The holy angel BANDAR.
Here I wish to tell of my experience with working with this great and noble spirit. Others experience may differ and vary from mine as will be explained herein.
Let’s first look at what is written by the mad Arab. Much is written to evidently warn of the secrecy and sacredness of the ritual. It is put with a touch of dread that would make the unworthy fear to conjure such a dark angel. Sometimes the grimores say the opposite of what is actually intended. A guard if you will of that sacred magick. That it should be hidden from those unworthy and unchaste. It is hard to dechiper what the mad arab is not telling us about the Bandar. Indeed he seems a bit tight lipped about the Bandar which is the very heart and life of the system. Having given us the formulae to call Bandar and warning us sternly of the dangers he tells us little else. Except "Take what I have written here and discover the rest" rings loudly in my ears!
The normal invocation of the watcher calls the watcher from the fires of hell. The watcher is much like the angel race called Sepiroth fierce angels who guard the demons in hell and who guarded the Arc of the covenant. They are not happy angels. They are war like and fierce. However; not of a bad nature. They are serious as they have a very serious task. They differ from the race of ministering angels such as Michael and Gabriel. These are warriors simular to the race of Azrael the holy angel of death. If you break the covenant and work magick against the will of ENKI the BANDAR will turn on you.
"Whom no man has seen at any time. Whom no wizard has ever called. I call thee here now." This invocation of calling is meant to call a unique spirit special for the wizard who is summoning it. If that man has an evil mind something more akin a demon might come. This spirit will demand blood but none should be given to it. It should be banished. <That is if you screw up and summon an un-holy Bandar which does not abide by the covenant sworn between the race of gods and men.>It is fascinating that this ancient system seems simular to that of the more modern Holy Guardian Angel system of modern times.
A time of purification before summoning the watcher for the first time is very important. The body must be pure. The mind must be pure. The heart must be pure. This ensures from the good mental and spiritual state of the sorcerer that a good and kindly watcher like the god that hath made me may stand at my head always <Exorcism of the crown of ANU> A good exorcism to say before calling the Fire God preliminary to summoning the watcher. The Angel called is in some way a reflection of its master the invoker.
The watcher is supposed to be banished after the maklu rituals or whatever reason you called the angel is complete. I however never banish mine. This was revealed to me by ENKI through the 7th name ASARULUDU which name greatly resembles ASHARILUDU son of ENKI. The great king of the watchers. Instead the agga mass must be preformed within the space of every three days whether it be night or day not of matter. However night is a good time to try to send the watcher on noble errands. Use it but don’t abuse it. Hopefully you have called a holy one and not an unholy one. If so it will be pleased to embark on any task which it might prove its self vigilant which is right in the eyes of MARDUK.
I have been calling BANDAR an angel and have regarded him as one for quite some time. However after hearing the master sage SIMON’S thoughts I have come to the realization that BANDAR although sharing many qualities of the Sepiroth the BANDAR is not an angel. The BANDAR belongs closer to the spirit class of the Jinn because like humans BANDAR has free will. SIMON says the Bandar perhaps belongs in a special classification of its own.
If you neglect your BANDAR it will turn on you. The Mad Arab warns us of this in the Necronomicon. The master sage SIMON tells us in the Necronomicon tapes that the BANDAR will turn on us if we neglect the sacrifice.
The master sage SIMON has warned me personally that the BANDAR will turn on me if I neglect the sacrifice. Therefore being warned sternly by the master sage let us not neglect our sacrifices unto BANDAR.
The proper way to summon your personal BANDAR I will now give. Pg 69 in which the chapter about the watcher begins looks like the sign of Cancer. Cancer is ruled by the moon. It would be wise to summon BANDAR for the first time on the full moon.
Purchase a new bowl which you will use for no other purpose other than to feed BANDAR. With a black fine tipped magick marker such as a sharpie fine point permanent marker write the sign of the arra agga and Bandar as given on page 69. Then write the conjuration of the Aga Mass Ssaratu on pg 71 on the bowl. It would also be wise to write the sign of the 7th name of marduk with his name and word of calling on the bowl. This will help ensure that a good and kindly watcher comes and not a maskim. ASARULUDU’S word of calling is BANMASKIM.
The sacrifice is to be of fresh bread pine resin and lentil. Personally I have never used lentil but am under the impression that inhaling a non toxic amount of the lentil fumes may help your mind in the way of sensing BANDAR’S presence much stronger. I use a different weed which happens to only be legal in the state of California. If you can not find lentil do not worry it is not absolutely necessary but it would be prudent to find it. You do not have to burn pine resin in the bowl. I burn a stick of pine and a stick of sandalwood, incense in place of the resin.
Please turn to pgs 112 – 113. It would be best to make these for use in ritual. However if you are a penniless conjurer, and can not afford to make these then do as follows. For the Crown of Anu stand in the mirror and draw the eight rayed star of ANU / Inanna on your forehead. Then draw the 3 signs on the frontlet of calling in the order given from your chest to your navel. This is for protection.
Before drawing the symbols on your body, take a shower or ritual bath. Before the bath recite the prayer on pg 205 through the first six lines of 206. This is similar to the Christian confession for forgiveness’ of sins. You have asked the gods to forgive you for anything against them you might have done with this prayer. After the shower recite the preliminary purification invocation of Inanna on pg 110. In the blanks say your name and then SON OF ENKI.
Now enter your circle or if you have cojones big enough work without one. Without the double circle you will have no protection from BANDAR. However he will take this as a sign of respect and will not turn on you unless you neglect the sacrifices or perhaps do things unlawful such as using the URILLA text. BANDAR will attack you if you break the covenant between you and ENKI. That is if you are the priest of ENKI. If you are Christian or perhaps of some other faith I would strongly recommend that you use the double circle. Only work without the circle if your soul already belongs to ENKI. For the BANDAR will not attack the priest of ENKI unless the priest neglects the lunar sacrifice <at least once every 28 days> or does something unlawful such as using the URILLA text pg 181.
Purchase some gelled chaffing fuel which is flammable jelly sold in small metal cans. Place the can of chafing fuel in the BANDARS bowl and the bread in the bowl so that it will burn when the jelly is ignited.
Take 3 palm full’s of salt and throw them into a separate bowl of salt water. Sprinkle the salt water 60 times about the circle each time you sprinkle say EA which is another name for my master ENKI. Now recite The exorcism of the crown of ANU pg 78. Next say the conjuration of the fire god. Pg 65. As you say KAK-KAM-MANU-NU light the chafing fuel with a match. Use a match and not a lighter as sulfur comes from the earth. Now blow your breath just a tiny bit into the flames without blowing the fire out. So that water, earth, fire and wind have all been respected.
Now recite the normal invocation of the watcher pg 72-73. Then recite the special conjuration of the watcher pg 71 and stab the sword into the ground at the appropriate time.
At this time you should definitely feel the presence of BANDAR. Try to communicate with BANDAR. Make sure that the bread is burned well. BANDAR is usually summoned to perform rites from the MAKLU text pg 76 or when it is desired to enter the gates. BANDAR is banished with the formulae given on pg 73 the license to depart.
Concerning BANDAR’s sword. There are many ceremonial swords which are useful only as wall hangings. A real sword has a full tang a piece of metal which extends into the hilt so that when you strike the sword does not break. Steel is fine but if you know a smithy a sword of made of Iron may have magickal properties of its own better than a mixed metal like steel. Of course a machete is a cheap alternative and works perhaps just as well. Buy an engraving gun and inscribe on it the agga the arra and the Bandar. Also the seal of, Ganzir pg 11 and on the reverse the 3 signs from the frontlet of calling, the eight rayed star of Inanna, and horned moon. A good time to make the sword is on a full moon which is the night of walking but check the positions of the planets <use astrology> and try to pick a favorable time or at least a time when no planets are retrograde. Mars retrograde would be a bad time. Mars on your ascendant would be a good time. Even a lunar eclipse <which happens on full moon> might be an excellent time. I was born on the lunar eclipse of June 4th 1974 with Neptune conjunct moon. Neptune is the planet of ENKI and is the ninth gate. As the prophets such as Jesus, Buddha and Mohammad were born on lunar eclipses you might say that I am the prophet of ENKI.
Now I will give the formulae to work with BANDAR in a higher way than given in the book. Let us note that this is also a much more dangerous way. You should only try this if you are a priest of ENKI. Meaning that your mind heart and soul belong to my master EA. Instead of banishing the BANDAR you can keep him in this plane of existence where he will grow stronger. You will need to keep a candle burning for him 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The best kind of candle to use is a saint candle which is often used when someone dies or someone is in a time of need. BANDAR likes saint candles. With a black marker write the 3 signs pg 69. Then write a prayer for BANDAR on the candle. Example “BANDAR my holy guardian angel grow strong in this world that you may protect me and do whatever is good in the eyes of our master ENKI.
You must always keep a candle burning for BANDAR on his altar. You should have a special altar for BANDAR if you are working with him without banishing. Every day you must place fresh bread in his bowl. You will notice that the bread may become rock hard in only the space of one day. Every day you must burn pine and sandalwood incense for BANDAR. Within the space of every 3 days you must perform the Aga Mass Ssaratu. If BANDAR is hungry before then he will let you know by tapping on walls doors and windows. He will also try to communicate with you in this fashion. With all lights off with the exception of his candle you might see strange shapes appear in the shadows behind the candle such as a warrior with a helmet. If you want BANDAR to follow you or in the event you need to summon him for help say BANDAR COME and he will either appear hovering in the air over your back or appear as a dog walking behind you. This will only work if BANDAR is already in the physical world. Otherwise if you need his help you must summon him with the special conjuration pg 71.
Special thanks to the un-official High Priest of the Necronomicon Simon. Who helped me better understand the Holy Bandar.
In the words of Simon.
Good Hunting!
