Download or read book The Complete Book of Marduk by Nabu written by Joshua Free and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collector's edition of the long-lost translated cuneiform tablet collection, revealing secret underground methods to acquire direct communication with what some call "alien intelligences" via a program of ancient-styled Babylonian-inspired devotion, reviving the same techniques as ancient Mardukite priests of the Sumerian Anunnaki in Mesopotamia. This amazing 10th Anniversary collector's edition of "The Book of Marduk by Nabu" reflects a very real modern philosophical and meta-spiritual "New Thought" movement aligned specifically with the Anunnaki paradigm. In ancient Babylon, this was famously celebrated among the followers of MARDUK--recognized among the pantheon as patron of Babylon city and self-made Anunnaki "King of the Gods" for the "Mardukite" or "Babylonian" branch of the Mesopotamian mythos, with the assistance of the Nabu priesthood of scribes. Ten years ago, materials from "The Complete Book of Marduk by Nabu" circulated underground, serving as an early cornerstone of "Mesopotamian Neopaganism," paving the way for a decade of developmental research and experimentation by the "Mardukite ResearchOrganization" of "Mardukite Chamberlains." Selections included in this revised and expanded, beautifully crafted, portable hardcover Mardukite Liber-W+Z volume have also inspired many other incredible literary classics, including "The Complete Anunnaki Bible" and "The Sumerian Legacy" by Joshua Free. In commemoration of the anniversary release of a "complete" Book of Marduk by Nabu, additional portions once released separately as "The Book of Zagmuk" are also included, detailing the annual Spring Equinox Festival or Babylonian "Akiti"/"Akitu" New Year Rituals. As an additional bonus, this special edition of a favored underground classic now includes graphic images of Mesopotamian Art that beautifully supplements key information, as reproduced from "The Anunnaki Tarot" guidebook by Joshua Free and Kyra Kaos--forthcoming in June 2019.
Download or read book Marduk King of Earth written by Janet Kira Lessin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MARDUK: ANUNNAKI KING OF EARTH By Sasha Alex Lessin, Ph.D. (Anthropology) & Janet Kira Lessin CEO, Aquarian Radio Marduk, Our secret Anunnaki ruler, says he'll make amends for suffering he caused. Anu, legal successor to planet Nibiru King Lahma, signed a treaty with King Alalu who slew Lahma. Anu quit as Lahma's successor and agreed to let his and Alalu's grandson Marduk succeed Alalu. Anu however reneged. He abrogated the treaty, deposed Alalu and denied Marduk Nibiru's Crown. Marduk rocketed to Earth where he joined his father Enki, Chief Scientist, Earth Goldmining Expedition (the Anunnaki). Marduk didn't rule Nibiru; he only, for awhile, ruled the Astronaut Corps (Igigi) on Mars. He wed a Hybrid (Sarpanit) whose ancestors his dad created. He built Babylon for both Anunnaki and Hybrids in Iraq. Marduk backed the Igigi after they abducted hybrid women following his wedding. He helped settle them on Earth. The Igigi and the lineages they bred with the slave-women, allied with him, settled in Jerico, Canaan and Egypt. In 3450 BCE Anunnaki Commander Enlil-Yahweh had his son Ninurta bomb Marduk's Babylon. In 2924 BCE Ninurta nuked the Expedition's Sinai Spaceport to deny it to Marduk. Marduk's brother Nergal bombed Sodom, Gomorra and the Salt Sea's south bank to kill Marduk's son Nabu. To Enlil's shock, a radioactive storm blew from the bombs he'd ordered dropped and also killed his Sumerian Earthlings. Enlil left Earth rule to Marduk.
Download or read book Much Ado about Marduk written by Jennifer Finn and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars often assume that the nature of Mesopotamian kingship was such that questioning royal authority was impossible. This volume challenges that general assumption, by presenting an analysis of the motivations,methods, and motifs behind a scholarly discourse about kingship that arose in the final stages of the last Mesopotamian empires. The focus of the volume is the proliferation of a literature that problematizes authority in the Neo-Assyrian period, when texts first begin to specifically explore various modalities for critique of royalty. This development is symptomatic of a larger discourse about the limits of power that emerges after the repatriation of Marduk's statue to Babylon during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar I in the 12th century BCE. From this point onwards, public attitudes toward Marduk provide a framework for the definition of proper royal behavior, and become a point of contention between Assyria and Babylonia. It is in this historical and political context that several important Akkadian compositions are placed. The texts are analyzed from a new perspective that sheds light on their original milieux and intended functions.

Download or read book The Necronomicon written by Simon and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1980-03-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past 31 years, there has been a lot of ink—actual and virtual—spilled on the subject of the Necronomicon. Some have derided it as a clumsy hoax; others have praised it as a powerful grimoire. As the decades have passed, more information has come to light both on the book's origins and discovery, and on the information contained within its pages. The Necronomicon has been found to contain formula for spiritual trans-formation, consistent with some of the most ancient mystical processes in the world, processes that were not public knowledge when the book was first published, processes that involve communion with the stars. In spite of all the controversy, the first edition sold out before it was published. And it has never been out of print since then. This year, the original designer of the 1977 edition and the original editor have joined forces to present a new, deluxe hardcover edition of the most feared, most reviled, and most desired occult book on the planet.

Download or read book Job and the God of Babylon written by Jacob Kaaks and published by Eburon Academic Publishers, Utrecht. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For years, words that were to influence our ideas about God lay undiscovered under the sand. It was only after 1950, when a number of clay tablets had been excavated, that the origins of our current notion of God came to light. They were found in Mesopotamia, present-day Iraq, and revealed to us how temple priests, led by theopolitical motives, compiled the texts that became the Old Testament. The Book of Job reveals to what extent Judea, particularly the city of Jerusalem, were ravaged, but nevertheless remains true to the basic premise of an invisible, universal God. Job is not the arch-sufferer of a church's teaching, but a beacon in an evolving concept of God. Jacob Kaaks is a Dutch theologian specializing in the Old Testament. His efforts to clarify cryptical Bible texts led him to the study of Akkadian, the 'mother language' of Hebrew, and for centuries the official tongue of the Middle East. Its rich literary tradition has yielded invaluable material for a renewed interpretation of old Bible stories, in this case the Book of Job"--Publisher description.

Download or read book Children of the Incubi written by Lana Wiggins and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lily's life is turned upside down when the Devil and his Conscience appear with a blood-inked contract binding her to write an incredible saga of Heaven and Hell as dictated. In a darkly humorous fashion, Lily fights her muses every step of the way, even after losing her job, her apartment, all her possessions, and nearly losing her life, but Lily cannot resist their fantastic story that outlines a seemingly simple mistake made by Marduk, the Black Dragon, and Amon, the White One, aka the Devil and God. This one simple mistake begins to spiral out of control with far reaching consequences both are powerless to stop, especially the Marriage of Heaven and Hell that springs from an unlikely romantic union that has disastrous consequences when the Elders step forward to right the wrongs of the Black Dragon and the White One. Marriage of Heaven and Hell is the first book in The Children of the Incubi series, a darkly humorous, romantically erotic, eerily preternatural, softly horrific, and highly irreverent 6-volume adult fantasy Saga of God and the Devil. But Amon and Marduk are not your grandmother's God and Devil. Lily is surprised to learn that the Gods are not only equal confederates who are fiercely loyal to each other, but they are also sexy, witty, wicked, selfish, clumsy, and tragically flawed. Humanity awakens the Gods in this epic Saga of love, lust, betrayal, deceit, debauchery, murder, war, dark spirits, revenge, torture, and twisted humor in the Colonies of the Gods.

Download or read book Ritual Performance and Politics in the Ancient Near East written by Lauren Ristvet and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Lauren Ristvet rethinks the narratives of state formation by investigating the interconnections between ritual, performance, and politics in the ancient Near East. She draws on a wide range of archaeological, iconographic, and cuneiform sources to show how ritual performance was not set apart from the real practice of politics; it was politics. Rituals provided an opportunity for elites and ordinary people to negotiate political authority. Descriptions of rituals from three periods explore the networks of signification that informed different societies. From circa 2600 to 2200 BC, pilgrimage made kingdoms out of previously isolated villages. Similarly, from circa 1900 to 1700 BC, commemorative ceremonies legitimated new political dynasties by connecting them to a shared past. Finally, in the Hellenistic period, the traditional Babylonian Akitu festival was an occasion for Greek-speaking kings to show that they were Babylonian and for Babylonian priests to gain significant power.
Download or read book Anunnaki written by Sasha Lessin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-03-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anunnaki: False Gods extends Zecharia Sitchin's translations from clay tablets that underlie the Bible. Ten thousand years ago, scribes in ancient Sumer (Iraq) wrote on these tablets what they said the Anunnaki gods (tall people from the sky) dictated. Sitchin asked Dr. Lessin to keep public attention on his legacy by creating an educational program. The Anunnaki are Homo sapiens like us but who live hundreds of thousands of years. They said they rocketed to Iraq 450,000 years ago from a planet called Nibiru to harvest gold to send back (via Mars) to Nibiru to powder into an atmospheric shield. They mined abundant gold in Africa until, 300,000 years ago, their miners mutinied. To replace the mutineers, Anunnaki geneticists created short-lived slaves, called Adamites, adapted from their own genome but modified with a bit of clay, copper and genes from an intelligent hominoid, Homo erectus (Bigfoot's ancestor) already living in Africa. Two hundred thousand years ago, Enki, their Chief Scientist, begat a line of Earthlings called Adapites with two Adamite girls. Fifty thousand years ago Enki and an Adamite beauty begat Noah, who carried Enki's longevity genes and ruled the Iraqi city of Sharuppak. Enki saved Noah and many of his subjects from the Deluge of 13,000 years ago. The Anunnaki had Noah's people and other flood survivors proliferate and build cities in the Middle East and Egypt with up to 50,000 inhabitants. The Anunnaki ruled the new civilizations as gods with descendants of Noah's sons as intermediaries. The Anunnaki gave us the best and the worst of planet-wide civilization--kings, historians, taxes, temples, priests, bicameral congresses, record-keeping, law codes, library catalogs, furnaces, kilns, wheeled vehicles, paved roads, medicines, cosmogony, cosmology, festivals, beer, food recipes, art, music, music instruments, music notes, dance, textiles, and multicolored apparel. Sumerian schools taught mathematics, architecture, theology, writing, grammar, botany, zoology, geography. They displayed but did not pass on a world-wide energy grid, air, submarine and interplanetary transport vehicles and advanced computers. They also gave us hierarchy, misogyny, violence, greed, slavery, debt and war that featured genocide and weapons of mass destruction. In 2024 BCE Anunnaki ruined their eastern Mediterranean cities with nuclear blasts and fallout storms. Most of the Anunnaki returned to Nibiru by 311 BCE. But some stayed. They and their descendants (the power elite) rule us to this day. They and their spawn created and perpetuate exclusive, hostile nations and religions to keep us divided. They addicted us to credit institutions to keep us slaving. Their tales of their stay on Earth before they made our ancestors, as well as what our forefathers directly saw, imprinted us with the values of their hierarchic, male-run, master-slave-enemy mentality. We assumed values of extraction, pollution, monetary monopoly and obsession with gold. Fortunately, the Lessins contend, the genetics team that created us also gave us the capacity and preserved the histories Sitchin and others translated so we can overcome the liabilities they left us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories translated here all of ancient Mesopotamia, and include not only myths about the Creation and stories of the Flood, but also the longest and greatest literary composition, the Epic of Gilgamesh.
