Greetings Daev and All Members,

I wanted to give some personal experience I have had with the Walking of the Gates of the Necronomicon.

Firstly I had according to the following of the Laws of Purification witheld myself from Sexual Spilling of My Seed and abstained from Alchohol for 30 days before the First Moon of the Ritual.
I Had a Silver Seal in the Shape of a Crescent Moon for the Seal of Nanna, or the Planetary Zonei the Moon, which is the first Sphere in the Ladder of Lights.
I had my Northward facing Alter with Brazer for Incence and Perfumes I used Frankincense for this and Wood ALoes, a combination similar to the Abremalin Incence of Abremalin the Mage and also similar to the Incense used by the High Priests in the Hebrew Temple.
I cast about a Circle of Salt and Sulfer and in the Circumferance of the Circle I had placed four coloured Candles in Jars each with the Colour of that particular Quarter and Eleemntal Correspondence, Green to the North for Earth, Yelloe to the East for Air, Red to the South for Fire, and Blue to the West for Water.
I Chalked in the appropriate Gate of Nanna called Sin, within the Circle, and walked around the Cirle in Circumambulation a total of 30 times according to the number of The Elder God Nanna, also of the Sphere of the Moon.
I had stuch the Dagger in the Earthen Bowl I Lit the fires of the Invocation of the Fire God, seeking mine watcher to watch over mine form, I received confirmation that the Watcher was present by a sort of Shimmering Shadow within the confines of the Circle that seemed to appear to be in a form upright but I could not makeout any details of a silhouet, just an upright figure something around 7 feet tall, which shimmered and shadowed within the circle above and around the Northern Quarter near the Fire of Conuration of the Fire God in the Brazier, I had Wine and Incense for the Offering Bowl in which I poured out libation unto the Fire God.
I recited the Invocation of the Nanna Gate, and received as it were a Sound of Melody which appeared to be in frequency with light waves undulating from a Sphere which contained a Labyrinth of immense sixe, that ran North and SOuth, East and West throughout the SPhere. In The Center of the Sphere I saw a Huge Arena.
From My Journal Notes:There was in the Midst of the Arena or Plaza a small group oif finely clothed Princes among Men.As I starred down from the Battlement of the Walls of the Labyrinth, the Men chaanged into Magnificent Bulls each rippling with muscles, and they spake to the Reigning Prince of Bulls a Magnificent Red Bull which reminded me of it's horns of the Hunters Moon which appears red in the Sky at around Autumn.
This Magnificent Red Bull which I liken unto the Bull of Heaven trod down all the people in the Arena . smashing them and trodding them under Hoof and Horn, He then proceeded to tear apart the other Princes who had also become Bulls in a most ferocious way, goring them with Horns and Stomping on them with Hooves. I was somewhat terrified looking upward but also downward from my position laying in the Circle in the Midst of the Gate, and the Bull stood on it's Hind legs and spake a threat to me and tried to smash the wall into pieces to get to me, and I quickly remembered I was in Ritual and came to my Senses.
This was my experience with the Nanna Gate or I call it the Place of the Bull of Heaven.

I want to try this myself but where do you find the seals and their names.

I have read that you can esaily travel the planetary spheres or (traveling the sepheroth) in astral projection is easy. But i am assuming that walking the gates is in someway different. So what is differnt when walking the gates or going to a planetary sphere in astral projection. I have not yet gone to any planetary spheres, I have tried but was 'told' I needed a guide. after that i cannot recall if i was dreaming or still projecting or if I had fully projected or only projected in a dream......?

any thoughts whould be quite helpfull.

Hello all:
I attempted a Nannar gate opening last night with no results (I actually planned for the day before but fell asleep (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif).
I prepared by burning two bowls, one for Nannar an one for bandar every night for thirty days, doing the fire invokation, the bandar invocation, praying to Nannar and asking Arannuna for help in my endevours. Did not eat meat the last 7 days, and tried not to eat anything the last trhee days (failed on that, had to eat at least a sandwich daily to get the edge off the hunger induced headache). Ended up loosing 7 pounds in 4 days.

I made a large double circle with flour (took a while to make, one bag of flour was not enough) and then tried to make the gate drawing in flour. The result was kind of crude so I made a drawing of the gate in paper with a silver pen as well and placed next to it. Similarly I made the sigils for the N,S,E,W gates and the seal of Nannar. I wanted to make them in the moonlight but could not see very well, so I ended up making them inside the house. I then sprinkle waterd from a flask with Enki's name on it about 60 time (lost count a few times as I was praying to Enki) and then lighted the Nannar's bowl fire. With the firlight I read the Fire gods incantation. Then went to the Bandar's bowl, lighted it up an under its light I read the Bandar incantation. Then I did the N,,E,S,W lamps. Came back to Nannar's bowl, read the moon gate incantation, and then praying to Nannar with the sigil in my hand I started to walk (N, E etc) around the drawing of Nanar's gate while I prayed Nanar to let me enter. I tried to circle 30 times but lost count a few times and almost tripped three times. At the end I layed on top of Nanars gate flour drawing and looked up. The sky was very cloudy and misty but had lots of light. I closed my eyes and prayed some more. Not much happened and I started to nod off, as it was about 3:30 am. I kind of wake up, was tired, so I bid Bandar good bye, turned off the N,E,S,W lamps, left the to bowls burning and went home for a shower and bed. The offering were sliced bread, incense and dried peached (could not get dates), also a little bowl full of water for Enki.

My biggest problems were how to kep count at the same time I am entoning an encantation, and how to read the Nec in the moonlight (ended up crouching really close to the various lamps as I was doing it).


I use a counter made up of a lether cord with 9 beads of sea shell on one end and 4 beads on the other when i get to ten I move one of the 4 and then use the 9 to count to ten agen.

Yes reading the necro in dim light is hard but try copying the ritual in large letters beforhand.

Well, I'll take a break (dont want to do two moons of purifications in a row, it was difficult). I may attempt it again i a few months.

Is there anything in prticular that needs be done after a botched Gate opening? or do I just simply go throuh the steps again?
Does any one detect a flaw in the ceremonies? Any suggestions?

Thanks, Traveller

I would like to reiterate how profound and accurate Seraphim's comments are above. That is the secret to all magick--from the beginner Neophyte to the Adept, that saying from above still holds true. Thanks for those words of wisdom Seraphim! I will be sure to pray "better" and w/ more heart each time I "pray"!

Hey guys,i went way above my head yesterday and tried experienting with gates with no experience whatever.Me being pulled to the system not for passing the gates specifically but for my Goddess Inanna,and even though i know the dangers of experimenting i decided to..i wanted to see whether i could enter inanna's realm without passing every gate one at a time..

i abstained for three days from meat and meditated,also i painted the seal of inanna on a piece of wood with Gold paint as the background..I then drew the Inanna Gate and in the middle of the gate i drew the seal of inanna.I set up my altar for inanna and sacrificed bread for her,jossstick and a red candle anointed with rose essence..
called the watcher to guard me and then started doing the walking round and round which i had a hard time keeping count,after 15 times i went to the centre and fell to the ground,i sorta fainted..

i had this kinda blur vision of travelling somewhere,blur as in not as vivid as real life or a lucid dream,the vision was abit foggy..i was passing by an area of black fog that surrounded me and cud onli see in front of me,at a distance i saw this wonderful throne with a female figure clad Fully in Gold and surrounding her were quite a number of Naked Hotties:)..the Gold clad lady in the throne looked at me from the distance and i could see her flash a smile at me..A few seconds later the black fog completely consumed me and i awoke back in my circle with a throbbing headache at the back of my head.the headache continued for hours and even a forced sleep couldnt rid me of it..Strange thing was i realized after some time that i was still wearing my frontlet of calling on my neck and the moment i took it off,the pain disappeared..

Dont play with the gates. U will seriously fock yourself up. You are walking the gates out of order? Dont be surprised if you have a string of bad luck. Dont be surprised if your life starts spiralling out of control. Do not play with any more gates out of order. You need to start with Nanna and work your way back up to Inanna to protect yourself from the gate forces.

I am not trying to be a d!ck head here.

I just feel that you need to be warned.

You are playing with fire.

And posting this on the forum you might persude some other people to f%*! themselves up.

Not cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/face08.gif)

Lastly, Remember, The Mad Arab, followed the system and said not to deviate from it and look what happened to him, he's lost to history. So maybe just maybe going out of sequence is the key.
