Sumerian Anunnaki, Cuneiform Tablets & Babylonian Magick
with Joshua Free
PART VII
(29:30)Joshua Free (continued): It is interesting to interpret things now in terms of ‘monotheism’, because even in Babylon when that was attempted it was not truly ‘monotheism’. One of the younger generation of Anunnaki [Marduk], it was his time to rule – because this was all cyclical with them, based on what we would call the ‘zodiacal ages’ – but the time of Aries came and it was his time to rule. All of the politics and drama involved with the Anunnaki kept this from happening.
In spite of them, and our recollection of them as ‘gods’, they in themselves, the tablets report, that they had feuds among themselves regarding how things should be; decisions on how to deal with humanity and so forth. So, in the case of Babylon, you have the home of the first writing system. Marduk, who is the son of Enki, who is the son of Anu, and in most conventional Sumerian religion, Enki’s brother Enlil basically viewed as supreme by the Enlilites. It is the sons and daughters of Enlil that are given all of the attention.
(31:00)Sumerian specific – pre-Babylonian tablets – have no mention of Marduk, who is given so much attention later on. This changes in Babylonian times when Marduk brings light to Enki and the magick and scientific knowledge – because that is what Enki represented. Whereas Enlil was more about ‘order’, the function of government or universal systems and the original hierarchies and so forth.
Royce Holleman: Sorry to interrupt you.
Joshua: Yeah?
Royce: I thought I would mention we have a question from the chat-room.
Joshua: Okay.
Royce: I thought I would also take the opportunity to let everyone know that your website address is www dot necrogate dot com (forward slash wp forward slash). He’s also got twenty or thirty books available, many of which we have scrolling on our page. But, moving onto the question in the chat-room: James was asking, because he was curious, about what your ‘religion’ or ‘spirituality’ is. Since you seem to be so well versed in so many, he was curious if it could be narrowed down to anything in particular.
(32:30)Joshua: Ah… That’s… That would be… That is a difficult question to actually answer. Unfortunately, being so well versed, and like you’ve described, it has required me taking a step back or out of adhering to a specific faction or sect.
As I said, I was raised Catholic, and it’s not that I would stay I am still Catholic, but I guess I’ve tried to remain outside of a specific paradigm of things. As I mentioned, I went from that to being initiated into Druidism. But, even saying that, it doesn’t mean I adopted this specific cultural Celtic paradigm of interpreting the world. What it did for me is, I guess, what a lot of people call ‘Gnosticism’? And what it did was open the doors to understanding ‘true knowledge’ and a higher wisdom directly rather than looking to an empirical source.
The organization that I run is called the Mardukites. That is tied into Babylon and the literary tradition that started there. But, even in saying that, to call Mardukites a religion or to say its my religion – well, it’s easy to do because it seems to fit that description or that way of understanding the world of religion, but it’s not necessarily based on, for example, a religious devotion toward Marduk. . .

And so everyone of
that city or part of the tradition would
angle more of their prayers and attention
and their focus, which way they stood
when they prayed and such, toward that.
And there you have the inception of
religion.
Just like ‘language’, which also, language
and writing really originated in Mesopotamia
– that can affect people as well,
interpreting the world through a specific
set of eyes in language or culture.
This is something that changes dramatically,
when we move away from a civilization
or culture that is dependent on
‘picture-writing’. Yes, they are putting
something down, but it is not a literary
tradition. An eagle is basically represented
by a picture of an eagle and so forth. It
is when it changes into language and
writing, all of the words take on meaning
and context for them to apply as a
language – for a person to use it and
another person to actually receive it and
comprehend its meaning and have it be
the same.
(16:30)
Over time, given the expansion of the population, it has bloomed like a tree. So, now you have all of these branches with the elements but its much easier and coherent to go back to the beginning and rather than look at it through a certain set of eyes, for example being from a Celtic tradition or being indoctrinated into a specific branch of Christianity – rather than look at it through those eyes, with those glasses on, or try to work itself backwards, which is a rigorous task at best; it’s much easier to go back to the beginning and remove all the filters and blocks that we have to receiving that knowledge in what I call “self-honestly” and then if necessary, be able to take a look through time and see how it reflects, rather than try to piece together all these miniscule connections and pieces of the puzzle. I think that’s already been done and this fragmented message is what we have operated under for so long and if any-thing we have reached the limitations of that.
