Various info and incantations:

So without further adeu:



INVOCATION

(NOTE: when you see a capital vowel in a word it is the long vowel, this is also the case when you encounter a double a (aa = a as in Say).
The letter 'u' can at all times be made with long 'u' - ('oo' like in boot) but I have used capital u in those places where the word must have long 'u' to be correct.

Thus:
'samUrutum' will be 'sam-oo-ruh-tuh-m' or 'sam-oo-roo-toom' but never 'samuh-ruh-tuh-m'

Lil: (sounds like saying 'little' very rapidly)

'Lil' is the manifesting of a god.
A 'Lil' is caused by the Gishur (pattern) of the Melam (divine light) or Ganzir (divine shadow) of a God descending or rising to affect the Ni (spiritual awareness) and Zi (life force) of a 'Vessel' (object / person) and makes the vessel a conductor and a projector of that Gishur of energy. Often called a 'soft mount', a Lil is a state of semi spiriyual possesion. The advantage of Lil is that even at the strongest level, the person experiencing a 'Lil' will still be conscious and have memory of that period of time. It is common that a Lil is done in conjunction with a reading using the four tablet divination system. A diey Lil, speaks through the mouth of the diviner, but the stick are cast in a definiative method in order to confirm what the Lil proclames. This stick divination (Shub) gives distinct yes and no answers. In addition further patterns can be gleaned from the cast that offer 900 units of information of all types. Thus if the cast denies the statment made by the oracles pronouncment of Lil, the statement is deemed to be a mistake by the diviner and a greater effort must be made on the diviner's part to strengthin the communication of the 'soft mount'. Theurgy (the practice of assuming divine Lil for the purpose of spiritual growth) is represented in this practice of LIl.

Ba:

A full possession by a God 'head' or 'path'. A ba is full on possesion. It is practiced only rarely and with much preparation and precaution. During such possessions the ego of the human participant is submerged and absent. No memory remains of the period of possession. Such manifestations are accorded all respect and generally only happen at high rites.

Investment (Meri Pala):

To receive that pattern of a Ray directly into the Higherself in order to have that god and their Lil alive within you.

Da-ansab (to receive):

Objects invested with the Lil of a god that represents that god and its power, given in place of an Invested power. A person that receives it is said to be 'Maharu rumutu sha Illani' (accepting the mark or assistance of a god)

A list of the common rites

1. Daltu (door): The welcoming rite:
This rite is an introduction composed of a ritual washing of the hands and anointing with oil and accepts the student as a supplicant.

2. Baru (examination):
This rite is used to determine ones bloodlines and which of them are primary. In addition it clarifies if one should take further training on the road to Investment.

3. Sheba(Promise): Dedication rite:
This rite is the dedication to one's Diety and a promise to follow their veneration.

4. Shuterusu (preparation): Neophyte rite:
This rite inducts the student into the ranks as an apprentice and is the first real step of initiation and investment.

5. Dalapu(to awaken): initiation into the diviner's guild or the Magicians ranks:
This rite is an option and not everyone takes it. A person may chose to study the diviner's path or to study the path of the Mogur or both in turn. a person that has decided to be a diviner is given the er shubatu, a person seeking the mages path will take the er mogur.

6. Aladu: Acolyte rite
this Is the descent into the underworld that signified full initiation into the Datu ranks. Notes will be given below as to the effects on this rite due to our reassumtion of our traditional practices. In the tradition this was the raising of the initiate to the status of a priest. This preistly class was a general designation as opposed to a priest of a specific diety

7. Shukuttu(adorment): Investiture rite
This rite is the investature of the Diety in the Acolyte and thus makes them a priest specifically of their Power. Thus a child of Ishtar becomes a priest/ess of Ishtar in this rite. Along with the investment come the 'Da-ansab' (receipt) of the secondary Power' I.E. if your primeary power is Enlil as your father, that power (Enlil) in invested, the second power seen as your 'mother' would be presented with their mysteries but not invested.

8. Hashadu (marriage):
This is the rite in which one is 'wed' to the traditional consort of one's prime deity. The result of which is the acquisition of the beneficial powers of that consort. Often this will be the same as the secondary Power but it may be a different power than the secondary.

In addition to these rites an Atu may need to 'Da-ansab' (receive) the mysteries of other powers. These are given in the form of statuary and tools associated with various gods. Sometimes this is because one's primary power is too potent to invest in the acolyte safely. In that case the secondary power is invested and the primary is given as Da-ansab.

The Da-ansab of different things can range from 'Da-ansab lukha' (receiving the tablets) for divination to 'Da-ansab Mummu deam Nammu' (receiving Mummu with Nammu)

* The Datu recognise two destinies; the Mutable and the Fixed. The fixed destiny is those factors of life that cannot be altered such as who your parents are, when and where you were born, the color of your eyes, your gender and so on.
The Mutable destiny is that which your eternal soul requested from 'God' prior to your birth. This requested life path can be found and harmonized with, or it can be missed. Our death is included in the mutable destiny, because while our time of death was ordained, our actions can lead us to die early. If one finds and lives their destiny, they will make it to the appointed hour of death and thus complete this lives destiny. In theory having done so will cause them to learn lessons that will help them to evolve as a eternal soul. You will find that this ideal of spiritual evolution did not develope until late in Assyria's existence. Earlier it was thought that the person decended to the underworld eternaly. Later through Median, Persian, and Indian influences brought into play by the world empires of the Persians and Macedonians, reincarnation and 'evolution of being' entered the popular mind set and thus the Datu. Theurgy sat down hip to hip with Thaumaturgy until the popularity of christian and muslim faiths subdued it as a 'sin'.

4a. Scattering Flour as an offering:

The flour cast to the four corners is a Kishpu (funerary offering) to the Etemmu (ancestors) as well as a Karrabu (food sacrifice).
Hold your hand over the flour dish, and as you begin to say the blessing of the flour, divide the flower into 3 parts in the dish.

Blessing the flour (said while dividing the flour into 3 piles)

Zatu, zatu, ipru sha ameluti
Flour, flour, food of man

Zatu, Zatu Ipru sha Illi u Ishtari
Flour, flour, food of the gods and goddesses

Kugamutu! Sikilutu!
You are the blessed, you are purifier!


Now take up the flour dish in your left hand;
Take a good pinch of flour from the pile of flour that is closest to your left thumb and say:

Takshu Zidub-dubbu sha Zatu Ebbu
3 heaps of shining flour

Ishten sha Enki (Cast the flour to the four corners / directions)
One for Enki

Take a good pinch of the next pile clockwise pile and say:

Ishten sha Enlil (Cast to four corners)
One for Enlil

Take a good pinch of the last pile of flour and say:

Ishten sha Anu (Cast to four corners)
One for Anu

Swirl the flour dish so that all the flour piles mix together

Now take up a big pinch of flower

(Scatter at chest height and say)
"Dur"

(Scatter high and say)
"An"

(Scatter low and say)
"Ki"

(Dur-an-ki means 'the bond of heaven and earth' and is an offering to the gods, the spirits and the earth)

Swirl the flour again and set it down for the next person to use...

If you are calling upon the great gods you would set out a heap of flour for each of them (Anu, Enlil and Enki) in stead of scattering the flour.
There are then 10 heaps arranged as so:

...*...*...*...*
*....................*
...*...*...*...*
(periods are to ensure correct placement of the asterixs in the diagram, the asterixes are the ten heaps of flour)
Ishten sha Anu
Ishten sha Enlil
Ishten sha Ea (Enki)
Ishten sha Adad
Ishten sha Nergal
Ishten sha Sin
Ishten sha Ishtar
Ishten sha Nabu
Ishten sha Shammash
Ishten sha Ninki
Esheret Zidub-dubbu sha Zatu Ebbu

4b. Asperging with hyssop, reed or Willow branch:

If you have multiple priests in the circle you must do this to each person after they scatter flour. If you are alone you need not do this to yourself. This is also a wonderful cleaning for a person at any time.

Dip the branch into the consecrated water and sprinkle the person as follows:

Isa ya (splash an 'x' on their front)
Isa ya (Splash 'X' on their back)

Riega (splash left then right in front),
Riega (splash right then left Rear)

Xilka (Splash straight up in front)
Xilka (splash straight up in back)

Biesha (splash down in front)
Biesha (splash down in back)

Isa ya u Riega (scatter water around their feet in front)
Isa ya u at-laka! (Scatter water around their feet in back)

Ina qibit iqbu-u Enki bel ashapti la tamatunu! (Raise the willow over their head)
Bara, Bara edin Nazzu! (Cast the water out of the circle behind their left shoulder)

If you are working alone in the sacred space, or after you have sprinkled each person that is present, you will say this same 'Isa Ya' incantation as you walk around the 'circle' and sprinkle water with the Willow / Hyssop.
