2025 Year-In-Review: Book News, Joshua Free Retires From Public to Ascension Hermitage, New Admin Staff at Mardukite Academy, Systemology and CyberVamps Media

This year, 2025, while 300-million Americans woke up to find themselves in a country dictated by quasi-soviet style fascist planet-hating fake-Christian nationalists (uniquely obsessed with what genitalia 1-percent of the population has between their legs), many other spiritual developments, professional transitions and personal transformations took place in the underground realm of ‘Mardukite Zuism’ and ‘NexGen’ Metahuman Systemology and our brand-specific pathway of Spiritual Ascension Technology.

—- For Mardukite Academy Grade-I.
This year we issued a new oversized hardcover textbook anthology combining all six parts (both trilogies) of the ‘Elvenomicon’ (‘Elven-Faerie’) material by Joshua Free as THE COMPLETE ELVENOMICON. (See original news brief HERE.)

—- For Mardukite Zuism and Academy Grade-II.
This year we witnessed the first new addition to the ‘Mardukite Core’ (concerning ‘Mesopotamian Neopaganism’ and related research) in nearly a decade. The long-lost much anticipated collaboration by Joshua Free and Kyra Kaos was finally released in hardcover as PRIESTESS OF BABYLON — and in a pocket-sized ‘new standard zuist edition’ paperback as ANUNNAKI PRIESTESS. (See original news brief HERE.) This material also appears in a new collected works anthology titled BABYLONIAN WICCA.

—- For Mardukite Zuism and Academy Grade-III.
Since the debut of ‘Liber-One’ in late 2019, THE TABLETS OF DESTINY REVELATIONS has always been considered the definitive ‘bridge’ connection between ‘Mardukite Zuism’ and ‘Mardukite Systemology’ materials by Joshua Free. This year, the title was officially incorporated into ‘new standard zuism’ with the pocket-sized paperback edition as ANUNNAKI WISDOM. (See original news brief HERE.) This is the second Systemology publication to officially share the ‘Zuist’ platform; the first time being transcripts to ‘The Power of ZU’ lecture series, also available as WHAT IS MARDUKITE ZUISM.

—- For Mardukite Academy of Systemology Grade-V.
This year we issued SYSTEMOLOGY-180X, a new oversized hardcover ‘Complete Grade-V Master Edition’ textbook that includes the final ‘systemology core research volumes’ (that serve as the direct precursor leading up to ‘new standard systemology’). This new anthology includes ‘Systemology-180’, ‘Systemology: Backtrack’, and ‘Fundamentals of Systemology (Basic Course)’, all in one volume. (See original news brief HERE.)

—- New Standard Systemology and Mardukite Academy Upper Levels Released.
Since the 1990s, Joshua Free promised to deliver a complete systematic methodology of ‘Metahuman / Spiritual Ascension’; a promise that has now finally been fulfilled! Originally released as 33 individual parts (and various collected volumes), ‘new standard systemology’ reflects the final work and ‘magnum opus’ by Joshua Free. These titles include: FUNDAMENTALS OF SYSTEMOLOGY; THE COMPLETE PATHWAY TO ASCENSION; SPIRITUAL TECHNOLOGY; and THE COMPLETE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM. But now, for the very first time, all 33 parts are also available in one single oversized 1000-page hardcover as THE COMPLETE SYSTEMOLOGY WIZARD COURSE. (See original news brief HERE.)

—- Joshua Free Disappears From Public View.
In August 2025, having completed his public work and an outline for ‘Metahuman / Spiritual Ascension Technology’ as his magnum opus (see above), world renowned underground mystic and philosopher, Joshua Free, retired from public engagement. After a decade of underground experimental work with various participants in order to establish ‘new standard systemology’, he took up solitary permanent residence at the rural-remote ‘Systemology Ascension Hermitage’ in order to fully apply the work directly and personally to himself. (See original news brief HERE.)

—- Mardukite Academy News: On-Site Campus Closure.
Due to security concerns amidst the new political, social and cultural climate facing America, the ‘Mardukite Academy Campus’ ceased all on-site instruction this year. All training is now handled remotely, using the available textbooks published and other outlines available from blog posts and in the books. The last officially filmed lectures presented by Joshua Free to the Academy may currently be found on our Mardukite YouTube Archive. (See original news brief HERE.)

—- New and Old Administrative Staff Unite for 2026.
Perhaps front and center of the 2025 changes and transitions concerns new and returning administrative staff of ‘Mardukite Borsippa HQ’ that are presently responsible for the continuation of the Mardukite and Systemology online presence, management of ‘JFI Publications’ (the ‘Joshua Free Imprint’). For example: this mardukite.com blogpost is prepared and uploaded by the current administrative staff on behalf of Joshua Free. We have every intention of maintaining and expanding Joshua Free’s legacy with the utmost integrity.

—- ‘CyberVamps Media’ Gets New Representation, Revitalization, with New Steward.
Most recently, the dormant ‘CyberVamps Media’ brand is receiving new stewardship from the up and coming creator ‘DJ Jennarra’ a.k.a. ‘Jennifree_the_Valkyrie’. This announcement was accompanied by a collaborative ‘electronic dance music remix set’ between ‘DJ Jennarra’ and Joshua Free, emerging from retirement on Halloween (Samhain) 2025, to appear one final time as ‘DJ Nabu’ in order to pass the torch. (See original news brief HERE.) A new series of books are also planned for future release as a combined effort between ‘CyberVamps Media’ and ‘JFI Publications’.

Using Ancient Mesopotamian Religion to Reshape Modern Wiccan Tradition

** NEW RELEASE **
BABYLONIAN WICCA
(A Practical Beginner’s Guide):
Using Ancient Mesopotamian Religion to Reshape Modern Wiccan Tradition
A collected works anthology featuring works by Joshua Free and Kyra Kaos
Edited by Rowen Gardner

“Babylonian Wicca: A Practical Beginner’s Guide” provides everything someone needs to establish their own personal Babylonian Wiccan tradition-either as a solitary practitioner, or with others in a group. Experienced Wiccans will, of course, have the option of simply accenting and enhancing their own preexisting tradition. However, this book is appropriate for introducing the entire subject of Wicca and Mesopotamian Religion to a newcomer, or a beginner, that is still just starting to explore these subjects for the first time.

This special collected works “Babylonian Wicca” anthology premier edition combines three underground classics edited together in one volume for the first time:

Sumerian Religion: Introducing the Anunnaki Gods of Mesopotamian Neopaganism by Joshua Free;

Priestess of Babylon: An Account of Ancient Mesopotamian Religion From a Modern-Day Practitioner by Kyra Kaos writing with Joshua Free; and

The Witch’s Handbook: A Complete Grimoire of Witchcraft (The Book of Shadows) by Joshua Free writing as Merlyn Stone.

There is no expectation that a reader of “Babylonian Wicca” is already familiar with the subjects contained-whether the “Anunnaki” deities, the “land between the rivers” in the Ancient Near East, or the structure of modern “Wiccan” tradition. It is in this sequence that Rowen Gardner edits together the data for this anthology:

— starting with “Sumerian Religion” to introduce the Anunnaki pantheon of Sumerians and Babylonians;

— then “Priestess of Babylon” to describe beliefs and practices as they originally appeared in ancient Mesopotamia;

— and finally, “The Witch’s Handbook” where we see how the Old Ways evolved into a formula useful for crafting modern traditions of paganism.

The lore contained within “Babylonian Wicca” drawn from Ancient Near Eastern cuneiform tablets, the original native writings on planet Earth describing the actions and attributes of their deities. This Anunnaki pantheon is quite special to the ancient world and quite far-reaching; because it influenced the nature of other later emerging “celestial” mythologies thereafter and the entire structure of understanding “gods” and “goddesses” in the very first historical civilizations.

Mesopotamia is also unique its union (or absence) of Divine “sex/gender” characteristics. We find both a god and goddess (as a “Divine Couple”) representing aspects like the Moon and Sun, rather than polarizing them. This is just one of the many major implications when developing modern “Babylonian Wicca” traditions for the New Age.

Rekindling Light in Dark Months with 90’s Witchcraft and Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows

It may very well be that, politically and medically, we have recently experienced some of the darkest months of the current age… and the winter season being upon us, we often seek to rekindle the Clear Light during this time of the year. Many ancient traditions allude to such practices, visible signs found even today among neopagan revivals of “Imbolc” (Imbolg) or “Candlemas” and even “Groundhog’s Day” as we approach February Eve.

Among many efforts to rekindle this Magical Light during the Dark Months, as we begin the 2021 year, the Joshua Free Imprint has scheduled two amazing editions for release on February 19, that are sure to keep your flames burning as we confront the new challenges of the year and begin new phases of work in Mardukite Zuism and Metahuman Systemology toward creating the ultimate post-modern, post-human, future we want right here on Earth!

Two New Hardcover Editions Coming Soon! On February 19, 2021…
–THE WITCH’S HANDBOOK: A COMPLETE GRIMOIRE OF WITCHCRAFT (Unpublished 1998 Manuscripts) by Joshua Free writing as Merlyn Stone, edited and introduced by Rowen Gardner.
–NOVEM PORTIS: NECRONOMICON REVELATIONS AND NINE GATES OF THE KINGDOM OF SHADOWS (Mardukite Liber-R9) by Joshua Free, foreword by Rowen Gardner.

Once intended a sequel to “The Sorcerer’s Handbook” by Joshua Free while writing as “Merlyn Stone” in the 1990’s, his “notebooks” composing the historically legendary “1998 Book of Shadows”-and eventually “The Witch’s Handbook”-were only released privately to members of his own Coven operating in Colorado, and other groups he networked with, during a peak period of development for the modern “New Age.”

Among the many facets explored within these pages, you will also encounter the complete structure of the original century-old “Book of Shadows,” illuminated for the first time with a new revolutionary never before published presentation of concise descriptions and references that uncover influential behind-the-scenes sources of many contemporary Wiccan and traditionalist Witchcraft movements. Rites of Initiation, Consecration Rituals, Tools, Herbs, Sabbats, Ceremonies, Ritual Magic, Spellcraft… It’s all here!

From the Key of Solomon, to the Rites of the Golden Dawn and OTO, to the Aradian Gospel of Witches, to the relatively modern innovation of a “Neopagan Eightfold Year” by three men: a Druid (Ross Nichols), a Magician (Aleister Crowley) and a Witch (Gerald Gardner); an underlying story unfolds beneath and back of the 20th Century Witchcraft revival and no stone or pentacle is left unturned in this effective, yet candid, complete practical guide to the true “Arts of Witchcraft.”

Long-standing and returning fans will celebrate the release of The Witch’s Handbook as the “missing link” of a once proposed “Merlyn Stone” trilogy from the 1990’s, which includes “The Sorcerer’s Handbook” and “The Druid’s Handbook”-both of which have been widely accepted in the underground “New Age” scene already. This special premiere edition is dedicated by the author to Fairuza Balk and, as a bonus, features Joshua Free’s tribute to “The Craft” movie, including his previously unpublished treatment of its practical witchcraft as “Nancy’s Book of Shadows.”

The original classic underground bestseller by Joshua Free returns to print, commemorating its 10th Anniversary with a special hardcover collector’s edition that is sure to become a prized addition to your personal esoteric library.

A refreshingly coherent revelation for our times, illuminating long-lost remnants of primordial spirituality, ancient Mesopotamian religion, Sumerian Anunnaki mythology and a hidden mystery tradition developed during a nearly-prehistoric Babylonian era of magic and Otherworldly encounters.

From original Anunnaki traditions to the origins of all worldly and metaphysical systems; from the Yezidic and Persian lore of the Ancient Near East to the past century of underground occult traditions inspired by Aleister Crowley and Kenneth Grant; from the archetypal themes present in the “Delomelanicon” to the experiences of the millions of people who have read, or even used, Simon’s Necronomicon… No cuneiform tablet is left unturned, no dark corner left undiscovered, in this amazing and concise guide to the forbidden knowledge lost thousands of years ago, and yet now covertly infused within the heart of all “magick,” “religion” and “spirituality” on the planet today.

In Novem Portis: Necronomicon Revelations and Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows, world renown director of the “Mardukite Research Organization” and founder of “Mardukite Zuism” and the Systemology Society invites the Seeker on an incredible and practical occult journey into underground esoterica, unlike anything ever published before. Joshua Free candidly reveals how “spiritual beings” and “alien intelligences” have increasingly influenced the imaginations of “metaphysical” writers and “fantasy” artists, primordial “gods” seeking to have their stories told and knowledge of their existence reborn. And what’s more: the power and influence of this invisible hand appear to be behind all of the primary systems installed into human civilization, whether social or mystical, since the time of the ancient Sumerians.

This collector’s edition hardcover 10th anniversary edition of Novem Portiscombines materials from the revolutionary and controversial “Necronomicon Revelations” (Liber-R) with the Mardukite Tablet Catalogue released in “Liber-9,” just as it appeared a decade ago for the first wave of graduating “Mardukite Chamberlains” alumni, those having previously dedicated two years to a tradition of literary work and spiritual systemology inspired by Joshua Free’s “Necronomicon: The Anunnaki Bible.
