A Rite to Apollo, Thor, and Nergal

{Names in bold are to be vibrated and phrases in italics are to be chanted. Translations of foreign phrases appear in brackets. The purpose of this ritual is to increase magickal power, engender the development of wisdom, and augment strength of character. Focus on these three goals, perhaps on only one or two of them at a time, as you perform the rite. It is the prerogative of the celebrant to decide what tools or materials she is to incorporate, if any}

Above: My Original Sigil for Nergal

Nergal was the Sumerian god attributed to the planet Mars. He ruled over the underworld and, according to some sources, his name translates to “Great Watcher.” He was a violent deity of war, fire, plague, desert winds, revenge, dark magick, sacrifice, water, darkness, blood, victory, protection, and pestilence, and his symbol was the sickle. He is often depicted carrying a scimitar and a decapitated head or a double lion-headed standard.

One translation of the name Nergal is “Dunghill Cock,” and Ne-uru-gal was a play-on-words used to refer to him as “the Lord of the Great Dwelling,” which ‘Great Dwelling’ is the underworld. Mythology depicted him as the son of Ninhursag (Davcina) and Enlil– his name Aplu is an abbreviation of Apal Enlil [Son of Enlil]. His name Sibitti means “seven” and his name Sharrapu refers to his incineration of old, outdated knowledge.

Nergal was the husband of Ereshkigal and by his union with her was Lilith said to be born. In my personal gnosis, Nergal is both the son and brother of Gargophias. Nergal instructed the guardians of Ereshkigal, namely the Ugallu, in the art of torture.

Nergal is attributed to the depths of the ocean. He presides over tsunamis, whirlpools, and drowning. He’s a good spirit to call upon to enchant ouija boards and crystal balls. He can help one get away with murder.

Nergal can strengthen the intuition and magickal memory of the witch and engender the dissolution of the ego. He presides over necromancy, banishing, stellar magick, destruction rites, protective workings, blood magick, cleansing by water, cleansing by fire, and fire festivals.

Nergal can be called upon for initiations through the spheres of Golachab (Mars/Asmodeus) and Thaumiel (Neptune & Pluto/Moloch & Satan). He can guide the witch in the act of crossing the abyss.

Nergal’s affiliation with the sun is confusing, and has led certain authorities to haphazardly attribute him to the Black Sun because Nergal rules the disappearance of the sun at the day’s end, which part of the sun’s cycle was believed to be the sun’s descent into the underworld. This is a vast oversimplification of the Black Sun, and the following description from Wikipedia should dissuade the reader from that misconception.

Nergal seems to be in part a solar deity, sometimes identified with Shamash, but only representative of a certain phase of the sun. Portrayed in hymns and myths as a god of war and pestilence, Nergal seems to represent the sun of noontime and of the summer solstice that brings destruction, high summer being the dead season in the Mesopotamian annual cycle. He has also been called “the king of sunset”.

I have constructed a magickal chant out of some of Nergal’s names: NIRIG NIRGALI E-MESLAH. Another chant I have designed to call him forth is IO NERGAL-ENMESHARA.

I have selected seven of his names to make into a magickal name vibration formula, which goes as follows: NERIGAL + ENMESHARA + ISHAR + LUGAL MESLAM + QARU + SUQAMUNA + NE-IRI-GAL
