dangerous if you aren’t ready to handle it. Take this from a guy who summoned Pazuzu and was going to be issued a premature death sentence were it not for the intervention of the gods and some good friends.

*Compass Spirits – There are a lot of different beings it would seem that dwell just on the outskirts of Earth and are connected to the mysteries of various angles, degrees, influences, and times that distribute power throughout the world. This is a little understood area in modern magick but has a ton of potential goodies for those willing to investigate. Franz Bardon’s elaborate registers for the 360 spirits from Abramelin are included here, as well as the spirits of the four altars (altitudes) found in the Ars Almadel, the hourly and zodiacal spirits of the Pauline Art, and the banner spirits of both the Tetrgrammaton and the 72-fold Shem HaMephorash. These are the spirits of “Theurgy” in the classical sense, and their books are found in the “Lesser Key” (Lemegeton) even though they were medievally classed as “good spirits’ (usually). What I have noticed with these spirits thusfar is that they can attune you to natural cycles in such a way that what you desire to accomplish, know, or obtain comes about in a very natural, spontaneous, and timely fashion. I  believe that these entities are those most commonly called “daemons” in the old Hermetic texts, and that these beings were worked with extensively by the syncretistic magicians of Hellenistic and later Roman Egypt. This would explain their transmission via Abramelin and the Valley of the Kings, which has always been a hotbed for these spirits.

KEYS TO THE ANCIENT ONES PART 11: The Meaning of AZAG-THOTH

Greetings!

I would like to welcome everyone to the Simon Necronomicon GateWalker’s Info Page. If this is your first time here please review our previous articles to gain deeper insight into our present discussion.

It seems to be imperative that the Priest/Priestess of the Simon Necronomicon Tradition  research all of the deities contained in the SN. Since we have been discussing the rituals and workings of the Ancient Ones, I think it would be a good idea for us to look into the meaning of these “ancient” deities  as they appear in the Simon Necronomicon.

One of the more mysterious entities mentioned in the Simon Necronomicon is AZAG-THOTH. In his introduction, Simon describes AZAG-THOTH in the following words:

“Although a list is appended hereto containing various entities and concepts of Lovecraft, Crowley, and Sumeria cross-referenced, it will do to show how the Editor found relationships to be valid and even startling. AZATOT is frequently mentioned in the grim pages of the Cthulhu Mythos, and appears in the NECRONOMICON as AZAG-THOTH, a combination of two words, the first Sumerian and the second Coptic, which gives us a clue as to Its identity. AZAG in Sumerian means “Enchanter” or “Magician”; THOTH in Coptic is the name given to the Egyptian God of Magick and Wisdom, TAHUTI, who was evoked by both the Golden Dawn and by Crowley himself (and known to the Greeks as Hermes, from whence we get “Hermetic”). AZAG-THOTH is, therefore, a Lord of Magicians, but of the “Black” magicians, or the sorcerers of the “Other Side””

It is interesting to note that Simon mentions that “THOTH” was evoked by the Golden Dawn and Crowley. However, before we go further into this discussion, we should review the references to AZAG-THOTH, in the Simon Necronomicon itself.

The First Testimony of the Mad Arab mentions the following:

“I have summoned the ghosts of my ancestors to real and visible appearance on the tops of temples built to reach the stars, and built to touch the nethermost cavities of HADES. I have wrestled with the Black Magician, AZAG-THOTH, in vain, and fled to the Earth by calling upon INANNA and her brother MARDUK, Lord of the double-headed AXE.”(1)

“But now, after One Thousand-and-One moons of the journey, the Maskim nip at my heels, the Rabishu pull at my hair, Lammashta opens her dread jaws, AZAG-THOTH gloats blindly at his throne”

We find another mention of AZAG-THOTH, in the INVOCATION OF THE SHAMMASH GATE:

“AZAG-THOTH is fallen off His Throne before Thee!”(2)

We later find mention of AZAG-THOTH in the MAKLU Text, within the EXORCISM AGAINST AZAG-THOTH AND HIS EMISSARIES:

“AZAG-THOTH TA ARDATA! IA MARDUK! IA MARDUK! IA ASALLUXI!
You have chosen me for a corpse.
You have delivered me to the Skull.
You have sent Phantoms to haunt me.
You have send vampires to haunt me.
To the wandering Ghosts of the Wastes, have you delivered me.
To the Phantoms of the fallen ruins, have you delivered me.
To the deserts, the wastes, the forbidden lands, you have handed me over.
Open Thy Mouth In Sorceries Against Me No More!
I have handed thine image over
Into the flames of GIBIL!
Burn, Mad Fiend!
Boil, Mad God!
May the Burning GIRRA untie thy knots!
May the Flames of GIBIL untie your cord!
May the Law of the Burning seize your throat!
May the Law of the Burning avenge me!”(3)

This is a very interesting passage. It reveals that AZAG-THOTH has the power and ability to send evil spirits to an individual, a point that we will come back to later in our discussion.

The Book of Calling also makes reference to AZAG-THOTH:

“Know, thirdly, that by the Power of the Elder Gods and the submission of the Ancient Ones, thou mayest procure every type of honour, dignity, wealth and happiness, but that these are to be shunned as the Purveyors of Death, for the most radiant jewels are to be found buried deep in the Earth, and the Tomb of Man is the Splendour of ERESHKIGAL, the joy of KUTULU, the food of AZAG-THOTH.”(4)

“Invocation of the North Gate

“Thee I invoke, Silver Hunter from the Sacred City of UR!
Thee I call forth to guard this North Place of the Most Holy Mandal against the vicious warriors of Flame from the Principalities
of DRA!
Be thou most vigilant against the UTUKKI of TIAMAT
The Oppressors of ISHNIGARRAB
The Throne of AZAG-THOTH!
Draw Thy bow before the fiends of ABSU
Loose Thy arrow at the hordes of Dark Angels that beset the beloved of ARRA on all sides and in all places.
Be watchful, Lord of the North Ways.”(5)

He appears again in the INVOCATION OF THE FOUR GATES:

“AZAG-THOTH, TA KALLA!”(6)

Later, we find another reference in the IA ADU EN I:

“EKHI AZAG-THOTH”(7)

In the Book of Fifty Names, we find the following under the Thirty-Sixth Name LUGALLABDUBUR:

“Destroyer of the Gods of TIAMAT. Vanquisher of Her Hordes. Chained KUTULU to the Abyss. Fought AZAG-THOTH with skill”(8)

Next we come to the MAGAN Text. Section 4 entitled the Sleep of ISHTAR gives us a few references to the name:

“ERESHKIGAL rejoiced.
Blind AZAG-THOTH rejoiced
IAK SAKKAK rejoiced
ISHNIGGARRAB rejoiced
KUTULU rejoiced
The MASKIM gave praise to the Queen of Death
The GIGIM gave praise to ERESHKIGAL, Queen of Death (9)

And the Elder Ones were rent “

Later we find the following:

“The demons of all the Abyss lay there
Dead but Dreaming, they clung to the walls
Of the House of Death
Faceless and terrible
The ANNUNAKI stared out
Blind and Mad AZAG-THOTH reared up”(10)

Another reference is made here:

“The Dark Waters trembled and roiled. AZAG-THOTH screamed upon his throne”(11)

Now we move on to the URILLA Text:

“Of all the Gods and Spirits of Abomination, there can be no use or gain to call upon AZAG-THOTH, as he is Surely Mad. Rendered sightless in the Battle, he is Lord of CHAOS, and the priest can find little use for him. He is also too powerful to control once called, and gives violent struggle before sent back to the Gate, for which only a strong and able magician may dare raise him. Thus, for that reason, his seal is not given.”(12)

“And with these incantations, and with others, the sorcerers and the she-sorcerers call many things that harm of the life of man. And they fashion images out of wax, and out of flour and honey, and of all the metals, and burn them or otherwise destroy them, and chant the civilisations. And they cause plagues, for they summon PAZUZU. And they cause madness, for they call AZAG-THOTH. And these Spirits come upon the Wind, and some upon the Earth, crawling. And no oil, no powder, suffices to save a man from this inquity, save that exorcisms handed down and recited by the able Priest. And they work by the Moon, and not by the Sun, and by older planets than the Chaldaens were aware. And in cords, they tie knows, and each is a spell. And if these knots be found, they may be untied, and the cords burnt, and the spell shall be broken, as it is written:”(13)

We now come to the last part of the Text entitled, The Second Testimony of the Mad Arab:

“And I have seen them in their Rites, and the awful Things they call forth from the Lands beyond Time. I have seen the Signs carved upon their stones, their altars. I have seen the Sign of PAZUZU, and ZALED, and those of XASTUR and AZAG-THOTH, and similarly those of ISHNIGARRAB and the awful Offspring of the Goat, and the terrible musicks of their Race.”(14)

We can see that AZAG-THOTH is referred to numerous times in the Text. What I also found out is that the term “AZAG”,  which appears in various part of the Text is also a reference to AZAG-THOTH. Yet AZAG-THOTH appears 14 times in the Text. If we include Simon’s reference we arrive at the number 15, a number that corresponds to the Devil in the Major Arcana. We must also keep in mind that AZAG-THOTH is also mentioned in the CHART OF COMPARISONS, which appears in the introduction of the Simon Necronomicon. It is here that we find AZAG-THOTH being compared to AIWASS. When we begin to approach AZAG-THOTH from the perspective of AIWASS, we should consider that AIWASS was the messenger who gave Crowley his revelation in 1904, but also considered by Crowley to be his HGA. In the book entitled Magick Liber Book Four, we find some interesting observations in the book’s introductory notes:

“I now incline to believe that Aiwass is not only the God or Demon or Devil once held holy in Sumer, and mine own Guardian Angel, but also a man as I am, insofar as he uses a human body to make his link with Mankind whom He loves…Aiwaz is not (as I had supposed) a mere formula, …but is the true most ancient name of the God of the Yezidis, and thus returns to the highest Antiquity. Our work is therefore historically authentic, the rediscovery of the Sumerian Tradition.

Crowley’s words indicate the depth of Aiwass, as ones’ higher self, but also as a deity. AIWASS’ appearance in the Book of the Law reveals yet another attribute:

“Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat”

We see from these words that AIWASS was a messenger for the “Child of Horius” or Hoor-paar-kraat. This brings into play the meaning of the term THOTH.

THOTH is a Greek corruption of the Egyptian term “TEHUITI.” Attributes of TEHUTI vary depending on what time period in Egyptian history you are dealing with. However, one aspect that seems to reveal itself in our studies in the designation of TEHUTI as a Scribe of the deities. E. A. Wallis Budge mentions this in his writings Gods of the Egyptians Vol. 1 page 409. This description of TEHUTI/THOTH seems to be the most appropriate in view of Aleister Crowley’s experiences with the energies of TEHUTI. Crowley received the Book of the Law only after invoking “THOTH” ( god of knowledge ). This would best explain why Simon  connected AZAG-THOTH with AIWASS. Yet it also reveals something deeper. The Mad Arab, in his First Testimony, recounts for us his initiation and how he came to understand what was revealed to him. If we compare some of the passages in his Testimony, we can see that this revelation woild best be attributed to the deity AZAG-THOTH. Let us take a brief look at his Testimony:

“I picked it up and saw that it also was carved, as the stone, but very intricately, after a fashion I could not understand. I did not bear the same markings as the stone, but I had the feeling I could almost read the characters, but could not, as though I once knew the tongue but had since long forgotten. My head began to ache as though a devil was pounding my skull, when a shaft of moonlight struck the metal amulet, for I know now what it was, and a voice entered into my head and told me the secrets of the scene I had witnessed in one word:

 

KUTULU.

 

In that moment, as though whispered fiercely into my ear, I understood.”

The above pasasage informs us that it was only after hearing the vooice of KUTULU that the Mad Arab understood the events that took place in the mountain. We will come back to this passage after we look further in his account of what happened.

“Of the three carved symbols, the first is the sign of our Race from beyond the Stars, and is called ARRA in the tongue of the Scribe who taught it to me, an emissary of the Elder Ones. In the tongue of the eldest city of Babylon, it was UR. It is the Sigil of the Covenant of the Elder Gods, and when they see it, they who gave it to us, they will not forget us. They have sworn!”

Here we see a reference to a “scribe”  who taught the Mad Arab the meaning of the Signs. This is a science that is attributed ti TEHUTI/THOTH. The passage goes on to state that “it is the Sigil of the Covenant of the Elder Gods,” Interestingly, the ARRA is said to describe the ‘Race from beyond the Stars.’ This is a reference to those who have been reborn in the blood of the Dragon, or the Ancient Ones. See the Elder Gods represent many things such as planetary energies and etc. However, one thing the Elder Gods represent that is not discussed in public circles, are magicians who were human at one time, and later became immortal gods. We see evidence of this in the Simon Necronomicon Tradition for it state in the Tome:

“THIS is the Book of the Ceremonies of Calling, handed down since the time the Elder Gods walked the Earth, Conquerors of the Ancient Ones”.

The above passage, while often misunderstood, is very clear. The Elder Gods were individual or a clan of magicians and mystics who were able to harness the powers of darkeness and remain alive after physical death consciously. This is the purpose of the Greater Mysteries. This is why the War between the Elder Gods and Ancient Ones can only be understood when read as a metaphore. Let us look at what the The Encyclopædia Britannica  edited by Hugh Chisholm says on page 55:

“..gods of fire, wind and water, gods of the sea, and above allgods of the sky, show no signs of having been ghost gods at any period in their history. They may, it is true, be associated with ghost gods, but in Australiait cannot even be assertedthat the gods are spirits at all…,they are simply magnified magicians, super-men who have never died, we have no ground, therefore, for regarding the cult of the dead as the origin of religion in this area;”

The above quote is further evidence that the Elder Gods were deified magicians. In Christian Mythology, the whole theme of the life of Jesus Christ is an example of this. Now let us get back to our discussion at hand. How can we be certain that AZAG-THOTH is the “Scribe” who revealed the “dark mysteries” to the Mad Arab? Let us make one more comparison to confirm this point. The Mad Arab mentions something very interesting in his description of the “amulet” he recovered from the fire:

“Wherefore, the amulet must be engraved upon pure silver in the full light of the moon, that the moon shine upon it at its working, and the essence of the moon incantations must be performed, and the prescribed rituals as given forth in this Book. And the amulet must never be exposed to the light of the Sun, for SHAMMASH called UDU, in his jealousy, will rob the seal of its power. In such a case, it must be bathed in water of camphor, and the incantations and ritual performed once again. But, verily, it were better to engrave another.”

Here we see something very interesting. If the “amulet” that the Mad Arab recovered from the fire, was a sign of the Elder Gods, such as NEBO, then it would make no sense as to why SHAMMASH would rob the “amulet”of its power. However, when we consider all that we have discussed thus far, we can find some answeers by reviewing the INVOCATION OF THE SHAMMASH GATE. Notice what it states:

“KUTULU is burned by Thy Might! AZAG-THOTH is fallen off His Throne before Thee! ISHNIGARRAB is scorched black by Thy rays!”

Here tis the only Gate Incantation that makes reference to KUTULU (Cult of the Dragon), AZAG-THOTH ( Cult of the Dog ) , and ISHNIGARRAB ( Cult of the Goat ). Out of these three Ancient Ones, we know for certain that AZAG-THOTH is the messenger. Therefore, the “Scribe” that taught the Mad Arab via telepathy was AZAG-THOTH. We cannot conclude this discussion as of yet. We must also define the term “AZAG.”

AZAG is a derivative of the Sumerian term asg, which means “one who causes sickness.” This demon is often depicted as serpent of dragon. Simon mentions that AZAG-THOTH is a derivative of Azathoth, often mentioned in Lovecraft lore. Wikipedia mentions the following under the topic Azathoth:

“In “The Dreams in the Witch House” (1932), the protagonist Walter Gilman dreams that he is told by the witch Keziah Mason that “He must meet the Black Man, and go with them all to the throne of Azathoth at the centre of ultimate Chaos…. He must sign in his own blood the book of Azathoth and take a new secret name…. What kept him from going with her…to the throne of Chaos where the thin flutes pipe mindlessly was the fact that he had seen the name ‘Azathoth’ in the Necronomicon, and knew it stood for a primal horror too horrible for description.”

This description seems to give us another insight into how AZAG-THOTH is define in the Simon Necronomicon, as the Mad Arab often describes him sitting upon a Throne. It seems that AZAG-THOTH serves the purpose of being an Initiator into the “dark mysteries.” This is how Simon was able to compare AZAG-THOTH with AIWASS. I would have to agree with John Allee and his Book of Aiwass. He assigns AIWASS as being able to grant the ability of astral projection and to THOTH the ability to see and hear spirits. These attributes combined in what we have in the energies of the deity AZAG-THOTH.

KEYS TO THE ANCIENT ONES PART 10: ANU the Dead God?

Greetings!

I would like to take the time out to thank everyone for visiting the Simon Necronomicon GateWalker’s Info Page. If this is your first time here, please take the time to review some of our previous articles to better equip you in understanding our current discussion.

We have spent some time discussing the deeper mysteries of the Simon Necronomicon, which are found in our KEYS TO THE ANCIENT ONES SERIES. I thought that it would be good to share some information with those who have been Walking the Gates for some time and still have not gotten to the deeper initiation, as found in the Urilla Text. I would like to begin our discussion with a passage from the Mad Arab’s First Testimony:

“Thinking no more of the carvings, save that they might be the work of a king to mark some ancient victory over an enemy, I built a fire at its foot to protect me from the wolves that wander in those regions and went to sleep, for it was night and I was far from my village, being Bet Durrabia. Being about three hours from dawn, in the nineteenth of Shabatu, I was awakened by the howl of a dog, perhaps of a wolf, uncommonly loud and close at hand.”

It is interesting to note that the Mad Arab was awakened by a “wolf” or dog. This is a clear reference to ANU. Most of the animals mentioned in the Simon Necronomicon have reference to a particular deity. David S. just recently wrote an excellent essay on the subject entitled Dark Totems and Animal Shamanism and I thought I would expand a little more on it.

In the book entitled BABYLONIAN STARLORE written by Gavin White, we find a unique observation on page 222:

“In star-lists the Wolf is usually attributed to Anu, who is widely regarded as the most ancient god of heaven….Anu’s association to the Wolf, however, hints at the darker aspects of his nature…Anu is also regarded as the father of the host of demons…”

Here we see one association of ANU with a Wolf and also that ANU was father to the demons, or dark entities. Wayne Horowitz, in his book entitled, Mesopotamian cosmic geography, mentions the following on page 6:

“the ghost of Anu is a Wolf,…”

These associations are evidently concerning certain star-groupings. Yet it is interesting to note, that while researching the information contained herein, I had an opportunity to review some of the information in the famous yet rare “Ordeal Of MARDUK” text.

The Text known as the Ordeal of Marduk belongs to a category of Assyrian texts generally referred to as the Cultic Commentaries. This text seems to be some sort of ritualistic document that was used in the Rites of MARDUK. A review of this rare text would indicate why the Mad Arab wrote the Necronomicon in code, appearing to support the religion of MARDUK, for the rites of initiation, while actually being a tgrimoire that supports the worship of the Ancient Ones.  We can confirm this by turning once again to the words of Gavin White in his book BABYLONIAN STARLORE on page 151:

“the 19^th day of month 6 is called the “Silence of Wrath” –the day that Marduk defeated Anu…”

The text calls mentions that Marduk defeated ANU in all translations known. However, we find that the Mad Arab constantly calls for the protection of ANU and not MARDUK in his 1^st and 2^nd Testimonies. This indicates that the Mad Arab was a worshiper of the Ancient Ones. Another indication of this is revealed in the Mad Arab’s 1^st Testimony:

“THIS IS THE TESTIMONY of all that I have seen, and all that I have learned, in those years that I have possessed the Three Seals of MASSHU. 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.”

“But now, after One Thousand-and-One moons of the journey, the Maskim nip at my heels, the Rabishu pull at my hair, Lammashta opens her dread jaws, AZAG-THOTH gloats blindly at his throne, KUTULU raises his head and stares up through the Veils of sunkun Varloorni, up through the Abyss, and fixes his stare upon me; wherefore I must with haste write this indeed, it appears as though I have failed in some regard as to the order of the rites, or to the formulae, or to the sacrifices, for now it appears as if the entire host of ERESHKIGAL lies waiting, dreaming, drooling for my departure.”

From the two passages above that appear in the 1^st Testimony, we can ascertain that 1.001 moons is an alchemical number. We can safely come to this because in the first passage the Mad Arab mentions that he lived 1,001 moons, but later he writes that these 1,001 moons was the length of his journey. Thus, the Mad Arab counted his years of existence based on how many years he was in the “work.” In order to solve this calculation we must resort to some basic math skills.

If were to take 1,001 and divide it by 13 moons in a year, we would get 77. Interestingly, 7 + 7 = 14. 14 is the sacred number assigned to NERGAL. This seems to be appropriate since the GateWalker is a worker of the flame and sword, two qualities of NERGAL. This should not be confused with NERGAL’S astro-cosmological number of 8. Yet we find something very interesting when we peruse this a little further. If we were to divide 1,001 moons by 12 months, we would get 84. However, we should also make note that the reference to “1,001” is actually made three times. Notice what is stated in the Book of Calling:

“In the Ceremonies of Calling, any type of Spirit may be summoned and detained until It has answered your questions or provided you with whatever you desire. The Spirits of the Dead may be invoked. The Spirits of the Unborn may be invoked. The Spirits of the Seven Spheres may be invoked. The Spirits of the Flame may be invoked. In all, there may be One Thousand-and-One Spirits that are of principal importance, and these you will come to know in the course of your experiments. There are many others, but some have no power, and will only confuse.”

Here we see the term “1,001” once again. Since the term appears three times in the Text, we would then take 1,001 times 3, which is 3,003. Now we take 3,003 and divide that by 12 months and we would get 250 years. This is the amount of time approximately that it takes Pluto to orbit the Sun Now we find out something interesting here. In a book entitled, The Worship of the Dead Or the Origin and Nature of Pagan Idolatry and Its …

By J. Garnier, the following observation is made on page 42:

“The god of the dead” worshipped under the name of “Anu”…,Anu was also called “Dis” which identifies him with “Pluto.”

 

Here we see a clear reference as to an aspect of ANU that is revealed in the Simon Necronomicon. Mystical and Mythological Explanatory Works of Assyrian and Babylonian Scholars By Alasdair Livingstone states the following on page 89:

“The present text seems to assume that Enmesarra, Enlil, Anu, and Tiamat are dead, and to reflect the myths in which these deities are defeated by Marduk and others.”

This shows us the effects of how theology changed with the uprising of the cult of Marduk. Yet is also shows us through metaphor that ANU is listed as one of the gods worshipped by the Ancient Ones.
