Greetings,
On the identity of the Old Testament Yahweh; This is from Genesis 2: 9-19 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The SERPENT beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the LORD God said unto the SERPENT, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
OK, well that Yahweh sounds like a really pissed off Enlil, angry that Enki had seduced and taught 'Eve' about sex, thus elevating humanity and allowing us to reproduce. And if you'll remember, Enki was a major skirt chaser many times seducing women and was also associated heavily with dragons, or serpents. Also, the way Yahweh in these passages speaks to Adam/Adapa and Eve, it seems almost as though he's talking to someone else's creations, I.E Enki's newly created humans. Now, i can't exactly remember which text it was, but when the Gods decided to create man, it was Enki who would do it, but on the condition brought forth by Enlil, that they not become to numerous. So naturally Enlil would be really annoyed if Enki went and taught us how to do that anyway. The nature of the Serpent in the above text really fits Enki's nature. Enlil wanted us kept on the level of animals, Enki raised us up. Enlil wanted us destroyed by a flood, again Enki gave him the finger and saved us. So i really feel the Enlil to Enki, or Enlil to Marduk transition theory of the Biblical Yahweh fits pretty well. And as you mention Smasher, Baal being Marduk makes a great argument for the New Testament Yahweh being Marduk. Just look at how 'Yahweh' until the end of the Old Testament, would just go off the handle when his people encountered Baal worshipers. He was doing everything he could to keep Marduk from gaining followers and thus taking his throne. The perfect example is the unmitigated hatred the Old Testament Yahweh and his people had for Babylon, Marduk's major city. Another interesting thing to be looked into would be the arguments between 'Yahweh' and 'Satan' in the Book of Job. Especially since in the original Hebrew, yahweh isn't arguing with 'Satan', he's arguing with someone called 'Ha Sa-tan', which means 'The Adversary'. In fact, this may have been the point in which Enlil and Enki switched places. In this account it is Yahweh who gave Job and his family many blessings and a good life, while the satan is all jealous about and thinks Job will turn his back on yahweh if he's stricken. And all the crap done to Job certainly seems like something Enlil would do. but that's just a quick thought.lol Enlil to Enki, or Enlil to Marduk?hmmm Peace.

Greetings fellow occultists.
Before any get alarmed, I want to state that what I present you with are my own present beliefs of YHWH from my past experiences, please, keep an open mind, and know that I am probably wrong as well.
As is a given, I am a studier of religions, and just recently, I had been studying the Bible - King James Version, as well as the Catholic one. What I've come to realize, which may seem preposterous to some, if not many, is that the Bible may have a higher reason than that of putting your faith in God. I believe (and these are my beliefs), that YHWH is actually a God of magic, and Jesus was a fabulous occultist. Now the Bible does beffudle its follower Christians with glib perspections and hidden profoundness, and not many do understand it; which is of course, the point.
The Bible is an intricate grimoire, which is to be re-assembled to be fathomed and understood. The Bible is hidden with profound information, save for the astute and keen of mind to penetrate it and understand what it teaches. I believe Jehova, as opposed to the god-type of Shaitan, or Say-Tan, is for keeping the occult - occult; by this I mean that he is a true magical god who seeks to keep the universal balance of the Occult hidden for those diligent and astute enough to seek it out, thus, not for everyone, for if the occult were for everyone, it'd have no power, and quickly become futile.
As we can see, the Bible has many versus that preach: " Do not commence in the path of the occult " for instance, or "Shun the occult for these reasons ", " Do not listen to the Devil ". These have inherent truth to them if taken with scrutiny and cognizance, but many are myopic and quickly befuddled by the intricacy of the teachings. The purpose, I believe Yahweh (or Jehova) set out for was to keep the occult hidden for those in their later incarnates, and those "ready" for the divine teachings, if you will. To fully understand the teachings, one must not only be keen about them, but also come in rapport with the Bible, without allowing all the folly judgementals impede.
Why is Say-Tan inimical, if Yahweh is almighty? Well, I personally do not believe that Yahweh is the Creator, but only a God, a stronger Jinn, if you will. I believe Yahweh very well may be Enki, and has been in disguise to keep the occult away from infidelity and myopicy. As we can see, the Aeon is of Lucifer (or the biblical Satan), and there is a higher penetration and reverence of the occult, as there was before. I personally would believe this to be a threat as well, for the occult is not occult when all is unfurled; but that is not the point here. Hegemony will reign over those who are not fit for the gold, and it will align with those who can see through the blurry dark; for if all would indulge in the secrecy, occult will be dead, and magic futile, harmony will cease in the hands of ignorance.
Keep us updated with valid info Necronomicon study groups, how will you postulate on this? Enki - Jehova (Yahweh).

Greetings,
Enki-yhwh, absolutely. There's some minor disagreements among us in the Lodge atm as to whether Enki is Yhwh throughout the entire Bible, or if the Old Testament god isn't actually Enlil. Since Enlil tends be angry and vengeful, while Enki is kinder and more loving, it kind of fits the nature of the Yhwh of the Bible. Angery and mean in the old testament, kind and caring in the New Testament. As for Jesus, I pretty much have to agree. Enki and Enlil had sons, but none of them were the Peace and Love types like Yeheshuah. Powerful magician, sure, why not? Son of God, no. Abba Lugal Nosotro Tehuti.

Well of course, I was mostly refering to the "New Testament" in the above, where YHWH actually shares Enki's traits. But in the Old Testament he shares more of Enlil's traits. But I do believe that he is an extremely smart and profound God who is the sole reason the occult has rose in such power to this day, without any ignorance impeding and succumbing the growth of such a treasure. Many fall a victim to the Bible's "gilded" hegemony, if you will, and these people are those that are missing out on it's profound secrets, these are the people who are better left walking their walks and away from the secrets, whilst the true magicians do not falter to open their minds and audaciously seek the very places the Bible privies to. In other words, he tells us: "When you're ready and have your heads out of your butts you'll see the treasure I've presented you with". This post has been edited by NecroReaper: Jan 30 2007, 12:44 AM

Good post NecroReaper, I agree with the theory that the bible is a grimoire. I've come to believe that since I began to get into the occult and it's been a long road because I was raised Catholic, and I still consider myself Catholic for the simple reason that I don't believe it's actually possible to totally tear away from the religion that we are born into. I believe if we are born into a certain faith, we have to play the cards we are dealt. That's my opinion of course, so I don't mean to offend anybody. That being said, I have (and will continue to do so) prayed and attempted to make contact with several Gods although mostly Goddesses (mainly because of the fact that the Church has always oppressed women, and I've tried to do the opposite of what the church advocates) of different pantheons and they have been much easier to contact than yehova. I suppose it's part of it's nature, being a God of the occult. Despite all of that work with the different Godforms, I've come to accept that I was baptised to at least respect yehova, and I'm alright with that as long as he accepts I won't accept most church doctrine. After all, I don't believe the bible should be taken literally, and I don't believe yehova will smite me for sinning every now and again (IMG: style_emoticons/default/bigwink.gif)

Nice. Put in that perspective, it sorta explains why when I tried to throw away my previous misconceptions, and connected to "angelic powers" under the context belief dynamic that you have described, NecroReaper, I was no longer plagued by certain energy fluxuations that kept me awake and in an enebriated state on the dreamscape rather than to the astral directly. Furthermore, I lost all sense of anxiety, if only for a moment, and the -barrier- which can be likened to a compressed field of white noise (the one I had problems with earlier) has been diminished greatly. Thank you so much for your input. It makes a little more sense this way. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I dont mean to offend anyone with this post.So i apologize in advance if i do.I grew up in my life with very bad experience with regards to christianity and christians in general.I went from being born with a silver spoon in my mouth(READ MILLIONAIRE) to living in a rented apartment eating porridge after my family got swindled by some pastors.Because of that,i grew up with tremendous hatred towards names like elohim and yahweh and i cursed and sweared at yahweh many times for what "his guys" did to me.I have matured as the years passed by and have come to think of him as Creator,master and leader of the Solar realm of entities with the proud solar angelic entities serving him.I believe that these solar entities are in constant battle with another group,the Lunar entities where magick which uses the Moon as its source comes from.I still dont care much about him,but wierdly enough i think highly of our dear old JC.
I do not know how much that was written about JC was real and whether he was truly the son of God or was he just an enlightened being.But any man,who gives his life for what he believed in(whether it was real or not doesnt matter),for the sin of men of all things,thats what i call RESPECT..I dont care much about the bible,or yahweh,but JC,that guy i respect..Peace..
