This volume, edited by Tzvi Zbusch and Karel van der Toorn, contains the papers delivered at the first international conference on Mesopotamian magic held under the auspices of the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies (NIAS) in June 1995. It is the first collective volume dedicated to the study of this topic. It aims at serving as a bench-mark and provides analytic and innovative but also sythetic and programmatic essays. Magical texts, forms, and traditions from the Mesopotamian cultural worlds of the third millennium BCE through the first millennium CE, in the Sumerian, Akkadian and Aramaic languages as well as in art, are examined.

Download Legitimising Magic Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
As magic is a powerful means to influence the natural world and human beings, and is deeply connected to the divine sphere, persons using it are in constant need to justify its use. The ambivalence of magic to serve both well-wishing and ill-wishing aims puts the practitioners ever at risk. This volume illuminates the strategies adopted to legitimise the practice of magic and analyses how these justifications are phrased and formulated in cuneiform texts, thereby revealing the underlying principles and unexplained axioms of using magic in the Ancient Near East.

[Mardukite Heritage Edition: A reissue of an otherwise cycled out-of-print edition kept available for review and posterity as part of the developmental legacy of the Mardukite Research Organization, founded 2008.] A master compilation of mystical exploration into the heart of the ancient Mesopotamian Mysteries, this complete practical companion to the Mardukite "Necronomicon Anunnaki Cycle" illuminates the revolutionary teachings and source materials of the Modern Sumerian-Babylonian-Anunnaki Tradition of the Mardukite Chamberlains (Ordo Nabu Maerdechai), edited by Joshua Free, the presiding Nabu of the organization since its inception. MESOPOTAMIAN MAGIC is a highly innovative and accessible anthology of the complete "Year-3" research and development of the Mardukite Research Organization including three volumes ("Magan Magic," "Maqlu Magic" and "Beyond the Ishtar Gate") in a single incredible compilation! In MAGAN MAGIC: THE ENUMA ELIS (Liber-E) amazing cuneiform tablet records of magick and creation are drawn together to reconstruct the most antiquated, powerful and legendary "magician's primer" ever known to the minds of men --formulated by the ancient Sumerians and Babylonians! MAQLU MAGIC (Liber-M) reveals an authentic "Necronomicon Spellbook" of advanced Mesopotamian Magick drawn from the sands of Babylonia forming a complete Anunnaki ('alien sky god') "grimoire" used by magicians and priests for thousands of years to combat in wizards' duels, reverse the effects of evil spells and curses, banish disease and nightmares, and conjure the protection and blessings of the gods! Finally, BEYOND THE ISHTAR GATE (Liber C) is concerned with the 'other side' of the tradition, parts that have been concealed and yet also what made the tradition famous - mainly, the connection to the "Other," that which we have been programmed to perceive as 'separate' from this reality.
