Mardukite Research into Grade-IV Systemology Continues at Babylon Outpost at Borsippa HQ

Against all odds and in the face of the ever-changing shape of the world, the advanced secret work — to extend upper-level Mardukite Systemology through Grade-IV and beyond — continues through winter at the “Babylon Outpost” (newly relocated to Mardukite Borsippa HQ from the former Babylon R&D site 11 miles away).

October 2020 marked the year anniversary of the public inception of the Mardukite Academy & Systemology Society — previously operating only in the underground with membership composed of long-standing Mardukite Alumni. This marks one year since the publication of the original Grade-III Mardukite Systemology text by Joshua Free: THE TABLETS OF DESTINY and its companion, CRYSTAL CLEAR — now commemorated with the release of the first official Grade-IV textbook: METAHUMAN DESTINATIONS: PILOTING THE COURSE TO HOMO NOVUS.

The former Mardukite Research Organization (now the Mardukite Academy & Systemology Society) began a migration of its operations to the San Luis Valley (Colorado) in 2017 with acquisition of the original 5-acre R&D site named “Mardukite Babylon” (and later referred to as “Eridu” being our first established presence in “SLV,” now that the main HQ has been relocated).

Joshua Free delivers a 48-lecture “Master Course” to the Mardukite Academy commemorating completion of the “Master Grades” and founding of Borsippa HQ… and they are now all available on CD!

By the age of 25, Joshua Free had already written the Draconomicon and Sorcerer’s Handbook, Druid’s Handbook, Elvenomicon (formerly “Book of Elven-Faerie”) and The Great Magickal Arcanum among countless other unpublished notebooks…

If we consider the early teenage work that began in 1995 with the Draconomicon, then 2020 actually marks Joshua Free’s Silver Anniversary — 25 years active in the esoteric underground and New Age community.

Joshua Free first launched “Mardukite Ministries” (Mardukite Zuism) underground at age 26 — then dedicated the next decade of his life to the “Mardukite Research Organization.”

The work of the “Mardukite Chamberlains” is now collected in total within the Master Edition volume released in 2020NECRONOMICON: THE COMPLETE ANUNNAKI LEGACY.

The ongoing quest continues with the new work presented to the Mardukite Academy and the relentless research and discovery pursuits of the Systemology Society to help carry humanity to new heights in the 2020’s.
STAY TUNED.

New Era of the Crystal Dawn Begins! Beltane Gate 2020 (Part One) – Druidry, Mardukite Zuism & Systemology Archive

OVER TEN YEARS AGO the newly formed band of “Mardukite Chamberlains” (“Mardukite Research Organization”)—members of the underground “spiritual,” “occult” and “esoteric archaeology” community—received instructions during meditation for a synchronized global meditation working that would unleash a “New Age” of global consciousness on planet Earth toward the reconstruction of the “Anunnaki paradigm” in everyday life and the establishment of a “New Babylon” order in dedication to the “New Thought” principles of human potential and spiritual evolution gleaned from the most ancient tablets on the planet… and that was back in 2009…

Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism: A Master Course in Druidry for Modern Druids by Joshua Free (2020 Master Edition, 7 books in one)

Here we are in 2020 and we take a moment to look back on the legacy of Beltane both ancient and modern in this miniseries of blogposts!

“The Belteine or Beltane festival is named such after the ‘Fires of Bel’ or ‘Belinos’—most likely a remnant of Bel Marduk or known elsewhere in the Canaanite mutation of ‘Baal.’ It was actual on the dawn of an ancient Belteine when the Tuatha d’Anu arrived in Ireland and set fire to their own ships. The most commonly known tradition of May Day is the ‘May Pole’—a symbol of the ‘World Tree’ that is traditionally danced around while weaving ribbons hung from the top. ‘May Day’ is, of course, May 1st, though the festival begins the night before—on May’s Eve—with the construction of two large bonfires built side-by-side, which are then consecrated to Bel before set aflame. Ancient Celts marched their cattle in procession between these two flames as they led them out to pasture for the year. Some evening observances may be held, however this following rite is typically observed at noon.”
—from The Elven-Druid Grimoire contained in The Elvenomicon by Joshua Free, also available in Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism.

It is in many ways possible that proto-Druid and Celtic observations of “Beltane” resulted from the most significant event of the ancient nearly prehistoric legacy: the arrival of the Tuatha d’Anu (or Tuatha de Dannan) in Western Europe.

“Lore suggests that the ‘Children of the Stars’ [Tuatha d’Anu] arrived in Keltia on ‘Beltane’—May’s Eve—approximately five thousand years ago. The race or clan was socially represented by four primary ‘leaders’ or ‘warriors,’ each from a different city or capital in their ‘homelands’—wherever this might be, as the subject turns to the domain of legend…”
Druid’s Handbook by Joshua Free, also available in Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism.

“They [Tuatha d’Anu] arrived there on Beltane (May Day or May’s Eve) ‘concealed in a magical fog or mist.’ While the European mainland lay off to the East and South of Ireland, the Tuatha D’Anu arrived from the North and West of the Island, settling first in the mountains of Western Ireland. This led many to believe they were the ‘People of the North’ or that they came from somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. But, their ships, on the other hand, were said to be of a “sky-nature,” which somehow caused an uncanny solar eclipse for the first three days of their arrival…”
The Elvenomicon by Joshua Free, also available in Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism.

Beltane is an unusual festival or annual cross-quarter event that is literally called the “Fires of Bel” or “Bel-teine.” The name “Bel” for “lord” or “god” being an obvious import from the Ancient Mystery School. In Celtic and Druidic tradition, this festival stood apart from all of the others as the most supreme “Fire Festival” in Keltia, observed with a bonfire, which could only be ignited by the most esoteric means:

“Many scholars today are of the mind that the Druid’s Gem ‘no larger than an apple’ was manufactured from glass—a substance linking the item to both the Motherhood of Avalon, residing on the ‘Isle of Apples’ (alternatively, the ‘Isle of Glas’ or ‘Glastonbury’) and the Welsh alchemical Druid fire-workers—the ‘Pheryllt.’ It has been further suggested by certain scholars, notably Lady Flavia Anderson in ‘The Ancient Secret,’ that the original serpent’s eggs were spheres of clear crystal used to light the Druidic Beltane ‘needfires’ via focused sunlight.”
Druid’s Handbook by Joshua Free, also available in Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism.

In nearly all cultures that observe it, the annual Beltane threshold on the eve of May is a bridge between worlds, a critical doorway or bridge that greatly mirrors the significances held in regard to Samhain—taking place in “earth-time” exactly opposite in the year on the eve of November. In fact, a note regarding this even appears in The Draconomicon by Joshua Free (also available in Merlyn’s Complete Book of Druidism), stating “Although these types of evocation seem typical of Samhain, esoteric lore also indicates that the Beltane Gate is actually more accessible from “our” side, at the exactly opposite “peak” of the year.”

Secret Traditions of Elves, Faeries, Druids and Dragons; Druidic Trilogy by Joshua Free Reveals All

The Druid's Handbook, Elvenomicon and Draconomicon by Joshua Free

A critical year in the literary legacy accounting for the Secret Traditions of Elves, Faeries, Druids and Dragons preserved in the classic underground Druidic trilogy by Joshua Free, first begun in the mid-1990’s while still writing and contributing toward the underground New Age developments as “Merlyn Stone.”

Joshua Free on Mardukite Necronomicon, Sumerian Magick & Remembering Tracy Twyman These writings have directly influenced thousands of people over the past decades, indirectly even millions, and most overtly leading to the inception and development of the Mardukite Research Organization and the evolving NexGen Systemological Society of Esoteric Philosophers.

ELVENOMICON -or- SECRET TRADITIONS OF ELVES & FAERIES
15th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Hardcover

by Joshua Free


Joshua Free’s paramount Druidic trilogy demonstrates the definitive DRUID CONNECTION to the totality of western civilization–including its magical traditions, philosophies and systematization of society and intellect. The legacy runs deep, crossing diverse and controversial pathways that have led the author into dangerous territory for many years.

Elvenomicon by Joshua Free, Discover Hidden Worlds of Elves and Faeries

In 2008, coinciding with the inception launch of the modern Mardukite movement, material by Joshua Free specifically from DRACONOMICON and what is now called ELVENOMICON (formerly ‘Book of Elven-Faerie’) caught the attention of two underground individuals– Nicholas de Vere and Tracy R Twyman –both influencing the earliest revival interest in matters of intensive controversy and conspiracy that have now become everyday household concepts, including “the Dragon Legacy” or “Merovingian Mythos” and other aspects later popularized in mainstream media such as the “Da Vinci Code.”


JOSHUA FREE’S WORK IS COMMONLY EXPLOITED BY POPULAR TV AND RADIO SHOWS WITHOUT HIS RECEIVING RECOGNITION AND WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY SUPPRESSING EXPOSURE TO HIS DEEPER WORK as briefly brought to light when recently interviewed on Michael Decon’s live End of Days program.

Joshua Free / Nabu / Merlyn Stone What is it they don’t want you to know from his books ???

JOSHUA FREE’S PREVIOUS INVOLVEMENT IN THE NEO-DRUID COMMUNITY SINCE 1995 HAS ALSO BEEN A SOURCE OF CONTENTION AMONG SUPPOSED NEW AGE AUTHORITIES and yet all of his most controversial historical theories were scientifically confirmed this year as new DNA evidence reported from Europe in April 2019.


Elvenomicon -or- Secret Traditions of Elves and Faeries by Joshua FreeELVENOMICON, even as a stand-alone title, represents a powerful tool advancing spiritual technologies on the planet as a literary knowledge-key, once only available to the initiated, used to unlock forbidden truths of esoteric archaeology including:

–How traditions of the Ancient Near East evolved into mythical, mystical and societal systems in Europe.

–How the forgotten arcane legacies of Elven-Faerie and even “Dragon” races on Earth have shaped the Western world and “Western magical tradition.”

–How modern folk-magic and “New Age” revivals may be traced back to coincide with evolutions in Human civilization marked by specific ancient migrations.


Draconomicon: Book of Ancient Dragon Magick by Joshua Free DRACONOMICON reflects some of the oldest writings by Joshua Free still in print from the “Merlyn Stone” days, newly revised and rewritten for its 25th Anniversary hardcover collector’s edition.

The Dragon Legacy is an important and integral part of the history and traditions of all cultures, and subsequently underlies all cultural magical traditions–not to mention symbols and motifs that lie beneath the development of human civilization as a whole. Nothing is separate. And this is one of the lessons we learn from The Dragon–that everything is connected together and we cannot see things in exclusion to other things if we are to see things, with Self-honesty, for how they truly are–another gift of The Dragon.

“Hidden in the depths of the Dragon’s Lair is an untold legacy of knowledge and power, secret societies and bloodlines, cults and symbols encompassing our entire material existence–and the means by which it can be controlled. It is quite possible this is among the best kept secrets in the history of occultism, even enshrouded in a cacophony of grand conspiracies. And in its most ancient forms, it is the undefiled, raw and primordial Truth of things–just as we would expect the Druids, wizards and sages of old to understand them. And with understanding comes wisdom.”
–Rowen Gardner in the Foreword to Draconomicon

Druids Handbook: Ancient Magicks for a New Age by Joshua Free Drawing upon over two decades experience in the neodruidic community, Joshua Free’s original underground masterpiece returns to life, newly revised and expanded for this amazing 20th Anniversary presentation. THE DRUID’S HANDBOOK by Joshua Free is a superior addition to any modern Druid Library.

Providing a new vision with unparalleled clarity for modern Druidry, world renown occultist and mystic, Joshua Free explores the magic and deep teachings of Druidic Lore, including core doctrines and codes, triad teachings of the Bards, natural philosophy, the construction of ritual tools and performance of ceremonial magic involving the elements, trees and forces of Nature–all of which is presented in honor of the true spirit of authentic Druidism.
