Tbe succubitic demon goddess Naamah rules the Qliphothic sphere of the Black Earth, the Womb-Gate to the Qliphoth, variously known as Nahemoth/Nehemoth/Nahemo, Lilith, and Reschaim, which Qlipha is divided into the five kingdoms inhabited by the Nephilim, Geburim, Raphaim, Anakim, and Amalekim.

Maamah presides over physical fitness, pleasure, music, art, the awakening of dark desires, sexuality, beauty, compassion, desire, the subconscious, the material plane, passion, intelligence/acuity, love, healing, knowledge of self, storms, natural disasters, agriculture, wealth, confidence, discernment, protection, fear, night, nocturnal creatures, strength of will, alteration of consciousness, and the dead. According to The Tree of Shadows, rituals to Naamah are most powerul during the full and new moon, and according to The Red Book of Appin, rites to her are best performed on Tuesday nights.

Nahema is held to be a goddess of divination and to preside over the witching hour, and she is purported to have a very beautiful and hypnotic singing voice. She gives assistance and instruction in nature magick, atavism, geomancy, pyromancy, the mysteries of the moon, death magick, sex magick, psychic vampyrism, shapeshifting, conversing in the native language of demonian night-things, necromancy, and the use of poisons in witchcraft.

Nahema is written to be betrothed to Shamdan, Asmodeus, Tubal-Qayin, and Samael. Apocryphal lore delineates her as variously the sister of Tubal-Qayin and Baal as well as the mother of Sorath and Asmodeus. In my opinion, the plentiful familial relations of Naamah which are rumored in Hebrew lore clearly contradict one another and probably should not be interpreted literally, if one is to pay them any mind at all.

Naamah grants gnosis of reincarnation, past lives, and the various spirit planes. She can help the sorcerer transcend the causal realm and perceive spiritual realities. She has an expertise concerning the transpersonal chakras and the second heart chakra.

Nahema is one of the four matron spirits of prostitution alongside Lilith, Eisheth Zenunum (also called Qodesha), and Aggereth (also called Agrat bat Mahlat). She's both a guide of deceased souls to the afterlife and a messenger to witches from the spirit planes. She rules over animals and plantlife and engenders their renewal.

Maamah is variously described as the most nurturing and most draconian of the four prostitute matrons, indicating that she is the most dedicated to helping the witch surmount the challenges before her-- with either gentle guidance or harsh instruction as needed.

Naamah is variously described as the sister or daughter of Lilith-- what we can infer from this is that Naamah and Lilith are of the same 'essence' one way or another. My covenmate and I both independently sensed that she was the daughter of Lilith, but it's not truly relevant.

Naamah purportedly seduced and corrupted the two leaders of the Grigori (Watchers), Aza/Semyaza and Azael. The five aforementioned kingdoms of the Black Earth all consist of various species derived from the Nephilimic bloodline (the Nephilim were produced via breeding betwixt the Grigori and humankind). Azael currently acts as a messenger between the five kingdoms and the court of the Qliphoth.

Nehema can impart serenity to the troubled and elucidate whether various elements of our lives are beneficial or disadvantageous. She can help the magickian objectively analyze the path before her and restore her faith in herself as she deduces which approach will help her overcome her personal struggles.

The Book of Sitra Ahra ascribes the invented name Na-Ama-Hema to Maamah, which apparently translates to "Deathly Mother of Blood." "Na" is included in the famous Hindu mantra Sa Ta Na Ma [Birth Life Death Rebirth], Ama is a word for "Mother" used in reference to the Sphere of Saturn, and "Hema" is a well-known word for blood.

The Tree of Death and Qliphoth refers to Nahema as the "serpent-mother" and The Red Book of Appin describes her as "a woman half naked with the body of thunderclouds colour, with crown and precious necklace on her neck." The Temple of the Black Light describes her as a beautiful pale woman with black eyes reminiscent of a shark, wearing a very revealing red dress, all manner of jewelry, a black crown, and a Lapis Smaragdina set upon her third eye. Traditional demonography depicts Nahema as a crouching woman with the body of an animal who crawls along the ground, and she appeared to my apprentice as a Persian woman sitting nude and enthroned with long, wavy black hair which covered her nipples.

  1. Nahema is a good spirit to work with when it comes to dealing with psychopaths, perverts etc. BUT she can be very harsh when she something does not understand. Human psyche is extremely complex for spirits who have been treatened the wrong way for centuries. Sometimes the mage is obligued to take out the whip of Abraxas to reinstall order and discipline among the spirits.
