On Samhain (Halloween) 2020, for the first time ever since its underground debut in 2008, THE GREAT MAGICKAL ARCANUM by Joshua Free will be available to the public newly revised and in hardcover!

The ultimate book of Magick for all Magicians, Priestesses and Wizards of the 21st century! Collected writings and research spanning a quarter of a century are combined to present the most complete guide, reference and course curriculum of “magick”—a unification of magical systems and metaphysical knowledge, ancient and modern—a spiritual, mystical and esoteric legacy of legendary renown, surviving from the “Ancient Mystery School” that speaks relevantly to us today. Classic underground materials composing nearly 1000 pages in total are expertly arranged for Truth Seekers in what many consider the definitive “Tome of Magick.”

A long-standing underground literary masterpiece by Joshua Free, this amazing “Master Edition” of THE GREAT MAGICKAL ARCANUM: A MASTER COURSE IN MAGICK FOR MODERN WIZARDS is now also newly enhanced with the complete text from The Sorcerer’s Handbook of Merlyn Stone to provide additional structure for a Seeker as they navigate the hundreds upon hundreds of related subjects, histories, thought experiments and rituals that comprise the complete Mardukite Master Course for “The Route of Magick & Mysticism.”

This new edition of ARCANUM now completes the four-volume 2020 “Master Edition” hardcover library collection!

Over a decade since its limited underground release, THE GREAT MAGICKAL ARCANUM remains a unique literary contribution toward a harmonic unification of esoteric knowledge that has received many names throughout the ages: magickal, occult, pseudo-scientific and now, even quantum.

A rise in technology and this recent “information age” has provided a wellspring of metaphysical lore, but it is not often mutually synchronous with other knowledge, or even other New Age systems, due to specific vocabulary usage and semantics. “New Agers” separate their sects and factions in the same manner as scientists and religious officials, and human society (as a collective) has not been progressing towards global unity as quickly as we could. All of our developments and paradigms of truth continue to grow and prove themselves only when isolated within the system in which they were designed.

But, with “The Great Magickal Arcanum”—this all changes!

This new innovative presentation of Joshua Free’s GRADE-I MASTER COURSE IN MAGICK FOR MODERN WIZARDS requires that you have immediate access to supplemental information on any given facet of related knowledge. This is indicated in the text by the appearance of “links” or bold-faced type that prompts you to explore other specific parts of the book for additional clarification. This design allowed the author the ability to cover more topics in a tighter space without having to be unnecessarily repetitive in reprinting the more common aspects.

THE ORIGINAL SUMMER SOLSTICE 2008 RELEASE OF ARCANUM AND LAUNCH OF MARDUKITE ZUISM (MARDUKITE MINISTRIES)

THE GREAT MAGICKAL ARCANUM: A MASTER COURSE IN MAGICK FOR MODERN WIZARDS is not to be mistaken as simply another “A-to-Z Occult Encyclopedia” or even some superficial discourse concerning “where science and magic meet.” In fact, this text was not originally written for the true beginner in mind and its scope surpasses practical magick alone. However, now with the new addition of the Sorcerer’s Handbook of Merlyn Stone as an introduction—and included within this same volume—this edition of ARCANUM can most certainly meet these needs as well, providing the most accelerated occult curriculum ever published!

The unique presentation allows THE GREAT MAGICKAL ARCANUM to be effectively studied—and even used—with any flavor of personal background or one’s own preexisting developmental stage. With sufficient time, determination and practice, the Seeker works through the entire body of esoteric knowledge, beginning first with the facets of their own individual liking, and then continuing on with the remainder of entangled material, which you will find to be coherently interconnected, not simply clumped together to construct this massive textbook.

THE ORIGINAL 2008 SUMMER SOLSTICE ARCANUM RELEASE AND FOUNDING OF MARDUKITE ZUISM (MARDUKITE MINISTRIES)

Throughout history a uniquely separate class of individual has existed on the edges of known reality, bearing a great magickal secret. Some have come to call these folk “Wizards” or “Mystics,” the possessors of the “hidden” or “occult” knowledge of life and the universe. They alone bring the obscure and “invisible” properties of existence into the light, albeit rarely upholding contemporary norms. And while there has been an observable increase of interest in such topics progressively in recent past, the walls concealing a unification of the secret knowledge from the “Ancient Mystery School” have far from collapsed..until now!

Following in the shadows of several decades of a “New Age Movement,” if you have still been waiting for the ultimate archetypal Tome of Magick to finally arrive… your waiting is over!

The Original SORCERER’S HANDBOOK – “Merlyn’s Stone’s” Underground Occult Classic! 1st Time in Hardcover!

The classic occult text from the 1990’s New Age underground returns, revised and reissued, by Joshua Free, first writing as Merlyn Stone, in this special 21st anniversary collector’s edition hardcover of:

THE SORCERER’S HANDBOOK
A COMPLETE GUIDE TO PRACTICAL MAGICK

“A Book That Changed The World…”

…setting the stage, in 1998, for Joshua Free’s future inception of the modern Mardukite movement, Mardukite Druid School and the NexGen Systemological Society!

A “sorcerer” seeks to unlock the secrets of the Universe, questioning human-fashioned truths of the “world” to transcend the animalistic nature of homo ferox—literally “man, the ferocious” as coined in T.H. White’s “Book of Merlyn.” The sorcerer may essentially do and become anything. It is this removal of trust and attention from abstract deities and concepts, placing it rightfully with “Self” that allows such an actualized being to be potentially the most powerful “system” functioning on the planet… and potentially the most dangerous.

“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 “background”—ritual magick, spellcraft, high psychology and even ceremonial systems.”
–Joshua Free

From 1995 through 1999, Joshua Free assisted in producing not only several ritual collections—or “Book of Shadows”—for practicing underground groups, but also his own operating and experimental social circles, teaching workshops and lectures in local Denver-area New Age outlets and bookstores.

One of the popular workbook companions Joshua Free developed for his course on practical magick later expanded into the infamous Sorcerer’s Handbook by Merlyn Stone.

Simultaneously revolutionary and introductory in its delivery, SORCERER’S HANDBOOK—and early works such as THE DRUID’S HANDBOOK and DRACONOMICON—served as inspirational precursors to materials he later developed more thoroughly in order to establish the “Mardukite” brand of occult interpretation, including ELVENOMICON (formerly titled ‘Book of Elven-Faerie’), ARCANUM and remaining volumes of the ‘Mardukite Core’—such as NECRONOMICON: THE ANUNNAKI BIBLE and even the underground secret development of NexGen Systemology. It is due to the wider circulation of his more recently developed work that interests revived regarding early contributions and distant origins.

Over two decades after the fact, the Joshua Free Publishing Imprint am pleased to present these
works for returning fans and the next generation in a format prestigious enough to give true commemoration to the legacy of the SORCERER’S HANDBOOK OF MERLYN STONE—incorporating elements from all editions since produced, public and private—the end result: a collected works anthology of all surviving “Merlyn Stone” materials beyond even those restricted to the original Sorcerer’s Handbook proper—making this perhaps the finest edition of the Handbook ever to be released.

For nearly a decade, hardcover editions of this amazing “Mardukite” source book were available only to members and “friends” of the Mardukite Research Organization – but now the incredible materials from the fastest growing underground “new consciousness” / “new thought” movement of the “New Age” are now available in hardcover to the public for the first time ever, during our “Mardukite 10th Anniversary Reboot” just in time for the NexGen – a new generation of Truth Seekers discovering the revolutionary literature from Joshua Free’s “Mardukite Truth Seeker Press.”

The Original Underground Classic Returns!
Revised, Updated & Expanded!

NECRONOMICON : THE ANUNNAKI BIBLE
10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Hardcover
edited by Joshua Free
On Sale : October 30 (Samhain 2018)
Also available online with preorder price guarantees!
Clothbound Hardcover with Dustjacket
ISBN : 978-0-692-19010-4
Distributed to wherever books are sold!

This much anticipated hardcover release of an authentic and historically supported “Necronomicon” or “Anunnaki Bible” contains a complete collection of the oldest writings on the planet—a complete collection of translated “cuneiform tablets” from the heart of Mesopotamia, detailing accounts of the Sumerians, Stargates of Babylon, Anunnaki Pantheon, Ancient “Gods” on Earth, Igigi “Watchers” and “Angels” of Spirituality and Religion… A complete source book of the original and most antiquated written tradition of “mythology” and “magic” that later served as a template for all later mythoi and pantheons adapted by cultures around the globe throughout human history!

Make no mistake, Joshua Free’s “Necronomicon: The Anunnaki Bible” is not Simon’s Necronomicon, is not a H.P. Lovecraft short-story anthology, is not Zecharia Sitchin’s Lost Book of Enki repackaged as a new book… is not, perhaps, anything like what you may think or have had access to in the past. We see many of these words… “Necronomicon” or “Anunnaki Bible”… and we may assume that we know what is being represented by them. But even a casual exploration of the pages within “Necronomicon: The Anunnaki Bible” will reveal that this something amazingly fresh and beautifully coherent, satisfying the needs of our ‘information age’, whereby we are taking great lengths to uncover the lost and forgotten truths of humanity!

JOSHUA FREE has been actively involved in the underground “New Age” movement for nearly 25 years – since a teenager in the mid-1990’s, then known as “Merlyn Stone.” His first book on practical magick – “Sorcerer’s Handbook” – went on to circulate nearly 2000 copies by his 18th birthday. Joshua Free was also an apprentice of Douglas Monroe for many years, now “Bard of the 12th Chair” of the Druid Council at “New Forest Centre for Magickal Studies.” In addition to his more covert “Druidic” work, Joshua Free launched the modern “Mardukite” movement in 2008, which was quickly solidified with a “Necronomicon Cycle” of publications in 2009, now collected in a complete anthology known today as— “Necronomicon: The Anunnaki Bible.”

SECRET KNOWLEDGE – Mystical and Magical Origins of the Mardukite Legacy by Joshua Free

Years before the arrival of the NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE, the 2008 public inception of the modern Mardukite movement greatly derived from knowledge gleaned from previous materials by Joshua Free (including those written as “Merlyn Stone” in the 1990’s). The most fundamental of these – the ARCANUM – based in part on materials from the SORCERER’S HANDBOOK (recently available in its 20th Anniversary edition) and works now composing the DRUID COMPLEAT anthology by Joshua Free, including the DRACONOMICON and the BOOK OF ELVEN-FAERIE, the latter being once only available exclusively to members of the Mardukite “Inner Circle” of Chamberlains.

Joshua Free completed the work for BOOK OF ELVEN FAERIE in 2005, forming, in part, a premise to base a magical, mystical, spiritual and historically apt modern revival called: Mardukite. The book is quite enigmatic – the very concepts themselves being enigmatic and a true understanding required an entire re-evaluation of semantics and terminology so conveniently impressed upon the masses. It was then that Joshua Free set aside the idea of developing the Mardukite movement emphasis on the more accessible “Elven-Faerie” and “Druidic” paradigms, choosing instead to focus directly on “Babylon” – the literal heart of Mesopotamia – where it is clear that Anunnaki subjects and mysteries of the Ancient Near East play a more important role within the parameters that is ARCANUM (developed by Joshua Free in 2006 and released underground at the public inception of the modern Mardukite movement in 2008).

In the original plan, BOOK OF ELVEN-FAERIE by Joshua Free (in addition to any previously released volumes – SORCERER’S HANDBOOK, the DRACONOMICON and BOOK OF DRUIDRY by Joshua Free) was intended as “Outer Circle” (novitiate) materials, while the ARCANUM volume (introducing the ‘Mesopotamian’ Anunnaki “Mardukite” paradigm proper) would be ‘earned’ by initiates of the “Inner Circle” – what would later become known as the “Mardukite Chamberlains” (the active mystical arm of the “Mardukite Research Organization“). Work of this second inner group of initiates previously educated on the same “Mardukite” ‘baseline’ would emphasize the more distant and esoteric Egypto-Babylonian tradition – such as is reflected in the development what is now known as the ‘Mardukite Core‘ (this time based on the NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE edited by Joshua Free) developed from 2008-2012.

“The legacy brought forth by the ancient Mesopotamian world (and Egyptian for that matter) did not die with them or we would not have anything near to the world that we have today. Their influence remains true. One might believe (or prefer to believe) that since we no longer live under the same conditions and guises of our ancestors, that we have somehow been able to escape their Truth – that it could not longer have application for us. Such is clearly not the case, nor did things end entirely with the lore and sagas of the Sumerians and Babylonians and other desert dwellers in a forgotten world – no indeed.” – Joshua Free, from the introduction to “Book of Elven-Faerie.”

ARCANUM by Joshua Free, 10th Anniversary

As proposed in BOOK OF ELVEN-FAERIE – also found within the DRUID COMPLEAT anthology by Joshua Free – Mesopotamia was only the beginning. As time and geography took its hold onto the ancient source traditions, it… evolved! If it can be said that this ancient stream is indeed our well-spring of civilization – examined very intensely in the NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE – and if we are to try to seek the most complete “systems” that have been brought forth through time and space, there are no others that compare to both the beauty and current and functional revival relevance as the Druids. Druidism is just as misunderstood and just as often misrepresented as the mythos and magick of ancient Sumeria, Babylon and Egypt – and, as it turns out, is directly related via a “dragon lineage” that was seeded by a race that we can identify with as “Elves” or “Faerie” begun in ancient Sumeria and Eurasia and carried forth into the Western World by distinct tribes of Europe, evident all along the Danube River, and most famously surviving in the Celtic and British Isles.

What makes this lore and legacy “occult” or “esoteric” is the fact that it remains hidden from the public mainstream, though hidden in plain sight – yet ever in the shadows. It is this process of bringing that which is hidden into the “light” that mystics have resulted in sometimes calling “enlightenment” (and perhaps too literally so). Humans would seem to have lost a feeling or a memory that perhaps was at one time “second nature” or “innate,” linking their blood to the Earth Ways. Or, perhaps humans have not simply forgotten but chosen, albeit subconsciously conditioned to choose by society, to ignore this inner calling, to deny it to the point where it is no longer heard and to think about it is to be “insane.” …but the books of wisdom from the Ancient Mystery School have survived with us today and may be opened for all – if one but makes the decision to do so.

When you seek – you shall find.

The library of tomes made available by the “Mardukite Truth Seeker Press” will be there for you when you are ready!

SORCERER’S HANDBOOK | Pre-Mardukite Origins, Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible, Joshua Free’s Underground Secret

A decade before the 2008 public launch of Mardukite Ministries and publication of the complete Mardukite Chamberlains core NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE, Joshua Free’s debut work as “Merlyn Stone” rocked the underground New Age and THE SORCERER’S HANDBOOK revealed the precursor origins of Joshua Free’s later monumental literary masterpieces such as ARCANUM and THE DRUID COMPLEAT (including the famous BOOK OF ELVEN-FAERIE) and of course: NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE. The newly released 20th Anniversary edition of the SORCERER’S HANDBOOK even includes essays and articles from “Lost Books of Merlyn Stone” demonstrating origins of NexGen Systemological thought later contributing to such works as AWAKENING (SYSTEMOLOGY-101) and its companion REALITY ENGINEERING.

Joshua Free, the current director of the modern Mardukite movement, explains in the new release SORCERER’S HANDBOOK (20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION):

“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 “background” – ritual magick, spellcraft, high psychology and even the ceremonial systems. The two methodologies I was most concerned with connecting later work I planned to accomplish (now known as “Mardukite”) was Pheryllt Druid material of Douglas Monroe and also “Simon’s” Necronomicon. This was about as close as I could come to ‘mainstream’, and even these facets of the “New Age” had been enshrouded in misguided controversy and restricted recommendations from the more publicly elite and visible organizations and group leaders. “Members” of well known groups were explicitly told not to look into these materials, just as much as the current Mardukite work has seen its share of scrutiny and disapproval from the uninitiated.”

The materials developed by Mardukite Chamberlains as NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE far surpassed the scope and limited understanding available from the Simon Necronomicon alone. However, prior to the 2009 Mardukite NECRONOMICON cycle by Joshua Free, the former Simon work is all we had available for the decade prior, meaning the SORCERER’S HANDBOOK and original edition of ARCANUM. These early explorations later inspired Joshua Free’s Liber-555, a complete exploration into the Simon Necronomicon specifically. This circulated underground under many titles, but most recently available as CROSSING TO THE ABYSS (by Joshua Free) or within the Mardukite Chamberlains Year-4 Core anthology HISTORY OF THE NECRONOMICON (edited by Joshua Free).

Joshua Free offers advice for the true seekers of the “Necronomicon” in the SORCERER’S HANDBOOK (20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION):

“Simon’s Necronomicon contains no preliminary primer in the practice of magick offered, particularly concerning the Sumerian and Babylonian mythoi involved, so someone with no magickal (or cultural) foundations might have difficulty in simply opening it up and “using” it to its full potential. I would recommend obtaining a copy in addition to our “Necronomicon Anunnaki Bible” (edited by Joshua Free). While it may or may not be drawn from an actual collection titled: Necronomicon, the book does offer some practical applications of ancient magick, particularly incantations found on Chaldean, Akkadian and Babylonian tablets, such as those once housed in Borsippa, or those discovered in the royal library of Nineveh. Some of these have been dated to second millennium BCE. So therefore, it is important to understand, forsaking Lovecraftian fantasies if necessarily, that the Necronomicon as we understand it in the “occult world” today, is at the very least a symbolic embodiment of a mythos and ancient current of power that is very real and alive – even if only kept alive by obscure sects.”

…obscure sects… like the Mardukites.
