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.

It’s Official… America Is Now An Authoritarian Neo-Fascist Nation; House of Cards Reality Collapsing (Nabu’s Journal P3A2)


Greetings, Dear Friends and Seekers.

You would think that the ‘apparent solidity’ of all this existence denotes some greater degree of ‘realness’ for its ‘reality’. But such a description only applies to a world with a ‘black’-and-‘white’ nature of only extreme conditions. Our existence, the one we experience day-to-day, does not support that belief. Yet many cling to it. It is a matter of fact that our existence is a projection across an entire spectrum of grays and hues and quantum leaps of perturbed energies; and at its core, not very ‘solid’ at all (and actually quite ‘mercurial’).

In the Fundamentals of Systemology (New Standard Systemology Basic Course), one of the little known influences to early Systemology development is introduced: Charles Fort, author of ‘Book of the Damned’ (1919). In it, he essentially open with the words that “By ‘the Damned’, I mean the Excluded” and that…

THE EXCLUDED WILL SOME DAY BE THE EXCLUDING.

Of course, the literal context Fort was referring to was ideas and data that the mainstream (authorities) had ‘Excluded’ – and then further existential allusions of ‘beingness‘ in general; but we would be hard pressed to objectify such conceptions as separate from the individuals that create and carry them…

It would be all too easy to quote the entirety of Fort’s first chapter (and it is something worthwhile to review and meditate upon). Certainly some will be able to read between the lines.

What is happening now? Well, personally, it is of great comfort that I completed the work I set out to make available after so many years of writing (among other things necessary to the visible work). That work is referred to a “New Standard Systemology” and is supported by an entire library of my formerly published works.

IF IT WASN’T FOR ANTI-FASCISTS IN THE 1940s: YOU, YOUR PARENTS, YOUR CHILDREN, WOULD ALL BE SPEAKING GERMAN.

It is no coincidence that the written, published or broadcast “word” is often the last shred of stability and wall of resilience maintained by a suppressed culture under rising rule of authoritarianism. It is a gray day when bookstores accurately relocate classic “dystopian sci-fi” literature to “current event” shelves.

And it is something that current generations have not experienced before in America (often conceived of as these ‘Divided States‘ during this Second American Civil War unleashed publicly by ultra-conservative ignorance-fueled MAGA-culture during a traitorous insurrection on January 6, 2021), but of which has been swelling to spread even wider in this unusually technocratic age.

Authoritarian control of ‘free speech’, ‘free press’, and ability to ‘soap box’, is destruction of the last line of defense between a ‘free state’ and a ‘fascist regime’… and it has happened now in America.

And while it seems like a bit of 20/20 hindsight at this point, let’s just take a moment to intellectually review the other lines of defense that have fallen. It’s not a matter of my opinion, but of intelligence — and just maybe where you might want to put your attention if you hope to have a habitable country in 400 days.

For example, Lawrence Britt (a historian) studied the fascist regimes of our past and present (including the authoritarian examples of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Pinochet, and Suharto) and he found fourteen “characteristics of fascism” that they all held in common. So, what are they?

  1. Powerful Continuous Nationalism.
  2. Disdain for Recognition of Human Rights.
  3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause of Problems.
  4. Supremacy of the Military.
  5. Rampant Sexism.
  6. Obsessive Emphasis on National Security.
  7. Religion and Government are Intertwined.
  8. Protection of Corporate Power.
  9. Suppression of Labor Power.
  10. Disdain for Intellectuals, Scientists and the Arts
  11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment.
  12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
  13. Fraudulent Elections.
  14. Controlled Mass Media.

While it would be easy to point out the current-affair examples for each of these, such is not my intention in this discourse. It has never been my goal to ‘tell’ people what to think, or ‘how’ to think — and my Systemology work is simply a way of clearing the field in order to be ‘able’ to think.

ONLY A TRULY FASCIST AUTHORITARIAN REGIME WOULD OPENLY DECLARE THAT ANTI-FASCIST SENTIMENTS ARE PUNISHABLE TERRORISM.

So many individuals believe they are ‘thinking clearly’ and this is probably more dangerous than the simple fact that they are fragmented. At least in our Systemology, an individual is aware of the programming that is engaged in daily life. They work to improve themselves by improving their control and handling of emotional flows and thought.

Where else are we finding efforts to improve living conditions for everyone, without exclusion?

I haven’t seen it.

Maybe before they try pushing people to breed more, they might consider what environmental conditions they are subjecting the living to.

Then they seem surprised and insulted when the abused — and ‘Excluded’ — fight back.

Well. For many, it certainly does get harder every day not to just say:

FUCK ‘EM.

ACADEMY CAMPUS SHUTTERS, Fait Accompli, Joshua Free Relocates to Ascension Hermitage

In the Summer of 2020, the Org established a campus for the ‘Mardukite Academy of Systemology, led directly by Joshua Free, a mystic philosopher and author of over one hundred books. This campus allowed our founder and visionary leader the forum and space to not only complete the work necessary for ‘The Complete Mardukite Master Course’ (spanning his extant literary career at that time), but also to reach the pinnacle apex of his life’s goals with The Complete Systemology Wizard Course.

Joshua Free teaching at Mardukite Academy of Systemology (The Fundamentals of Systemology Basic Course)

During the five years (2020 – 2025) of its operation, Joshua Free delivered literally hundreds of lectures to students and Seekers at the ‘Academy’; most of which were recorded and transcribed (some of which were video recorded and even appear on the Mardukite YouTube channel). In addition to the courses listed above, Joshua Free’s ‘Academy Lectures’ directly served as the basis for such titles as ‘Imaginomicon’, ‘Way of the Wizard’ and ‘Systemology Backtrack’.

Many readers and underground figures are familiar with the more marketable and contemporary contributions Joshua Free made to the New Age, such as his work on Pheryllt Druidism, Practical Magick, and even Mesopotamian Neopaganism (as presented as Mardukite Zuism or in the guise of a Babylonian ‘Necronomicon’ or ‘Anunnaki Bible’). However, fewer individuals have taken the opportunity to explore the research and development that this earlier work was actually funding, which is to say, ‘New Standard Systemology’. Few understand what it even is.

Mardukite Systemology is a new evolution in ‘Human’ understanding concerning the “systems” governing Life, Reality, the Universe and all Existences. It is also a Spiritual Path used to transcend (go beyond) the ‘Human’ experience and reach True Ascension. ‘New Standard Systemology’ courses are intended to assist advancing a Seeker’s personal progress toward the upper-most levels of the Pathway.

‘New Standard Systemology’ is the ‘magnum opus’ — the ‘great’ and ‘final’ work — by mystic philosopher and prodigious metaphysical teacher Joshua Free. It is composed of 33 (thirty-three) parts in its entirety, each available individually or as anthology volumes with various parts. (All 33 parts are also available within a single oversized 1000-page hardcover textbook titled: The Complete Systemology Wizard Course’.)

Systemology Ascension Hermitage @ Mardukite Borsippa HQ

Given the times being what they are under the current fascist regime in America, and the fact that Joshua Free no longer acting as director for the ‘Mardukite Academy’, we, the Mardukite HQ Administrators, have decided to officially shutter the doors and bar the gates to the campus August 1, 2025, closing it off from the public for repurposing and to increase security.

Now that Joshua Free has officially relocated to the ‘Mardukite Systemology Hermitage For Ascension’, all ‘Mardukite Academy’ learning will now be handled remotely, at-a-distance, and by correspondence. Various steps and stages will develop and occur over the next 18 – 24 months to streamline the use of JFI Publications to supplement independent learning and home-study.

While working towards his own metahuman metaspiritual Ascension and permanently separate from the material body, Joshua Free has assured us that he will be making regular reports in the form of audio recordings that will be intended for various audiences. These installments (called Nabu’s Journals) will be released and/or transcribed as needed and directly publicly or through the appropriate channels.

Now is the time to get on the Pathway to Your Own Ascension.

Now is the time to Rise Above.

Now is the time.
