Necronomicon Anunnaki Revelations: A Pathway to the Stars
by James “Shammash” Thomas

In reflection of my own personal experiences with the Anunnaki, they are delightful and truly enlightening. They have taught me more about myself and the universe around me then I ever though possible. I’ve been shown my own existence (and the existence of everything else for that matter) in a whole new light. The ethereal realms that we believe to be so far away, are really right here, within this ancient tradition, as is possibly, all of humanities greatest ancient secrets. So why isn’t everyone looking into this tradition for the truth? I’d really love to know.

I started my work with the “Mardukite Chamberlains” in the summer of 2009. I was just about to turn seventeen and I had been involved with the “new age” for about five years prior – mainly druidism, nature magick and the Simon Necronomicon. I was searching for something new concerning the legendary book “Necronomicon” on eBay. And while I already had every “Necronomicon” under the sun, something was missing. I was looking for something new; something that had a new spin; a new way of looking at things. I found it.

I saw the Mardukite Necronomicon by Joshua Free. This instantly clicked with me in a moment for I had already owned a book by Mr. Free known as “Merlyns Magick.” As soon as I could I bought the book, and it opened up avenues of communications for me with the author, more books in that series as time went by, and a whole new way to live life and look at everything around me.

Through my personal experiences and enlightenment with the Anunnaki, I have come to view them as both teachers and friends; higher powers and those who are always there to lend a helping hand, and why not? Why should we not be able to view these things in such a way? To me this view gives me a greater connection to them. Still though, the Anunnaki deserve the highest amount of respect and it should always be given to them. They are not just there for us to dump our troubles, wants and needs on. While they will help us with those things, they are also there to teach and enlighten us. This isn’t just any old tradition thrown together and called religion.

There are those that view these beliefs as crazy or strange, and then there are those who fear it because of the amount of sense it makes and they don’t wish to see it, taking some away from what they have believed to be truth their whole lives. Some even view the Anunnaki as evil, flesh eating, blood thirsty aliens.

The Anunnaki have been there for me in ways that many others haven’t. So I have to whisk away these fanciful accusations of an “evil race of aliens.” Those who view them in a negative way, I feel sorry for. They will never know the joy and true enlightenment of working with this incredible beings.

This tradition marks what we as a race and living beings in general need to know and have needed to know for a long time. Maybe we’ve known all along and just needed to remember or maybe we lost it along the way and have just recently found it. The Anunnaki are there though, always and forever, waiting for you to discover them for yourself.

However you look at it, it’s clear that this is something much bigger then anyone could have anticipated. It’s your past, preset, and future. It’s you. In the words of Simon, “Good Hunting.”
