[This blogpost is an excerpt from the foreword by Rowen Gardner for the upcoming 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition hardcover DRACONOMICON BY JOSHUA FREE.]
“Joshua Free is famously known for proposing the origins of Druidism as Mesopotamia… This theme is sure to catch many folk off guard and has been a constant source of contention between the author and many of his harsher critics and less informed readers. There is little doubt that it is a shocking or surprising…
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 MAGICby 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!

“Here [in Babylon] is real death. Not a column or arch still stands to demonstrate the permanency of human work. Everything has crumbled to dust. The very temple tower, the most imposing of all these ancient constructions, has entirely lost its shape. Where are now its seven stages? We see nothing but a mound of earth – all that remains of the millions of its bricks. Here the ancient mysteries and their tombs have been sleeping quietly for millenniums. In a few months, perhaps in a few days, the ground will be broken by trenches as in a battlefield. And the repose of the poor dead will be disturbed by the frantic search for records and data…” ~ Edward Chiera, “They Wrote On Clay”
From a letter to his wife
Before Babylon—when history had not yet been written—the land now known to modern man as the “Middle East” was first…
Earliest attempts at understanding ancient Mesopotamia were made by “Assyriologists” of the late 19th and 20th century. These included: E.A. Budge, Edward Chiera, L.W. King, S.L. Noah Kramer, Franqois Lenormant, R.C. Thompson and L.A. Waddell among others. Their renderings have already received long-standing public attention for those who sought it. The variegated cultural influences and often violent history of Babylonia left a confusion of names, titles and images–all of which required over a century to flush out to any practical ends, by scholars and mystics alike.
Origins for the scientific field-name of “Assyriology” are derived from French excavations at the city ruins of Khorsabad, Nimrud, Nineveh, Sippar and Lagash (Telloh) in the 1840’s. However, a true scientific pursuit was ignited when the royal library archives of the Assyrian king Assurbanipal were discovered. Thousands of clues, in the form of cuneiform tablet writings, illuminated a prehistoric legacy formerly thought of as completely forgotten and never again salvageable.
Then, in the 1880’s, German archaeologists unearthed Babylon…
In 2008, a revolutionary esoteric underground organization known as the “Mardukites” appeared, publicly visible, and a completely new breed of next generation “Esoteric Assyriologists” emerged on the scene—one that would not blindly accept the given data from their predecessors—at least not at face value.
The Mardukite Core – (Necronomicon Version)
For over a decade this diversely organized research group sought out the most ancient writings rendered on clay tablets from Babylonia—now available to the public as a complete collection in Joshua Free’s “Necronomicon: The Anunnaki Bible” (also released in paperback as “The Complete Anunnaki Bible”). These writings demonstrate an integral link directly between our origins and the remaining evolution of human civilization. Our chosen method and the resulting clarity revealed concerning the identity, nature and progression of this incredible subject matter show undeniable superiority to what was previously available. But, that is what we call progress
(much needed for this field).
The Mardukite approach to reconstructing the Babylonian vision begins with first revealing the incredible misnomer that the field of study has endured far too long, for essentially, the applicable term “Assyriology” is a lie. It is not even semantically correct for our current pursuits of analysis using the same physical evidences brought to light by late 19th and early 20th century archeology. The name questionably applies to the field at all! And although some early scholars acknowledge this grave misrepresentation of the science, it has as yet gone unchallenged in contemporary academics.
George G. Cameron explains in his foreword to Edward Chiera’s “They Wrote on Clay” (1938):
“Few there are indeed who know that the name of our science, ‘Assyriology’ is based on an accident—the fact that the first large group of texts ever discovered were written in Assyrian. Assyrian itself is but one dialect.”
Misapplication arises with use of the term to denote study of any and all ancient cuneiform-using cultures. Mardukites do not propagate this blatant disregard for the political and spiritual history of Mesopotamia. Although cuneiform-literate and sharing a similar “Anunnaki” tradition, the Assyrians were actually northwestern foreigners to Babylon. The two are not
the same.
True esoteric analysis or mystical application is absent from the earliest academic-archaeological pursuits. These efforts mainly emphasized the recovery and accumulation of translatable materials, much of which are not yet coherently transliterated into English language even a century after their discovery. Most materials readily available to seekers during the pre-mardukite era of research and development are severely fragmented, confounding itself in the information relay.
In spite of the best (or worst) human efforts across time, the Truth has survived to remind us of our origins, to instruct us on where we have to go and perhaps, most importantly, the standards we should live by to get there. Mere survival of Secret Doctrines by select cabals is not enough. For as the world was once plummeted into Dark Ages only to be reincarnated in an Age of Enlightenment, the “esoteric” truth did not resurface in public “exoteric” consciousness—in fact, it went the other direction: underground and into vaults of obscure “occult” factions…
We are entering the second active decade since the public modern Mardukite inception—ten years have now passed by since materials from the “Mardukite Core” started circulating privately among the Mardukite Research Organization (Mardukite Chamberlains). Anthology volumes comprising this comprehensive “core” esoteric research library are now available from the new Joshua Free Publishing Imprint as a 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Hardcover Trilogy—including original source book, NECRONOMICON: THE ANUNNAKI BIBLE, its companion GATES OF THE NECRONOMICON: THE SECRET ANUNNAKI TRADITION OF BABYLON and the concluding volume (release: May 30 2019) as NECRONOMICON-THE ANUNNAKI GRIMOIRE: A MANUAL OF PRACTICAL BABYLONIAN MAGICK.
The complete “Mardukite Core” library collection is a revolutionary “New Age” advancement in authentic historical, spiritual and mystical research drawn from a unique unparalleled combination of archeological findings and esoteric mystical-magical traditions. A wellsprings of hidden information and cuneiform tablet translations awaits the seeker—drawn from ancient folds of forgotten lore: Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian, Assyrian, Chaldean, Egyptian, Yezidic, Zoroastrian and more. A holistic research-intensive path, rooted in the heart and soul of humanity in Mesopotamia, is laid out clearly for the “Truth Seeker” to see—in its pure and undefiled state.
In the midst of this, now in the 21st century, the “Mardukites” are a very real modern philosophical and meta-spiritual “New Thought” movement aligned specifically with the Anunnaki paradigm (sometimes equated to “Mesopotamian Neopaganism”).
In ancient Babylon, this was famously founded upon the followers of Marduk—recognized among the local pantheon as patron of Babylonian tradition and “King of the Gods” for this branch of the Mesopotamian mythos with special assistance by the Nabu priesthood of “Mardukite” scribes…
“Yet—maps are not the journey—and while many are called; few are chosen. This path, although marked in signs and beacons, is not clearly or widely tread. This pure undefiled Self-Honest journey to the Source is not a path of the masses—and even those esoterically-inclined have many times retreated from its fundamentals and antiquated semantics, returning to more familiar veils and shadows run rampant throughout modern “New Age” movements.”
