Ereshkigal (with chants)

Ereshkigal is the goddess of the underworld in Sumerian mythology who was incorporated into Judao-Xian demonology and rightfully identified with Hecate in the Michigan Magickal Papyrus. Upon manifesting before my coven, she made it clear by her bearing of torches and barking of hounds that she was an aspect of Hecate indeed. We called upon her in our rite of initiation into Sathariel-Satorial, the Saturnian Qlipha in opposition to Binah, being the sphere to which Thomas Karlsson attributed her.

The names of Ereshkigal, which names pertain specifically and originally to her, Ereshkigal, Ereskigal, Ereshkigala, Irkalla, Allatu, Allatou, Allat, Allatum, Ninmug. The title Allatu is also applied to the son of Ereshkigal, Namtar, in Sumero-Akkadian religion, but to Ereshkigal herself in Sumero-Babylonian religion.

The names given to the underworld plane under Ereshkigala are Kurnugi, Kur-nu-gi-a, Mahan, Magan, Cutha, Araru, Aralu, Arallu, and Emeslam, wherein her palace is known as Ganzir. The undead known, as the gidim or the etimmu, which undead would bedevil humans failing supplication, resided herein.

A group of seven demons, which demons personified the wrathful forces of nature, answered unto Ereshkigal. These demons were often viewed as one entity and rarely ever acted independently of one another. They are known as the Galla, and they, as the emissaries of Ereskigal, are the only ones who may depart from the netherworld upon entering it.

She manifested last time as ten feet tall with massive raven wings and black robes adorned with a uniquely-shaped bronze-colored crown. One of the most impressive appearance I've ever documented.

Chants


Aperiatur Kur-nu-gi-a et Ganzir, et germinet Ereshkigala

Io Ereskigal-Irkalla [Hail Ereskigal-Irkalla]


Veni, veni, Ereshkigal-- Regina Irkalla-Kurnugi!

I am Leaving the Order of the Nine Angles

I would challenge a person who keeps tabs on the Satanic community to name a black magickal order besides the ONA which regularly expresses scorn for its own adherents. I unable to, and I'm told I know my shit. The most prominent example of the way that the ONA eats itself is the hoax created by Kerry Smith, an "OG" Niner (i.e. founding member) who falsely claimed that the ONA's founder was dead. A few ONA writers, myself included, disputed the claim, but the majority of the ONA accepted the report as accurate. After David Myatt himself resurfaced to refute the claim, Kerry Smith conceded her position. She then explained that hoax was conducted with the intent to publicly prove that the majority of the Order of the Nine Angles would believe anything they were told by an established ONA writer. But Smith is not the only one member of the ONA who holds contempt for the ONA as a near whole. Chloe has largely become known for going on similar tirades, variously portraying

The Ten Spheres of the Qliphoth

Image
This article, which I will be updating as time and increases of knowledge permit and cause, describes the structure of the Qliphoth and the evolutions engendered by an active and long-term initiation calling on it. The Qliphothic Spheres are believed by the White Lodge to represent unbalanced and disorganized reflections of the initiatory forces which are entreated through the Sephiroth. In truth, the Qliphothic Sphere of Jupiter introduces the magickain to the same initiatory force as its corresponding Sephira. The path to enlightenment through demon magick is harder and far more powerful route. Our initiators are not imbalanced; this misconception stems from the manifold plights of those initiates who could not handle the darker path. We acknowledge that the praxis of the White Lodge engenders great awakening, and we await the day they awaken enough to see that we chose the right path for us. If the witch is guided to do so, she may self-initiate through a Qliphothic Sphere or Path w

Introduction to Qliphothic Self-Initiation

Image
I now have rites of initiation for all 10 Qliphothic spheres, all 22 Tunnels of Set, and the 4 hidden Tunnels of Set, and all of them are to be found in the Qliphothic Self-Initiation category of my website. So, where do you start? If the idea of Qliphothic sphereworkings is new to you, read these: https://vkjehannum.wordpress.com/2017/12/04/the-ten-spheres-of-the-qliphoth/ https://vkjehannum.wordpress.com/2017/11/02/a-demonolaters-take-on-the-qliphoth/ If you would like to pursue Qliphothic self-initiation in the future but think you should be more experienced before you try it, I have good news. The spirits, energies, power, etc. of every Qliphothic sphere can be called upon without engendering a sphere initiation. The more you work with these spheres, the more accessible they will be when you do pursue sphere initiations. I have advised black magickal neophytes to recite one of my magickal hymns to the Infernal Divine with the intent of self-empowerment so as to develop an energetic
