  • Chapter X LAMASTU, DAUGHTER of ANU. a PROFILE
    Chapter X LAMASTU, DAUGHTER OF ANU. A PROFILE F.A.M. Wiggermann Introduction and sources Outstanding among all supernatural evils defined by the ancient Mesopotamians is the child snatching demoness called Dimme in Sumerian, and Lamastu in Akkadian. I Whereas all other demons remain vague entities often operating in groups and hardly distinct from each other, DimmelLamastu has become a definite personality, with a mythology, an iconography, and a recognizable pattern of destructive action. The fear she obviously inspired gave rise to a varied set of counter measures, involving incantation­ rituals, herbs and stones, amulets, and the support of benevolent gods and spirits. These counter measures have left their traces in the archaeological record, the written and figurative sources from which a profile of the demoness can be reconstructed. Often the name of a demon or god gives a valuable clue to his (original) nature, but both Dimme and Lamastu have resisted interpretation. The reading of the Sumerian logogram dOiM(.ME) as Dim(m)e is indicated by graphemics: the ME wich is usually (but not always) added to the base doiM does not change the meaning, and must be a phonetic indicator. The presumed gloss' gab ask u (YOS 11 90:4, see Tonietti 1979:308) has been collated and reinterpreted (A. Cavigneaux, Z4 85 [1995] 170). The word may be identical with the Sumerian word for "corpse", "figurine", but this is far from certain, and does not clarify the behaviour of the demoness. Lamastu should be and could be a Semitic word, but the Akkadian lexicon does not offer a suitable root to derive it from.

  • Humbaba Research Packet.Pdf
    HUMBABA Research Packet Compiled by Cassi Schiano and Christine Scarfuto CONTENTS: History of the Epic of Gilgamesh Summary of the Epic (and the Twelve Tablets) Character Info on Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and Humbaba Brief Historical Info: Babylon Ancient Rome The Samurai Colonial England War in Afghanistan 1 History of The Epic of Gilgamesh The Epic of Gilgamesh is epic poetry from Mesopotamia and is among the earliest known works of literature. The story revolves around a relationship between Gilgamesh (probably a real ruler in the late Early Dynastic II period ca. 27th century BC) and his close male companion, Enkidu. Enkidu is a wild man created by the gods as Gilgamesh's equal to distract him from oppressing the citizens of Uruk. Together they undertake dangerous quests that incur the displeasure of the gods. Firstly, they journey to the Cedar Mountain to defeat Humbaba, its monstrous guardian. Later they kill the Bull of Heaven that the goddess Ishtar has sent to punish Gilgamesh for spurning her advances. The latter part of the epic focuses on Gilgamesh's distressed reaction to Enkidu's death, which takes the form of a quest for immortality. Gilgamesh attempts to learn the secret of eternal life by undertaking a long and perilous journey to meet the immortal flood hero, Utnapishtim. Ultimately the poignant words addressed to Gilgamesh in the midst of his quest foreshadow the end result: "The life that you are seeking you will never find. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping." Gilgamesh, however, was celebrated by posterity for his building achievements, and for bringing back long-lost cultic knowledge to Uruk as a result of his meeting with Utnapishtim.

  • A PRELIMINARY STUDY of the SUMERIAN CURRICULAR and LAMENTATIONAL TEXTS from the OLD BABYLONIAN CITY of KISH by Joshua A. Bowen A
    A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THE SUMERIAN CURRICULAR AND LAMENTATIONAL TEXTS FROM THE OLD BABYLONIAN CITY OF KISH by Joshua A. Bowen A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland February, 2017 © 2017 Joshua A. Bowen All Rights Reserved Abstract The collections of Sumerian and Akkadian tablets that have been excavated at various Old Babylonian sites have been surveyed and subjected to corpus-based analysis, including the tablets from prominent cities such as Nippur, Ur, Sippar, Isin, and Uruk. However, until very recently, attention has not focused on the important northern city of Kiš. Although many of the literary and liturgical duplicates from Kiš have been translated and discussed, neither the curricular nor the lamentational corpora have been treated as a whole. The goal of my dissertation, therefore, is to survey and analyze the entirety of the Old Babylonian (ca. 2000-1600 BCE) curricular and lamentational textual material from Kiš in order to identify local features or traditions that were unique to these genres. The survey of the curricular textual material will seek to accomplish two goals. First, it will identify the curricular compositions that were used in scribal education at Kiš during the OB period. Second, it will determine the ways in which the Kiš scribal curriculum deviated from the curricula that are known from other OB cites, such as Nippur, Ur, and Sippar. The latter investigation will reveal two patterns at Kiš. First, it will demonstrate that, although several curricular duplicates varied from manuscripts found at the major scribal center, Nippur, there is evidence to suggest that there were lines of textual transmission that connected the OB Kiš lexical tradition to those that were found in the MB and the first millennium.

They belong to a group of Middle Assyrian tablets discovered in Neo Assyrian archeological contexts in different find-spots from two main areas in the northern part of the city.496 About one hundred MA tablets were unearthed together with NA manuscripts in the southwest courtyard of the Assur Temple (N1).497 An additional sixty tablets were found in an earlier NA archeological context in the area southwest of the Anu-Adad Temple (M2).498 To this group probably belong five more tablets without correct excavation numbers, three of which are bilingual.499 However, many Sumerian literary texts from Assur have unrecorded or unknown find-spots or their archival context cannot be reconstructed.500 In addition to literary texts, the col- lection includes palace and harem regulations, royal inscriptions, omina, lexical lists, astronomical and astrological texts, and several other typologies.501 According to Weidner (1952-53) this collec- tion, consisting of Assyrian manuscripts and tablets imported from Babylonia, once belonged to a single library assembled by the king Tiglath-Pileser I (1114-1076 B.C.). This view was questioned by Lambert502 who suggested that scribes wrote tablets for their own libraries. Now it is generally agreed upon that this collection stems from the reign of various kings. A large part of it, including several Sumerian literary texts, is the work of the sons of the royal scribe Ninurta-uballissu.

    Arcanorum Alchymiae – The Secrets of Alchemy And a primer on the histories of Man, their ways, and customs As recorded by Hermaeus Trismegistus I Είναι αλήθεια, χωρίς σφάλματα, ορισμένα πιο, II Αυτό που είναι κάτω είναι όπως αυτό που είναι πάνω, και τι είναι πάνω είναι σαν αυτό που είναι κάτω, για να ολοκληρώσει τα θαύματα του ένα μόνο πράγμα. III Και ξέρουν ότι όλα τα πράγματα έχουν προκύψει από μία από τη μεσολάβηση ενός: έτσι όλα τα πράγματα έχουν τη γέννησή τους από αυτό το ένα πράγμα με προσαρμογή. IV Ο πατέρας είναι το ήλιο. Η μητέρα είναι η Σελήνη, ο άνεμος μετέφερε στην κοιλιά της, η νοσοκόμα είναι η γη. V Ο πατέρας όλης της τελειότητας, ή ολοκλήρωση όλου του κόσμου είναι εδώ. VI δύναμη ή η ισχύς είναι ολόκληρο το αν πρέπει να μετατραπούν σε γη. VII θελεις διαχωρίσει τη γη από τη φωτιά, το λεπτό από το ακαθάριστο, suavely, και με μεγάλη εφευρετικότητα. VIII θα διώξετε όλα τα σκιές. IXΑυτή είναι όλη η δύναμη της ισχυρής δύναμης, για να συντρίβει κάθε λεπτό πράγμα και να διεισδύσουν σε κάθε στερεό πράγμα. X Έτσι, ο κόσμος δημιουργήθηκε. XI προχωρήσει εκ τούτου θαύματα, η οποία είναι εδώ. Ως εκ τούτου είμαι εγώ που ονομάζεται Τρεις φορές Μεγάλη, με τα τρία μέρη της φιλοσοφίας του όλου του κόσμου. XII Ό, τι έχω πει για τη λειτουργία του ήλιου. I Tis true without lying, certain & most true. II That which is below is like that which is above & that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing III And as all things have been & arose from one by the mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.

  • Aquarian Mythology
    Aquarian Mythology A Comparative Study By John Kirk Robertson, DD Baltimore, USA 1975 ISBN 0-9543605-3-2 “Copyright: extends only as far as acknowledging the author in any reproduction of the text. Text should only be reproduced for teaching purposes or personal study and not for gain.” [NOTE: With the acknowledgement that John K. Robertson wrote the material I culled below, I present for personal study and non-profit purposes John’s interesting material. Note that the images in the original text did not transfer. Only the written text survives here…. [Bill Wrobel] PREFACE The myth has come to mean that which is "fanciful, absurd and unhistorical". Yet myths are "all grave records of ancient religious customs and events, and reliable enough as history once their language is understood and allowance has been made for errors in transcription, misunderstandings of obsolete ritual, and deliberate changes introduced for moral or political reasons." (Graves, Robert. The White Goddess. London, Faber, 1948.) The religious myths of humanity contain repeated well defined symbols such as the Great Mother and the Lame Smith. When these symbols are fitted to the precise order of the signs of the zodiac this gives the cosmological key to the mysteries of the universe or macrocosm and the human body which is the microcosm. 1 Man, as a spiritual being, is a direct recipient of the energies of the universe, which flow in through his psychic centres or chakras along the spine. Mythology gives information on esoteric psychology which goes far beyond twentieth century concepts of the nature of man.

  • Perceptions of the Serpent in the Ancient Near East: Its Bronze Age Role in Apotropaic Magic, Healing and Protection
    PERCEPTIONS OF THE SERPENT IN THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST: ITS BRONZE AGE ROLE IN APOTROPAIC MAGIC, HEALING AND PROTECTION by WENDY REBECCA JENNIFER GOLDING submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN STUDIES at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR M LE ROUX November 2013 Snake I am The Beginning and the End, The Protector and the Healer, The Primordial Creator, Wisdom, all-knowing, Duality, Life, yet the terror in the darkness. I am Creation and Chaos, The water and the fire. I am all of this, I am Snake. I rise with the lotus From muddy concepts of Nun. I am the protector of kings And the fiery eye of Ra. I am the fiery one, The dark one, Leviathan Above and below, The all-encompassing ouroboros, I am Snake. (Wendy Golding 2012) ii SUMMARY In this dissertation I examine the role played by the ancient Near Eastern serpent in apotropaic and prophylactic magic. Within this realm the serpent appears in roles in healing and protection where magic is often employed. The possibility of positive and negative roles is investigated. The study is confined to the Bronze Age in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Syria-Palestine. The serpents, serpent deities and deities with ophidian aspects and associations are described. By examining these serpents and deities and their roles it is possible to incorporate a comparative element into his study on an intra- and inter- regional basis. In order to accumulate information for this study I have utilised textual and pictorial evidence, as well as artefacts (such as jewellery, pottery and other amulets) bearing serpent motifs.

So the gods tried again and again— beginning with the instrument of contagion and plague, and cycling through the usual options of drought and famine—until they hit upon what seemed to be the final and perfect solution: to drown out the noise of humans, quite literally, by submerging the world under water. These events come down to us in the Atrahasis myth, also popularly known as the Babylonian Flood Story.[1] The more famous version is in the Hebrew Bible, where Noah and his family shelter in place within that refugee boat called an ark.[2] As it happened in the Mesopotamian story, the few survivors of the postdiluvian world could not adequately sustain the economy and culture, nor could they offer sufficient worship and sacrifice.

  • Pazuzu's Blessing
    Satanic Bay Area, Pazuzu’s Blessing, 2019 edition Note: This ritual employs some material our regular Black Mass script. For the benefit of anyone already familiar with the “base ritual” who doesn’t want to have to review it, alterations and new material appear in red text. When we finished our very first Satanic Remembrance Ritual in early 2019, we realized this created another opportunity. After all, many of our members were coping with difficult times, but many others also had positive milestones in their lives: weddings, children, new relationship, new jobs, new achievements, new opportunities, etc. Pazuzu’s Blessing is a compliment to the Remembrance Ritual, meant as an emotional balance, although one can be easily be conducted without the other. In Mesopotamian myth, Pazuzu was the king of evil wind demons, but he was also paradoxically a protective figure, since his fearsome image was thought to ward off more destructive demons. He was particularly useful as a ward to protect mothers and children. Here we’ve expanded his role beyond motherhood to act as an icon for all good fortune, and as an avatar for personal achievement. Unlike most other rituals, Pazuzu’s Blessing is specifically meant to be performed during the day and in a festive open space, and the atmosphere is quite different from the usual sinister overtones of other ritual proceedings. *** Required: -Altar. -At least one person to conduct the ceremony. -Cup, bowl, or chalice. -Black book. -Flowers (live or fake) -Physical “blessings” -Blood (see notes on sourcing) Suggested: -Between four and 12 candles. Black is traditional, but whatever works for you.
