The Book of Maklu of the Burning of Evil Spirits

HERE are the Banishments, the Burnings, and the Bindings handed down to us by ENKI, the Master. They are to be performed over the AGA MASS SSARATU by the Priest, with the appropriate images as described herein. The incantations must be recited after the Watcher has been summoned, and he will do the deeds set down for him by the incantations. When he returns, he is to be dismissed as set down previously. Know that, when images are used, they must be burned utterly, and the ashes buried in safe ground where none may find them, else to touch them would mean death.

Know that the Evil Spirits are principally Seven, for the Seven Maskim who tear away the heart of a man and mock his Gods. And their Magick is very strong, and they are the Lords over the shadows and over the depths of the Seas, and reigned once, it is said, over MAGAN, whence they came. The banishings, or exorcisms, are to be pronounced in a clear voice without trembling, without shaking. The arms should be held over the head in the attitude of a Priest of SHAMMASH, and the eyes must behold the Spirit of the God SHAMMASH, even though it be the time of the Sleeping of SHAMMASH behind the Mountains of the Scorpion.

No word must be changed. These must not be shown to any but the properly instructed. To show them to anyone Other is to ask the curse of NINNGHIZHIDA on yourself and upon your generations.

The Book MAKLU of the Burnings: THE EXORCISM OF THE CROWN OF ANU The Priest, in time of peril, shall put on the spotless white crown of ANU with the Eight-rayed Seal and stand in the prescribed manner with the Tablets of Calling on his breast and the copper Dagger of INANNA in his right hand, aloft. For, it is said, if a man builds a fire, does he no build it in a Pit, that he might not be harmed thereby? Thus is it true of the UDUGGU we call, for they are like Fire and every caution must be used lest they consume the magician and his entire generation. Thus, the Exorcism of ANU I have put the Starry Crown of Heaven, the potent Disk of ANU on my head That a kindly Spirit and a kindly Watcher Like the God that hath made me May stand at my head always To life me to favour with the Elder Gods UDUGGHUL ALLACHUL MALLACHUL MASQIMCHUL DINGIRCHUL No Evil Spirit No Evil Demon No Evil God No Evil Fiend No Hag Demon No Filth-Eating Demon No Thieving Demon No Shadow of the Night No Shell of the Night No Mistress of the Demon No Offspring of the Demon No Evil Spell No Enchantment No Sorcery NO EVIL IN THE WORLD OR UNDER IT OVER THE WORLD OR INSIDE THE WORLD MAY SEIZE ME HERE!

I am plagued with pain because of illness. I stand upright, I cannot lie down Neither during the night nor during the day. They have stuffed my mouth with cords! They have closes my mouth with grass! They have made the water of my drink scarce. My joy is sorrow, and my merriment is grief. Arise! Great Gods! Hear my waiting! Obtain justice! Take notice of my Ways! I have an image of the sorcerer and the sorceress, Of my enchanter and enchantress. May the Three Watches of the Night dissolve their evil sorceries! May their mouths be wax, their tongues honey. The word of my doom which they have spoken, May they melt like wax! The spell that they worked, may it pour away like honey. Their knot it broken! Their work destroyed! All their speech fills the deserts and the wastes According to the Decree which the Gods of the Night have issued. It is finished. ANOTHER BINDING OF THE SORCERERS (Take a cord with ten knots. As you recite each line of the incantation, untie one knot. When this is finished, throw the cord into the flames and give thanks to the Gods) My images have you given over to the dead; turn back! My images have you seen with the dead; turn back! My images have you thrown to the side of the dead; turn back! My images have you thrown to the ground of the dead; turn back!
