Walking Gates of The Necronomicon, Gate Experiances and Questions / Ask Here Options

Greetings Daev and All Members,

I wanted to give some personal experience I have had with the Walking of the Gates of the Necronomicon.

Firstly I had according to the following of the Laws of Purification witheld myself from Sexual Spilling of My Seed and abstained from Alchohol for 30 days before the First Moon of the Ritual.
I Had a Silver Seal in the Shape of a Crescent Moon for the Seal of Nanna, or the Planetary Zonei the Moon, which is the first Sphere in the Ladder of Lights.
I had my Northward facing Alter with Brazer for Incence and Perfumes I used Frankincense for this and Wood ALoes, a combination similar to the Abremalin Incence of Abremalin the Mage and also similar to the Incense used by the High Priests in the Hebrew Temple.
I cast about a Circle of Salt and Sulfer and in the Circumferance of the Circle I had placed four coloured Candles in Jars each with the Colour of that particular Quarter and Eleemntal Correspondence, Green to the North for Earth, Yelloe to the East for Air, Red to the South for Fire, and Blue to the West for Water.
I Chalked in the appropriate Gate of Nanna called Sin, within the Circle, and walked around the Cirle in Circumambulation a total of 30 times according to the number of The Elder God Nanna, also of the Sphere of the Moon.
I had stuch the Dagger in the Earthen Bowl I Lit the fires of the Invocation of the Fire God, seeking mine watcher to watch over mine form, I received confirmation that the Watcher was present by a sort of Shimmering Shadow within the confines of the Circle that seemed to appear to be in a form upright but I could not makeout any details of a silhouet, just an upright figure something around 7 feet tall, which shimmered and shadowed within the circle above and around the Northern Quarter near the Fire of Conuration of the Fire God in the Brazier, I had Wine and Incense for the Offering Bowl in which I poured out libation unto the Fire God.
I recited the Invocation of the Nanna Gate, and received as it were a Sound of Melody which appeared to be in frequency with light waves undulating from a Sphere which contained a Labyrinth of immense sixe, that ran North and SOuth, East and West throughout the SPhere. In The Center of the Sphere I saw a Huge Arena.
From My Journal Notes:There was in the Midst of the Arena or Plaza a small group oif finely clothed Princes among Men.As I starred down from the Battlement of the Walls of the Labyrinth, the Men chaanged into Magnificent Bulls each rippling with muscles, and they spake to the Reigning Prince of Bulls a Magnificent Red Bull which reminded me of it's horns of the Hunters Moon which appears red in the Sky at around Autumn.
This Magnificent Red Bull which I liken unto the Bull of Heaven trod down all the people in the Arena . smashing them and trodding them under Hoof and Horn, He then proceeded to tear apart the other Princes who had also become Bulls in a most ferocious way, goring them with Horns and Stomping on them with Hooves. I was somewhat terrified looking upward but also downward from my position laying in the Circle in the Midst of the Gate, and the Bull stood on it's Hind legs and spake a threat to me and tried to smash the wall into pieces to get to me, and I quickly remembered I was in Ritual and came to my Senses.
This was my experience with the Nanna Gate or I call it the Place of the Bull of Heaven.

Here's another perspective:
Doing it as a priest and doing it as a magickian are two different things.

I'm not so sure "gate walking" (a magickian's undertaking) out of order is a great idea, however, I don't think that going to one's deity directly is wrong. I mean, what is the purpose in worshipping a deity, and having to go through the realms of others to get there?

But there again, when I first met Ereshkigal, I was not gatewalking, I was merely attening my altar and sacrifices, and was brought to Ganzir by her, and given a sigil to use to access it directly with no intermediary gatewalking. I took this as s ign that as a priestess, I was not to visit the realms of others, but serve Ereshkigal directly. So I'd venture a guess that your headache was due to out-of-order gate walking, and thought she seemed pleased to see you, or at least pleased at your devotion, out of order gatewalking, or even gatewalking itself, may not be the way she wants you to come to her.

Here's an idea for those worried about new people coming in and trying something potentially dangerous such as this, you have enough posts to start your own blog. You could post such things there, and people can comment there on it. Thus ensuring more experienced people will see it, rather than neophytes.
