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–THE WITCH’S HANDBOOK: A COMPLETE GRIMOIRE OF WITCHCRAFT (Unpublished 1998 Manuscripts) by Joshua Free writing as Merlyn Stone, edited and introduced by Rowen Gardner.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.

Invoking Power of the Sumerian Anunnaki – Babylonian Magic and Mesopotamian Neopaganism

Raw Power. Real Magic. Primordial. Nearly Forgotten… The path of true Babylonian magic is a spiritual dedication to the Sumerian Anunnaki, a path once seemingly inaccessible—beyond our reach and understanding. Get ready… Because for this first time in thousands of years… The “New Age” path of Mesopotamian Neopaganism is in reach and ready to be understood!


Rediscover the most ancient magical system on earth within the Mardukite Year-3 cycle, secretly recorded on cuneiform tablets thousands of years ago in Mesopotamia! PRACTICAL BABYLONIAN MAGIC by Joshua Free includes revised and rewritten materials from “Magan Magic–the Enuma Elish,” “The Complete Book of Marduk by Nabu,” “The Maqlu Ritual Book” and “Enochian Magic & the Kabbalah” all in one volume! Esoteric hardcover collector’s edition also available as Joshua Free’s NECRONOMICON-THE ANUNNAKI GRIMOIRE, or in the newly revised NECRONOMICON: ANUNNAKI SPELLBOOK (POCKET EDITION) that abridges materials specifically from “The Complete Book of Marduk by Nabu,” and “The Maqlu Ritual Book.”


The most ancient pure streams of mystical practice differ greatly from those more “Western” approaches popularly revived in modern “New Age” and metaphysical movements. Occult revivals tend to emphasize a focus only on elements that can be superimposed onto existing forms of modern magical practice or the esoteric obsession with obscure and popular “grimoires” that yield their best results in the form of self-delusion and thought-forms born from mental masturbation. Commonly, the seventh tablet of the Enuma Eliš—“Fifty Names of Marduk”—(Mardukite Tablet-F) is revived in exclusion to the remaining lore, isolated as a modern “spellbook” or short-cut variety to tapping the total power of the greater “Mardukite” Mesopotamian legacy.

Several modern occult “writers” have demonstrated that the “Grimoire of Fifty Names” may be successfully employed by operators for strictly ceremonial magic forms of “spellcraft”—much like the more famous derivatives of the same: such as the Goetia or Keys of Solomon, which for all intents and purposes are rooted in a “Judeo-Christian” paradigm, and are not authentic “pagan” texts. Any real universal power exercised from the Fifty Names is activated by the preceding six tablets, demonstrating an older and more “priestly” methodology than what is traditionally prescribed in modern occult reconstructions. As a spiritual prerequisite, the six preceding tablets directly correlate to the first six gates that bring the seeker to the footsteps of Marduk for initiation and the opportunity to observe him as “Patron of Babylon” and King of the Anunnaki gods.

Since the modern inception of Mardukite tradition, a main tenet of the paradigm is repeatedly professed—the spiritual and magical abilities are not ends in themselves, but rather results from a true and faithful “Self-Honest” relationship with Anunnaki beings and the cosmic wisdom they definitely guard.

Invoking the “Incantation of Marduk”—or “Incantation of Eridu,” as it is also called, is among the most prominent and widely revived aspects of the ancient Babylonian (Mardukite) tradition. But be aware that doing so strengthens a spiritual connectivity between the practitioner and this specific ancient, raw, and powerful alignment to the Anunnaki. Magic of this tradition is a “holy magic,” originally reserved to a select group that maintained “higher” understandings of the universe and mythic symbols used to represent this knowledge. It definitively invokes powers of the Anunnaki by “birth-right,” calling on the ancient “covenant” alleged to be “sworn between the gods and man.”

The authentic ancient concepts defined by the ancient “Mardukite” ideal in Babylon is revived today in spirit of work produced by the Mardukite Chamberlains (Mardukite Research Organization)—a group of specific individuals seeking to free humanity from the spiritual and intellectual slavery that keeps us from the Truth, and as a result has kept many of us from a true Self-Honest spiritual evolution. Yes, we are “chamberlains” and stewards of an ancient mystery tradition, but we serve the cause “on commitment” and in dedication to the “Highest,” not as some arbitrarily observed idol-worship in the name of Marduk—which is a commonly made mistake by outsiders and purely academic archaeologists. What’s more—at its most abstract and fundamental level: modern Mardukites seek to prepare the “House of Marduk” and “Temple of Heaven-Earth” as one-to-one with the Self, the Earth and the Cosmos—All-as-One!

SORCERER’S HANDBOOK – “Merlyn Stone” Legacy 20th Anniversary, Early Origins : Arcanum and Mardukite Necronomicon by Joshua Free

The SORCERER’S HANDBOOK OF MERLYN STONE returns for a special 20th Anniversary commemoration after this underground cult classic reached thousands of copies in circulation! …and as a fan-appreciation bonus, this deluxe edition is publicly available at the original 1998 retail price!

Prolific author, underground occult expert and founder of the modern Mardukite Anunnaki movement — JOSHUA FREE — reveals unique details about developing this amazing work as a teenager in the 1990’s, writing as “Merlyn Stone” at the forefront of the new millennium “magick” scene:

“During the 1990’s, public interest in ‘magick’ and ‘occult’ subjects exponentially rose to new heights as few could have anticipated. I appeared on the “New Age” scene – however much ‘underground’ – in 1995 as ‘Merlyn Stone.‘ As I have explained to others and in my recent autobiographical narrative, NABU SPEAKS!, the name was chosen for personal reasons and not as a tribute to the female author (Merlin Stone) of whom I had not even heard of at that time. My research revealed that ‘Merlyn‘ is not really a proper name, although it has been used to refer to particular figures (or a figure) in history, it is actually a title – a Welsh title – that can be best equated to what you might know as a seer or prophet. The contemporary reader may be more familiar with the Judeo-Christian religious context of the title, which in Hebrew is nabih, derived from the Babylonian name: Nabu – a name that many know me as today.”

“As far as I could observe, however, it was 1995 that provided the largest shift. I took a step back, observing the wide-angle, and I saw the prominence of the newly released motion picture The Craft coupled with Sabrina the Teenage Witch as the featured ‘after-school-special’ of the day. Clearly the coast was clear and it was time to come out – come awake!”

Merlyn Stone
(Joshua Free)

“While I was not alone in hearing this ‘call’, the work I had to do – the program I was here to follow – was not something readily understandable to the population – even a “New Age” one. The plans were laid before I ever showed up in this life, but patience was key as was watching for the signposts and keeping my head down. It was going to take everything to bring the work to the heights it can now be found in, but in the 1990’s, the world was not ready for what I had to say concerning the origins of ‘magick’ and the “Mardukite” legacy, so I had to start at the beginning – to build a basis – to work from the foundation rock or stone.”

“All of my original ‘writings’ related to the occult field were actually the subject of ‘in-house’ materials prepared for working groups and research oriented studies that I was personally involved with – and often the ‘founder’ of. I began this work publicly in 1995 and it has now been over twenty years since – half of my current existence. It has taken many forms, though it was easiest for me to begin with that which would be most familiar to my target demographic: esotericists, occult practitioners and the up and coming alien youth that usually had inclinations toward the “New Age” naturally.”

“In 1995, the world was not ready for MARDUKITES. I worked within the paradigms that were much more accessible and did not require a lot of ‘cultural background’ – ritual magick, spellcraft, high psychology and even the ceremonial systems. Additionally, two methodologies I was most concerned with connecting later planned work (now known as “Mardukite”) were Pheryllt Druid material of Douglas Monroe and also “Simon’sNecronomicon, rooted in Mesopotamia.”

“From 1995 through 1999, I assisted in producing not only several ritual collections or ‘Book of Shadows’ for practicing underground groups but also led my own operating and experimental groups and even taught workshops and gave lectures in local Denver-area bookstores and New Age outlets. The sum of all this was collected as the SORCERER’S HANDBOOK OF MERLYN STONE, with additional materials later produced and known now as the Lost Books of Merlyn Stone. Some of these later notebooks and contributions were commissioned for private use or small groups, but even all these twenty years later, some of the records still remain and I have chosen to append them to the traditional presentation of the SORCERER’S HANDBOOK for this twentieth anniversary presentation.”

“Simultaneously revolutionary and introductory in its presentation, the SORCERER’S HANDBOOK OF MERLYN STONE is the inspirational precursor to the materials I later developed more thoroughly in order to establish the “Mardukite” brand of occult interpretation
– mainly ARCANUM: THE GREAT MAGICAL ARCANUM, BOOK OF ELVEN-FAERIE and NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE. These other works represent a more mature development of my contributions from early adulthood, but the Sorcerer’s Handbook of Merlyn Stone and the Lost Books still remain as distant origins to my more recent and better recognized work.”

For centuries, the realm of magick has been sought, and finally what the world awaited for has arrived; a book that tells it all without the unnecessary occult jargon allowing for the quickest personal results in training and development. Just a few of the many topics explored are ritual spellcraft, candle magick, ceremonial high magick, tarot divination, the magick of the Golden Dawn, the complete Enochian arts and yes, even the Necronomicon! Now you can master the powers of magick with a book that has changed the world, launching hundreds of traditions in over a decade! — SORCERER’S HANDBOOK – 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
