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.
QUOTE
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.
