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

Joseph
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.

Joseph,
Interesting that you should have the Bull image. The Kerubim (as opposed to Cherubim) often were depicted in ancient Sumeria as winged Bulls and have a strong affinity to the lunar vibrations. Within the texts they reference a kind of grass to be used in the suffumigations. What did you substitute for it?...as they don't give a modern/reliable name...

May I ask what method yu used to not spill seed for 30 days? I have heard of tantric methods...are yu willing to share these as it would be much appreciated.

*chuckle* I don't know what method Joseph used but good, ole abstinence works well.....
You could try Karezza method....but I don't recommend it for beginners.....(Its a form of retroejaculation....something that, if young, you don't want or need to do.)
Trust me on this....as you age and the prostate acts up you'll wish you listened.

Well since I presume this quote is from a non-member of this forum, I can only say so much. I wish the vision was logged in more detail, I am interested mainly in the bull, which although the Kerub of earth also symbolizes much more(The interplay of earth and air and their effects on one another) . Was the bull minataurian looking? Assyrian perhaps (heh, heh) Like I said, I can't really ask questions about the vision because Joe ain't here... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I just dug up Vision and the Voice because of the 23rd Aethyr....gunna shut up now.)

Behold the mystery of toil, O thou who art taken in the toils of mystery. For I who trample the earth thereby make whirlpools in the air; be comforted, therefore, for though I be black (red in this case), in the roof of my mouth is the sign of the beetle...

I want to try this myself but where do you find the seals and their names.

I want to try this myself but where do you find the seals and their names.

They are listed in detail in the simon Necronomicon.

Anyone else do this? I would love to know more about others experiences. Arnt you supposed to be given all the knowledge that gate has to offer once you experience it?

I have read that you can esaily travel the planetary spheres or (traveling the sepheroth) in astral projection is easy. But i am assuming that walking the gates is in someway different. So what is differnt when walking the gates or going to a planetary sphere in astral projection. I have not yet gone to any planetary spheres, I have tried but was 'told' I needed a guide. after that i cannot recall if i was dreaming or still projecting or if I had fully projected or only projected in a dream......?

any thoughts whould be quite helpfull.

I just started a thread in class lessons for Necronomicon gate walking. I still have to write 3 more lessons but you should be able to get all the information U need from there. http://www.sacred-magick.org/index.php?showtopic=2633

Greetings Eye of God!

Whoever told you that walking the spheres was easy? Or Astral travel, for that matter? As with anything in life some may find ease in doing certain things and others abit harder....Take the time to do the work...practice, practice, practice. Astral travel is more than imagining. Gateworking is done in similar manner as the Planetary spheres but contains different 'signposts' and 'landscapes'. I've known dedicated occultists who've practiced for YEARS to achieve conscious astral projection. Denning and Philips book(s) are a good start to learning about projection and the planetary spheres. Smasher, Ashnook and a few others can tell you more about gateworking with the Necronomicon. Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Interesting experience!

If I remember correctly--ENLIL was cosidered the Bull of Heaven. And Enlil is NANNA''s father. And Enlil loathed the masses of mankind--for we were "loud and bothersome!" And form your vision it appears as though Enlil is saying you are not to pass into the lands of the Gods--you are not worthy to partake! Well we all know that as false of course--for we have ENKI to thank for that!
But in summary it sounds like Enlil has given thee a great challenge---make ENKI proud and climb that TOWER OF BABEL!!!!

Why did Joseph failed?
I am preparing to call the watcher and go through the Nanna gate, and I cant find fault with the steps Joseph took (was teh use of sulfur bad?).
Instead of having a little trouble in a dark hallway prior to reaching the door, and after crossing the door being welcome (as Masher666 and Ashnook report) he had a totally different experience. Now the sign of Nanna is the crescent moon, or horns. Could the Bull have been Nannar? why was he upset?.
I also find the melody instead of a password fro the gate curious.. was the melody itself meant to be sung each time he enters a gate?

Daev: in which forum did he place the original e-mail? has Joseph tried to enter the moon gate for a second time?

Thanks,

[font=Century Gothic][size=5]what happened did u recieve the name needed to walk the gates how long did you prepare for the walking

Could you say what you find is difficult about it? I can see that getting to the astral would take practice before it works but whats difficult about walking?

Hello all:
I attempted a Nannar gate opening last night with no results (I actually planned for the day before but fell asleep (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif).
I prepared by burning two bowls, one for Nannar an one for bandar every night for thirty days, doing the fire invokation, the bandar invocation, praying to Nannar and asking Arannuna for help in my endevours. Did not eat meat the last 7 days, and tried not to eat anything the last trhee days (failed on that, had to eat at least a sandwich daily to get the edge off the hunger induced headache). Ended up loosing 7 pounds in 4 days.

I made a large double circle with flour (took a while to make, one bag of flour was not enough) and then tried to make the gate drawing in flour. The result was kind of crude so I made a drawing of the gate in paper with a silver pen as well and placed next to it. Similarly I made the sigils for the N,S,E,W gates and the seal of Nannar. I wanted to make them in the moonlight but could not see very well, so I ended up making them inside the house. I then sprinkle waterd from a flask with Enki's name on it about 60 time (lost count a few times as I was praying to Enki) and then lighted the Nannar's bowl fire. With the firlight I read the Fire gods incantation. Then went to the Bandar's bowl, lighted it up an under its light I read the Bandar incantation. Then I did the N,,E,S,W lamps. Came back to Nannar's bowl, read the moon gate incantation, and then praying to Nannar with the sigil in my hand I started to walk (N, E etc) around the drawing of Nanar's gate while I prayed Nanar to let me enter. I tried to circle 30 times but lost count a few times and almost tripped three times. At the end I layed on top of Nanars gate flour drawing and looked up. The sky was very cloudy and misty but had lots of light. I closed my eyes and prayed some more. Not much happened and I started to nod off, as it was about 3:30 am. I kind of wake up, was tired, so I bid Bandar good bye, turned off the N,E,S,W lamps, left the to bowls burning and went home for a shower and bed. The offering were sliced bread, incense and dried peached (could not get dates), also a little bowl full of water for Enki.

My biggest problems were how to kep count at the same time I am entoning an encantation, and how to read the Nec in the moonlight (ended up crouching really close to the various lamps as I was doing it).

Well, I'll take a break (dont want to do two moons of purifications in a row, it was difficult). I may attempt it again i a few months.

Is there anything in prticular that needs be done after a botched Gate opening? or do I just simply go throuh the steps again?
Does any one detect a flaw in the ceremonies? Any suggestions?

Thanks, Traveller

I use a counter made up of a lether cord with 9 beads of sea shell on one end and 4 beads on the other when i get to ten I move one of the 4 and then use the 9 to count to ten agen.

Yes reading the necro in dim light is hard but try copying the ritual in large letters beforhand.

I remember someone telling me after there trip back from mexico city (living with aztec sorcerer's). The sorcerer asked "do you know how to pray?" He answers with "of course I do! to the sky and earth gods, you taught me." Sorcerer says "NO! You just say everything I tell you! You need to pray with your heart and your soul!"

Now Traveller do you know how to pray?

I would like to reiterate how profound and accurate Seraphim's comments are above. That is the secret to all magick--from the beginner Neophyte to the Adept, that saying from above still holds true. Thanks for those words of wisdom Seraphim! I will be sure to pray "better" and w/ more heart each time I "pray"!

I didn't see Seraphim say anything in this thread. Am I missing something?

Sorry Distillate--credit must be given where credit is due. Seraphim DID NOT post, it was u I was agreeing w/ 100%
A slight misunderstanding! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/oops.gif)

Anyone out there think that Astral experiences can happen w/o the conscious knowledge of the waking self? Maybe the subconscious being takes control and does what is needed w/o the conscious self interfering. I cant seem to remember many Astral experiences--but I feel like I have done alot on that plane. Its like my subsonscious is on and it wants my conscious to keep developing--and sooner or later they will converge and that is when the REAL work can be done. But my conscious must still Evolve.

In other words I am saying my Higher Self is keeping my lower self from interfering w/ the higher self's work.

Hey guys,i went way above my head yesterday and tried experienting with gates with no experience whatever.Me being pulled to the system not for passing the gates specifically but for my Goddess Inanna,and even though i know the dangers of experimenting i decided to..i wanted to see whether i could enter inanna's realm without passing every gate one at a time..

i abstained for three days from meat and meditated,also i painted the seal of inanna on a piece of wood with Gold paint as the background..I then drew the Inanna Gate and in the middle of the gate i drew the seal of inanna.I set up my altar for inanna and sacrificed bread for her,jossstick and a red candle anointed with rose essence..
called the watcher to guard me and then started doing the walking round and round which i had a hard time keeping count,after 15 times i went to the centre and fell to the ground,i sorta fainted..

i had this kinda blur vision of travelling somewhere,blur as in not as vivid as real life or a lucid dream,the vision was abit foggy..i was passing by an area of black fog that surrounded me and cud onli see in front of me,at a distance i saw this wonderful throne with a female figure clad Fully in Gold and surrounding her were quite a number of Naked Hotties:)..the Gold clad lady in the throne looked at me from the distance and i could see her flash a smile at me..A few seconds later the black fog completely consumed me and i awoke back in my circle with a throbbing headache at the back of my head.the headache continued for hours and even a forced sleep couldnt rid me of it..Strange thing was i realized after some time that i was still wearing my frontlet of calling on my neck and the moment i took it off,the pain disappeared..

nice, that is simlar to my experience except I had to crash through the gate through a dark tunnel.

ps. I have done the gates out of order first, then I recently did them in order with the same results.

Dont play with the gates. U will seriously fock yourself up. You are walking the gates out of order? Dont be surprised if you have a string of bad luck. Dont be surprised if your life starts spiralling out of control. Do not play with any more gates out of order. You need to start with Nanna and work your way back up to Inanna to protect yourself from the gate forces.

I am not trying to be a d!ck head here.

I just feel that you need to be warned.

You are playing with fire.

And posting this on the forum you might persude some other people to f%*! themselves up.

Not cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/face08.gif)

Another way to look at it is that his experiences could be used as an example of what to do or not to do. Edunpanna remember, There are many blinds in the system. The second that was brought to everyones attention it completely opened up the system to exeriementation. Now it may not be wise to do it out of sequence but if that is what he feels he must do then that is what he must do. Magic works in different ways for different people. What drove some people nuts might just awaken him to new possibilities. All anyone can truly recommend is to use caution. But that is sound advice whether you use the Nec., Goetia, or any magic system in general. Now I would also like for them to keep posting their results. That is the only way some people will learn without having to experience it for themselves. Lastly, Remember, The Mad Arab, followed the system and said not to deviate from it and look what happened to him, he's lost to history. So maybe just maybe going out of sequence is the key. Only by doing it will one know for sure. Follow your gut....cautiously.

Thanks for the heads up bro..The thing is i have no interest in gate walking and stuff..My interest lies to my goddess alone..And i attempted the trip to her realm even with the danger only because i felt i had to take an effort to go to her realm personally and show allegiance before i ever try and call her to my own realm,a sort of respect thing..Get what i mean.. wasnt trying to play around,i took a risk to show my goddess i was determined to meet her..Thats about it..My path may not have been ideal but my intentions were pure..

You raise a good point, though I submit that the Mad Arab went insane becuase he delved too far into the wastelands.

As per OmNama, it is quite clear that your intent was pure and you have no interest in walking the gates. Normally I would be very against taking such an act but seeing as Inanna is your personal Deity, I see no foul play in your actions. Congradulations on meeting the Godess Brother.

take a look at the other related system the TREE OF LIFE, that is built upon the logical structuring of Evolution. The Gate system is the same! Dude--I am subject ot my LORD MARDUK--but I WILL NOT WALK HIS GATE UNTIL IT IS TIME TO! Meaning I have conditioned my spirit and soul to withstand and take in the experiences of his gate. Much like trying to climb a staircase by jumping to the third step then stepping down to one, then jump up to 5 then down to 2---stupid and pointless--wasting energy needlessly! Plus, it is out of logical order. Bro, MARDUK is my LORD--but I WILL NOT jump up to his gate until its time to--after I have walked the previous 5!

Show her your determination by walking all the gates--that shows her more respect than side stepping the covenant and the laws of the cosmic universe.....
