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

Greetings!

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

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

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

Sumerian Anunnaki and their Descendants Multiorgasmic  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Inanna

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

The “Watchers” in Egypt

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Treatise Between The Lovecraft and Simon Necronomicon Traditions.

Greetings!

It is about time that Dan Harms and I sit at the Table of Lenki and realize the Fates as they are written in the stars. I have elarne many things from my “debates with Dan Harms and we still hold our repective views concerning the Necronomicon Tradition. I can speak for myself in saying that I have benefited greatly from the Simon Necronomicon. I have also spoken with Priests of Yoruba and Santeria, who also respect the book’s power.  However, it would be nice to see some peace in the two schools of thought. We must remember that there would be no Simon Necronomicon if there wasn’t an Aleister Crowley or H. P. Lovecraft, or Enochian Magic, Tantra, the Seven African Powers, the Chaldean Oracles, Enuma Elish, and the list can go on and on. Throughout the past year and a half, Harms and I have spent muct times debating on several aspects that we differ on. So I would like to list manysome of the things that we agree on to some extent to begin work upon a treaty in the feild of Necronomics.

1) Both Dan Harms and Warlock Asylum agree that the Simon Necronomicon partly owes its origin to the works of Lovecraft.

2) Both Dan Harms and Warlock Asylum agree that the Simon Necronomicon is a grimoire that can be used for spiritual adavancement, and a a spiritual path.

3) Both Dan Harms and Warlock Asylum agree that the authorship and credibility of the Tome’s origin are not the same as what was described by Lovecraft’s use of the term “Necronomicon.”

4) Both Dan Harms and Warlock Asylum agree that anyone who incorporates criminal practices within theor ritual workings pertaining to the Simon Necronomicon should be reported to the said authorities of the country where these criminal acts are being conducted.

5) Both Dan harms and Warlock Asylum agree that the effects of the Tome’s workings can be harmful and one should take care in making a conscious decision about working with the Tome’s methods of divination.

6) Both Dan Harms, Warlock Asylum, and Simon, agree that the Simon Necronomicon, although using the names of some Sumerian deities, is not a grimoire concerning Sumerian Magick.

7) Both Dan Harms and Warlock Asylum agree that any debates held between the two parties representing the two differeing Traditions are to be held with respect and a sincere desire to uncover the said topic in question.

Both Dan Harms and Warlock Asylum agree that Practitioners of the Simon Necronomicon Tradition should study ancient and modern references concerning the subject matter of the Text.

9) Both Dan Harms and Warlock Asylum agree that anyone who takes a personal issue with the information that is exchange in any of the said debates to the point of personal attack, should be reported to the authorities regardless of what either side’s position is concerning the material in question.

10) Both Dan Harms and Warlock Asylum agree to show mutual repect for each other’s person though they may be of differing opinions, and this course of action should be followed by both Lovecraftian Magicians, as well as, Mystics of the Simon Necronomicon Tradition.

11) It should be noted that both Dan Harms and Warlock Asylum are members, though of differeing opinions of the Necronomicon Tradition, and both Traditions are clearly linked together.

12)Both Dan harms and Warlock Asylum agree that much of what has been said concerning both the Lovecraft and Simon Necronomicon Traditions has been misinterpreted by many so-called occult groups, and one should investigate any group claiming to represent either Tradition before associating themselves with any organization that is said to represent the said Tradition.

This Treaty has been enetered of the 27th day of July of the year 2009.

Excerpts of Interest from Robert Anton Wilson’s “The Eye on the Pyramid”

“Miskatonic University, in Arkham, Massachusetts, is not a well-known campus by any means, and the few scholarly visitors who come there are an odd lot, drawn usually by the strange collection of occult books given to the Miskatonic Library by the late Dr. Henry Armitage. Miss Doris Horus, the librarian, had never seen quite such a strange visitor though, as this Professor J. D. Mallison who claimed to come from Dayton, Ohio, but spoke with an unmistakable New York accent. Considering his fur-tiveness, she found it no surprise that he spent the whole day (June 26, 1969) pouring over the rare copy of Dr. John Dee’s translation of the Necronomicon of Abdul Alhazred. That was the book most of the queer ones went for; that or The Book of Sacred Magic of
Abra-Melin the Mage.

Doris didn’t like the Necronomicon, although she considered herself an emancipated and free-thinking young woman. There was something sinister, or to be downright honest about it, perverted about that book—and not in a nice, exciting way, but in a sick and frightening way. All those strange illustrations, always with five-sided borders just like the Pentagon in Washington, but with those people inside doing all those freaky sex acts with those other creatures who weren’t people at all. It was frankly Doris’s opinion that old Abdul Alhazred had been smoking some pretty bad grass when he dreamed up those things. Or maybe it was something stronger than grass: she remembered one sentence from the text: “Onlie those who have eaten a certain alkaloid herb, whose name it were wise not to disclose to the unilluminated, maye in the fleshe see a Shoggothe.” I wonder what a “Shoggothe” is, Doris thought idly; probably one of those disgusting creatures that the people in the illustrations are doing those horny things with. Yech.

She was glad when J. D. Mallison finally left and she could return the Necronomicon to its position on the closed shelves. She remembered the brief biography of crazy old Abdul Alhazred that Dr. Armitage had written and also given to the library: “Spent seven years in the desert and claimed to have visited Irem, the city forbidden in the Koran, which Alhazred asserted was of pre-human origin. . . .” Silly! Who was around to build cities before there were people? Those Shoggothes? “An indifferent Moslem, he worshipped beings whom he called Yog-Sothoth and Cthulhu.” And that insidious line: “According to contemporary historians, Alhazred’s death was both tragic and bizarre, since it was asserted that he was eaten alive by an invisible monster in the middle of the market-place.” Dr. Armitage had been such a nice old man, Doris remembered, even if his talk about cabalistic numbers and Masonic symbols was a little peculiar at times; why would he collect such icky books by creepy people?”

“And it really does go back to Babylon?” Joe prompted.

“I’m not much of an intellectual,” Dillinger replied. “Action is my arena. Let Simon tell you that part.”

Simon was eager to leap into the breach.

“The basic book to confirm our tradition,” he said, “is The Seven Tablets of Creation, which is dated at about 2500 B.C. the time of Sargon. It describes how Tiamat and Apsu, the first gods, were coexisting in Mummu, the primordial chaos. Von Junzt, in his Unausprechlichen Kulten, tells how the Justified Ancients of Mummu originated, just about the time the Seven Tablets were inscribed. You see, under Sargon, the chief deity was Marduk. I mean, that was what the high priests gave out to the public—in private, of course, they worshipped lok-Sotot, who became the Yog-Sothoth of the Necronomicon. But maybe I’m going too fast. Getting back to the official religion of Marduk, it was based on usury. The priests monopolized the medium of exchange and were able to extract interest for lending it. They also monopolized the land, and extracted tribute for renting it. It was the beginning of what we laughingly call civilization, which has always rested on rent and interest. The old Babylonian con.

“The official story was that Mummu was dead, killed in the war between the gods. When the first anarchist group arose, they called themselves Justified Ancients of Mummu. Like Lao-Tse and the Taoists in China, they wanted to get rid of usury and monopoly and all the other pigshit of civilization and go back to a natural way of life. So, grok, they took the supposedly dead god, Mummu, and claimed he was still alive and was actually stronger than all the other gods. They had a good argument ‘Look around,’ they’d say, “what do you see most of? Chaos, right? Therefore, the god of Chaos is the strongest god, and is still alive.’

“Of course, we got our ass whipped good. We were just no match for the Illuminati in those days. Didn’t have a clue, about how they performed their ‘miracles,’ for instance. So we got our asses whipped again, in Greece, when the JAMs got started again, as part of the Cynic movement. By the tune the whole thing was happening again in Rome— usury and monopoly and the whole bag of tricks—the truce took place. The Justified Ancients became part of the Illuminati, a special group still keeping our own name, but taking orders from the Five. We thought we’d humanize them, like the anarchists who stayed in SDS after last year. And so it went until 1888. Then Cecil Rhodes started the Circle of Initiates and the big schism occurred. Every meeting would have a faction of Rhodes boys carrying signs that said ‘Kick out the JAMs!’ It was the parting of the ways. They just didn’t trust us—or maybe they were afraid of being humanized.

“But we had learned a lot by our long participation in the Illuminati conspiracy, and now we know how to fight them with their own weapons.”

“Fuck their weapons,” Dillinger interrupted. “I like to fight them with my weapons.”

Adepthood is No Mean Task – The Intermediate Mysteries

The passing of the Gates gives the priest both power and wisdom to use it. He becomes able to control the affairs of his life more perfectly than before, and many have been content to merely pass the first three Gates and then sit down and go no further than that, enjoying the benefits that they have found on the preliminary spheres.

We have seen that the Lesser Mysteries of the Inner Planets have much to teach an individual about how to be successful in their mundane lives and to lay secure foundations for the more advanced work they must perform. Indeed, just as the Lesser Mysteries were the basis of the “Outer Orders” of Victorian occultism, we can recognize that they also form the basis of the exoteric and organized practices of Judaism and Christianity. The Protestant Work Ethic in particular, which led to the creation of capitalism, is a product of the lesser mysteries, and the simple lives dictated by such teachings esteemed family, discipline, success in one’s profession, and the ability to win battles successfully as the capstones of life.

But this is Evil, for they are not equipped to deal with the attack from Without that must surely come, and their people will cry unto them for safety, and it will not come forth.

The forces of Universal Chaos that the Ancient Ones represent are natural eventualities that supersede and penetrate “the best laid plans of mice and men”. The profound warning presented in this verse is not fully appreciated by those who imagine that an invasion from the Outside only occurs in a spectacular and fantastic fashion; perhaps in the style depicted in the movie Hellboy. The truth is that the “Ancient Ones” do not need “special effects” to wreak havoc on the world. They break through every day and bring about unspeakable horror through vehicles such as warfare, disease, genocide, rape, and environmental disasters.

During the course of its history, the Roman Church (for Rome and the Christian Church became one force) eliminated all of its open rivals until its absolute dominance over Europe was undisputed. Then came the Mongol invasions and the Plague, called “Scourges of God”, and the church was shown in reality to be impotent to protect Europe from losing a huge proportion of its population. Instead, it convened a horrible inquisition and proclaimed that the end was at hand. The end was at hand, but only of the world as the church envisioned. The world itself went on, and the shocking failure of the church to live up to its word opened the way for both the Protestant Reformation and the Scientific Revolution.

Therefore, set thy face towards the ultimate goal and strive ever onward to the furthest reaches of the stars, though it mean thine own death; for such a death is as a sacrifice to the Gods, and pleasing, that they will not forget their people.

Although both the quality and quantity of life may be enriched, death is a natural eventuality that awaits us all and which we all must make peace with. The goal of a Gatewalker is to conduct one’s life in such a way that regrets and unfinished karmic business will not follow one’s spirit after death, and that with both life and death service to the world and fulfillment of one’s destiny and true will is accomplished. Every life lived in such a way empowers all of the lives surrounding it. It revitalizes the world through restablishing “the Covenant” of Durankia – the Bond of Heaven and Earth.

The Arbatel of Magic calls the next set of Mysteries “Mean”, in the older sense of the word, denoting that which is common or average, rather than cruel. That cruelty came to be associated with the average person is a sad commentary on the history of our species. The degrees of these Intermediate Mysteries are the Adept degrees – Minor, Major, and Exempt respectively, corresponding to the spheres of the Sun, Mars, and Jupiter – a contraction of Jove Pater.

Just like the Lesser Secrets, “The Mean Secrets are likewise seven in number:

1. The first is, the transmutation of Metals, which is vulgarly called Alchemy; which certainly is given to very few, and not but of special grace.

This branch of knowledge included both the arts of ancient Al Khem – the Black Art of the Black Land of Aegypt – as well as the knowledge of modern chemistry. It includes both the means to create alloys and convincing substitutes as well as real and authentic alchemical transmutations, which are accomplished not merely with natural or even artificial means, but with the power of the human spirit and the cooperation of the spirits of the elements.

2. The second is, the curing of diseases with Metals, either by the magnetic virtues of precious stones, or by the use of the Philosophers stone, and the like.

The practice of homeopathy makes use of minute amounts of minerals as well as essences and tinctures of plants and animals. Although western medicine does make use of metals and other minerals in its therapies, the allopathic approach generally overkills with the quantity of the substance, and limits itself to only certain ones which are often used for their reactivity. The spirits of the Necronomicon can help those with interest in this field to rediscover many safe and effective treatments that utilize the minerals surrounding us.

3. The third is, to be able to perform Astronomical and Mathematical miracles, such as are Hydraulic-engines, to administer business by the influence of Heaven, and things which are of the like sort.

All manner of modern technology falls into this category, but the “administration of business by the influence of Heaven” is an interesting corrolary. Its suggests coordination with astrological cycles that are seen as of the same importance and nature of the physical forces of gravity and other cosmic polarities.

4. The fourth is, to perform the works of natural Magick, of what sort soever they be.

“Natural Magic” was the original name of Science, as evidence in John Baptiste’s work on the subject. This field was originally an admixture of folk traditions and experiments with natural forces such as magnetism and static electricity that contained both magical effects and what we would now class as “natural effects”, although magic in itself is a perfectly natural mechanism in the domain of intelligent beings. The first book of Agrippa’s Occult Philosophy focuses on this area, which is also the domain of modern witchcraft and sorcery – medicinal and magical applications of natural substances such as salts, herbs, candle wax, and animal curios.

5. The fifth is, to know all Physical secrets.

The mastery of divination in its many forms allows one to obtain whatever kind of information is required or desired whenever necessary. This may take the form of simple dowsing for water, or the evocation of spirits for information, as outlined in the Book of Calling.

6. The sixth is, to know the foundation of all Arts which are exercised with the hands and offices of the body.

This area would include both martial arts as well as Hatha Yoga and any other discipline in which the physical body becomes the medium of miracles, including gymnastics and other athletic sports.

7. The seventh is, to know the foundation of all Arts which are exercised by the angelical nature of man.

The “angelical nature of man” alludes to several functions of our spirits and minds, including the formation and travel of the astral body, psychic ability, psionics, lucid dreaming, and the prophetic arts. Remember that “angelos” is a translation of the Hebrew “malach” – a messenger being who has surrendered his claims on godhood to the service of a Great God, such as Marduk, Enlil, or the Yahweh. Nebo and Hermes, possibly the same god, were both “swift of winged foot” and the examplars of these abilites and responsabilities, communicating amongst the agents of Heaven and Earth and carrying out the will of the divine council formed therewith.

We can see from this list though that while such abilities and capacities may once have been common amongst magicians and sorcerers in times past, they are actually more rare today in a magical culture that is trying to reinvent the wheel and still wonders about the very reality of spirits and “magical” powers.

Initiates of the Mean Mysteries, in my experience, are much more independant in thought and practice than their younger brothers and sisters on the path. They are beginning to make a name for themselves through personal explanations of a spiritual field of their choosing. With the opening of the Shammash gate, these practitioners begin to work from their hearts and pursue that which is personally relevant and interesting to them, which will depend upon their nature, experience, the karma of past lives, and their current goals and disposition. They are the more educated and erudite authors of occult literature, as opposed to the “witchcrap” authors who rehash the same information again and again and tend to believe they’re the first to rediscover what is essential Spirituality 101. You’ll find these individuals crafting their own ritual supplies, engaging in planned long-term developmental programs, lecturing at conventions and lodge meetings, and sometimes even selling wares and services to those willing to buy. They network extensively with both spirits and humans and enjoy sharing and comparing experiences one on one, over the phone, internet, and in person. Generally there is a lot more honesty with these practitioners and many have gotten burned in spiritual organizations of one flavor or another. Minor Adepts “shine” with the brightness of the Sun and often have a cheerful nature and good sense of humor to buoy them in their spiritual adventures. As Shammash is the Master Exorcist, they gain the power to start to seriously overcome both their own demons and the demons that trouble their fellows.

Major adepts have a seriousness about them that comes from learning to grapple head on with both their fears and their weaknesses. They study the nature of evil, pain, and suffering, and learn to push themselves beyond their old comfort zones to achieve new heights and levels of proficiency in anything they put their minds and bodies to. Nergal teaches us to fight when we must but also know and respect our enemy for who they are and what they stand for – nothing mroe, nothing less. Many if not most of the occultists I have met have trained in at least one martial art for at least a year, and this is an excellent accompaniment to spiritual study that prevents one from becoming too cerebral and helps an initiate to understand, as one sister of mine put it, “the Teachings in Movement and Motion”. Although fear may still come, great bravery is acquired in this stage which helps the initiate to survive and overcome whatever obstacles arise in his or her path.

The term Adeptus Exemptus can be understood in two ways. The first is that these initiates are exemplary examples for their compatriots to follow. They have begun to truly realize their spiritual nobility – the “blue blood” of royalty. This sphere and grade teach what is called Righteous Kingship – how to lead and command both spirits and men, and to organize and manifest a divine kingdom on Earth. The second understanding of Exemptus is that these adepts become exempt from the formal and informal laws and dogmas to which their younger siblings are bound, consciously or unconsciously. These initiates learn to live justly and rightly in a more personal sense, in which the law is “written on their hearts” and understood and executed without narrowness or ritual specifics. This is the beginning of the birth of creativity, in that a written code can be transcended in favor of an intuitive leap. This comes with an understaning of the origin, nature, and spirit of the law, so that lip-service and repeitive ritual become replaced by very meaningful and powerful rites of a personal nature, of which “even the Elder Gods are awed thereby”.

OPEN LETTER TO DAN HARMS PART 12: DISCOVERING THE REALITY OF AZAG-THOTH FROM THE ERRORS OF JOHN WISDOM GONCE AND DAN HARMS

Greetings!

 

I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone here. It has certainly been quite a learning experience and quite a bit of research in maintaining this blog page. Some of our regular readers are more than familiar with the debates that Dan Harms and myself have had for the past year or so. Websites like Mythostomes have stated the following in review of the GateWalker’s Page:

 

http://www.mythostomes.com/component/option,com_weblinks/catid,40/Itemid,23/

 

“A Necronomicon believer blog, featuring copious amounts of information for believers in Simon’s book. Not to be confused with “Papers Falling From an Attic Window,” a skeptical blog. The two blogs seem to have an… interesting relationship.”

 

I must say that I have learned quite a bit of information from our debates. It is useful in a sense because I had to go into researching areas that I might have not investigated if it weren’t brought up by Harms. Although some of our debates have gotten into an exchange of words at times, I still have a great respect for the authors of the Necronomicon Files committee. John Wisdom Gonce III is a Reiki Master, like myself, and for those who are not familiar with Reiki there are five principles that must be maintained, so I know that for the most part they are working from a somewhat sincere perspective. Yet sincerity alone is not enough when it comes to getting to a core understanding of the Ancient Necronomicon Tradition and its Mesopotamian roots. Research is involved and a comparative mind is more than necessary in determining what is actually real from what is symbolic. However, while research is essential in the field of anthropology and occult history, these  things in themselves are not enough, and this is one fallacy in the western world of occultism. John Wisdom Gonce III , who is a practicing Occultist, should be well aware that an individual’s emotional state has an effect on the outcome of one’s magic. This would also apply in our research of the ancient occult practices of Ancient Mesopotamia. If the student has not taken the time to employ the same rituals that were used by the peoples of Ancient Mesopotamia, he or she, will be completely unable to understand the emotional perspective of these people. This is why Dan Harms and John Wisdom Gonce III are not able to understand the Simon Necronomicon Tradition and can make no valid argument or critique against it to a fellow practitioner of the Simon Necronomicon. This is the very same reason why anthropologists and scholars, who have spent a tremendous amount of time and effort in uncovering a most priceless treasure, can only theorize and toss around ideas and possible perspectives of the ancient world, but no solid facts on how ancient people viewed life. Keeping this is mind let us review a recent comment left on the Gatewalker’s Page by Mister Dan Harms, which could be found here:

 

http://warlockasylum.wordpress.com/2009/02/23/open-letter-to-dan-harms-part-10-the-sacred-necronomicon-tradition/

 

“Third, your assertion that I was implying that our knowledge of Sumer was now complete is completely off-base. I never said anything of the sort, and I certainly would know better than to say anything like it. The study of Mesopotamian religion is ongoing, and it is likely to have surprises for all of us – but we certainly know more about it than the people Simon used to write about it.”

Upon reading the above words, I thought to myself that is it worth responding to. Dan Harms has never really understood the Simon Necronomicon Tradition, which is why Gonce and himself call it a hoax. EVERY PRACTITIONER OF THE SIMON NECRONOMICON KNOWS THAT IT IS NOT A BOOK THAT LOVECRAFT WAS TALKING ABOUT! Simon himself states this in the Introduction of the Simon Necronomicon under the subheading The Mythos and the Magick:

“While the latter was a sophisticated psychological structure, intended to bring the initiate into contact with his higher Self, via a process of individuation that is active and dynamic (being brought about by the “patient” himself) as opposed to the passive depth analysis of the Jungian adepts, Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos was meant for entertainment.”

 

 

Simon’s words clearly define that Lovecraft’s work is indeed fiction and that Lovecraft’s works are for entertainment purposes only. Therefore, we know as practitioners of the Simon Necronomicon that this idea of a discovery of a Necronomicon is also fictional. However, we are also able to appreciate that the Simon Necronomicon is a grimoire that is a collection of  ancient incantations that actually existed in Mesopotamia. The work of the Simon Necronomicon was not put together by those who were just only studious, but adepts in Egyptian, Enochian, and Sumerian sources. If one were to look back upon my initial argument with Harms, they could easily see that no one here at the GateWalker’s Page were ever of the opinion that the Simon Necronomicon was discovered, but was inspired through the craftsmanship of Aleister Crowley, Eliphas Levi, Kenneth Grant, John Dee, and even Afro-Atlantean sources.

 

 

Despite the difference between harms and myself, I must admit that the work of Gonce and Harms as “agitators” in the Simon Necronomicon Tradition is quite valuable because it allows the practitioner of the Simon Necronomicon to go even deeper, which is why I consider our debates a Gate for “divine forces” to intervene and new perspectives and facts are uncovered. These discoveries not only pertain to perspectives of Crowley, Levenda, or even Lovecraft himself, but open the door to understanding that even scholars were not able to obtain. I can only reflect upon an understanding of some information  written by Maurice Nicoll, a student of Gurdjeiff, who stated that if we confine reality to just that which can be touched by the five senses, then we must consider our dreams, emotions, and thoughts as unreal. Western science has not come to the realization that “occult science” is actually a study of our dreams, emotions, and thoughts, and is a way of measuring how these things effect “reality.”

 

 

Harms words clearly indicate that he and his staff have fallen into the error of believing that what is modern is advanced. He seems to insinuate that ‘we know more about Mesopotamia than Simon did’ because of some modern discovery. Yet what Harms has not recognized is that the more we discover about an ancient civilization that is highly advanced the more valuable it becomes, and human nature can at times cause even the most noble scholar to face things that go against the grain of his/her religion, view of history and etc. For example, reports from the American media and its entertainment can be quite deceiving. I remember as a youth when the media often portrayed the faces of Ancient Egyptian Kings as looking like George Washington and Christian ministers often described, “wicked Babylon’s” first ruler, ‘a descendant of Ham’ Nimrod as having African features. Today, it has been accepted that many of the Egyptian Dynasty rulers were Afro-Asiatic. Yet the image of Babylonian rulers are no longer clearly defined as ministers of the Christian Church  would have us think, since the area of where Babylon existed may have been where civilization began, or so scholars say. While these changes in the face of ancient cultures have revolved in a seemingly 100 years, many of today’s researchers still hold faith in what they read and do not look beyond the surface, and only accept as fact what a college graduate has to say, with no background check into this individual’s world view, which may affect how, he or she, is presenting this “scholarly” information. It is because of such that the debates between Dan Harms and me have indeed become an essential tool for the Occult student and his/her search for clarity. Dan Harms presents a fallacy that at times turns out to be a key in unlocking something greater, and while Dan Harms thinks that ‘we know more today than the writers of the Simon Necronomicon,’ he is quite wrong. The Simon Necronomicon is a “divine” book just like the Holy Bible and The Qu’ran.

 

 

Since Dan Harms believes that we know more today than the writers of the Simon Necronomicon (which is like saying that we know more today about the teaching’s of Jesus than the Bible writers do)then why did Dan Harms, John Wisdom Gonce III, and Dan Clore, make crucial errors in the Necronomicon Files. We have already dismissed the idea that the Simon Necronomicon is a hoax by just one simple passage in its Introduction.. However, Clore, Gonce, and Harms have made themselves appear to be the Three Stooges of the occult community by there critique of the Simon Necronomicon that were written about in the Necronomicon Files, notice what is stated on page 154:

“Simon’s pseudo-Sumerian demon, Azag-Thoth (AzaThoth), never existed at all. While there was a hideous demon called Asag (Akkadian Asakku), Thoth is a Coptic version of the name of the Egyptian God Tehuti. Simon never explains how a Sumerian demon and an Egyptian God separated by hundreds of miles and years could have made such an unlikely fusion.”

 

 

Dan Clore erroneously decides to follow the steps of Gone and Harms, and develops a page for debunking “Fake Necronomicons.” (like Lovecraft made him the Keeper of the Tradition) which can be found here : http://www.geocities.com/soho/9879/necfake.htm where Clore states the following:

“Simon derives Azathoth from a compound AZAG-THOTH, where AZAG is indeed a Sumerian demon, and THOTH is the Coptic name for the Egyptian deity Tehuti. As to how this compound name could have come about, however, he gives us no clue. Nor does he tell us why it had never appeared in print before. “

 

Although these errors were made in ignorance  Dan Clore gives us no evidence as to how he knows that Simon got the term Azag-Thoth from AzaThoth, and like Harms he is not able to see how the Egyptian God Thoth could be connected to Mesopotamia.  Iwas surprised that neither Gonce, Harms, or Dan Clore even took the time to review history from the perspective of the relationship that Mesopotamia had with Egypt. One example of this relationship is found in the Bentresh-stela.

In the 4th Century bc, a group of priests at Karnak forge a stela to appear as being from some 800 years earlier, in the reign of Ramesses II. This probably in order to give it more authority. The content of the stela is more or less following:
Ramesses II married a princess in far off Bakhtan and she comes to Egypt as the Great Royal Wife Neferure. During a festival in Thebes, the king and queen learns that the sister of the princess, Bentresh, has fallen very ill in Bakhtan. The king sends his scribe Djeheutyemheb out there, and he reports back that the princess is possessed by an evil spirit.
Back at Thebes Ramesses consults Khonsu em-Waset Nefer-Hetep who approaches his other aspect of Khonsu pa-ir-sekher. The statue of this aspect of Khonsu is sent to Bakhtan and arrives there after seventeen months, and cures the princess Bentresh.
Instead of returning the statue of Khonsu pa-ir-sekher, the prince of Bakhtan keeps it for three years and nine months, until Khonsu appeared to him in a dream of in the form of a golden falcon, clearly stating that he wanted to return home. The statue is then returned to Egypt, laden with gifts for the Khonsu em-Waset Nefer-Hetep at Karnak.

 

This information is covered in the book Chaldean Magic: Its Origin and Development on pages 31-34, yet  I guess this occurance between Mesopotamia and Egypt was overlooked by Dan harms and his staff since they believe that modern sources are more  accurate. Although this is a well known epic. What is even more interesting about the above account and Khonsu iare the words found in this online article found at this website: http://www.egyptianmyths.net/khonsu.htm

“Khonsu was a very old god of primitive times. Khonsu was associated with the moon and was considered a form of Thoth by the Thebens, and it was in Thebes that Ramses III built the “House of Khonsu in Thebes, Nefer-hetep”

 

This answers the question posed by Harms, Gonce, and Dan Clore Dan Harms is right. The work of uncovering Ancient Mespotamia is endless, and because of such we should not rule out the authenticity of the Simon Necronomicon as a grimoire corresponding to Ancient Mesopotamian practices. and rituals. It is alittle sad to see how a group of young people would just  make it a business of debunking Simon, when that time can be used for humanitarian purposes. The same indignation that John Wisdom Gone III, Dan Harms, and Dan Clore have expressed towards the Simon Necronomicon Tradition, is the same indignation that fueled the Witch burnings of the Inquisition in Europe. It is already evident that one member of the Necronomicon Files Staff is working with the authorities in occult crimes. This is a worthy thing. However, when we read the tone that was set in the book the Necronomicon Files, it sort of reminds us of the same innuendos that must of have been used against Witches just before the inquisition, which made a  horrific genocide allowable amongst the masses. The Simon Necronomicon is no more dangerous than the Bible The Qu’ran, or the works of Lovecraft. All of these writings affect our emotional state of being. If a person has a weak emotional constitution, these works can affect him if he/she allows it.

Although we have made quite a remarkable discovery today, we must keep in mind that Dan Harms, John Wisdom Gonce III, and DanClore are still our brethren in the great Necronomicon Tradition. Let us work earnestly in encouraging them to rise from the stricken condition that they are in. Doing so we not only experience the joy of sharing blessings with them, but we are also able to empower ourselves in the evolving work of being vessels for the divine. It is them we give honor.

OPEN LETTER TO OUR READERS #1

Greetings!

 

I would like to thank all of our readers who have supported the NECRONOMICON GATEWALKER’S INFO PAGE. It has been a pleasure sharing some of the information concerning the deeper aspects of the Simon Necronomicon Tradition with you.

 

I began writing this page as a resource for those individuals who are engaged in the workings of the Simon Necronomicon. Over the past few months I even had the pleasure of participating in a debate with author/writer Dan Harms, and I extend my thanks to him and his staff for sharing with us some of the many insights from the Lovecraft Necronomicon Tradition.

 

Recently, I have noticed a growing fascination among new occultist with the Simon Necronomicon, which I am very happy to see. Along with this renewed interest in the Necronomicon, I am also seeing a wide range of discontent by those who may have tried to work with the grimoire and were unsuccessful, or those who have not taken the time to research the material, so I decided that I would list a few quick notes for the newcomer who would like to gain the most out of their experience with the Simon Necronomicon.

 

First, I would like to note that the Simon Necronomicon is not an instruction manual for Chaos Magic. I believe that it is due to pure laziness that someone would come up with an idea such as this. Every magical textbook or grimoire should be research thoroughly and not to be read on face value. In order for the novice to get the most out of any information, he/she,  has to measure it up against the template, in which the grimoire claims to get its power from. For example, Christians use the Bible as a measuring stick when reading any information that is said to be inspired by the Christian Mythos. Jews use the Torah and Muslims use the Qur’an. The Simon Necronomicon tradition and writings should also be analyzed under the same measuring stick, and the template to use is the very same source, in which the book claims to gain its power from- Ancient Mesopotamia.

 

I have seen people fall under the path of illusion by assuming that the information in the Simon Necronomicon is just made up randomly. This theory presents a few problems. First, it gives the idea that anybody can write a grimoire, which is completely idiotic.

I have seen so many miscalculations by those inexperienced ones rambling in the so-called ‘wisdom.’ I have also seen the words that people use in their Google searches to find my page, yet these inexperienced ones fail to understand that true initiation is a learning process, and also the greatest teacher. All one has to do is learn about the culture and religion of Ancient Mesopotamia, but more importantly develop a relationship with the Deities, or energies that the Chaldeans worked with. This is where things begin to move from an aspect of logic to knowing. I am sure that our relationships with our loved ones are indeed logical in some ways, but their uniqueness comes from that which is not logical, and what I am speaking about is not a visit to some fantasy land or what have you. Yet it is the same with the energies that work behind the Simon Necronomicon. When we build a relationship with these ‘deities’ they will teach us things far beyond what a Google search can. It is just like our relationship with our parents. We use logic to validate and magic to open up communication with our spiritual guides.

 

The second mistake that I have seen amongst these inexperienced ones, is assuming that the magical path is the path to power. Anyone who claims that you can gain something through occultism is looking to use you as some sort of pawn. The purpose of Occult Studies is to discover how to work with the hidden natural laws of science. If you think that inventing a light bulb is power then more power to you. This path is also for those who are born Nephilim. The Nephilimic Tradition is one that I will write about in the future though it has existed for thousands of years and this tradition is what keeps the veil between those who understand the Simon Necronomicon and those who don’t

 

I am happy to announce that we have recently updated our page and corrected some of the errors in the text. Please feel free to comment on our new look and on some of the information that is featured in our blogs. For those of you who wish to comment privately, for suggestions, I can be emailed at warlockasylum@gmail.com

 

 

Be Well
