A MARDUKITE NECRONOMICON
Perhaps one of the most controversial books to pass through the new age bowel movement is the Necronomicon released and edited by Simon (Peter Levenda) in 1977. Most of the controversy specifically with the book is in regards to the title since it was indeed made most public through the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. Firstly, the title does not mean “Book of Dead Names” and is not Latin, but instead is based on a Greek translation. The book should be more accurately interpreted as the “Laws and Rites of the Dead” or that is to say one's ancestors, since magick is a birth-right by which one calls on the divine blood within. Secondly, the work and tradition is not Sumerian, which would have heralded most attributes to ENLIL, but is instead Babylonian, deferring all powers of earthly magick and world order to specifically MARDUK & ENKI. ANU remains a distant figure and ENLIL is only mentioned out of respect. In time, the Babylonians assigned all “Enlil-ship” or “lord-ship” on Earth to MARDUK, and the ancient Epic of Creation was modified to allow the young “Slayer of Serpents” the position of “Great Slayer” in the primordial War in Heaven.
The Necronomicon provides an initiatory system that is not the subject of our interest at this juncture. All approach the Ladder of Lights in their own way and all are currently facing the sixth rung of the ladder, which is to say that which confronts us before the “Final.” The incompletion of the grimoire comes from the fact that the work was not specifically intended as a priests guide at the time the tradition was quite active in Babylon, but was instead a hasty effort in preserving a tradition that was disappearing, at least from the perspective of the author's discretion, long after. It is actually intriguing to find the Mardukite priesthood hidden in the underground a millennium after MARDUK left Babylon. So, not only was the author most likely drawing from memory or already worn tablets, but the supposed Arabic version later made it to Greek which is where we find the source of our existing version. Whether or not John Dee was involved in this process as well is questionable though not out of the question as the Enochian tradition is quite often referred to as a “system of the Necronomicon.”
The idea that the work is “devil-worship” is ludicrous in that the tradition existed in a pre-Christian era where such definitions did not exist. While many have indeed made the ENKI = Satan connection in the past, it should be understood that the opposing side of ENLIL is no more or less evil but a matter of specific perspective. The fact remains that the Enlilite worldview reigns supreme with Jehovah/Yahweh being the singular source for all in the universe and his brother “Satan” is the devil seeking to reap the souls of men away from Yahweh. Such exist as only cultural perspectives and as Babylon did indeed exist within Enlilite territory (although just to the south, Eridu was to forever and always be sacred to ENKI), Babylonians became demonized as is common in issues of warfare politics. The idea that all of the gods would be unified under a MARDUK banner who sought to return people to God through magick and prayer and not animal and other sacrifices of life or wretched enslavement did not bode well for the other gods. MARDUK sought to bring the “navel of the Earth” from antediluvial Nippur to Babylon but his “Star-Gate” at BAB.ILI (The Gateway of the Gods), the “Tower of Babel,” was destroyed in c. 3460 BC. MARDUK then went to the Nile Region as RA and there ensued a 350 year war between MARDUK and his brother THOTH/HERMES (Ningishzidda) for supremacy. Eventually Thoth bows out to start a civilization in South America as QUATZECOATL.
The Necronomicon is a Mardukite grimoire specifically for the Race of Marduk that keeps watch over the “Gate to the Outside.” In addition to the initatory program, two other key areas are maintained. Firstly, the Maqlu text which can be found on Akkadian Tablets elsewhere. These are the rudimentary protections offered to a Babylonian Mardukite. The second is the Tablets of Marduk, which is to say the Magan Text (Egpyitan) or the Enuma Elis (Babylonian) and the Underworld Descent of INANNA (ISHTAR/ISIS), who is actually MARDUK's sister, also known as ASTARTE as ASHTORETH. In addition to the Seventh Tablet that MARDUK added to the Enuma Elis, which is essentially the Book of Fifty Names found in the Necronomicon. These would be read publicaly at Marduk's Festival of A.KI.TI.
