The Cauldron of the Sages.

IT IS WORTH including a rather lengthy excerpt on the Grail Stone, from L. A. Waddell. It pertains to the Bowl of King Udu, which he claims was none other than the Cauldron of the Sages. This was a mystical bowl which was to be placed underneath the Holy of Holies in the central temple at Nippur, where the DurAnKi was housed. It probably was associated with the DuKu mound, noticed elsewhere in DUKU and Atonement. We shall start this off with a short extract from that controversial grimoire, The Necronomicon, which speaks of it, in a very important ritual. It speaks of the Lost Bowl, the Shattered Bowl of the Sages, etc. We are convinced that under the proper circumstances, this Bowl, or the Grail Stone, or perhaps even Crowley's Egg, could be utilized to effect a species of opening the gateway, as it were. Therefore, we will not give any more information pertaining to the practical side of the matter, because this is dangerous territory, and those who are interested can always find the rest for themselves were they foolhardy enough to try it. We assume no responsibility, legally, or karmically, for anything anybody does, pertaining to this subject. There is enough Mystery still left open to us in THIS world, that we do not need to bother ourselves (or anybody else) with other worlds, or the spaces between them all.

"Prepare, then, the bowl of TIAMAT, the DUR of INDUR, the Lost Bowl, the Shattered Bowl of the Sages, summoning thereby the FIRIK of GID, and the Lady SHAKUGUKU, the Queen of the Cauldron." -- Necronomicon, Urilia Text, Abominations, p.. 186. Note: We use the Avon Edition. [This might be similar to the bowl presented in Waddell, Makers of Civilization in Race and History.]

L.A. Waddell gives us an interesting, though extremely bigoted, narrative concerning the Bowl of the Sages. This is from The Makers of Civilization in Race & History (1929 e.v.), Chapter 5, pages 88 - 101. Some might wonder why we would be so outlandish as to quote the entire chapter, but we feel that its perusal shall reward the interested scholar, as long as one can view it with equanimity, and recognize it as the product of the times it really was. By our publication of this material, we remind the reader that we in no way endorse Aryan superiority, indeed, the Celts were superior to the Aryans. The Sumerians, the Cabiric or native races, as Yarker termed them in The Arcane Schools, were much more directly influenced by the Giants (or Cyclopean Races), the Rephaim, or Anakim, or Nephilim. And these, contrary to popular paranoia, weren't Nazis.

"UDU'S STONE BOWL ('HOLY GRAIL') CONTEMPORARY GENEALOGY OF FIRST SUMERIAN DYNASTY IN AGREEMENT WITH INDIAN LISTS, KISH CHRONICLE & NORDIC EDDAS. Disclosing Original 'Holy Grail' of King Ar-Thur, the Magic 'Cauldron' of Thor, and the oldest known Historical Inscription in the World. The identity of the first four Aryan kings of the Indian lists with the first four Sumerian kings of the main line in the Kish Chronicle is now strikingly confirmed by the actual contemporary record of the genealogy of those kings, which I find is inscribed on the war-trophy sacred Stone-Bowl of the first Aryan or 'Sumerian' king by the fourth king of that main line who was the great-grandson of the first king himself. The genealogy here recorded is not only in agreement with the Kish Chronicle, but is confirmed by the older Sumerian King-Lists and by the Indian lists and the Nordic Eddas.

KING UDU'S STONE BOWL AS 'THE STONE CAULDRON OF THOR' & 'THE HOLY GRAIL' OF THE HISTORICAL KING AR-THUR.

This sacred trophy Stone-Bowl of the first Sumerian king Ukusi or Dur (or Tur) is inscribed and dedicated to the latter by his great-grandson King Udu of Kish City, the fourth imperial king of the First Aryan Dynasty. And it is now disclosed as the actual material original of the famous vanished 'Holy Grail' of King Ar-Thur, and the famous war trophy magical stone-bowl or 'cauldron' captured from the weirds at the Well of Urd (Urudu) by Her-Thor as detailed in the Nordic Eddas. It was unearthed in a fragmentary condition, but with its inscription practically intact, by the Pennsylvanian University expedition from deep down below the foundations of the central tower of the oldest Sun-temple in Mesopotamia at Nippur, on the old channel of the Euphrates south-west of Babylon, where it had been deposited by this fourth king and great-grandson of King Dur, Thor, or Ar-Thur about 3245 B.C., at a spot which has been personally inspected by me. And this fragment of this famous magic bowl bearing that inscription is now in my possession.

PRE-HISTORY OF THE MAGIC STONE-BOWL OF KING DAR, DUR, OR SAGG, KING HER-THOR OR AR-THUR WITH KING UDU'S INSCRIPTION.

This famous magical Stone-Bowl of King Dar or Dur or Sagg or Sakh, the large fragment of which was inscribed by his great-grandson Udu of Kish with the genealogy of the latter back to that first king and deposited by him beneath the central tower of the oldest Sun-Temple in Mesopotamia at Nippur, is frequently referred to in early Sumerian sacred literature as one of the most celebrated war-trophies captured by that first king. And significantly it is specially associated therein with the first Sumerian king under his Sakh title (earlier Sagg) as written on this Bowl, that is the Sig title of Thor in the Nordic Eddas. Thus the first Sumerian king under his Sakh title in the Bilingual Sumerian and Babylonian glossaries (wherein Sakh is shown to be an equivalent of Sagg or Sa-ga-ga and of Adar of the later Babylonians) [Adar we shall find is a Babylonian form of In-dar; but it is also found as a form of one of Thor's titles in the Nordic Eddas. (Waddell footnote)] is called 'The Lord (or King) Sakh, UGU the king of the Precious Stone, the Hidden Vessel of Kish Land, the King of that Hidden (or Disappeared) Vessel.' And it is also called 'The Serpent-Stone-Vessel' see below.

This Bowl is disclosed by our new evidence to have been the central fetish magical stone-bowl of the aboriginal Chaldaean Serpent-worshippers. They violently opposed the establishment of King Dur or Sagg's Civilization with its bland Sun-worship which destroyed the immemorial debasing superstitions of those Serpent and Lion worshippers, with their animal and human sacrifices of devil worship and their swarms of wizards and weirds of that Mother-Son cult who battened on and terrorized the people, yet the latter nevertheless implicitly believed their sorceries as the Serpent and Lion were the totems of their tribes.[Waddell, of course, though Scottish, probably supported the Hanoverians, and generally regards the Usurper to be superior to the Native. He also debunks and downgrades Tibetan Magick and Mysticism, including the excellent Kalachakra, which is merely a debased system of demonolatry and superstitious mummery, while the blandness of the Aryans is of course superior, and undoubtedly the protestantism of John Knox as well.]

The capture of this central fetish bowl of that Serpent-Lion cult is thus celebrated in a Babylonian copy of a fine old Sumerian hymn; wherein the later Babylonians have made Adar the son of King Sakh instead of himself.

"The tooth of the Lion, and the Mighty Serpent of Ilu, thou (Adar)
removest, making (them) to turn away from the land.
Adar, the king, the son of the god King Sakh, has caused (them) to
turn unto themselves.
He is the warrior whose lasso overthrows the foe.
O Adar! the fear of thy shadow inclines towards the world.
He assembles his people in strength to invade the hostile land.
Adar the Warrior who knows not fear has driven away the pest.
The strong Darru before whom the foe exists not,
Adar, manly exalter, who makes joyful his side,
as driven the chariot over the mountain, has scattered wide the
seed.
Men altogether have proclaimed his name for sovereignty over them.
In their midst like a great wild bull has he lifted up his horns.
The Shu (Vessel) Stone, the precious [stone of the Chaldees],
the strong stone, the Serpent-Stone of the mountain-stone,
That Warrior --- the Fire Stone [Cauldron] too --- the Hero has carried
off to the city."

The Nordic Eddas also celebrate repeatedly the capture of this Stone-Bowl by King Thor, who also bears therein the title of Adar and Sig 'the Victorious' (i.e. a dialectic form of the Sumerian Sagg or Sakh as seen below); and significantly he also bears therein the prefixed title of Asa 'Lord or King,' just as Sagg in this Bowl bears the prefix of Ash 'lord or king.' The Eddas relate that Thor, in a punitive expedition against the raiding Gald ( = Kaldu or 'Chaldee') people of the plains of Ginung (Mesopotamia), carried off from the weirds at the Well of Urd at Joro-velli (which we have seen was Carchemish on the Upper Euphrates), their most treasured magical Stone-Bowl or 'Cauldron,' which was the central fetish of their Serpent cult.

The Eddas further relate how after its capture King Thor or Sig consecrated this 'Life-Giving' Stone-Bowl as a sacred vessel in his own Sun-cult. The disappearance of this 'Holy-Grail' of Her-Thor and the futility of its quest, except in visions, is now accounted for by its having been so deeply buried by his great-grandson Udu or Utu (? Otto) over fifty-one centuries ago down beneath the foundations of the oldest Sun-Temple in Mesopotamia, until it was unearthed a few decades ago.

This identity in the Nordic or Gothic tradition with the Sumerian, forms still another of the many striking proofs of the identity of the Early Sumerians with the Early Goths or Nordics, who were the ancestors of the Anglo-Saxons, Norse, Swedes and Britons. [Actually, there is more evidence in the favor of a link between the Sumerians, the Celts, the Mediterranean Race, the people of the Indus Valley civilization, and the Central Asians whose mummies were found at Urumchi, and the people of Tibet. This Aryan story is not tenable today, like it might have been a century ago. The facts just do not support it. True, it is possible that many Sumerian influences, both culturally and racially found their way north and west, to the more bleached parts of Europe, but the real similarities in facial structure, skull size, culture, dress, writing, etc., makes an identification with the Celts more likely.]

And it is significant that amongst the modern descendants of the latter Nordics, the traditional memory of this famous historical incident of about fifty-three centuries ago has still survived; though the Ar-Thur versions of this 'pagan' event have been modernized by later bards embellishing them as well as King Ar-Thur himself with Christian embroidery. [Actually, etc.. The Arthurian Cycle is a late superimposition to the real Grail or Sang Real story. See Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln, Holy Blood, Holy Grail; Birks and Gilbert, The Treasure of Montsegur; as well as our own The Brethren of the GIFT: Ormus and the Grail Chalice. There is much evidence that the Grail story includes factors that most 'experts' do not want to admit: The Isma'ili influence, the Sumerian Influence, perhaps the Yezidis, the Mandaeans, or the Nusairi; the Gnostic connections, the Templar object; The Nusairi say that the secret of the Grail is that the Brain is like a vessel, a chalice of Light, and each recipient of the light has a different capacity for holding Light. From what we gather in Waddell, this, too, is what the Cauldron or Magical Bowl is. If this Bowl has something to do with the DurAnKi, which existed in that very temple in Nippur, the reason in fact that that temple was erected, then the Bowl was part and parcel of the DurAnKi, and the ceremony surrounding it in The Necronomicon is a Sacred Rite, not a debased rite of Black Magick, in that it does, in our Sumerian Ancestor Tradition, what Kalachakra does in Tibetan Buddhism. And that, too, even if the Necronomicon is not as old as it is claimed. Furthermore, we shall see that this is a relic of the Lion-Serpent Cult, which is our cultus; and that this was also sacred to the Cow-Mother, who is none other than Hathor. ]

INSCRIPTION ON THE STONE-BOWL BY KING UDU
The inscription on this Stone-Bowl of King Dar or Dur is the earliest of all known historical Sumerian inscriptions, and thus the earliest known historical inscription in the world. But its unique historical importance consists in its inscription being written by the great-grandson of the first 'Sumerian' king, the founder of Civilization, and in its recording at first hand his own genealogy in full, back to that first Sumerian Aryan king.

The inscriber and dedicator calls himself in his inscription by his personal name Udu (or Utu or Uduk), and he uses the title of 'The Priest-King of Kish City.' But he is shown in the old Sumerian king-lists to be the fourth Sumerian king in the imperial line, all of which kings as we shall see were ex - officio 'priest-kings.' In the solar version of the Indian lists of the main line he, as the fourth imperial king, is called Uda-Vasu or 'Uda of the Vase,' a title which is now seen to have designated him as the custodian of this sacred Stone - Bowl. In the lunar version of the Indian Lists, he is called YAYATI, YATI, or YADU.[^.See Readings In The Authentic Tradition, Volume One. The Lunar Line is the DurAnKi Lineage, of descent from the Anunnaki, to what became known in Indian lore as the Pitris, or 'Fathers'. For this reason, we consider the Lunar line to be of far more significance than the Solar Line, and the descendants of Yayati were exiled from India, and found work peddling their wares in the Near and Middle East, until showing up in Asia Minor at the time the Dionysian Artificers came into existence. ] In the Kish Chronicle as the fourth king in the imperial line (i.e. the third king in the so-called 'Second' or Kish Dynasty there), he is not called by his personal name, but is styled 'The Devotee of Lord Sagg (Uru Ash Sa - Ga - Ga),' wherein as we have seen Sagg is one of the favourite old Sumerian titles of King Ukusi or Dur, and is the Sig title of Thor in the Eddas, and the Sakko title of Indra in the old Indian Pali. And it is significant that Sagg is also the title actually used by king Udu for his great-grandfather in his inscription on this Bowl, thus confirming his identity with 'The Devotee of Lord Sagg' in the Kish Chronicle. And it now appears probable that it was this King Udu, the expressed devotee or worshipper of his radiantly illustrious great - grandfather, who first deified the latter as 'The god Sagg (Sakh or In-Dur, whose name also reads IA, the source of JAH, or 'Father Ju' or Ju-piter or Jove, borrowed by the Hebrews as Yahve or 'Jehovah'). [And now for a few clarifications...Sakh or Sagg, is also to be identified with Sakhun, or Sakkhun, as in Sakkhun-Yatan, Sanchuniathon. An early Dositheos. IA is ENKI, EA. The identification with Jehovah may be there, but for more on this see the sidebar in our Essay, "Who or What is GOD?" entitled "What's in a Name?" Of course, in Exodus 23:20, the Hebrew equivalent for the word translated as "I" in the English, is Iiykn), ANKI, Heaven-Earth, "Behold I send an angel before you, to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place which I have prepared." Perhaps there is much more to this name business than any one of us can figure out. For all his wanting characteristics, Yahweh is too much of a transcendental entity, like a real extraterrestrial, to be identified with characters from myth and legend like Jupiter or MarDuk, or Jove or Zeus. ] For the prefixed title Ash (or An) for 'Lord' or 'King' tends in this Bowl inscription and hereafter in Sumerian and Babylonian inscriptions and literature to have the sense of 'God' as well as of 'Lord.' And this now seems to explain for the first time why the later descendants of this deified first Aryan king called themselves 'the sons of God,' for they were the lineal descendants of that man who was made by the later people the type of the Father God.

DECIPHERMENT & TRANSLATION OF THE BOWL-INSCRIPTION

This critically important inscription, written in the most archaic linear form of Sumerian script, was first published by Prof. Hilprecht (Old Babylonian Inscriptions, 1896), and has been translated by him and several other Assyriologists, without any knowledge of the significance or identification of its names or of the royal identity of its author or his date. But from the paleography of his writing he is placed by Assyriologists as the earliest known historical high-priest of Kish; and his inscription is generally regarded as the earliest known Sumerian historical inscription. And this is now confirmed by our new evidence.

I here give my revised reading and translation of this inscription, in the light of our Indian and Eddic keys to the personal names and titles, which we shall find are fully confirmed by the old Sumerian king-lists and Sumerian literature. The authority for all my readings, when they differ in any way from the previous ones which were made without any keys, are fully cited from the standard Sumerian lexicons and cannot be gainsaid. The several Sumerian synonym titles given for the name of the first king as Sagg (or Sa-Ga-Ga), as written on this bowl, while illustrating the plurality of titles borne by the Early Aryan kings, and by the first king in particular, are of immense importance in his establishing his identity in the different king-lists, where he often appears under one or other of these different titles cited in the table over the page, and all of which are given in the bilingual Sumerian and Babylonian glossaries as synonyms of this name as written on this Bowl of Udu.

The inscription written in eight lines, separated by horizontal strokes forming separate compartments, reads as follows:

DECIPHERMENT AND TRANSLATION OF UDU'S BOWL INSCRIPTION

This Bowl inscription thus reads:

"To King (or Lord) Sagg (or Zagg, Sakh, Dar, In-Dara or Dur, Udu, Gurusha, or Adar), Udu, the priest-king of Kish City, the son of Enuzuzu (or Inzuzu), the son of Gin the established son (of King Dagg), the Khamazi City choice broken (Bowl) has deposited."

LOCATION OF KHAMAZI CITY WHERE THE BOWL WAS CAPTURED AS 'CAR-CHEMISH'

It has been generally considered by Assyriologists that this broken Stone - Bowl which had been esteemed of such importance as to have this ancient genealogy inscribed on it and termed 'precious or choice' and given the chief place of honour in the Sun-cult by being deposited under the foundations of the tower in the oldest Sun-temple in Mesopotamia, must have been a famous war-trophy captured at the city of Khamazi. But where the latter place was situated has hitherto been quite unknown. It is, I now find, undoubtedly 'Car-chemish' of the Hebrew Old Testament, which we have seen was the last stronghold of the Hittites on the Upper Euphrates, where the river debouches on to the Mesopotamian plains; and it was called by the Babylonians Kar - Kamish or Gar-Gamish, that is 'the Fort of Kamish or Gamish.' And it is at this site also, that the Nordic Eddas locate the capture of the Stone Bowl, namely, at 'the Fort of Gymi or Gymis' at Urd, the headquarters of the weirds of the Mother-Son and Serpent cult or Joro-velli, now identified with Hieropolis Jerablus or Carchemish.

It is significant also that the Bowl is described in the inscription as 'broken'; for the Eddas specially detail the circumstances as to how the bowl became broken during its capture by Thor and his son.

The title 'city' (a Sumerian word also meaning 'town') which is applied to Khamazi does not necessarily imply that that place was a 'city' at the time of the capture of the Bowl. On the contrary, the Sumerian literature credits King Sakh (or Sagg) with founding the first city in the world, and his son with founding the first city in Mesopotamia. And the Eddas have preserved us the tradition that this 'Fort of Gymis' consisted of a collection of underground burrows and 'cellars,' and its fort was presumably a stockade. But the Eddas add that after its capture it was made into a city by Thor and his descendants. The reference to it as a 'city' by King Udu, thus doubtless refer to its condition at the period when he wrote.

TITLE OF 1ST KING ON THE BOWL & HIS IDENTITY WITH 1ST KING IN KISH CHRONICLE AND AS HISTORICAL HUMAN ORIGINAL OF INDRA, THOR & ZEUS

The identity of the king to whom this Bowl is dedicated, namely, King Sagg or Zagg (Sa-ga-ga or Za-ga-ga), with the first king of the First Dynasty of the Kish Chronicle is evidenced at the outset by both of these kings being respectively the traditional father of the same famous son Bakus, who was afterwards deified as Bacchus for his vast developments in Agriculture and his invention of the Plough. And King Udu, who dedicates this Bowl, and who is shown in the Kish Chronicle and the other lists to be the grandson of King Bakus, is significantly called in the Kish Chronicle 'the devotee of King Sagg (or Sa-ga-ga),' that is, this very king (his great-grandfather) to whom he dedicates this Bowl, and whom he appears to have been the first to deify.

This title of Sagg or Zag (sa-ga-ga or Za-ga-ga) is seen to have been a very early regnal title for this first 'Sumerian' or Aryan king. It was also retained for long as an early title for him after he was deified as the Father-God, and it survived with the Indian branch as the Sakko name for the god Indra in the old Indian vernacular in Pali dialect; and it was Sanskritized later by the Indian Brahmans[sic] by introducing an r into it Cockney-wise and aspirating its S into Shakra, as a title of the god Indra..[But, etc... See Readings In The Authentic Tradition-1 for some interesting light on the Indian Connection. Also, see our forthcoming "Was Enki Pashupati?"in which we examine the Indian tales of Enki and the traditions built up around him. To equate him with a stern and angry deity like Indra confounds things. Enki is much more akin to Shiva, and there is enough evidence to validate this claim.]

The name Sa-ga-ga or Zagaga, which was presumably pronounced Sagg or Zagg, means in Sumerian 'the established Lord or Leader.' It is obviously a syllabic spelling of the regular Sumerian word Sag or Zag for 'Lord or Leader' which is written with the pictograph of a capped man's head and neck, for which the sign-name is Saggu or Zaggu; and this sign besides its primary meaning of 'Head' also means 'the First,' and thus for the leader is analogous to the Teutonic First title for 'Sovereign or Prince.' And the affix ga means 'established.'

After his deification, this title of Sagg is found remodelled on the same general form as In-Sakh (or In-Zakh) or King Sakh or Zakh, meaning literally 'King of the Winds,' and thus making his title truly mythological, and obviously connecting it to his Sun-Eagle or Sun-Hawk emblem of his Sun-worship. This Zakh name has also the phonetic Sumerian value of Zax,and it was through this value, as well as the Zagg form with the soft g, that I have shown the Greeks obviously derived their name for him of 'Zeus.'

On the same phonetic model was latterly coined his Sumerian variant title of Sig, which is written with the picture of a Horn, and defined as 'Horn, exalted, Prince as Decider,' and also 'overthrow' in sense of 'Victorious.' It is this Sig form of his title which persists in the Nordic Eddas as a common title of Thor.

The other title for this first king which are given in the glossaries as synonyms for him, as noted in column 1 of the above decipherment Table, will be referred to when they occur later on in other Sumerian king-lists or inscriptions.

'GIN' NAME OF SECOND KING ON THE BOWL 7 IN AGREEMENT WITH THE OTHER LISTS

The name Gin for the second king in this Bowl inscription is seen to be a dialectic form of his Gan or Kan agricultural title in other Sumerian lists and a synonym of his Bakus or Bacchus title. Gin means 'The Increaser'; and Gan or Kan means 'Cultivate, beget of Plants, make abundant,' also 'Field and Produce'; and thus this Gin title confirms his identity with Bakus the second king in the Kish Chronicles and the son of the first king.

His identity as son of the first king of the First Sumerian Dynasty Sagg or Ukusi is further confirmed by his being designated in the inscription as 'the established (son?)' by the same word-sign which is applied later to the almighty Babylonian Mar-Duk, the deified son of the Father-god Bel, and of whom we have seen that this second king was the human original and prototype, just as his father had been deified as Bel.^.[If we are to follow all this, then, Sagg or Sakh or Zagg or Zakh or Sig or Zig or whatever is Enki, IA, EA, Oannes, etc. We shall pick this up in our analysis of the Druzes. It is hard to take Waddell seriously, because he mixes things up. But there is plenty between the lines for us to ponder.] This is still further confirmed under his title Bakus (who was traditionally the son of King Sagg or Sa-ga-ga) [Dumuzi, the traditional Dying God and original for Dionysus and Bacchus, was a son of Enki, like Marduk was. Waddell may be getting the brothers confused. Enki was quite prolific. ] whereunder he is called 'the son of Udu' Udu being as we have seen a synonym of the first king of the First Dynasty of the Kish Chronicle and the Odo title of Thor in the Eddas. And he is also called 'The Great Storehouse called Ama of the Jar', wherein Ama we have seen on p. 82, [Ama and Azag, like Azag-tot.] is his title in the Indian lists, and also in Sumerian (p.59).[The quote is: AZAG, the (mighty) handed AMA (or BA-KUS or BA'SAM).]

COMPARISON OF BOWL GENEALOGY WITH KISH CHRONICLE & OTHER SUMERIAN & INDIAN LISTS & NORDIC EDDAS SHOWING IDENTITY

The identity of the Bowl genealogy is established by comparison with the Kish Chronicle and other Sumerian and Indian Lists of these first kings and with the Nordic Eddas. In this comparison it is to be remembered: (a) that the Chronicle inscription uses the Solar title of Ukusi for the first king, which is found also as a title for him in another Sumerian list and is his Iksh-Vaku solar title in the Indian lists; and (b) that the Eddas, dealing solely with the rise of the Goths under their first king Thor, do not extend beyond the third king, and thus contain no mention of the fourth king Udu or Utu (?Otto) who wrote this inscription.

The equations of the names and synonymous titles of these earliest Sumerian or Aryan kings are here tabulated for reference:

Bowl Genealogy compared with First Four Kings of Sumerians and Early Aryans(sic).

It is thus seen from this comparative table that the four kings in the genealogy inscribed on this Stone Bowl by King Udu are identical with the first four kings of the First Dynasty of the Sumerians as recorded in the Kish Chronicle, with its imperial extension to Kish in Mesopotamia; and they are identical with the first four kings of the First Dynasty of the Early Aryans; and they are identical, as regards the first three, with the first traditional kings in the Nordic Eddas. Their chronological order also, as well as their achievements, are identical, and thus collectively they establish the identity of the Sumerians and Early Aryans or Nordics.

The dedicator of this Bowl to King Sagg, who is disclosed as the great-grandson of the latter, is called in the Kish Chronicle not by his personal name, but by his title of 'The devotee of King (or Lord) Sagg.' And it is seen that he had elevated the great and brilliant personality of his matchless great-grandfather as the originator of Civilization into a religious cult within his Sun-Worship. And in the Indian King-Lists of the solar version this fourth king Udu is called "Uda of the Vase (Uda-vasu),' wherein the vase in question is disclosed as being this famous trophy magic Stone-Bowl captured by his great-grandfather King Ikshvaku Indara, Dar or Dur.

This Stone Bowl on which this record is engraved is thus disclosed as the actual material original of the central fetish-magic Stone-Bowl or "Cauldron" of the Serpent-cult of the precivilized period of the ancient world, and captured from the weirds of Urd by King Thor and his son, and afterwards consecrated by the former, as is circumstantially described in the Nordic Eddas. And King Thor's or Her-Thor's son, who bears the title of Gun or Kon in the Eddas, and was the champion knight-errant of his father, Thor, and has the Sun-falcon as his special emblem, and who is Gan, Gun, or Kan in the Sumerian amongst his other titles, is now disclosed with his fixed date as the historical original of Sir Gawain, the chief champion knight-errant of King Ar-Thur in the Arthurian Legends.

COMMENTARY

Waddell mentions that the Serpent Cult was also the Mother-Cow Cult. This is crucial, and should be pondered in connection with our Qadosh Essay. It may seem a bit of a piece to quote, with plenty of false alleys, but there are plenty of genuine secrets here too. If we take the material in Chapter I of The Code of the Eternal, we shall see that in Nippur, the DurAnKi was located. The DurAnKi was Mission Control, period. This bowl or cauldron, then, was associated with the Direct Link between Heaven and Earth. We have no way of knowing what it looked like, its size, or shape. Placed in the foundation of the Main Temple in Nippur, underneath the central tower, it would seem that some knowledge of telluric currents was indicated. Also, it suggests the tantric meaning of the Hexagram: The Hourglass shape, where Heaven unites with Earth, in this spot, the perfectly endowed spot of the Tibetan Chöd Rite. [For which see Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines, ed. W. Y. Evans-Wentz.] This then could be the GATE par excellence. The question is, are we to assume that the Spirits in the Necronomicon are all evil larvae, and that this Gate Ceremony is only for summoning them forth? Or, is this the Rite, the Secret Priests of Ancient Sumer used to contact Nibiru, the Eternal? We opt for the second choice.

In short, then, we in the West have the same exact thing that groups like the Kalachakra Tantriks, the Nyingmapa Lamas, and so forth have (at least until the troubles began in the 1950s of the common era). We do not know how many have been aware of this. We can state that this knowledge is now available to more people than it was a few years ago. Can any one individual put this all together and harness its Power? I doubt it, but I think that The Temple Proper could be rebuilt, provided the proper relics were there. Would it need a consecrated successor in the DurAnKi lineage? Probably so, so that is where it would end. Perhaps. It would be useless to get a bunch of teenagers together in a basement and read the incantations from a grimoire! This requires much preparation, much study, a high level of technology, and an aptitude for things which include much more than ceremonial ritual. In short, ceremonial ritual technique, sound synthesis, acoustics, architectural design, color theory, brain-wave technology. And, of course, the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel, that presides over all these.

CONCLUDING REMARKS.

TO conclude, then, we have in the stories presented above, not only legendary evidence for the existence of the Grail, the Grail Castle, and so on, but Historical and Physical evidence. Historical, in that there were German Miners excavating the area around Blanchefort and Cardou, Physical, in that we have three Mountains of Salvation, three distinctly holy mountains. And these mountains are holy, not only to the Jews, Christians and Moslems, but to the Cathars, the Western Esotericists, the Hindus, Buddhists, Tantriks, and Native Religions. We have a historical continuity that extends as far back as is possible to research, and goes as far forward into the future as our imaginations will allow.
