In Babylonian Myth & Magic (Liber 51), Joshua Free reflects on the core archaeological, anthropological and mystical points of Babylonian Myth & Magic in history and practice. Unparalleled in displaying the post-Sumerian mystery tradition of the ancient Babylonians, Babylonian Myth & Magic now accessibly comprehensible to any seeker for the first time in modern history!Babylonian Legacy:
Sumerian Dragon Kingship &
The Divine Right to Rule
(from Liber 51 by Joshua Free)
“An examination of the Sumerian and Babylonian King-Lists will reveal the belief that “kingship” was “sent down” from “heaven” as decreed by the gods. To this we might add that a similar tradition has been followed by many indigenous ancient cultures. These dynastic lists originate by Sumerian hands, but they were later re-catalogued in Babylon by Nabu Priest-Scribes starting in the third millennium B.C. Similar King-Lists have also been found in Egypt and they all suggest some very amazing notions for the contemporary mind to grasp.” (from Babylonian Myth & Magic)
NOTES:
* L.A. Waddell (in Egyptian Civilization: Its Sumerian Origins) suggests the same King-Lists appear in India.
* The oldest Sumerian King-List example found is the Weld-Blundell Prism tablet.
* The final Babylonian reconstruction and addendum was provided by Berossus (c. 3rd century B.C.)
* The King-Lists are known in Egypt as the Dynastic Chronicles as catalogued by Manetho (c. 3rd century B.C.)
(The materials in Liber 51 can also be found in the Year-2 Mardukite anthology “Gates of the Necronomicon“)“The chronology of the King-Lists are separated by a critical event, one which is found within the cosmological records of all ancient cultures – the Deluge or Great Flood. This means that Sumerian civilization began in antediluvian times, prior to the Deluge. This controversial event consisted of both torrential storms and the rise of ground floor water in connection to the melting glaciers and ice at the end of the Pleistocene period. The King-Lists appear congruent with this time scale also, but the shifting sands of Mesopotamia provide few clues for us since the ancient sites were often dismantled or found in ruins and later built over by cultural successors. What this signifies is that the pre-Babylonian, pre-Sumerian Ubaid periods are not the true absolute origins for “prehistoric” civilization, but instead the origins for the efforts that were resumed after the earth was stable for societal habitation again, following the last Ice Age.” (Liber 51)
NOTES:
* Archeologists measure the Ubaid period based on the artistic styling used in pottery beginning 6,500 – 5,500 B.C.
* Archeologists can successfully confirm the identities of the King-Lists dating back until c. 3200 B.C., but the records themselves continue into the past for another 420,000+ years. By comparison, the Semitic belief is that the world as a whole was created in c. 4004 B.C., which would necessarily and incorrectly place the Deluge and all other mythic events much more recent.
“The origins of the word “ruler,” “regent” and “realm” all reflect the absolute “god-like” nature of the original king, especially after the unification of the two lands of Babylonia, where one man – one lugal – was elevated to the position of a blessed and lofty demigod. More than simply a title of power, this role required the person to be an active intermediary between the people and the gods and thus acted as a kind of priest-king. What’s more, the interconnectedness of the “realm” was inseparable from this king. The king and his land are one. The king and his people are one. The fate of one proved to reflect the other throughout history many times over and the people couldn’t deny it – a good and just king resulted in expansion and fruitful land, whereas the rule of unjust ungodly tyrants weakened the integrity of the Babylonian Empire every time.” (Liber 51)
“Properly guided kings realized they were essentially Divine Representation on earth and with this came great responsibility. In fact, the freedoms, responsibilities and penalties of the population all rose relative with class – quite different even, than what we see often today. The ‘true’ kings understood that they existed for the people, representatives of the gods on earth, exercising the same divine power that had been executed by the gods themselves in the cultivation of humanity. The descent of kingship come from the gods of heaven themselves, but is carried in the hearts of men – passing on genetic memory in the form of ‘divine blood’ installing the system known as jure divino – the episcopal law upheld by one ‘anointed’ by God.” (Liber 51)Learn more about: Merlyn’s School of Magick & Wizardry.

“It might be more appropriate to instead delve into the natures of the source-traditions that we now can explore more avidly then during Lovecraft’s life, nearly one-hundred years ago. The terminology he provided was important for his time and remains so for posterity today, though there are more practical and historical avenues to pursue for seekers. Other writers who were influenced by Lovecraft use this shared paradigm, which was not actually called the “Cthulhu mythos” during his lifetime. This idea came later and included contributions from August Derleth, Robert E. Howard (creator of “Conan: The Barbarian”), Robert Block and T.E.D. Klein (better known for “The Ceremonies”).”
