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.

isâ isâ rëqã rëqã
bëšã bëšã hilqã hilqã
duppirã atlakã isâ u rëqã

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!

[quote]From my body be off!
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!
To my body approach not!
To my body near not!
On my body abut 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!

Thank you, thank you.
I dont want to intone something I really dont understand, and I have been worried due to the constant putdowns the Simon necronomicon has as a fake, and also if real, the fact that is a copy from sumerian gliphs to greek to letters english letters. Plenty of chances for words to get mangled.

It appears I was wrong in my above post. The PSD dictionary lists 'si' as 'remember' (an no other word) but I think I got it wrong.

The book 'A sumerian reading book' by C.J. Gadd (1924) has the following ending of a prayer (reading XXIII page 157):

zi an-na her-pad zi ki-a her-pad
In the name of Heaven, be it conjured! In the name of earth be conjured!

Where the 'zi' sign is different from the 'si' sign I thought of earlier (and also they skip the dingir, but thats no problem). Maybe Zi is some sort of gramatical contruction (BE it ..?), her-pad is 'conjured', and that leaves Kanpa as a possible 'remember'. I'm still trying to track it down. I think I'll go ahead an buy more books on the subject (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

So, now I got all the cuneiform signs for it except KANPA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I looked at the links provided and the correlation of sumerian to Tamil language is very interesting. Also the same phrase shows up in one of their citations..60 zi an-na he-e-pa zi ki-a he-e-pa ( Be you adjured by heaven, be you adjured by earth) in sum-incan-2.html I'll try to track donw the original source and original cuneiform.

The search for Kanpa, and the rest of the encantations, specially Gibils since I am staring to entone it often continues. I'll repot on any progress.

Question:
1) How do I upload jpegs or images or imbedem in the post? I would like to upload the cuneiform of the incantation and probalby the names of gods I come accross. (If I hit reply I dont see any button or way to add an attachment)

2) Does any one know of a sumerologist (professor or student) I could correspond by email and ask questions?) (form example could 'her' really be pronouced as Kan and then we would have Kan-pad or kan-pa?)

Thanks,

Traveller.
