Greetings!
I would like to welcome everyone to the GateWalker’s Page. If this is your first time here, I would suggest that you begin your journey by observing many of our previous articles listed in our menu.
Well, I thought that it would be a good time to return to a subject that is still rare amongst occultists-the Qliphothic Tree of Life. I would suggest to readers of this article that you review our previous article concerning the Qliphoth that can be found here:
http://warlockasyluminternationalnews.com/understanding-the-four-directional-gates-part-1-the-spirits/understanding-the-four-directional-gates-part-6-enki-is-the-great-kutulu/the-qliphothic-tree-of-transformation-part-1-preserving-the-necronomicon-tradition/
Amazingly, one of the things that supports the Qliphothic Tree, as being the original Tree of Life, is the life account and sayings of Jesus Christ. If we turn our attention to the Biblical Tradition, we can see a wide range of evidence to support this. First let us take a look at the book of Genesis.
It has been known amongst Occultists for many years that there are certain men and women who are of alien origin. This subject has even found its way amongst the watered down version of the Dark Mysteries, also known as the New Age Movement, in its Star-seed theories. The Mad Arab also speaks about this in his First Testimony:
“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!”
Who is this Race from beyond the Stars? A brief comparison of ancient scripture and mythology will reveal the answer to us!
One of the most misunderstood Sumerian Myths that relates to our discussion concerning the Qliphoth is the infamous Inanna’s Descent Into the Underworld. When we compare this Myth with the creation account that appears in the first chapter of Genesis, we gain a clearer understanding as to what the Myth is really talking about.
In the Sumerian Myth we first learn that Inanna/Ishtar is said to have went to the Underworld because of the death of her Brother-in-law, Gudgalana. Since the name Gudgalana means “Bull of Heaven,” it would make sense to connect his death with the slaying of the “Bull of Heaven” as found in the Gilgamesh epics, which occurred while Gilgamesh was traveling through the Cedar Forest also known as the Mountains of MASSHU.
Before Inanna makes her trip to the NetherWorld, she instructs her Watcher Ninsubur to go to Nanna, Enlil, and if these two refuse to help her in her escape of the NetherWorld, hen Ninsubur is to call upon Enki.:
“Holy Inana said to Ninšubur: “Come my faithful minister of E-ana, {my minister who speaks fair words, my escort who speaks trustworthy words} {(1 ms. has instead:) I am going to give you instructions: my instructions must be followed; I am going to say something to you: it must be observed}.”
32-36. “On this day I will descend to the underworld. When I have arrived in the underworld, make a lament for me on the ruin mounds. Beat the drum for me in the sanctuary. Make the rounds of the houses of the gods for me.”
37-40. “Lacerate your eyes for me, lacerate your nose for me. {(1 ms. adds 1 line:) Lacerate your ears for me, in public.} In private, lacerate your buttocks for me. Like a pauper, clothe yourself in a single garment and all alone set your foot in the E-kur, the house of Enlil.”
41-47. “When you have entered the E-kur, the house of Enlil, lament before Enlil: “Father Enlil, don’t let anyone kill your daughter in the underworld. Don’t let your precious metal be alloyed there with the dirt of the underworld. Don’t let your precious lapis lazuli be split there with the mason’s stone. Don’t let your boxwood be chopped up there with the carpenter’s wood. Don’t let young lady Inana be killed in the underworld.””
48-56. “If Enlil does not help you in this matter, go to Urim. In the E-mud-kura at Urim, when you have entered the E-kiš-nu-ĝal, the house of Nanna, lament before Nanna: “Father Nanna, don’t let anyone kill your daughter in the underworld. Don’t let your precious metal be alloyed there with the dirt of the underworld. Don’t let your precious lapis lazuli be split there with the mason’s stone. Don’t let your boxwood be chopped up there with the carpenter’s wood. Don’t let young lady Inana be killed in the underworld.””
57-64. “And if Nanna does not help you in this matter, go to Eridug. In Eridug, when you have entered the house of Enki, lament before Enki: “Father Enki, don’t let anyone kill your daughter in the underworld. Don’t let your precious metal be alloyed there with the dirt of the underworld. Don’t let your precious lapis lazuli be split there with the mason’s stone. Don’t let your boxwood be chopped up there with the carpenter’s wood. Don’t let young lady Inana be killed in the underworld.””
65-67. “Father Enki, the lord of great wisdom, knows about the life-giving plant and the life-giving water. He is the one who will restore me to life.”
68-72. When Inana travelled on towards the underworld, her minister Ninšubur travelled on behind her. She said to her minister Ninšubur: “Go now, my Ninšubur, and pay attention. Don’t neglect the instructions I gave you.”
73-77. When Inana arrived at the palace Ganzer, she pushed aggressively on the door of the underworld. She shouted aggressively at the gate of the underworld: “Open up, doorman, open up. Open up, Neti, open up. I am all alone and I want to come in.”
78-84. Neti, the chief doorman of the underworld, answered holy Inana: “Who are you?” “I am Inana going to the east.” “If you are Inana going to the east, why have you travelled to the land of no return? How did you set your heart on the road whose traveller never returns?”
85-89. Holy Inana answered him: “Because Lord Gud-gal-ana, the husband of my elder sister holy Ereškigala, has died; in order to have his funeral rites observed, she offers generous libations at his wake — that is the reason.””
Neti then informs Ereshkigal of Inanna’s arrival, and also that she brought with her the “seven mes.” Interestingly, Samuel N. Kramer mentions in his book, entitled The Sumerians, that the word me, “seems to denote a set of rules and regulations assigned to each cosmic entity and cultural phenomena for the purpose of keeping it operating in accordance as is the plans laid down by the deity creating it.” Now when we compare the following events of what happen to Inanna on her journey, with the first chapeter of Genesis, we get a clear definition of who this Race from beyond the Stars really is. It is amazing that Inanna had to give up a “me” a she passed through each Gate, or give up a creative power to the NetherWorld that was ruled by Ereshkigal, whose only planetary correspondent would be “Earth.” Earth and Venus are the only two feminine planets in our Solar System. We know that Venus is a planetary attribute of Inanna. This would mean that Earth must be attributed to Ninhursag (the bright side of Lamashtu). We discussed this on our blog page in this article:
http://warlockasyluminternationalnews.com/the-simon-necronomicon-pantheon-part-1-understanding-lammashta/question-from-our-readers-who-is-the-goddess-whom-no-one-worshippeth/
I must also mention that while Ninhursag and Lamashtu are both different sides of the same deity, who are both described as a lady that roars, the MAGAN Text also describes Ereshkigal as roaring:
“The Eye upon the Throne took flight
ERESHKIGAL roared and summoned NAMMTAR”
Therefore, when Inanna descended into the NetherWorld, she was relinquishing her me to the Earthly realm. Keeping this in mind, we could now make the comparison between the Genesis account of creation and Inaanna’s Descent into the Underworld.. I would suggest that the reader investigates various legends and versions of the Sumerian Myth concerning Inanna’s Descent into the Underworld. For the rest of this discussion we will be using the account that is found in the MAGAN Text entitled “Of the Sleep Of ISHTAR, which is not a basterdized version of Inanna’s Descent Into the NetherWorld, but a treaty in Initiation.
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. “Gen 1:1-5
One may wonder how the above Biblical passage relates to Inanna’s Descent Into he NetherWorld? Well, if we look closely at the passage, we find the terms “evening and morning” after every creative day, even the day when, according to Biblical lor, there were no luminaries in the sky. The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics Part 13 by James Hastings, makes this observation on page 432:
“The identity of Venus as morning star with Venus as evening star was known in the Assyrian period, and probably much earlier. There are numerous official reports of the astrologers that speak of Ishtar as morning and evening star” (Jastrow, ii. 612)
What we also find interesting is that the Biblical accounts describes the “evening” before the “morning” after each creative day. Ishtar as the “evening star” indicates her warlike aspect. This would mean that the Biblical Creation Account in the first chapter of Genesis was actually taken from Inanna’s Descent into the NetherWorld. Although, some may find it odd, as to why parts of the Sumerian Myth would appear in an account about creation, if we reflect upon the idea that the first chapter of Genesis is vastly different from the Creation account that appears in the second chapter of Genesis, may explain ithis oddity. Taking into consideration that the first chapter of Genesis is a description of the Watcher-Class’ Descent into the Underworld. This Watcher–Class is collectively described as Ishtar in some of the Sumerian Myths. The ARRA Sign is a five-pointed star,. This was evidently the symbol of the Watcher-Class known as Ishtar. The word “star” is a derivative of ISHTAR. This is what is referred to in the Liber AL, where it states that ‘Every man and every woman is a star.’ The second chapter of Genesis would refer to the creation of Man by Enlil or Yahweh. The first chapeter of Genesis does not describe “man” as being created from the ground, and it seems to imply a multiplicity of couples and not just one couple, as found in the second chapter. This would also mean that the Watcher –Class came into this realm through the Qliphothic Tress. Notice the comparison:
“The God of the Moon is the God NANNA. He is Father of the Zonei, and the Eldest of the Wanderers. He is long of beard, and bears a wand of lapis lazuli in his palm, and possesses the secret of the tides of blood. His colour is Silver. His Essence is to be found in Silver, and in camphor, and in those things bearing the sign of the Moon. He is sometimes called SIN. His Gate is the first you will pass in the rituals that follow. His Step on the Ladder of Lights is also Silver”
Notice the connection between the first day of Genesis and the NANNA Gate:
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. “Gen 1:1-5
Now let us observe how this relates to the Of The Sleep of ISHTAR in the Magan Text:
“At the First Gate
NINGHIZHIDDA removed the Crown
The Great Crown of Her head he took away
And ISHTAR asked
Why, Serpent, has thou removed my First Jewel?
And the Serpent answered
Thus is, the Covenant of Old, set down before Time,
The Rules of the Lady of KUTU.
Enter the First Gate. (excerpt from the Magan Text)
Now let us look at the Second day of Creation:
“The God of Mercury is NEBO. He is a very old spirit, having a long beard, and is the guardian of the Gods, as well as the keeper of the knowledge of Science. He wears a crown of one hundred horns, and the long robe of the Priest. His colour is blue. His Essence is in that metal known as Quicksilver, and is sometimes also found in sand, and in those things bearing the sign of Mercury. His Gate is the Second you will pass in the rituals that follow. His Step on the Ladder of Lights is blue.”
“And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.” Gen 1:6-8
“And the Second Gate
NINNGHIZHIDDA removed the Wand
The Wand of Lapis Lazuli he took away
And ISHTAR asked
Why, NETI, has thou removed my Second Jewel?
And NETI answered
Thus it is, the Covenant of Old, set down before Time
The Decrees of the Lady of KUTU.
Enter the Second Gate.” (excerpt from the Magan Text)
Now let us examine the Third Day of Creation:
“The Goddess of Venus is the most excellent Queen INANNA, called of the Babylonians ISHTAR. She is the Goddess of Passion, both of Love and of War, depending upon her sign and the time of her appearance in the heavens. She appears as a most beautiful Lady, in the company of lions, and partakes of a subtle astral nature with the Moon God NANNA. When they are in agreement, that is, when their two plants are auspiciously arranged in the heavens, it is as two offering-cups split freely in the heavens, to rain the sweet wine of the Gods upon the earth. And then there is great happiness and rejoicing. She sometimes appears in armour, and is thereby a most excellent guardian against the machinations of her sister, the dread Queen ERESHKIGAL of KUR. With the Name and Number of INANNA, no Priest need fear to walk into the very depths of the Underworld; for being armed, in Her armour, he is similar to the Goddess. It was thus that I descended into the foul pits that lie gaping beneath the crust of the earth, and commanded demons.
She is similarly the Goddess of Love, and bestows a favourable bride upon any man who desires it, and who makes the proper sacrifice.
BUT KNOW THAT INANNA TAKES HER OWN FOR HER OWN, AND THAT ONCE CHOSEN BY HER NO MAN MAY TAKE ANOTHER BRIDE.
Her colour is the purest White. Her manifestation is in the metal Copper, and also in the most beautiful flowers of a field, and in the saddest death of the battlefield, which is that field’s fairest flower. Her Gate is the Third you will pass in the rites that follow, and in which place you will be of a heart to stay; but turn you face to the road that leads beyond, for that is your genuine goal, unless the Goddess choses you. Her Step on the Ladder of Lights, built of old in Babylon and at UR, is White.
This is her Seal, which you must engrave on Copper, Venus being exalted in the Heavens, with no one about watching its construction. Being finished, it is to be wrapped in the purest silk and lain safely away, only to be removed when need arises, at any time.”
“And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.” Gen 1:9-13
“At the Third Gate
NINNGHIZHIDDA removed the Jewels
The Jewels around her neck he took away
And ISHTAR asked
Why, Gatekeeper, has thou removed my Third Jewel?
And the Gatekeeper answered
Thus it is, the Covenant of Old, set down before Time,
The Decrees of the Lady of KUTU
Enter the Third Gate. (excerpt from the Magan Text)
Now let us observe the Fourth Day of Creation:
“This God of the Sun is the Lord SHAMMASH, son of NANNA. He is seated upon a throne of gold, wearing a crown of two horns, holding a sceptre aloft in his right hand and a flame disk in his life, sending rays in every direction. He is the God of Light and of life. His colour is Gold. His Essence is to be found in gold, and in all golden objects and plants. He is sometimes called UDUU. His Gate is the Fourth you will pass in the rituals that follow. His Step on the great Ladder of Lights is Gold.”
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.” Gen 1:14-19
“At the Fourth Gate
NINGHIZHIDDA removed the Jewels
The Jewels on her breast he took away
And ISHTAR asked
Why, Guardian of the Outer, has thou removed my Fourth Jewel?
And the Guardian answered
Thus it is, the Covenant of Old, set down before Time,
The Rules of the Lady of KUTU.
Enter the Fourth Gate.” (excerpt from the Magan Text)
Now let us look at the Fifth Day of Creation:
“The God of Mars is the mighty NERGAL.
He has the head of a man on the body of a lion, and bears a sword and a flail. He is the God of War, and of the fortunes of War. He was sometimes though to be an agent of the Ancient Ones, for he dwelt in CUTHA for a time. His colour is dark red. His essence is to be found in Iron, and in all weapons made to spill the blood of men and of animals. His Gate is the Fifth you will see as you pass the Zones in the rituals that follow. “
“And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.” Gen 1:20-23
“At the Fifth Gate
NINNGHIZHIDDA removed the Jewels
The Belt of Jewels around her hips he took away
And ISHTAR asked
Why, Watcher of the Forbidden Entrance, hast thou removed my Fifth Jewel?
And the Watcher answered
Thus it is, the Covenant of Old, set down before Time,
The Rules of the Lady of KUTUK.
Enter the Fifth Gate.”
The Sixth Day of Creation:
“The God of Jupiter is the Lord of Magicians, MARDUK KURIOS of the Double-headed Axe. MARDUK was born of our Father, ENKI, to do battle against the forces of the Ancient Ones, and he won a powerful fight, subduing the armies of Evil and putting the Queen of the Ancient Ones beneath his foot. That Serpent is dead, but dreams. MARDUK was bestowed Fifty Names and Powers by the Council of the Elder Gods, which Powers he retains to this day. His colour is Purple. His Essence is in the material tin, and in brass. His Gate is the Sixth that you will come upon as you follow the rituals that follow. His Step on the Ladder of Lights in Purple.”
“And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Gen 1:24-31
“At the Sixth Gate
NINNGHIZHIDDA removed the Jewels
The Jewels around her wrists
And the Jewels around her ankles he took away.
And ISHTAR asked
Why, NINNKIGAL, hast thou removed my Sixth Jewel?
And NINKIGAL answered
Thus it is, the ancient Covenant, set down before Time,
The Decrees of Lady of KUTU.
Enter the Sixth Gate.”
Now let us make a comparison with the Seventh Day of Creation:
“The God of Saturn is NINIB called ADAR, the Lord of Hunters and of Strength. He appears with a crown of horns and a long sword, wearing a lion’s skin. he is the final Zonei before the terrible IGIGI. His colour is the darkest black. His Essence is to be found in lead, in the burnt embers of the fire, and in things of death and of antiquity. The horns of a stag are his symbol. His Gate is the Last you will come upon in the rites that follow. His Step on the Ladder of Lights is Black.”
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. “Gen 2:1-3
“At the Seventh Gate
NINNGHIZHIDDA removed the Jewels
The Jewelled Robes of ISHTAR he took away.
ISHTAR, without protection, without safety,
ISHTAR, without talisman or amulet, asked
Why, Messenger of the Ancient Ones, hast thou removed my Seventh Jewel?
And the Messenger of the Ancient Ones replied
Thus it is, the Covenant of Old, set down before Time,
The Rules of the Lady of KUTU.
Enter the Seventh Gate and behold the Nether World.
ISHTAR had descended to the Land of KUR
To the Depths of CUTHA she went down.
Having lost her Seven Talisman of the Upper Worlds
Having lost her Seven Powers of the Land of the Living
Without Food of Life or Water of Life
She appeared before ERESHKIGAL, Mistress of Death.
ERESHKIGAL screamed at Her presence.
ISHTAR raised up Her arm.
ERESHKIGAL summoned NAMMTAR
The Magician NAMMTAR
Saying these words she spoke to him
Go! Imprison her!
Bind her in Darkness!
Chain her in the Sea below the Seas!
Release against her the Seven ANNUNNAKI!
Release against her the Sixty Demons!
Against her eyes, the demons of the eyes!
Against her sides, the demons of the sides!
Against her heart, the demons of the heart!
Against her feet, the demons of the feet!
Against her head, the demons of the head!
Against her entire body, the demons the KUR!
And the demons tore at her, from every side.
And the ANNUNAKI, Dread Judges
Seven Lords of the Underworld
Drew Around Her
Faceless Gods of ABSU
They stared
Fixed her with the Eye of Death
Withe the Glance of Death
They killed her
And hung her like a corpse from a stake
The sixty demons tearing her limbs from her sides
Her eyes from her head
Her ears from her skull.
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.
And the Elder Ones were rent with fear.”
Anyone who is familiar with Cabbalistic Correspondences could easily see the similarities between the Seven Days of Creation, as found in Genesis, and the Qliphotic Tree that Simon uses in the Simon Necronomicon. We know for certain that each “creative day” is of Sumerian and Babylonian sources due to what is found at the end of the verses describing the creative days:
“And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
The term “an evening and the morning” appear after each creative day of man except the Seventh Day. Now theologians assert that these creative days were periods in time not literal 24v hour days, which can be compared with science. Notice the following link:
http://www.hpcisp.com/~kls/page2.html
Therefore, the term evening and morning must be symbolic of INANNA/ISHTAR who is known as the morning and evening star. However, in the verses found in Genesis the term “evening” comes before “morning” which indicates ISHTAR is a warlike mode, or that of a descent. Since INANNA was crucified on the Seventh Day, the terms “there was an evening and morning” do not appear in the seventh day’s description, and we must remember that man is still living in the Seventh Day. Yet we can see here that this “Descent” describes the appearance of the Watchers or the Heavenly Class of ISHTAR. Notice what is stated towards the conclusion of the first chapter of Genesis:
“And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Gen 1:24-31
If we notice in the above passage taken from Genesis Chapter One, there is know mention of man being made from the soil, as it states in the Second Chapter of Genesis. Additionaly, in Genesis Chapter One, man is given every tree bearing fruit, which is different from the Second Chapter of Genesis where man is told not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Bad. Plus, we also see in the first Chapter that multiple men and women were made, and they were given dominion over the fish of the sea ( the Underworld), and the fowl of the air (the Abyss), and everything that moveth upon the Earth (Ganzir). We can also see from the above passage that this man was told to “replenish the earth.” This means that the Class of ISHTAR/TIAMAT were the original founders of the Earth, and since they knew earth’s cycle, they would escape when life became unbearable on the planet and return to replenish it at a later date because of the elements that earth produces. We also see, from the Qliphothic deities that were mentioned above, which are found in the Simon Necronomicon, that their entrance into our world was based on Walking the Qliphothic Tree. Once they arrived here, they assumed human bodies and began working on restoring the Earth. We know this to be true since we are told that “God” planted a garden in Eden. It seems evident that this “God” was the Watcher-Class replenishing the Earth, but decided to rest from their work and made humans to work for them. Thus, we see two classes of beings upon the earthly plane, the Watchers and human beings. It seems that this Stellar Race had debates about the future of man and man’s evolution. This is supported by the Sumerian Myths of Adapa and the South Winds. Yet we see in the second chapter of Genesis that there was another being, man, who was created from the ground and placed in the Garden of Eden. We are also told in this account that a woman was made for him and a by-product of his rib. The second chapter of Genesis ends with verse 25, which states the following:
“And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. “
Interestingly, we find Inanna in the same condition of nakedness, after she is stripped of all her garments and mes. Notice how the original account concerning her descent is worded:
“164-172. After she had crouched down and had her clothes removed, they were carried away. Then she made her sister Ereškigala rise from her throne, and instead she sat on her throne. The Anuna, the seven judges, rendered their decision against her. They looked at her — it was the look of death. They spoke to her — it was the speech of anger. They shouted at her — it was the shout of heavy guilt. The afflicted woman was turned into a corpse. And the corpse was hung on a hook”
This would seem to signify that the Watcher-Class, or ISHTAR, was in a position that was relative to the first human beings. They were able then, to communicate with them. Keeping this in mind, let us now examine the third chapter of Genesis, we will be using the New American translation of the Bible:
1
Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the animals that the LORD God had made. The serpent asked the woman, “Did God really tell you not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?”
2
The woman answered the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden;
3
it is only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that God said, ‘You shall not eat it or even touch it, lest you die.'”
4
But the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die! “
The Watcher-Class is described in the above passage as a “serpent.” In the book Flying Serpents and Dragons: The Story of Mankind’s Reptilian Past by R. A. Boulay, we find the following observation made on page 65:
“The Sumerians and Akkadians did not call their alien visitors “gods.”…They were called “lofty ones,” in the sense of those who occupied heaven.”
Prior to this Boulay makes another observation of page 62:
The Sumerians had several names for their gods. They all have the basic meaning of a flaming flying serpent”
In the book Dragon Legacy by Nicholas de Vere, Tracy R. Twyman, we find the following observation made on page 204:
“It seems fairly conclusive that these serpent gods were later referred to by the Sumerian people themselves as the Anunnagi from whence is derived naga, or a serpent or Dragon God of the Vedas.”
Thus, the “serpent” that appears in the second chapter of Genesis must have been one of the Anunnaki. This would then explain why Eve was not startled that a serpent was talking to her, as this “serpent” was from the same race of being who were involved in the creation of human beings. Now that we have a clear understanding of this, let us move on in our reading of chapter three of Genesis:
5
1 No, God knows well that the moment you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods who know what is good and what is bad.”
6
The woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eyes, and desirable for gaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
7
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.
The above passage reveals to us that the “serpent” actually trying help man evolve when viewed in the proper context.. We see how early man was able to make clothes for themselves and learned how to judge for themselves what was right and what was wrong.. This is the beginning of civilization amongst humanity. Evidently this “serpent” was the same class of Watchers who are described as descending down and taking human bodies to copulate with earthly women. Christians like to believe that Satan told the first lie, but we can see from this Biblical passage that he actually told the truth. The eyes of humanity were opened and they lived on for hundreds of years. There is no lie in what the “serpent” said. It seems that this “serpent” would be none other than those Watchersi who opposed Enlil idea of a human slave race. This can be seen by reviewing the passages that follow
8
2 When they heard the sound of the LORD God moving about in the garden at the breezy time of the day, the man and his wife hid themselves from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
9
The LORD God then called to the man and asked him, “Where are you?”
10
He answered, “I heard you in the garden; but I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid myself.”
11
Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? You have eaten, then, from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat!”
12
The man replied, “The woman whom you put here with me–she gave me fruit from the tree, so I ate it.”
13
The LORD God then asked the woman, “Why did you do such a thing?” The woman answered, “The serpent tricked me into it, so I ate it.”
14
Then the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you shall be banned from all the animals and from all the wild creatures; On your belly shall you crawl, and dirt shall you eat all the days of your life.
15
3 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel.”
16
To the woman he said: “I will intensify the pangs of your childbearing; in pain shall you bring forth children. Yet your urge shall be for your husband, and he shall be your master.”
17
To the man he said: “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat, “Cursed be the ground because of you! In toil shall you eat its yield all the days of your life.
18
Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, as you eat of the plants of the field.
19
By the sweat of your face shall you get bread to eat, Until you return to the ground, from which you were taken; For you are dirt, and to dirt you shall return.”
20
4 The man called his wife Eve, because she became the mother of all the living.
21
For the man and his wife the LORD God made leather garments, with which he clothed them.
22
Then the LORD God said: “See! The man has become like one of us, knowing what is good and what is bad! Therefore, he must not be allowed to put out his hand to take fruit from the tree of life also, and thus eat of it and live forever.”
23
The LORD God therefore banished him from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he had been taken.
24
5 When he expelled the man, he settled him east of the garden of Eden; and he stationed the cherubim and the fiery revolving sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.
It is interesting to note that the “Lord” discovered the human pair while walking through the Garden during the “breezy part” of the day. It would be appropriate to understand that this “God: is Enlil, Lord of the Air. Enlil was opposed human evolution. Yet we find the above passages interesting since they explore what happened to the Watcher-Class. We see that the “serpent” or Watcher Class was said to be struck on the head by humanity. This means that the governing forces are trying to keep the Watcher-Class unaware of their true heritage and built a system of religion, or religions, to keep the ISHTAR Class from remembering themselves. The mad Arab comments on this in his First Testimony:
“Let all who read this book be warned thereby that the habitation of men are seen and surveyed by that Ancient Race of gods and demons from a time before time, and that they seek revenge for that forgotten battle that took place somewhere in the Cosmos and rent the Worlds in the days before the creation of Man, when the Elder Gods walked the Spaces,”
Amazingly, modern religion will have you thinking in reverse, while unable to assess that the Biblical God is opposed to human evolution, and desires that only his needs be fulfilled. When the human being listened to the “serpent” the Bible didn’t mentioned anything about them committing any sinful behavior. They just sowed clothes for themselves and was working in the Garden. Human beings became corrupt due to the theocratic abuse that early humans experienced through their interactions with the Biblical God. The above verses, as found in Genesis, clearly state that it was this “Biblical God” who made women submissive to man and create an enmity between the seed of the “serpent” and that of humans. It is also found in the same verses of Genesis that it was this “Biblical God” and not the “serpent,” who removed any possibility of man obtaining immortality by removing the Tree of Life from the Garden of Eden and placing two cherub angels with a flaming sword to guard it. Yet this is the same God that is worshipped by millions across the globe, while those who are practicing occultists must keep their tradition in secret. This is the enmity that was put between man and the “serpent.” The “serpent” is the Watcher-Class. Yet the passage in Genesis tells us that enmity was put between the “serpent” and man, and this was done by placing the veil of religion upon the Watcher-Class, and he lost memory of himself. We can see further how the Watcher-Class was persecuted by humans, as the advent of the Abrahamic Religions began to rise so did the persecution of those practicing the Craft. Interestingly, the word wicked and wickedness, as it is found in the Bible, actually has an etymological origin with the word witch or wizard, and all throughout the Hebrew Scriptures “wickedness” is condemned. Not only were these acts condemned but those found practicing them were often put to death. Yet despite all the evil deeds that have been done in the name of these Abrahamic religions, witchcraft is still seen as evil. However, there is one very important point that ties our discussion together and that is the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life was actually the portal through which one ascends to the point of origin that the Watcher-Class, or ISHTAR, came through. The Tree of Life is the Qliphothic Tree. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad in its diluted form is the Tree that most Cabbalists refer to as the Tree of Life, but is not the Tree of Life, and since they remain stuck with identity of the Tree as being Abrahamic in origin, immortality evades them. We learn that the Qliphothic tree is the Tree of Life as mentioned in the Bible, when we look into the Myth of Adapa and the Food of Life:
“The road to Heaven he made him take, and to Heaven he ascended.
When he came to Heaven, when he approached the door of Anu,
At the door of Ann, Tammuz and Gisbzida are standing.
When they saw him, Adapa, they cried: ” Help,
Sir, for whom dost thou so appear? Adapa”
(The above was translated by R. W. Rogers in 1913) We can see how the genesis account was modled after earlier Sumerian Mythologies. Here we see that the two cherubim that were guarding the Tree of Life, as found in Genesis, correspond to Tammuz and Gishzida, who guard the Throne of Anu, in the Myth concerning Adapa. Here we see Adapa had a chance at immortality but refused it. This signifies that the Qliphothic Tree is the Tree of Life. First one enters the Qliphotic Tree in its aspect of being the Tree of Knowledge of God and Bad. When one is able to reach the furthest part, they are in the Gate of Anu, like Adapa. It is from here that we are move on, if allowed, into the womb of the Mother Tiamat, whose name means “maiden of life.”
This sis why Simon used the term Ningizzida instead of neti in some of the [assages in the MAGAN Text concerning the Sleep of ISHTAR, as Ningizzida means “lord of the good tree.” We can also see that if we are ISHTAR existing in the Underworld today, by Calling on Enki via the Watcher, our mentality can be lifted up and the bruise we received to the head, will be healed. We can learn this attribute by observing on of the great Gatewalkers of all time Jesus Christ.
Part Two: Jesus Christ Sorcereer of the Qliphotic Tree.
The life of Jesus Christ, as described in the New Testament refers heavily to the Ancient Chaldean practices of working with the Qliphoth. While many GateWalkers of the Qliphothic Tree respect the teachings of Jesus, we value more that he does not appear in our Tradition nor is he a deity in the Necronomicon Pantheon. However, the GateWalker recognizes Jesus in his prehistoric form, which is Enki.
Although, there are many Christians and Jews who would like to belive that Jesus was practicing the Jewish faith, this is far from the truth. Ezekiel 8:14 lets us know that there were other belief systems that existed amongst Jewish peoples in ancient times:
“Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.”
We also find another account of Jewish peoples turning to other gods to worship in the infamous legend of the Golden Calf that was built when Moses asscended Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments. Yet I must warn the reader to look at these occurances objectively. Bible writers would like for us to believe that the ancient Jewish peoples kept turning to false gods inspite of all the miracles that Yahweh demonstrated. However, it would seem more reasonable to approach the writings of the Old Testament from the perspective that the Cult of Moses was trying to wipe out any traces of the Sumerian/Babylonian belief that existed amongst the Anceint Jews, and these same Bible writers wrote as if other cults didn’t exist so that no record of them existing amongst the Jews of ancient times could be found. We will discover evidence of this as we approach the life of Jesus Christ. We will discuss this in our next article
Warlock Asylum an Ancient one
I would like to welcome everyone to the GateWalker’s Page. If this is your first time here, I would suggest that you begin your journey by observing many of our previous articles listed in our menu.
Well, I thought that it would be a good time to return to a subject that is still rare amongst occultists-the Qliphothic Tree of Life. I would suggest to readers of this article that you review our previous article concerning the Qliphoth that can be found here:
http://warlockasyluminternationalnews.com/understanding-the-four-directional-gates-part-1-the-spirits/understanding-the-four-directional-gates-part-6-enki-is-the-great-kutulu/the-qliphothic-tree-of-transformation-part-1-preserving-the-necronomicon-tradition/
Amazingly, one of the things that supports the Qliphothic Tree, as being the original Tree of Life, is the life account and sayings of Jesus Christ. If we turn our attention to the Biblical Tradition, we can see a wide range of evidence to support this. First let us take a look at the book of Genesis.
It has been known amongst Occultists for many years that there are certain men and women who are of alien origin. This subject has even found its way amongst the watered down version of the Dark Mysteries, also known as the New Age Movement, in its Star-seed theories. The Mad Arab also speaks about this in his First Testimony:
“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!”
Who is this Race from beyond the Stars? A brief comparison of ancient scripture and mythology will reveal the answer to us!
One of the most misunderstood Sumerian Myths that relates to our discussion concerning the Qliphoth is the infamous Inanna’s Descent Into the Underworld. When we compare this Myth with the creation account that appears in the first chapter of Genesis, we gain a clearer understanding as to what the Myth is really talking about.
In the Sumerian Myth we first learn that Inanna/Ishtar is said to have went to the Underworld because of the death of her Brother-in-law, Gudgalana. Since the name Gudgalana means “Bull of Heaven,” it would make sense to connect his death with the slaying of the “Bull of Heaven” as found in the Gilgamesh epics, which occurred while Gilgamesh was traveling through the Cedar Forest also known as the Mountains of MASSHU.
Before Inanna makes her trip to the NetherWorld, she instructs her Watcher Ninsubur to go to Nanna, Enlil, and if these two refuse to help her in her escape of the NetherWorld, hen Ninsubur is to call upon Enki.:
“Holy Inana said to Ninšubur: “Come my faithful minister of E-ana, {my minister who speaks fair words, my escort who speaks trustworthy words} {(1 ms. has instead:) I am going to give you instructions: my instructions must be followed; I am going to say something to you: it must be observed}.”
32-36. “On this day I will descend to the underworld. When I have arrived in the underworld, make a lament for me on the ruin mounds. Beat the drum for me in the sanctuary. Make the rounds of the houses of the gods for me.”
37-40. “Lacerate your eyes for me, lacerate your nose for me. {(1 ms. adds 1 line:) Lacerate your ears for me, in public.} In private, lacerate your buttocks for me. Like a pauper, clothe yourself in a single garment and all alone set your foot in the E-kur, the house of Enlil.”
41-47. “When you have entered the E-kur, the house of Enlil, lament before Enlil: “Father Enlil, don’t let anyone kill your daughter in the underworld. Don’t let your precious metal be alloyed there with the dirt of the underworld. Don’t let your precious lapis lazuli be split there with the mason’s stone. Don’t let your boxwood be chopped up there with the carpenter’s wood. Don’t let young lady Inana be killed in the underworld.””
48-56. “If Enlil does not help you in this matter, go to Urim. In the E-mud-kura at Urim, when you have entered the E-kiš-nu-ĝal, the house of Nanna, lament before Nanna: “Father Nanna, don’t let anyone kill your daughter in the underworld. Don’t let your precious metal be alloyed there with the dirt of the underworld. Don’t let your precious lapis lazuli be split there with the mason’s stone. Don’t let your boxwood be chopped up there with the carpenter’s wood. Don’t let young lady Inana be killed in the underworld.””
57-64. “And if Nanna does not help you in this matter, go to Eridug. In Eridug, when you have entered the house of Enki, lament before Enki: “Father Enki, don’t let anyone kill your daughter in the underworld. Don’t let your precious metal be alloyed there with the dirt of the underworld. Don’t let your precious lapis lazuli be split there with the mason’s stone. Don’t let your boxwood be chopped up there with the carpenter’s wood. Don’t let young lady Inana be killed in the underworld.””
65-67. “Father Enki, the lord of great wisdom, knows about the life-giving plant and the life-giving water. He is the one who will restore me to life.”
68-72. When Inana travelled on towards the underworld, her minister Ninšubur travelled on behind her. She said to her minister Ninšubur: “Go now, my Ninšubur, and pay attention. Don’t neglect the instructions I gave you.”
73-77. When Inana arrived at the palace Ganzer, she pushed aggressively on the door of the underworld. She shouted aggressively at the gate of the underworld: “Open up, doorman, open up. Open up, Neti, open up. I am all alone and I want to come in.”
78-84. Neti, the chief doorman of the underworld, answered holy Inana: “Who are you?” “I am Inana going to the east.” “If you are Inana going to the east, why have you travelled to the land of no return? How did you set your heart on the road whose traveller never returns?”
85-89. Holy Inana answered him: “Because Lord Gud-gal-ana, the husband of my elder sister holy Ereškigala, has died; in order to have his funeral rites observed, she offers generous libations at his wake — that is the reason.””
Neti then informs Ereshkigal of Inanna’s arrival, and also that she brought with her the “seven mes.” Interestingly, Samuel N. Kramer mentions in his book, entitled The Sumerians, that the word me, “seems to denote a set of rules and regulations assigned to each cosmic entity and cultural phenomena for the purpose of keeping it operating in accordance as is the plans laid down by the deity creating it.” Now when we compare the following events of what happen to Inanna on her journey, with the first chapeter of Genesis, we get a clear definition of who this Race from beyond the Stars really is. It is amazing that Inanna had to give up a “me” a she passed through each Gate, or give up a creative power to the NetherWorld that was ruled by Ereshkigal, whose only planetary correspondent would be “Earth.” Earth and Venus are the only two feminine planets in our Solar System. We know that Venus is a planetary attribute of Inanna. This would mean that Earth must be attributed to Ninhursag (the bright side of Lamashtu). We discussed this on our blog page in this article:
http://warlockasyluminternationalnews.com/the-simon-necronomicon-pantheon-part-1-understanding-lammashta/question-from-our-readers-who-is-the-goddess-whom-no-one-worshippeth/
I must also mention that while Ninhursag and Lamashtu are both different sides of the same deity, who are both described as a lady that roars, the MAGAN Text also describes Ereshkigal as roaring:
“The Eye upon the Throne took flight
ERESHKIGAL roared and summoned NAMMTAR”
Therefore, when Inanna descended into the NetherWorld, she was relinquishing her me to the Earthly realm. Keeping this in mind, we could now make the comparison between the Genesis account of creation and Inaanna’s Descent into the Underworld.. I would suggest that the reader investigates various legends and versions of the Sumerian Myth concerning Inanna’s Descent into the Underworld. For the rest of this discussion we will be using the account that is found in the MAGAN Text entitled “Of the Sleep Of ISHTAR, which is not a basterdized version of Inanna’s Descent Into the NetherWorld, but a treaty in Initiation.
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. “Gen 1:1-5
One may wonder how the above Biblical passage relates to Inanna’s Descent Into he NetherWorld? Well, if we look closely at the passage, we find the terms “evening and morning” after every creative day, even the day when, according to Biblical lor, there were no luminaries in the sky. The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics Part 13 by James Hastings, makes this observation on page 432:
“The identity of Venus as morning star with Venus as evening star was known in the Assyrian period, and probably much earlier. There are numerous official reports of the astrologers that speak of Ishtar as morning and evening star” (Jastrow, ii. 612)
What we also find interesting is that the Biblical accounts describes the “evening” before the “morning” after each creative day. Ishtar as the “evening star” indicates her warlike aspect. This would mean that the Biblical Creation Account in the first chapter of Genesis was actually taken from Inanna’s Descent into the NetherWorld. Although, some may find it odd, as to why parts of the Sumerian Myth would appear in an account about creation, if we reflect upon the idea that the first chapter of Genesis is vastly different from the Creation account that appears in the second chapter of Genesis, may explain ithis oddity. Taking into consideration that the first chapter of Genesis is a description of the Watcher-Class’ Descent into the Underworld. This Watcher–Class is collectively described as Ishtar in some of the Sumerian Myths. The ARRA Sign is a five-pointed star,. This was evidently the symbol of the Watcher-Class known as Ishtar. The word “star” is a derivative of ISHTAR. This is what is referred to in the Liber AL, where it states that ‘Every man and every woman is a star.’ The second chapter of Genesis would refer to the creation of Man by Enlil or Yahweh. The first chapeter of Genesis does not describe “man” as being created from the ground, and it seems to imply a multiplicity of couples and not just one couple, as found in the second chapter. This would also mean that the Watcher –Class came into this realm through the Qliphothic Tress. Notice the comparison:
“The God of the Moon is the God NANNA. He is Father of the Zonei, and the Eldest of the Wanderers. He is long of beard, and bears a wand of lapis lazuli in his palm, and possesses the secret of the tides of blood. His colour is Silver. His Essence is to be found in Silver, and in camphor, and in those things bearing the sign of the Moon. He is sometimes called SIN. His Gate is the first you will pass in the rituals that follow. His Step on the Ladder of Lights is also Silver”
Notice the connection between the first day of Genesis and the NANNA Gate:
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. “Gen 1:1-5
Now let us observe how this relates to the Of The Sleep of ISHTAR in the Magan Text:
“At the First Gate
NINGHIZHIDDA removed the Crown
The Great Crown of Her head he took away
And ISHTAR asked
Why, Serpent, has thou removed my First Jewel?
And the Serpent answered
Thus is, the Covenant of Old, set down before Time,
The Rules of the Lady of KUTU.
Enter the First Gate. (excerpt from the Magan Text)
Now let us look at the Second day of Creation:
“The God of Mercury is NEBO. He is a very old spirit, having a long beard, and is the guardian of the Gods, as well as the keeper of the knowledge of Science. He wears a crown of one hundred horns, and the long robe of the Priest. His colour is blue. His Essence is in that metal known as Quicksilver, and is sometimes also found in sand, and in those things bearing the sign of Mercury. His Gate is the Second you will pass in the rituals that follow. His Step on the Ladder of Lights is blue.”
“And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.” Gen 1:6-8
“And the Second Gate
NINNGHIZHIDDA removed the Wand
The Wand of Lapis Lazuli he took away
And ISHTAR asked
Why, NETI, has thou removed my Second Jewel?
And NETI answered
Thus it is, the Covenant of Old, set down before Time
The Decrees of the Lady of KUTU.
Enter the Second Gate.” (excerpt from the Magan Text)
Now let us examine the Third Day of Creation:
“The Goddess of Venus is the most excellent Queen INANNA, called of the Babylonians ISHTAR. She is the Goddess of Passion, both of Love and of War, depending upon her sign and the time of her appearance in the heavens. She appears as a most beautiful Lady, in the company of lions, and partakes of a subtle astral nature with the Moon God NANNA. When they are in agreement, that is, when their two plants are auspiciously arranged in the heavens, it is as two offering-cups split freely in the heavens, to rain the sweet wine of the Gods upon the earth. And then there is great happiness and rejoicing. She sometimes appears in armour, and is thereby a most excellent guardian against the machinations of her sister, the dread Queen ERESHKIGAL of KUR. With the Name and Number of INANNA, no Priest need fear to walk into the very depths of the Underworld; for being armed, in Her armour, he is similar to the Goddess. It was thus that I descended into the foul pits that lie gaping beneath the crust of the earth, and commanded demons.
She is similarly the Goddess of Love, and bestows a favourable bride upon any man who desires it, and who makes the proper sacrifice.
BUT KNOW THAT INANNA TAKES HER OWN FOR HER OWN, AND THAT ONCE CHOSEN BY HER NO MAN MAY TAKE ANOTHER BRIDE.
Her colour is the purest White. Her manifestation is in the metal Copper, and also in the most beautiful flowers of a field, and in the saddest death of the battlefield, which is that field’s fairest flower. Her Gate is the Third you will pass in the rites that follow, and in which place you will be of a heart to stay; but turn you face to the road that leads beyond, for that is your genuine goal, unless the Goddess choses you. Her Step on the Ladder of Lights, built of old in Babylon and at UR, is White.
This is her Seal, which you must engrave on Copper, Venus being exalted in the Heavens, with no one about watching its construction. Being finished, it is to be wrapped in the purest silk and lain safely away, only to be removed when need arises, at any time.”
“And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.” Gen 1:9-13
“At the Third Gate
NINNGHIZHIDDA removed the Jewels
The Jewels around her neck he took away
And ISHTAR asked
Why, Gatekeeper, has thou removed my Third Jewel?
And the Gatekeeper answered
Thus it is, the Covenant of Old, set down before Time,
The Decrees of the Lady of KUTU
Enter the Third Gate. (excerpt from the Magan Text)
Now let us observe the Fourth Day of Creation:
“This God of the Sun is the Lord SHAMMASH, son of NANNA. He is seated upon a throne of gold, wearing a crown of two horns, holding a sceptre aloft in his right hand and a flame disk in his life, sending rays in every direction. He is the God of Light and of life. His colour is Gold. His Essence is to be found in gold, and in all golden objects and plants. He is sometimes called UDUU. His Gate is the Fourth you will pass in the rituals that follow. His Step on the great Ladder of Lights is Gold.”
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.” Gen 1:14-19
“At the Fourth Gate
NINGHIZHIDDA removed the Jewels
The Jewels on her breast he took away
And ISHTAR asked
Why, Guardian of the Outer, has thou removed my Fourth Jewel?
And the Guardian answered
Thus it is, the Covenant of Old, set down before Time,
The Rules of the Lady of KUTU.
Enter the Fourth Gate.” (excerpt from the Magan Text)
Now let us look at the Fifth Day of Creation:
“The God of Mars is the mighty NERGAL.
He has the head of a man on the body of a lion, and bears a sword and a flail. He is the God of War, and of the fortunes of War. He was sometimes though to be an agent of the Ancient Ones, for he dwelt in CUTHA for a time. His colour is dark red. His essence is to be found in Iron, and in all weapons made to spill the blood of men and of animals. His Gate is the Fifth you will see as you pass the Zones in the rituals that follow. “
“And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.” Gen 1:20-23
“At the Fifth Gate
NINNGHIZHIDDA removed the Jewels
The Belt of Jewels around her hips he took away
And ISHTAR asked
Why, Watcher of the Forbidden Entrance, hast thou removed my Fifth Jewel?
And the Watcher answered
Thus it is, the Covenant of Old, set down before Time,
The Rules of the Lady of KUTUK.
Enter the Fifth Gate.”
The Sixth Day of Creation:
“The God of Jupiter is the Lord of Magicians, MARDUK KURIOS of the Double-headed Axe. MARDUK was born of our Father, ENKI, to do battle against the forces of the Ancient Ones, and he won a powerful fight, subduing the armies of Evil and putting the Queen of the Ancient Ones beneath his foot. That Serpent is dead, but dreams. MARDUK was bestowed Fifty Names and Powers by the Council of the Elder Gods, which Powers he retains to this day. His colour is Purple. His Essence is in the material tin, and in brass. His Gate is the Sixth that you will come upon as you follow the rituals that follow. His Step on the Ladder of Lights in Purple.”
“And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Gen 1:24-31
“At the Sixth Gate
NINNGHIZHIDDA removed the Jewels
The Jewels around her wrists
And the Jewels around her ankles he took away.
And ISHTAR asked
Why, NINNKIGAL, hast thou removed my Sixth Jewel?
And NINKIGAL answered
Thus it is, the ancient Covenant, set down before Time,
The Decrees of Lady of KUTU.
Enter the Sixth Gate.”
Now let us make a comparison with the Seventh Day of Creation:
“The God of Saturn is NINIB called ADAR, the Lord of Hunters and of Strength. He appears with a crown of horns and a long sword, wearing a lion’s skin. he is the final Zonei before the terrible IGIGI. His colour is the darkest black. His Essence is to be found in lead, in the burnt embers of the fire, and in things of death and of antiquity. The horns of a stag are his symbol. His Gate is the Last you will come upon in the rites that follow. His Step on the Ladder of Lights is Black.”
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. “Gen 2:1-3
“At the Seventh Gate
NINNGHIZHIDDA removed the Jewels
The Jewelled Robes of ISHTAR he took away.
ISHTAR, without protection, without safety,
ISHTAR, without talisman or amulet, asked
Why, Messenger of the Ancient Ones, hast thou removed my Seventh Jewel?
And the Messenger of the Ancient Ones replied
Thus it is, the Covenant of Old, set down before Time,
The Rules of the Lady of KUTU.
Enter the Seventh Gate and behold the Nether World.
ISHTAR had descended to the Land of KUR
To the Depths of CUTHA she went down.
Having lost her Seven Talisman of the Upper Worlds
Having lost her Seven Powers of the Land of the Living
Without Food of Life or Water of Life
She appeared before ERESHKIGAL, Mistress of Death.
ERESHKIGAL screamed at Her presence.
ISHTAR raised up Her arm.
ERESHKIGAL summoned NAMMTAR
The Magician NAMMTAR
Saying these words she spoke to him
Go! Imprison her!
Bind her in Darkness!
Chain her in the Sea below the Seas!
Release against her the Seven ANNUNNAKI!
Release against her the Sixty Demons!
Against her eyes, the demons of the eyes!
Against her sides, the demons of the sides!
Against her heart, the demons of the heart!
Against her feet, the demons of the feet!
Against her head, the demons of the head!
Against her entire body, the demons the KUR!
And the demons tore at her, from every side.
And the ANNUNAKI, Dread Judges
Seven Lords of the Underworld
Drew Around Her
Faceless Gods of ABSU
They stared
Fixed her with the Eye of Death
Withe the Glance of Death
They killed her
And hung her like a corpse from a stake
The sixty demons tearing her limbs from her sides
Her eyes from her head
Her ears from her skull.
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.
And the Elder Ones were rent with fear.”
Anyone who is familiar with Cabbalistic Correspondences could easily see the similarities between the Seven Days of Creation, as found in Genesis, and the Qliphotic Tree that Simon uses in the Simon Necronomicon. We know for certain that each “creative day” is of Sumerian and Babylonian sources due to what is found at the end of the verses describing the creative days:
“And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
The term “an evening and the morning” appear after each creative day of man except the Seventh Day. Now theologians assert that these creative days were periods in time not literal 24v hour days, which can be compared with science. Notice the following link:
http://www.hpcisp.com/~kls/page2.html
Therefore, the term evening and morning must be symbolic of INANNA/ISHTAR who is known as the morning and evening star. However, in the verses found in Genesis the term “evening” comes before “morning” which indicates ISHTAR is a warlike mode, or that of a descent. Since INANNA was crucified on the Seventh Day, the terms “there was an evening and morning” do not appear in the seventh day’s description, and we must remember that man is still living in the Seventh Day. Yet we can see here that this “Descent” describes the appearance of the Watchers or the Heavenly Class of ISHTAR. Notice what is stated towards the conclusion of the first chapter of Genesis:
“And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Gen 1:24-31
If we notice in the above passage taken from Genesis Chapter One, there is know mention of man being made from the soil, as it states in the Second Chapter of Genesis. Additionaly, in Genesis Chapter One, man is given every tree bearing fruit, which is different from the Second Chapter of Genesis where man is told not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Bad. Plus, we also see in the first Chapter that multiple men and women were made, and they were given dominion over the fish of the sea ( the Underworld), and the fowl of the air (the Abyss), and everything that moveth upon the Earth (Ganzir). We can also see from the above passage that this man was told to “replenish the earth.” This means that the Class of ISHTAR/TIAMAT were the original founders of the Earth, and since they knew earth’s cycle, they would escape when life became unbearable on the planet and return to replenish it at a later date because of the elements that earth produces. We also see, from the Qliphothic deities that were mentioned above, which are found in the Simon Necronomicon, that their entrance into our world was based on Walking the Qliphothic Tree. Once they arrived here, they assumed human bodies and began working on restoring the Earth. We know this to be true since we are told that “God” planted a garden in Eden. It seems evident that this “God” was the Watcher-Class replenishing the Earth, but decided to rest from their work and made humans to work for them. Thus, we see two classes of beings upon the earthly plane, the Watchers and human beings. It seems that this Stellar Race had debates about the future of man and man’s evolution. This is supported by the Sumerian Myths of Adapa and the South Winds. Yet we see in the second chapter of Genesis that there was another being, man, who was created from the ground and placed in the Garden of Eden. We are also told in this account that a woman was made for him and a by-product of his rib. The second chapter of Genesis ends with verse 25, which states the following:
“And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. “
Interestingly, we find Inanna in the same condition of nakedness, after she is stripped of all her garments and mes. Notice how the original account concerning her descent is worded:
“164-172. After she had crouched down and had her clothes removed, they were carried away. Then she made her sister Ereškigala rise from her throne, and instead she sat on her throne. The Anuna, the seven judges, rendered their decision against her. They looked at her — it was the look of death. They spoke to her — it was the speech of anger. They shouted at her — it was the shout of heavy guilt. The afflicted woman was turned into a corpse. And the corpse was hung on a hook”
This would seem to signify that the Watcher-Class, or ISHTAR, was in a position that was relative to the first human beings. They were able then, to communicate with them. Keeping this in mind, let us now examine the third chapter of Genesis, we will be using the New American translation of the Bible:
Chapter 3
1
Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the animals that the LORD God had made. The serpent asked the woman, “Did God really tell you not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?”
2
The woman answered the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden;
3
it is only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that God said, ‘You shall not eat it or even touch it, lest you die.'”
4
But the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die! “
The Watcher-Class is described in the above passage as a “serpent.” In the book Flying Serpents and Dragons: The Story of Mankind’s Reptilian Past by R. A. Boulay, we find the following observation made on page 65:
“The Sumerians and Akkadians did not call their alien visitors “gods.”…They were called “lofty ones,” in the sense of those who occupied heaven.”
Prior to this Boulay makes another observation of page 62:
The Sumerians had several names for their gods. They all have the basic meaning of a flaming flying serpent”
In the book Dragon Legacy by Nicholas de Vere, Tracy R. Twyman, we find the following observation made on page 204:
“It seems fairly conclusive that these serpent gods were later referred to by the Sumerian people themselves as the Anunnagi from whence is derived naga, or a serpent or Dragon God of the Vedas.”
Thus, the “serpent” that appears in the second chapter of Genesis must have been one of the Anunnaki. This would then explain why Eve was not startled that a serpent was talking to her, as this “serpent” was from the same race of being who were involved in the creation of human beings. Now that we have a clear understanding of this, let us move on in our reading of chapter three of Genesis:
5
1 No, God knows well that the moment you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods who know what is good and what is bad.”
6
The woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eyes, and desirable for gaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
7
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.
The above passage reveals to us that the “serpent” actually trying help man evolve when viewed in the proper context.. We see how early man was able to make clothes for themselves and learned how to judge for themselves what was right and what was wrong.. This is the beginning of civilization amongst humanity. Evidently this “serpent” was the same class of Watchers who are described as descending down and taking human bodies to copulate with earthly women. Christians like to believe that Satan told the first lie, but we can see from this Biblical passage that he actually told the truth. The eyes of humanity were opened and they lived on for hundreds of years. There is no lie in what the “serpent” said. It seems that this “serpent” would be none other than those Watchersi who opposed Enlil idea of a human slave race. This can be seen by reviewing the passages that follow
8
2 When they heard the sound of the LORD God moving about in the garden at the breezy time of the day, the man and his wife hid themselves from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
9
The LORD God then called to the man and asked him, “Where are you?”
10
He answered, “I heard you in the garden; but I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid myself.”
11
Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? You have eaten, then, from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat!”
12
The man replied, “The woman whom you put here with me–she gave me fruit from the tree, so I ate it.”
13
The LORD God then asked the woman, “Why did you do such a thing?” The woman answered, “The serpent tricked me into it, so I ate it.”
14
Then the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you shall be banned from all the animals and from all the wild creatures; On your belly shall you crawl, and dirt shall you eat all the days of your life.
15
3 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel.”
16
To the woman he said: “I will intensify the pangs of your childbearing; in pain shall you bring forth children. Yet your urge shall be for your husband, and he shall be your master.”
17
To the man he said: “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat, “Cursed be the ground because of you! In toil shall you eat its yield all the days of your life.
18
Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, as you eat of the plants of the field.
19
By the sweat of your face shall you get bread to eat, Until you return to the ground, from which you were taken; For you are dirt, and to dirt you shall return.”
20
4 The man called his wife Eve, because she became the mother of all the living.
21
For the man and his wife the LORD God made leather garments, with which he clothed them.
22
Then the LORD God said: “See! The man has become like one of us, knowing what is good and what is bad! Therefore, he must not be allowed to put out his hand to take fruit from the tree of life also, and thus eat of it and live forever.”
23
The LORD God therefore banished him from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he had been taken.
24
5 When he expelled the man, he settled him east of the garden of Eden; and he stationed the cherubim and the fiery revolving sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.
It is interesting to note that the “Lord” discovered the human pair while walking through the Garden during the “breezy part” of the day. It would be appropriate to understand that this “God: is Enlil, Lord of the Air. Enlil was opposed human evolution. Yet we find the above passages interesting since they explore what happened to the Watcher-Class. We see that the “serpent” or Watcher Class was said to be struck on the head by humanity. This means that the governing forces are trying to keep the Watcher-Class unaware of their true heritage and built a system of religion, or religions, to keep the ISHTAR Class from remembering themselves. The mad Arab comments on this in his First Testimony:
“Let all who read this book be warned thereby that the habitation of men are seen and surveyed by that Ancient Race of gods and demons from a time before time, and that they seek revenge for that forgotten battle that took place somewhere in the Cosmos and rent the Worlds in the days before the creation of Man, when the Elder Gods walked the Spaces,”
Amazingly, modern religion will have you thinking in reverse, while unable to assess that the Biblical God is opposed to human evolution, and desires that only his needs be fulfilled. When the human being listened to the “serpent” the Bible didn’t mentioned anything about them committing any sinful behavior. They just sowed clothes for themselves and was working in the Garden. Human beings became corrupt due to the theocratic abuse that early humans experienced through their interactions with the Biblical God. The above verses, as found in Genesis, clearly state that it was this “Biblical God” who made women submissive to man and create an enmity between the seed of the “serpent” and that of humans. It is also found in the same verses of Genesis that it was this “Biblical God” and not the “serpent,” who removed any possibility of man obtaining immortality by removing the Tree of Life from the Garden of Eden and placing two cherub angels with a flaming sword to guard it. Yet this is the same God that is worshipped by millions across the globe, while those who are practicing occultists must keep their tradition in secret. This is the enmity that was put between man and the “serpent.” The “serpent” is the Watcher-Class. Yet the passage in Genesis tells us that enmity was put between the “serpent” and man, and this was done by placing the veil of religion upon the Watcher-Class, and he lost memory of himself. We can see further how the Watcher-Class was persecuted by humans, as the advent of the Abrahamic Religions began to rise so did the persecution of those practicing the Craft. Interestingly, the word wicked and wickedness, as it is found in the Bible, actually has an etymological origin with the word witch or wizard, and all throughout the Hebrew Scriptures “wickedness” is condemned. Not only were these acts condemned but those found practicing them were often put to death. Yet despite all the evil deeds that have been done in the name of these Abrahamic religions, witchcraft is still seen as evil. However, there is one very important point that ties our discussion together and that is the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life was actually the portal through which one ascends to the point of origin that the Watcher-Class, or ISHTAR, came through. The Tree of Life is the Qliphothic Tree. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad in its diluted form is the Tree that most Cabbalists refer to as the Tree of Life, but is not the Tree of Life, and since they remain stuck with identity of the Tree as being Abrahamic in origin, immortality evades them. We learn that the Qliphothic tree is the Tree of Life as mentioned in the Bible, when we look into the Myth of Adapa and the Food of Life:
“The road to Heaven he made him take, and to Heaven he ascended.
When he came to Heaven, when he approached the door of Anu,
At the door of Ann, Tammuz and Gisbzida are standing.
When they saw him, Adapa, they cried: ” Help,
Sir, for whom dost thou so appear? Adapa”
(The above was translated by R. W. Rogers in 1913) We can see how the genesis account was modled after earlier Sumerian Mythologies. Here we see that the two cherubim that were guarding the Tree of Life, as found in Genesis, correspond to Tammuz and Gishzida, who guard the Throne of Anu, in the Myth concerning Adapa. Here we see Adapa had a chance at immortality but refused it. This signifies that the Qliphothic Tree is the Tree of Life. First one enters the Qliphotic Tree in its aspect of being the Tree of Knowledge of God and Bad. When one is able to reach the furthest part, they are in the Gate of Anu, like Adapa. It is from here that we are move on, if allowed, into the womb of the Mother Tiamat, whose name means “maiden of life.”
This sis why Simon used the term Ningizzida instead of neti in some of the [assages in the MAGAN Text concerning the Sleep of ISHTAR, as Ningizzida means “lord of the good tree.” We can also see that if we are ISHTAR existing in the Underworld today, by Calling on Enki via the Watcher, our mentality can be lifted up and the bruise we received to the head, will be healed. We can learn this attribute by observing on of the great Gatewalkers of all time Jesus Christ.
Part Two: Jesus Christ Sorcereer of the Qliphotic Tree.
The life of Jesus Christ, as described in the New Testament refers heavily to the Ancient Chaldean practices of working with the Qliphoth. While many GateWalkers of the Qliphothic Tree respect the teachings of Jesus, we value more that he does not appear in our Tradition nor is he a deity in the Necronomicon Pantheon. However, the GateWalker recognizes Jesus in his prehistoric form, which is Enki.
Although, there are many Christians and Jews who would like to belive that Jesus was practicing the Jewish faith, this is far from the truth. Ezekiel 8:14 lets us know that there were other belief systems that existed amongst Jewish peoples in ancient times:
“Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.”
We also find another account of Jewish peoples turning to other gods to worship in the infamous legend of the Golden Calf that was built when Moses asscended Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments. Yet I must warn the reader to look at these occurances objectively. Bible writers would like for us to believe that the ancient Jewish peoples kept turning to false gods inspite of all the miracles that Yahweh demonstrated. However, it would seem more reasonable to approach the writings of the Old Testament from the perspective that the Cult of Moses was trying to wipe out any traces of the Sumerian/Babylonian belief that existed amongst the Anceint Jews, and these same Bible writers wrote as if other cults didn’t exist so that no record of them existing amongst the Jews of ancient times could be found. We will discover evidence of this as we approach the life of Jesus Christ. We will discuss this in our next article
