Good Time?, New Moon Tonight. Options

Hi Smasher666, Ashnook, and fellow Simonocomologists (damn long name (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

Tonight is the night of the new moon. I read somewhere that its best to cast spells or utilize the Nec. around 3AM any given night. Will I have better results during a new moon rather than a full moon? I only ask because I believe I read in most magical systems that the dark moon (totally waxed) was a time for negative magic effects. So If I were to use the Urilla text, now would be the time. But since I'm actually going to use the 50 names will they be more or less effective tonight?

Yes tonight is the new moon. Although U could probably count the 23rd too because it will be as waxed on its right side as it is on its left side right now which is not very much. Sometime tonight will be the exact new moon. Ashnook says that the Navy says the new moon is at 7:10 pm on the 23rd. However under the spirit of the Sumerians the day before and day after can also be counted as the new or Full moon.

The new moon is a great time to call the scorpion man. He teaches about the gates. But be warned if the scorpion woman comes she must be banished. Her kiss is the kiss of death. Her embrace is the embrace of death. It takes some intenstinal fortitude to call the Scorpion Man for the first time. He often comes on the sound of thunder.

To call him U must wait until 3:00 am.
Sit in completely black room. No light. Cover the windows. Cover the doors. Turn out all lights. Not even a clock light should be on.
Stand and draw the sign of the Scorpion with your left hand in the air. Pg 209
Say Akrabu! <ahk-rah-boo!> 9 times.

Akrabu!
Akrabu!
Akrabu!
Akrabu!
Akrabu!
Akrabu!
Akrabu!
Akrabu!
Akrabu!

The Scorpion man will come. The Scorpion woman has never appeared to me. I only speak of her to reiterate the Mad Arabs warning.

Ask the Scorpion man in the name of Enki and Marduk masters of magick to help you with the gates and to protect you from the dark forces.

Then light a candle or perform the Aga Mass Ssaratu for the Scorpion. Just burn the bread or light a candle with his sigil on it. Burn some incense.

The new moon is an excellent time to work magick. The new moon is for beginnings. The Full moon is for Gate Walking.

Good Hunting!
