How amazing it is that I sit here nearly three years after the formal founding of Mardukite Ministries and… we are still here! We were slow-to-grow compared to the standards of some movements that have swept human consciousness and yet we remained strong, sure and true to the work we conduct, and needless to say the years have seemed to just fly by.

My personal work with the movement has actually extended further back, depending on how you look at it, but even in the time that I have spent in the contemporary “New Age,” the work has been approached in many guises and forms leading back to my initial underground involvement with the occult in the mid-1990′s. My observation showed that given so much of the modern traditions and folk customs were handed down through the ages by the Druids and their compatriots, it seemed only logical to begin my literary pursuits with the foundations and origins of that tradition, which was already quite familiar to folks. Of course, their own analysis concerning the birth of Druidry had either led them to the anomalous Atlantis or worse, nowhere – and so it seemed that before any other real work could be done, some kind of “baseline” would have to be established.

The origins of the ‘mysticism’ and ‘mystery’ that the Druids inspire originated in ancient Mesopotamia – as did many of the ‘core systems’ that have become widespread in today’s world, both overtly and disguised. This entire legacy later became the subject of work by an underground collective consisting of historians, spiritual mystics, anthropologists, modern occult practitioners and even nobodies – under a banner coined “Mardukite Ministries” in 2008.

When the organization was founded, only one real work was existent in print of mine dating back to my “Merlyn Stone” days and no one really knew anything about my thesis on Druidry. I was still very much an ‘underground’ figure – I still consider myself one, really. The existence of the “Mardukites” was announced at a large public gathering in Colorado on the Summer Solstice of 2008 with the release of the first work that the organization would be known for: the Arcanum notebooks. This monstrous compendium brought together all of the main tenets and key points of the practical systems and traditions that composed human understanding of the cosmos; whether it be mystical, dating back to the ancient Sumerians, or post-modern, including a complete understanding of ‘quantum’ and ‘string’ theories. Never before had something so monumental been accomplished in the literary “New Age,” and still, these years later, few have dared to try and compete with its awesomeness.

The deeper work of the Mardukites stretched past the “New Age,” past the monuments and legacy of the culturally-specific “Druids” into the heart of something few were aware of prior to their initiation into the Mardukites. At the heart of all the global systems; at the heart of human consciousness; at the baseline of existence there was a deeper, more primordial and abiding mystery to be undertaken – the Anunnaki legacy. It has been shown in other works of mine that the ‘systems’ of the original human workers for the gods was simple enough and there was little philosophy to be attached to it. Things were what they were. But in time, as the human populations grew out past the purposes for which they had been brought forth – new possibilities emerged: the gods would no longer have to maintain worldly control themselves – this could be entrusted to certain humans. And so it was.

It is important to understand this background to conduct self-honest “magick.” The term has now become equated to mean so many things in the present era, fragmented against the same background of fundamental existence that the ancients knew. With the apparent disappearance of the ‘gods’ who at first led mankind into system-based civilization – humans, being unaware that the Anunnaki never really left them, felt alone amongst themselves. As the true memory of the past was swept away with the same sands that covered the physical evidence of the truth, humans took on a state of uncertainty. A self-honest experience of the unity of existence had been lost to systematic dissolution of reality into fragmented parts that would each take on their own followers of a new kind of priest – the scientist. For in truth, the essence of the ‘powers’ of the ‘gods’ can be best equated to technology, though they appear to be more refined then those that have generally come to be known by the contemporary populations.

A new breed of Mardukite is up-and-coming, born of a revolutionary movement catering to the next generational evolution of thought and living called “Systemology.” The way that a “systemologist” views magick has a higher equivalency to the manner in which those who birthed the originating archetypal systems of human mysticism would see it. This is not necessarily the way it was relayed to the ‘greater population’, for the true ‘secrets of the gods’ were not to be so readily available to humans. What later developed in post-Sumerian Babylon and later Egypt and the Greek “Hermetics” is the birth of ‘systems’ and system-based traditions. These fragmented the power of the ancients so that humans would be able to operate within the ‘rules of the game’ but not necessarily be able to use them as a ‘means’ of getting ‘out’ of said game-system. They only complimented each other and all of them only alluded to ‘something’ outside of itself – but this was generally to be feared and shroud in so much mystery that even the later priests of these traditions didn’t know the way back out again. In essence, humans came to be lost in a ‘matrix’ of systems.

When I am asked about “magick,” the variegated “systems of magick” and the “reality of magick,” this requires more than a simple answer. Surely, all systems can be made to work within and as themselves – that is why they are systems, and they can all be made to make sense within and as the semantics by which they have been born. This is no different than a “game” that defines a playing field, the rules of the playing field and then gets ‘willing’ participants to agree to these rules and guideposts. That an intelligent being is able to divide and resurrect a functioning system is really a small feat – getting people, individual programs to participate with and contribute to the fundamental growth and preservation of the system is what is important. This is what many of the ‘younger generation’ of Anunnaki did by the manifestation of worldly human-based systems centered on themselves. From this we have an originating political-government of ancient people that is ruled by what anthropologists might now call “magick” and “mysticism.” But this ‘magick’ is nothing like the later remnants of occultism that it had served as the basis of. So, what changed?

The first occult systems, those that appeared to humanity in the form of their original mystical traditions in Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt, were rooted in a sacred relationship established between men and gods. Therefore, all of the ‘original’ magick on the planet, that which is the basis for what came later, that which later came to serve as the programming of both religion and state, was rooted in a simple priestly service to the gods. The priests and priest-kings were selected by the ‘laws’ set down by the Anunnaki and their function was to primarily exist as an intermediary between the general population of ‘earth’ and the ‘sky gods’ of ‘heaven’. It was only during the later evolution of said system-based traditions over thousands of years that resulted in the more ‘kabbalistic’ approaches available to a seeker today – and they are so wrapped up in their own progressive attempts from human consciousness that one can spend literally several mortal lifetimes in their unraveling, because the systems have simply grown that big; by necessity of course – we can’t just have ‘free spirits’ coming in and out of reality all the time. We just can’t have it. [laughs]

The purpose behind the archetypal post-diluvian system of ‘occultism’ was the enshrouding of material existence and the ‘realm of the gods’ from the people. This meant: star-gates. And it is not so surprising that the modern self-honest pursuits into the heart of the Anunnaki mysteries should throw us such a system – an ancient Anunnaki Star-Gate System that was used in the original priesthoods between men and gods, then later contributed to all kinds of various global “systems” of occultism. Indeed here we find the origins of Egyptian religious star-lore and the Judeo-Semitic Kabbalah; here we find the basis of spiritual pantheons and legions of ‘guardian’ spirits later resurrected by shadowy visions of naïve medieval sorcerers for their “magickal” grimoires. This approach continues to this day, though it is not necessary, and many of those who have worked as or with Mardukite Chamberlains can attest to this.

With all of this being said, many will still misunderstand and so I will summarize the above as the “first” or a priori purpose of said ‘magickal tradition’ and that is: to establish and maintain a self-honest relationship with the Anunnaki. In the case of the Mardukite tradition, we are still observing the name (semantics) by which humans first knew these beings – Anunnaki – meaning, those who “[from] heaven came to earth” and seeded not only the genetics of early “upgraded” humans but also the systems of their civilization – an evolution of the same systems and an extension of the same civilization that humans experience today. The greater bulk of the Mardukite work these past three years has been concerned with this very faction of the “mysteries,” meaning the clarification and definitions by which these beings were known at the inception of the ‘systems’ thousands of years ago.

In essence, this is a large part of why a ‘ritual book’ often proves to be of little ‘practical’ interest to those ‘outside the family’ so to speak, since a prerequisite of its use is the desire and knowledge that I have just described. For many, the journey will end right there – for the way ahead is perceived as too difficult and obscure and it yields no promises of mundane wealth and guilty pleasures, because to get to the point we are describing, one self-honestly rises above these mortal programs existing only to ensnare the body; worse yet are the convoluted forms of false enlightenment that work on the mind-of-body. As has already been stated about the ‘game-theory’ of systems, those practices are very much in place – elsewhere – and those systems that are worldly based allow for them – but they are not the subject of our current pursuits here.

Resorting to the ancient origins of the system, once the practitioner has been first appropriately ‘initiated’ into the “priesthood of the gods” (or his own respective superior deity), the second aspect of the position required being an ‘ambassador’ or ‘intermediary’ with the people; with the realm; with the material existence that had been systematized by the gods. This is why you see the ancient priests and priest-kings running the ‘church-and-state’ systems that are paramount to the origins of civilization. Make no mistake: this has not always been conducted self-honestly by any means, but it is the ‘why’. The manner in which this is executed today is what has been up for debate and why it is difficult for us to produce a text such as this – a tradition that has been greatly illustrated in our previous discourses and yet does not take on the form that most are used to dealing with in “New Age” texts and occult grimoires.

The Babylonian Anunnaki Tradition of the ancients was based in the restriction of access to the gods to a select few, and even then through the guise of its patron, Marduk. It could not really be considered ‘monotheism’ because the system required the existence of the other ‘gods’ still – otherwise, what would he be the ‘king’ of? You can’t be the ‘king of the gods’ without gods! So, the other gods started being religiously observed as ‘reflections’ and ‘powers’ of Marduk. The systematic efforts of the priesthood of Marduk, which was really led and named for his son, Nabu, later led to the establishment of a post-Sumerian, pro-Marduk, Anunnaki Star-Gate System called “Babilu” or “Babylon,” for which the tradition, city and even the surrounding nation (for a time) was known by. The ‘divine conspiracy’ being operated was to secure all the worldly power domains held by Anunnaki and redirect the attention and devotion of the people to Marduk specifically. This is important because all of the ancient systematic forms of magick, specifically those Egypto-Babylonian originating ones related to “gates” are, in actuality, based on the “Mardukite” system – built upon the Babylonian “Mardukite” Epic of Creation and a Babylonian “Mardukite” system of control over the “star-gates,” the ‘places’ where heaven and earth meet; where man and his god commune; where that which is finite touches that which is infinite.

Mardukite work is easily misunderstood, and we can already expect as much. People will also instinctively try to ‘fit’ it into some other preexisting mystical framework and the like – and evidence for such has already been noticed in the three years of public exposure thus far experienced as an organization. Folks forget that the Babylonian paradigm was actually the basis for the later “Semitic” and “Judeo-Christian” visions that are relatively more recent in human consciousness. You can’t just start working backwards now, and try to recapture the primordial ancient currents by some more modern fragmented system. That’s just not how it’s done – at least not self-honestly. Sure, the billions of pieces fit to make a whole – but what are the chances of you happening upon that combination? Even the most modern forms of ‘Satanism’ and ‘Left-handed-ism’ and ‘kabbalistic grimoires’ are all rooted in a post-Babylonian Judeo-Christian framework and this is undeniable. So, while these ‘would-be pagan magicians’ are acting blatantly as the anti-thesis of what they rebel against – in this case Christianity, or more specifically the Church – they are in all actuality feeding the very systems they despise with their participation. Of course, this is not a self-honest approach either; most obviously.

Significant reconstructive work has been conducted by many modern Mardukite revivalists, both known and anonymously, in order to bring together works that are both concise and complete; presenting the best available vision of the Babylonian Anunnaki Tradition that has been loosely alluded to in the guise of “Necronomicon” magick since the 1970′s. To do this effectively, an angle had to be sought – the motive or perspective – and to make it coherent to the legacy of the Mardukite Chamberlains and ‘awesome’ enough for me to sign my name to, the angle was quickly and easily decided: the very Priesthood of Nabu that formed, guided and led the socio-political and religious systems of ancient Babylonia.

What we are left with on a practical scale, excluding all of the supporting background that is contained within the ‘greater’ literary cycle, is the epitome of “Babylonian Magick” as observed by the Priest-Magicians and Priest-Kings of the period; a combination of the personal work toward self-honesty done internally, a harmonic relationship with the cosmos and finally, a means to relate the experience to the social worldly order of human populations. When one begins to ask what functional purpose such a paradigm could have for human evolution and existence today, I am reminded of some of the many beautiful words written by Nebuchadnezzar II concerning his own experience while in position as priest-king of Babylonia.

Since Marduk created me to be king
and Nabu has culled his people to my realm –
as the love I have for my own life
so do I feel toward the building and reign
of their cities.

A self-honest ‘pathway to the stars’ is paved with undefiled self-knowledge coupled with a true and faithful devotion to the ‘powers that be’. Basking in rays of the ‘golden life’, this radiance is projected outward in the world at large, making for a ‘better’ reality. As illustrated in my work, those who exercised their positions of Babylonian power in self-honesty – who maintained this peaceful loving union with the creative force, the created existence and the ‘beings’ created to inhabit it – they found themselves a fruitful reign in an abundant land with a population that was thankful for them over one less-fitting and tyrannical. Although the integrity of Babylonia could not be effectively maintained indefinitely by ‘humans’ against an outside world of more numerous ‘humans’ that were ruled by material greed and barbarian violence and generally a ‘lower’ standard of existence, the ‘true’ Babylonian vision, by nature, was to provide a ‘heaven on earth’, led by none other than the very Anunnaki god who had been exiled from any position in heaven and restricted solely to a reign on earth: Marduk.

For those who seek more than academics, there are three main aspects (or types) of “magick” or “ritual” that can be found within the Mardukite work. First and foremost is that work which will lead to self-honest knowledge and experience of the self and that which created the human condition on the planet – the Anunnaki. This is the true and faithful dedicated devotion that has been aforementioned as a prerequisite to this work in general. As such, one could classify this first form of “magick” as “prayer,” since it is based on the ‘transmission’ of intention for the sole purpose just described as a means of establishing the necessary relationship with the ‘spiritual’ forces that one is becoming an “ambassador” or “priest” for in the material world. Devotional systematic prayer-books (composed of clay tablets, of course) were also found in the private collections and even bedchambers of the most successful priest-kings in Babylonian history. When using the Babylonian Mardukite Anunnaki paradigm, this step is critical to any future measures of success. Although this part of the work is primarily “introspective” in nature and meant to prepare the individual, it can also be studied and developed in groups, orders and priesthoods (as it once was).

The second and perhaps most famously used ‘branch’ of the Babylonian “magickal” tradition is related directly to the human connection (or relationship) with the cosmos, and that is the Anunnaki Star-Gate System. This form of practice is also “introspective” to the point that it composes “private” practices of the “priesthood” in their work with the Anunnaki, and not the ‘public’ and later and more recognizable ‘folk magick’ of the common people, which was usually more ‘superstitious’ in nature, often employing religious talismans and amulets. The “ladder of lights,” as it is known from the human perspective, is not concerned with the accumulation of ‘additional fragmented energies’ or ‘layers of consciousness’, but rather the removal of these ‘artificial light filters’ by which the Anunnaki had influenced the parameters of awareness capable to humans in their experience of reality. As such, this more cosmic development of practice could be classified as a “Celestial” form of “Ceremonial Magick.” This is not necessarily the same, one-to-one, with the contemporary understanding of what is called “Ceremonial Magick,” however, the archetypal Mesopotamian practice of ‘high magick’ did evolve into the later Egyptian and European “Hermetic” practices as well as the Judeo-Christian forms of kabbalistic “Gnostic-Mysticism.”

The final demonstration of the art is most closely identifiable with what anthropologists would observe as ‘cultural magick’ and it was the only aspect of the tradition that allowed for public observation and participation. Compared to the previously described “religious” and “celestial” forms, this practice is highly qualified to earn the title low magick in many respects. It reflects everything we have come to expect from the cultural archetype of Babylon – the rites of national spirituality that further strengthened the ‘system’ and the people’s belief in it via annual festivals; the ritual gestures and idol statue use among commoners to accomplish fertility and healing effects (often with the assistance of priests, but not necessarily so); even the ‘personification’ or demonization of perceived ‘negativity’, or even ‘pestilence’ and ‘infertility’ as a means of ritually destroying evil in the land with ‘suggestive symbolism’ that later became the basis for a morally-defined demonology. All of this resulted in a representation of the human relationship with the earth in ‘everyday life’ and ‘material existence’ on the planet within the systems of human civilization.

In essence, just looking at these three aspects of the tradition described, one can even recognize the subsequent and cumulative fragmentation of the ‘systems’ as the relay of the energy evolved and developed outwardly among the human populations – and in essence, human consciousness. We begin with a self-honest life of unity with the ‘gods’ and a pious condition of ‘golden age’ living – ending with the use of waxen dolls to represent one’s enemy before a sacred fire and other forms of sympathetic magic used to affect worldly change at the most condensed end of the spectrum. An extremely calculated and concise examination of this end is all that will appear in the present volume so as not to distract the seeker away from the real intention of the work. With little surprise, it is the more colorful and sometimes even the most ridiculous of practices made popular by the commoner that the naïve contemporary anthropologist or archaeologist chooses to focus their attention on when seeking to discern the truth of ancient civilizations, which is in essence the truth of all humanity.

____________________________________________________________

The word “complete” is thrown around too loosely in the modern literary age. So many interpretations of the “Necronomicon” and the “Anunnaki Legacy” alluded to in works from those like Zecharia Sitchin and the Ancient Aliens mythos have already come forth into the New Age Movement. The last several years has also been blessed by the amazing contributions from the modern present-day Mardukite community, that has focused self-honestly on the identity and natures of the Anunnaki Sky Gods who appeared in ancient times and at the heart of all the global traditions on the planet. Having recently finalized the core literary cycle for the modern revival, referred to often as the Mardukite Cycle or Anunnaki Necronomicon Cycle, the efforts made can now be referred to as nothing short of complete!!!

A master compilation of mystical exploration into the heart of ancient mysteries, this presentation of the complete “Necronomicon Anunnaki Cycle” illuminates the revolutionary teachings and source materials of the Modern Sumerian-Babylonian-Anunnaki Tradition of the Mardukite Chamberlains (Ordo Nabu Maerdechai), edited by Joshua Free, the presiding Nabu of the organization since its inception.

The material in the NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI LEGACY EDITION is a highly innovative anthology of all seven-plus-one core volumes in a single incredible compilation! This work has been revolutionizing the modern occult and spiritual communities in unveiling the truth of such aspects as – Sumerian Anunnaki, Babylonian Religion, Mesopotamian Magick, Mystical Portals and Magical Gateways, Hermetic Occultism, Esoteric Druidism, “Simon” and Lovecraftian lore, and of course this contemporary idea of an Alien Illuminati.

This massive and beautiful 820-page oversized tome contains – Necronomicon (Liber N), Liturgy & Lore (Liber L or LL), Gatekeeper’s Grimoire (Liber G or GG), and Shadows (Liber 9); essentially the complete “Year 1″ cycle found in the “Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible” in addition to the complete “Year 2″ companions now available in the “Gates of the Necronomicon” anthology – Sumerian Religion (Liber 50), Babylonian Myth & Magic (Liber 51) and Necronomicon Revelations (Liber R). Included as an appendix to this deluxe edition is the complete text of “Druids of the Deep” (Liber D) – all seven-plus-one core volumes in a single incredible compilation!

Since 2009, a research and revivalist organization known as the Mardukites began releasing a series of underground manifests (called “libros“), an effort that has since exploded into a groundbreaking series of publicly available editions, found at mardukite.com. Returning to the original ‘nostalgic’ underground theme of the organization, the NecroGate is proud to offer an exclusive series of economical abridged compact ‘pocket’ editions of the core library archive in conjunction with createspace, spanning the works from 2008 through today, in a style reminiscent of the original Chamberlains releases!

AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY HERE — ONLY FROM THE NECROGATE !!!

Volume 1 – Necronomicon: The Babylonian Grimoire (Liber N,L,G,9 abridged)
Volume 2 – Gates of the Necronomicon: Advanced Babylonian Magick (Liber 50,51)
Volume 3 – Necronomicon: Hidden Keys – Aliens, Gods & Men (Liber R,D,S1/S2)

In this new millennium of uncertainties,
the uncovering of the past will reveal our future.
