The Eleven Powers Qliphoticos of Tiamat (second part)

Snakes and Dragons

By "vipers" researchers often refer to three types of snakes, which are mentioned in Babylonian sources, they are: Bašmu, Mušuššu andUšumgallu. The "dragon" is most likely Mušmahhu, the serpent-dragon Babylonian myths .

Bašmu The word can refer to two types of mythological serpents, one of them called "the venomous snake" or usum / Bašmu is interpreted sometimes nothing more or less like the mythological serpent man's natural enemy. The other is known as "The Birth of the Serpent Goddess" or Mus-Sa-tur / Bašmu and was a type of horned serpent. Bašmu often described as a horned serpent and no end. It can also be a cobra with horns. There are also theories that describe it as a horned serpent with wings. His name is sometimes translated as "The Horned Serpent with a uterus" and is related to a constellation which was then known as the snake. After Marduk overcame Tiamat, Bašmu became one of the symbolic animals of God Ningishzida, chthoniana entity that resides in the underworld, and was regarded as a protective entity. Ningishzida sometimes appears in human form, with two horned serpents emerging from his shoulders. The image of the creature can be derived from the horned viper cerastes calls, an animal that lives in the desert, with horns on their eyes.

In magical work, the image of this entity frequently appears as a flying serpent, or golden brown, with small horns and limbs, sometimes with wings, sometimes without wings, but always high in the air planning. Seems to be a mediator between the principles of fire and water and can provide the practitioner with the ability to fly in the air, gives invisibility and teaches how to use the inner eyes to see the world around you. When the practitioner invokes the spirit in your body and in your mind, the astral form changes and there are glimmers of golds, two snakes emerge from their shoulders entwined around his forehead and expanding their consciousness. When used to Bašmublack intern, then collect a few drops of poison fangs and dump them in the third eye of the victim. The results often include accidents with severe blood loss and cuts from sharp objects.

The visions while working with such entities often primal cosmic order of the universe before the appearance of life, immersed in sunlight black, blood falling over all creation, or the opposite: the destruction of the world in a great fire. This may be connected with the spirit of Thagirion Black Sun, the central Qlipha the Kabbalistic Tree of Night, but this is only a possible association.

Another Mušuššu snake is known as the "Snake Furious" and is sometimes depicted as a creature made ​​with parts of snake, lion and bird.It is associated with various gods and various mythological characters, first Tišpak Ninazu and then with Ningishzida. It is also associated with the symbolic animal of Marduk. It is also connected with astrological constellations. His description below, shows the creature as a lion-headed dragon and without claws. Then the lion parts were replaced with parts of snakes. In mythology Mušuššu Ninazu originally served the god, the king of snakes and was a messenger of death, murdered by poison. She used to be known as "a murderer intrepid" and an entity so mortuary. In the astral work in this spirit, it is often seen as a feminine entity vampiric nature, connected with the powers of necromancy and death, that feeds on blood and sexual energy. It usually appears as a black dragon or bat shaped like a winged serpent. She provides the practitioner with the ability to transform his body astral shadows and fly through the astral plane as a ghost, a vampire can suck winged life force of a sleeping person. This concept highlights the nature or incubica sucubica and its connection with the demons vampires living on the dark side of the moon, the sphere of Gamaliel Qliphotica. From this comes the possible connection with this Qlipha. An offering Mušuššu are natural sexual fluids or blood. The invocation is experienced as a bitter-sweet union, the union of the powers of life and death, Eros and Thanatos. The snake comes to bite the practitioner, which becomes erotic, ecstatic, weakening the body and filling the hungry mind the essence of the lives of others. The spirit, can be used in practice vampirism and necromancy, magic works lunar or astral wars. The symbol of spirit must be projected on the eyebrows, that opens the third eye and help astral vision.

The third creature is Ušumgallu, which is often identified as a winged dragon. Sometimes this is confused with Bašmu creature and its attributes are uncertain. The word is a derivative Ušumgallu usum, which literally means "The Principal Poisonous Snake", his most outstanding quality is that he is a determined to kill, kill mainly with their venom and terrifies even the gods.

In magical work, Ušumgallu often appears in the shape of a golden dragon or winged serpent golden. It provides the practitioner with the ability to use magic fire, both to purify and to destroy. The fire is attached in his hands and the practitioner pass through the astral plane and touching the subtle body of the person chosen to purify the energy of the person, such as a healing purpose, or to be used for destructive purposes, for example to burn the victim's life force. When invoked, the spirit enters the body and mind, causing the aura shine and astral body assumes the shape of a dragon. The practitioner can use a dragon mask, painted gold to attract the spirit into the temple of the flesh. The spirit sometimes appears as a cobra, dancing and hypnotizing the practitioner with his movements and with glowing red eyes. Bite the third eye and fuses with its core staff, the center of all existence. When working with this organization, sometimes the astrological symbol for Jupiter appears in visions. From this comes the possible association with Qlipha Gha'agsheblah, level connected to these planetary influences. But this is only a possibility.

The group of snakes Tiamat's monsters also include the snake-dragon Mušmahhu, is often described as a seven-headed snake or a dragon with seven heads and is identified with the constellation Hydra. For this reason, it is another creature Ningishzida associated with the god, is sometimes titled "The Great Serpent-Dragon", and was represented as a horned, winged, serpent-dragon, and walking on all fours. From a magical perspective, the spirit seems to have the power of astral poison, the poison can be fatal but can also be used as magical protection and immunity. It appears as a horned serpent and holding her blind eye in its jaws, also appears as a snake with one eye. The eye burns and shines in a red and is connected to the third eye and inner vision. Also, seems to be an entity of female nature. When invoked, it enters the mind and provides the practitioner with the ability of astral shape change. For a time, the practitioner can become a serpent, rising to the highest cosmic space, it can also become spider climbing the Tree of Knowledge, and in another moment a butterfly drinking juices tree flowers. The practitioner's astral form becomes hot and this is the energy of the spirit. The concept of tree or garden is recurrent in the insights gained during work with Mušmahhu, as dark portals or tunnels in the ground, which seem to be portals to the astral worlds where the practitioner can find the snake goddess. Their jaws are the caves of the earth, your teeth are sharp rocks your esophagus are the underground tunnels. Here, the possible correspondence with the Tree of Night may have to do with Lilith Qlipha, the lowest level of Qlipoth, whose function is to door across.
