Getting Started WIth Necronomicon, Question and Answers / Ask here Options

Does the paradigm revealed through the Necronomicon offer one a "path" for a practitioner to walk that is akin to pursuring The Great Work?

If so:

What is it?
What is happens to a practitioner while engaging it?
What is the results from a practitioner completing it?


I ask that question (and the collaries) because I suspect that more exists with regard to dealing with the various Powers referenced in that book - beyond merely calling up Elder Gods and other sundry entities for the sake of satisfying mundane desires.

ROFL. Every post made here has signified much truth, there is really no room to debate LOL. Evokation is indeed a process by which one advances the microcosm and uses evokation to further unify the micro and macro...but one must remember that even the most advanced magickians, from time to time, evoke an entity with the sole purpose of telling it to do something. I would also like to comment on the above mentioned "the gods are forgetful". The Sumerian Gods value stregnth and WIll above all else. If one were to evoke the most benevolent entity from the Necronomicon and get scared sh*tless over it, calling upon Anu wont do much good. If the magickian, on the other hand, is confronted by an agent of chaos and calls upon Anu to help him fight his foe....the prayer would surely be answered. SkinWalkers correlation of the Magickain and God is correct, but must be fit in the proper context. The magickian is only God if he or she realizes that. That realization comes from iniatory work and contemplation on ones higher self.

As usual Ashnook has spoken wisely.

I understand what is being said about the banishings referencing the introduction to the book. Having chosen Enki as my master I only use the banishings in the book itself. The only really important thing about a banishing is that you believe it works. So for a christian perhaps reading some psalms or for a ceremonial magician perhaps the lesser banishing ritual.

If you have abandoned your previous notions to god and embraced the Necronomican and embraced its gods then keep it simple and stick with the text. There are many wonderful exorcisms and nice prayers in the book. I will list some here.

In The Testimony of the Mad Arab part two their is a very beautiful prayer. Pg 205 in its entirety and the first six lines of page 206. It calls the 7 planetary gods for assistance and almost seems to be a confession of sin to right things with the gods. After all before we ask the gods for assistance it is only right that we ask for their forgiveness of errs. This is a powerful prayer. Use it!

The preliminary purification invocation of Ishtar / Inanna on page 110 goes along with this sense of purification. If we are pure spiritually and mentally before magick working we are less likely to get into a tight spot where we need to start banishing unwanted spirits. After all it is our vibration rate which attracts them and the power of our ritual.

The exorcism on page 99 is to be used at the place of calling. It is short and sweet and just as effective in any situation to cleanse your home. SImular to the aga mass ssaratu we burn bread while saying this. <Note that the Maklu text in its entirety is to be said over the aga mass ssaratu as the bread burns.>

However as far as protecting and exorcising your home none can be as powerful as The exorcism of the crown of Anu. pg 78-79 This exorcism is written with passion and to be said with passion. NO EVIL IN THE WORLD OR UNDER IT OVER THE WORLD OR INSIDE THE WORLD MAY SEIZE ME HERE! This is written beautifully like the prayer on 205 sounds like a poem.

pg 80 The exorcism Barra Edinnazu for spirits who attack the circle. A very powerful way to send a demon to the desert.

The exorcism Zi DIngir pg 81 Not exactly my favorite as it takes careful concentration to say correctly. Although much can be said for careful concentration in ritual.

pg 86-87 The exorcism against the possesing spirit. This may be intended to cast a demon or sickness out of a person but lets not over look it as a powerful exorcism as well. There is just something about ordering demons to sieze one another and eat each others bones that is in harmony with me.

If trying to exorcise a demon or sickness from someone use pg 88 The exorcism Annakia as well.

pg 91 A most excellent charm against the hordes of demons that assail in the night. First read this in english from the preface so you understand what you are saying then recite in Sumerian. Depart from my body in shame! From my body flee! Once again a work of beauty.

The Necronomicon is slap full of banishings. Of course you have to believe they will work before they are effective.
I speak only for myself and all should do as in their mind they think is right. As for me the day when I can not find an effective banishing in the Necronomicon might be the day I need to go get glasses!

So BE IT !
