Typhonian Tradition, Draconian Cults, Sumerians & The Necronomicon

[nabu]

“Our work is therefore historically authentic; the rediscovery of the Sumerian tradition, says Crowley. This forms the crux of Crowley’s system, without which it is both incomprehensible and unfathomable; incomprehensible in its magical significance for the present magical revival, and unfathomable without the key supplied by the Sumerian tradition. . .”
~ Kenneth Grant, ‘Magical Revival’

An excerpt from Mardukite Liber-C, available as "Beyond the Ishtar Gate" also released as "Necronomicon Spellbook III" or in the E-M-C anthology "Mesopotamian Magic" also released as "Necronomicon Workbook" edited by Joshua Free.

In the 2009 release of Liber-9, the Tablet-Q series of materials (available within the Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible) were described as the “Book of Qlippoth & The Other Side”, though we were able to do little more than ‘glean’ a realization of the “Other” at that time.

Keep in mind that the original function and purpose of the Babili System proper is the ‘ladder of lights’ on this side of existence. However, one could not help but to stop and notice the ‘pathway’ or ‘threshold’ that exists “beyond the Ishtar Gate, near the place of Marduk” that allegedly leads to the “Other” – that which is behind the fragmented existence of visible lights – that which correlate to the Seven.

Those like Kenneth Grant; the contemporaries of the modern occult (magickal) revival; are generally of the ‘kabbalistic’ mind-set, meaning that their view of the mysteries is usually based on the Hebrew or Semitic vision of the ‘kabbalah’, which has the same roots by way of the Assyrians that the ‘gate-system’ provided for Babylon proper. While not necessarily incorrect in ‘form’, the language and our interpretation of the mysteries therefrom, is generally from a Judeo-Christian perspective, even if it be a ‘gnostic’ one. The organizations such as the O.T.O., A.A., Thelemic followers of Aleister Crowley and even the Golden Dawn all fall under this category because they have used ‘kabbalistic’ interpretations of the same ancient renderings and tablets that are now available in their ‘rawest’ and most original form (for example, the Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible).

“Modern esoteric kabbalists and initiates of sacred orders, such as Kenneth Grant (who for a time led the O.T.O. – Ordo Templi Orientis – in the wake of Aleister Crowley), commonly refer to this advanced facet of mystical pursuit as the ‘other side of the tree’ or ‘nightside’, returning our attention again to the time in our realm where such ‘separations’ or veils seem thinner or altogether nonexistent; at night or when the stars are visible. Practitioners and modern magicians generally agree that the kabbalistic sphere of the “Tree of Life” that links to the “Tree of Darkness” (or Kingdoms of Shadow) is the ‘eleventh’ and unseen sephiroth of the Kabbalah known as Daath. This secondary or ‘nightside’ of the tree is the Underworld or ‘Other’ that leads to the Abyss. It is believed by Kenneth Grant and others that the Anunnaki region and the Egyptian DU.AT or TU.AT are essentially identical for all purposes.” (quoting Liber-C)

In the Babili Texts (Tablet-B Series) from the Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible, the seeker can clearly see that the gate-systems of both ‘above’ and ‘below’, from both Babylonian and Egyptian perspective, are centered on seven. This means seven gates of ‘light’ for ascension into the ‘Other’ that composes the heavens (e.g. the Tower of Babel) and there are seven gates of ‘darkness’ for descent into the ‘Underworld’. The traditional lore surrounding the ‘Descent of Inanna-Ishtar’ also gives a description of ‘seven gates’ below and the guardians or keepers of those ‘portals’. Names and passwords for these veils are given in both Mesopotamian and Egyptian forms (languages), but are essentially the same in context.
