Maqlû Tablets And The Necronomicon Options

Reading through the maqlû tablets I noticed some similarities to Nec spells. I will post the similarities here as I record and find them for all to review.




The Necronomicon

The Conjuration "XILQA XILQA BESA BESA" or "A Most Exellant Charm
Aginst the Hordes of Demons" etc.

Arise! Arise! Go far away! Go far away!
Be shamed! Be shamed! Flee! Flee!
Turn around, go, arise and go far away!
Your wickedness may rise to heaven like unto smoke!
Arise and leave my body!
From my body, depart in shame!
From my body flee!
Turn away from my body!
Go away from my body!
Do not return to my body!
Do not come near my body!
Do not approach my body!
Do not throng around my body!
Be commanded by Shammash the Mighty!
Be commanded by Enki, Lord of All!
Be commanded by Marduk, the Great Magician of the Gods!
Be commanded by the God of Fire, your Destroyer!
May you be held back from my body!

From the maqlû : In cantation Ten - Isâ Isâ (be off, be off”)

A circle of flour is laid down, and the speaker commands the ghosts and demons to de-part And adjures them never to return.

Translation of Incantation Ten by the Scholar Tzvi Abusch

[quote]Be off, be off, begone, begone,
Depart, Depart, flee, flee!
Go off, go away, be off, and begone!
May your Wickedness like smoke rise ever heavenward!

From my body begone!
From my body depart!
From my body flee!
From my body go off!
From my body go away!
To my body turn back not!

By the life of Šamaš, the honorable, be adjured!
By the life Ea, lord of the deep, be adjured!
By the life of Asalluhi, the magus of the gods, be adjured!
By the life of Girra, your executioner, be adjured!
From my body you shall indeed be separated!

From The Necronomicon


"The Conjuration of the Mountains of MASHU"

May the mountain overpower you!
May the mountain hold you back!
May the mountain conquer you!
May the mountain frighten you!
May the mountain shake you to the core!
May the mountain hold you in check!
May the mountain subject you!
May the mountain cover you!
May the mighty mountain fall on you!
May you be held back from my body!

The maqlû Incantation Nine: ŠadÛ liktumkumkunũši (may the mountain cover you)

A mountain stone is placed on the brazier containing the charred and sodden remains of the statues (made to represent witches in earlier rituals in the maqlû) . The speaker here expresses the wish that the mountain confine and pulverize the withes, whose separation from the living is herewith demanded.

ŠadÛ liktumkunǖši
ŠadÛ liklãkunǖši
ŠadÛ linīhkunǖši
ŠadÛ lihsikunǖši
ŠadÛ litēkunǖši
ŠadÛ linēkunǖši
ŠadÛ linērkunǖši
ŠadÛ liqattinkunǖši
ŠadÛ dannu elikunu limqut
ina zumriya lǖ tapparrasãma

Present in the ritual in the form of a mountain stone, the mountain signifies some form of the world of the dead (cf. kur and kur.gal) and may even be reminiscent of the cosmic Ekur. In any case, it here suggests a burial mound heaped on dead enemies in the open country, rocks piled over bodys or graves (for use of mounds in the burial of enemies).


Translation of Incantation Nine by the Scholar Tzvi Abusch

May the mountain cover you,
May the mountain hold you back,
May the mountain pacify you,
May the mountain hide you,
May the mountain enshroud you,
May the mountain turn you back,
May the mountain kill you,
May the mountain pulverize you,
May a strong mountain fall upon you.
From my body you shall indeed be separated!
