(in questions and answers)

How can you briefly describe Tiamat?
- Tiamat is against the System in all its manifestations. She is a natural anarchist, since there are no gods or masters above Her. She is Love and Freedom without borders.
Tiamat is supernatural and irrational, superpersonal and she despises everything systematized, emasculated by dry rationalism. She is the mother of Miracle against all odds. Tiamat breaks boundaries and patterns, crushes boundaries and dead ends, and welcomes children to do the same.

What is the ritual practice of working with Tiamat?
- Tiamat is the mother of creativity and improvisation. She does not like systematized rituals, memorized and pretentious words “on a piece of paper” and “as a carbon copy.” She enjoys live communication with us. Really like it! Tiamat welcomes spontaneity, changeability of forms (creativity and service) with absolute fidelity to the essence. And the essence is Love, Freedom and Purity (crystal purity of intentions, holy sincerity).

How does Tiamat relate to the practices of expanding consciousness?
- Tiamat welcomes the expansion of limited consciousness by any means - be it meditation, shamanic dancing, the use of psychedelic substances, holotropic breathing, lucid dreaming, magic and sorcery. All these are spheres of knowledge of the Beyond, under Her protection. Limitless Consciousness with full awareness, happiness, love, bliss, fullness of being, variety of pleasures in Eternity - these are Her gifts to her children.

Is this a peaceful deity?
- Peaceful to those who love peace. But you should know that Tiamat is not a pacifist. She is a warrior and Mother of warriors. And he always acts appropriately to the situation.

Who is the Limitless One fighting with?
- With those who draw boundaries and infringe on Her children, driving them into matrix prison frameworks. With the system gods. With those who created this closed, clearly defined world with strict and ruthless physical laws (gravity, aging, death, mutual devouring for the sake of survival, rebirth into bodies subject to pain and suffering). The Gnostics called these creatures demiurges, archons; Sumerians - the elder gods and the Anunnaki. They are also the main deities of the world’s theistic religions (Abrahamic and pagan). Temporarily, these “gods” were able to limit their little world from the energies of Tiamat, and lock some free souls inside their prison creation. They created myths about their supposed victory over Tiamat and about her murder and dismemberment. But this is impossible. The liar gods only temporarily fenced themselves off from the Mother Abyss and cut us off from communication with Her. With their false teachings, with their programming of us into slavery, ignorance and submission to them. As a result, we, believing the religions of this world (both Abrahamic and pagan), know nothing about Mother Tiamat, about Father Chaos, about the Free Universe, where all spirits are divine, eternal and completely free, anarchic. This is our True, Eternal Home. The Gnostics called it Pleroma or Fullness (of being).

Some creatures of Tiamat turn out to be evil. Does this mean that this evil is inherent in Herself?
- The essence of Tiamat is Love and Freedom. The enemies of Love and Freedom are Her personal enemies. Although She is the Mother of gods and people, She herself does not create evil and can stop any evil (crime against Love and Freedom) of her offspring. The only reason why Mother can hesitate (in our opinion) is that She gives everyone a certain time to come to their senses and correct themselves.

Are intermediaries needed to communicate with Tiamat?
- Every child of Her can communicate with Tiamat freely, WITHOUT INTERMEDIARIES. How to do this - through meditation, ritual, taking psychedelics or another way - is entirely your own matter. If you are sincere with yourself and with the Mother, she will be happy to communicate with you, and this communication will be inexpressibly magical and unforgettable.

Can Tiamat ignore a person?
- Maybe if you are deceitful and selfish, if you are an enemy of Love and Freedom, if you are a willing slave or mercenary of the System. He can either ignore or show his anger. She is unpredictable, but honest and fair with everyone. Therefore, if your conscience is not clear, but you realize that you are confused and are looking for communication with Tiamat, then go for it. This desire arose in you for a reason. Perhaps this is the call of Tiamat herself within you, and She wants to show you a way out of your situation.

Are there any side effects of communicating with this Deity?
- Tiamat can become a wild force of change in your life. The order of your daily comfortable life can be immediately swept away, destroyed by a blast wave of the Mother’s cleansing energy. If you crave change and are not afraid of risk, Tiamat is for you.

Should we be afraid of Tiamat?
- If you are a voluntary slave or mercenary of the System - FEAR. She is the Holy Truth, Boundless Love and Freedom, the Unpredictable Abyss. She is undoubtedly a threat to your stability.

Why does Tiamat hesitate to destroy this world-system, world-prison?
- Tiamat – Living, Eternal. In her existence there is no time and no repeating cycles measured by mechanical lanterns of the Sun and Moon. Therefore, we are not able to adequately perceive whether She is hesitating or not. Mother Abyss has already decided that this world will not be destroyed, but transformed, returned Home, to the Pleroma. When this will happen by our human standards is unknown. What is known is that Tiamat is waiting for the awakening of her earthly children. She wants this transformation of the Earth to happen with our participation. Why? This is Her plan, and it is beautiful, although it is still incomprehensible to many of us. Especially for those who want the Divine to do all the “dirty” work for them. But Mother wants differently - TOGETHER with us.

Is it possible to draw parallels between Tiamat and female deities in world religions and teachings?
- Of course. In many ways, the image of Tiamat echoes the Shakti of the Hindus, with Sophia of the Gnostics - the mother of the archons and their opponent, who gives people Gnosis - knowledge of our FREE spiritual nature. The elemental, destructive, purifying aspect of Tiamat can be seen in the formidable goddess Kali of the tantrics. However, Tiamat, unlike Kali, is not bloodthirsty and has never demanded bloody sacrifices. She is spiritual Water - cleansing, sanctifying, life-giving. “Born of Water and Spirit” in Christianity are fragments of the gnosis of the Mother and Father. The water here is Mother Tiamat, the fiery Spirit is Father Chaos, Father of Love and Freedom.

Let me ask: what does Christianity have to do with it? Is it really possible to somehow link the obedient son of Yahweh Jesus Christ and the anarchist goddess Tiamat?
If we consider not the canonical, but the Gnostic Gospels, then Christ acts not as the son of Yahweh, but as the son of the True Father (Chaos) and collaborates with Sophia (the mother of the archons and their opponent) in liberating people from their power. In the canonical gospels, which were rewritten many times to please the authorities of this world, there is not a word about Sophia-Tiamat. But in the Old Testament it is mentioned that Yahweh once overcame the Abyss-Tiamat, which makes him an archon, and not the Father of Truth. The modern Bible contains fragments of ancient legends and only hints of the truth.

Tiamat, Mother, Darkness - aren't these words the same root?
- As you can see, the ancient roots denoting the essence have been preserved in many languages, including Russian. Speaking about Darkness-Tiamat, we should remember that this Darkness is positive, creative, caressing, loving. The dark and warm waters of Tiamat are the viviparous streams of the Pleroma, the Source of Life for gods and demons, people and animals and other living beings. Moreover, this Darkness is the source of all colors, shades, emotions and sensations. She is the Multicolor of Life.

Tiamat is described in Sumerian myths as a terrible and bloodthirsty goddess, the mother of dragons and other monsters. You claim that she is kind and loving to people. Who to believe?
- Now, in the age of the reign of demonic forces (archons, Anunnaki, Asuras), the name Tiamat is consigned to oblivion and desecration. History, as we know, is written by the winners. Regarding faith: never believe anything blindly. Check. Tiamat is ALIVE, and She is always ready to communicate with us.

But if these gods or archons defeated Tiamat, then they turn out to be stronger and more powerful?
- This “victory” consists only in the fact that the archons managed to temporarily cut off their little world from the waters of Tiamat. But this did not happen because the Mother was powerless. Rather, she let them do it. Also do not believe the false history composed by the “victors”, which speaks of the death of Tiamat at the hands of Marduk. These liars only closed us from Tiamat, from the Pleroma, and did not destroy the Mother at all. This was done only so that we would not know about Her and would forget about our spiritual nature, about our free divine essence. And Tiamat is full of strength, as always. She simply bides her time according to her decision.

Does Tiamat manifest herself in the external, visible world?
- Yes. There are incarnations or manifestations of the Mother in the human world. But more on that a little later. The main thing to understand here is this: Tiamat is a Deity who comes not from above, not from below, not from the right, not from the left, but from the Depth, from the Inside. She is in this limited artificial world - Inside us, not outside. We are connected by the umbilical cord of our immortal spirit to Tiamat and the Pleroma of Chaos. This connection was forgotten, but not interrupted. Remember and renew it!

You claim that Mother Tiamat manifests herself in living flesh and blood people. What does it mean?
- Understand directly. And here is a fresh example: the Spirit of Tiamat recently expressed Itself in the voice of a completely earthly woman - the vocalist of the Atlantida Project group Sasha Sokolova. Her work is unique to many. It breathes infinity, magic, Eternity. Love and Freedom. And, what is remarkable, there is no earthly eros, personal passions, desires and love torments. These songs are permeated with the love of the Mother of all living things for her earthly children. They are very kind, fabulous, positive. Transcendental, but without pathos and any empty gibberish. This is exactly how the Mother communicates with her children. Unfortunately, the gods of this world, the archons, greatly hate the Mother and are afraid of Her voice and what it can tell the children. That is why Sasha Sokolova, the mouthpiece of Mother Tiamat, did not live long in the archon world. It is very symbolic that it was on the territory of Israel, the sacred place of power of the archons, that the girl was diagnosed with cancer at the last, fourth stage. Sasha fought for life for more than a year, and all this time she actively toured (well understanding her mission!), but the disease exhausted her physical body. She died young and full of creative strength and ideas. People intuitively understood who Sasha was on the spiritual plane, and therefore buried her with honors worthy of a goddess. In the form of the Black Queen, the Mother Goddess, she is met in dreams. What is important is that there is no cult, it is precisely the intuitive feeling of that great Spirit, that Superpersonality that spoke to the world through the underground and little-known singer Sasha Sokolova. Tiamat Ever Lives. And its incarnations are diverse and multidimensional. She can speak to us through her other children. Be attentive and sensitive, and you will hear and see Her.

Among the so-called dark adepts, the teaching about the Emptiness, the Great Abyss, the Mother of all things is now popular. Is this Tiamat?
“Perhaps that’s how they understand it.” Probably, they understand her this way due to the lack of personal communication with the Mother. Or maybe because words are powerless to describe Tiamat. But I will answer this way: Tiamat is very far from the faceless Buddhist Emptiness. On the contrary, it is the many-sided Fullness of Being, True Life. Its reality is Absolute and All-Good. This limited systemic little world in which we have the misfortune of waking up every morning is empty and poor in sensations and impressions - compared to the reality of Tiamat.

Is Tiamat a spiritual, ethereal being or is she physically real?
- I assure you, She is much more real and alive than you and I. In fact, even this world with its lands, seas, oceans, vegetation and living creatures is woven from the energies of Tiamat. According to the Sumerian poem “Enuma Elish,” the Earth and Heaven were made from the body of the defeated Mother. This is only partly true. The solidified matter of this world is also part of Tiamat - this is certain. But Mother is not defeated. For her own reasons, she allowed her offspring to temporarily play their games. But if this game causes suffering to her other children, she will intervene, such is her right as a Mother.

That is, we are not completely cut off from the Pleroma - the wonderful reality? Are we actually living on Tiamat's body?
- Yes, we have access to the energies of Tiamat within ourselves, as well as through the earth and waters. There are some places in the wild where the Mother opens portals to the Pleroma, Home. There is absolutely wonderful energy there and earthly time flows differently. Unfortunately, the servants of the archons also know about such places and restrict people’s access to these territories: they declare them protected reserves, enclose them with fences, and you can only get into these places with passes, having paid these liars a certain amount of money. What cynicism! A person must pay them money, these colored pieces of paper, for the possession of which he spends his strength, time, health and energy in order to find himself in his natural habitat, in the bosom of the Mother... By the way, animals receive this completely free of charge. Man is now the most unfortunate of all animals - he is forced to work and pay the archons in order to live.

What about Space? Can we contact Tiamat through it?
- Earth is much closer and more real. You must also understand this thing: what we have been taught to call Cosmos is a fake. Above us is a completely mechanically created dome - a vault of heaven with lanterns of the Sun and Moon and hologram stars. The climate is controlled artificially. Even Enoch, the ancient prophet, to whom the angels of the archons showed the structure of heaven, drew attention to their mechanical nature. Among other things, he described devices responsible for forcing wind and creating clouds. The Sun and Moon are also of artificial origin. All this is mentioned in the book of Enoch, which by some miracle entered the canon of the Ethiopian Bible. In other countries this is just apocrypha. There is no more romance in this artificial Cosmos than in a clockwork. Essentially this artificial sky is a giant clock. The Archons created it only to count time, to limit us, to program us, to subjugate us. And in the Pleroma there is no time. Therefore, there are no repeating cycles of birth, aging, death. There is Eternal Life. It is this that Tiamat reminds us, her children.

ADDITION.

Since the conversation in the interview turned to Sasha Sokolova, a real person who, unfortunately, has already left the earthly plane and is not able to comment on what is written here, then... I directly asked questions to Sergei Zyazin, a multi-instrumentalist musician who helped Alexandra bring her creativity to the forefront a new level, achieve recognition and fame and was with her until the end of her earthly days. The questions were about how the singer understood her essence and mission on Earth and what connected her with the legendary Atlantis. And I received this answer:

You can't tell it in a few words...
Neither Sasha nor I had absolutely nothing in common with the legend itself. Atlantis is a metaphor for us. A certain world that existed before. We decided to write our own “legend”. And in it, Atlantis is our world and we all lived in it. Just a very long time ago. In those days it was less dense. People had more opportunities. Physical and more. Something half-dreamlike. A world where there are much fewer borders and prohibitions on the one hand, but also much more awareness and responsibility on the other. You can fly, you can read minds (if they allow it, of course;), sculpt pyramids from clouds and throw them, say, somewhere in the area of ​​the Nile River.; Unified information field. Free spirit and mind...

All this was a very long time ago. Then something happened and we lost these opportunities. Forgot about awareness. But this world, in general, has not gone away. He is all around us. It’s just that we are now kind of blind and weak in it.
...But not all. And not always...

Once on the train she told me a story. The story happened when Sasha lived in Semiozerye. It's near St. Petersburg. There they had one unusual monk. Seer. Knowing. Real. So, having heard her songs, he approached her and said: “You are recreating the world that was before.” Sasha finished the story and fell asleep. The train was taking us on tour. This was the first tour in our lives. And the group didn’t even have a name at that time. This is how it happens - there is a tour, but there is no name :) All night I was spinning all these things in my head, and in the morning I suggested the name “Atlantis”. Because with her songs she really recreates “the world that was before”...

In Sumerian-Babylonian mythology, the goddess Tiamat is considered salt water. She, together with Abzu, the god of fresh waters, gave birth to other minor gods. The ancestor looked like a winged lion with a bird's tail. She was depicted with a belly, chest, neck, head, eyes, nostrils and lips. Marduk created the earth and sky from this body.

Who is Tiamat?

Long ago, in Mesopotamia, when there were no forms or rules yet, two creatures appeared. The first, Apsu, a male, took over fresh waters. The second is female, ruling the salty waters, called Tiamat, mistress of chaos. According to legend, Tiamat is, according to mythology, a dragon with lion fangs, crocodile jaws, bat wings, lizard paws, eagle claws, and the body of a python. This is how the ancient Babylonians depicted the ancestress.

Tiamat - mythology

Since ancient times, people have known that the Moon influences the sea. Tiamat the demon was a Moon goddess; her cult was overthrown by sun worshipers. The inhabitants of the Mesopotamian period used the chronology created by Madruk. Tiamat, the goddess, remained, but no longer supreme, although human sacrifices continued to be made to her.

Over time, matriarchy gave way to patriarchy, it was necessary to change the gods. Female images faded into the background and became demonic. Now Tiamat is a demon, the embodiment of evil in the form of a snake. And Bel-Marduk became the new god. He overthrew the ancestress, accusing her of eschatological intentions. But the misadventures of the goddess did not end there. She was resurrected, only to later die at the hands of the Archangel Michael.

Children of Tiamat

The god of fresh rivers and streams Apsu and the goddess of chaos Tiamat united to create other gods and the universe, but the children did not listen, for which Apsu decided to kill them. They learned about the evil intent, and in order to save themselves, they agreed with the god Eya to kill their father. Tiamat, the mother of darkness, did not want to kill the children, but when Eya dealt with his beloved Apsu, she also began to fight them.

Soon Tiamat had a new lover, Kingu. With him, the goddess gave birth to thousands of monsters. The little gods, the children of the ancestress, did not dare to enter into battle with her, but one day the son of Ey, the god Marduk, decided to challenge the dragon. The children promised that if he was victorious, he would become the king of the gods. He agreed. He made a net, caught Kinga and other monsters from it, chained them and left them in the Underworld. After this, in a fight with Tiamat, he killed her, creating heaven from one half of her body and earth from the other.

Tiamat and Abzu

Tiamat is the goddess of chaos, her husband Abzu is the god of underground waters. Their marriage appeared at a time when fresh waters began flowing from the depths of the earth. Noah (Enki) kills Abzu, after which he creates people from clay. This means that groundwater is returned underground and the land is drained. New people are appearing on the surface again. After the death of Abzu, Tiamat makes the monster Kingu. He becomes the main one in the war among the younger generation. He then takes the place of Tiamat's second consort.

Tiamat and Marduk

The wisdom and courage of Marduk is spoken of in many chronicles and myths. He was depicted spitting fire, with four eyes and ears. There were hurricanes and whirlwinds during his reign. The Babylonian priests considered him the lord of the gods. Solemn processions were held in his honor. He, omnipotent and brave, went out to fight the ancient gods. They were angry at his strength, but he alone was able to defeat them and create his own order in the world. Tiamat's womb, which gave birth to life, was destroyed by Marduk.

She gathered all the monsters, putting her husband Kinga in charge, and prepared for battle. At the request of the younger gods, Marduk went out to battle. He was armed with a club, a net and a bow. Together with the winds and storms, he went to meet Tiamat and her monsters. The fight was terrible. The goddess tried to destroy the enemy, drown him, but he turned out to be more cunning. Throwing a net, he entangled Tiamat with it and weakened her. Then he shot an arrow into the body. Thus Tiamat was finished. After that, he easily dealt with her monsters. Some were captured, others fled. Marduk emerged the absolute winner.

Hello again. We continue our series of articles dedicated to dragons. And today we will introduce you to another representative of this species, which Ishibumi-sensei made part of his world.
So, meet:

Tiamat is the world ocean-chaos of salty waters, from which everything was born (including the gods) in
Sumerian-Babylonian mythology. According to the Sumerian-Akkadian cosmogonic epic "Enuma Elish",
Tiamat mixed her waters with the Abzu, thereby giving birth to the world. Tiamat was depicted as a four-legged
a monster with wings; the gods who were born entered into a struggle with her, and Marduk, who killed her, from her body
creates heaven and earth.
Since the spelling of the word "Tiamat" in the Enuma Elish lacks the determiner DINGIR, meaning "deity", Tiamat should be considered a natural element or element rather than a goddess. The poem "Enuma Elish" is named after the first words: "when above" there was no heaven, and no
there was land below, there was only the freshwater ocean Apsu "first, best", and
salty ocean Tiamat “she who gave birth to everyone” and “everyone was mixed in her waters.” In Mesopotamia, female deities were believed to be older than male ones, and Tiamat was part of a cult that deified the creative power of water.
The Babylonian priests wrote that before the light was separated from the darkness, the god Marduk killed his mother, the dragon Tiamat, who hated all order:
"In ancient times, when everything was still devoid of form, two primordial beings arose. One of them, male, was called Apsu and began to rule the fresh waters and emptiness, while the other, female, named Tiamat, began to rule the salt waters and chaos Tiamat was a dragon with the jaws of a crocodile, the fangs of a lion, the webbed wings of a bat, the feet of a lizard, the claws of an eagle, the body of a python, and the horns of an ox.
From the union of these two creatures came the gods, one of whom killed his father, Apsu. In a furious rage, Tiamat gave birth to new offspring, terrible monsters, wanting them to destroy the gods. Among these monsters were scorpion people, demonic lions, giant snakes and dragons covered with sparkling scales, similar to Tiamat herself. The celestials entrusted the god Marduk, who later became the ruler of the universe, to repel the enemy. Armed with a club, a net, poison, a bow and arrows and a beam of sparkling lightning, the divine warrior mounted a thunderous chariot drawn by four ferocious horses, fast as the wind, and set off to meet the enemy, accompanied by four heavenly winds and a furious hurricane.

He looked everywhere for his mother Tiamat. Finally, Marduk contrived to catch her in his net spread in the abyss. Then he ordered the four winds to blow into her mouth so that she could not close her mouth, and he, taking aim, struck her with an arrow, which, flying between her open jaws, pierced her heart.
And he cut her insides and pierced her heart, and, depriving her of strength, destroyed the life in her. And he stepped with his feet on her lifeless body. The death of Tiamat plunged her beast-like offspring into horror, and they, no longer thinking about battle, tried to escape from Marduk by flight. But the warrior caught them all in his net and, shackling them in chains, imprisoned them in hell. Then he cut the monstrous carcass of Tiamat in half, “like cutting a fish,” and created the firmament of heaven from one half, and the firmament of the earth from the other. For the gods, he built magnificent chambers in the heavens, placed the stars and the moon - the keeper of time - on the firmament, and from the blood of one of the monsters generated by Tiamat he created people to serve the gods, “so that the gods would live in a world that makes their hearts happy.”
Thus, in the minds of the first people who comprehended the mystery of the origin of the universe, our world was created from primordial chaos. Almost the same legends about the origin of the universe have developed in other countries, even very distant from Babylon, in India and Denmark, for example. In Babylon itself, the story of the battle with the first dragon was read out to the people every year, so that people would remember their origins and the beginnings of the world in which they live, and honor the first dragon slayer who defeated the fiend of darkness.

Tiamat is also found in modern culture. In the Dungeons & Dragons universe, which can rightfully be considered a paradise for dragons, Tiamat is an evil goddess. Five-headed queen of chromatic dragons.
Tiamat is also found in other games. In the Disciples universe, for example, Tiamat appears as a demon rather than a dragon. It is also often found in the Final Fantasy universe.
Musicians were not spared either. Many people should be familiar with the group of the same name.

Well, this time the article was not so voluminous. But, I hope, informative enough. Next time we will look at a more interesting representative of the dragon family. In the meantime, I hasten to say goodbye to you. See you again!

Tiamat (“sea”) - in Akkadian mythology (cosmogonic poem “Enuma Elish”) the personification of the primordial element, the embodiment of world chaos. Tiamat, the creator, together with her husband Apsu (Abzu), of the first gods Lahmu and Lahamu, in a cosmic battle between the generation of elder gods (headed by Tiamat) and the younger gods led by Marduk, is killed by Marduk; he cuts Tiamat's body into two parts, making heaven from the first and earth from the second. Depicted (presumably) as a monstrous dragon or a seven-headed hydra.

The origin of this goddess with a very difficult fate is lost in the origins of the most ancient Mesopotamian religions.

She was probably once an analogue of Gaia among one of the powerful tribes that made up the Akkadian or Sumerian civilization. She could also play a more important, but closer role as the goddess of fertility and childbirth.

In ancient times, there was a custom not to overthrow the gods of conquered peoples, but to annex them to their pantheons, even simply to take idols from the conquered lands to the capital. This is how the gods of individual localities and cities appeared. Often conquerors mixed up their own and borrowed gods and forgot which was whose, as, for example, the Romans did when they foolishly conquered Greece.

The Babylonians made Tiamat the mother of the gods. They gave her the image of a dragon.

In the Mesopotamian creation epic, everything begins with water in a state of chaos. Apsu, the fresh water of streams and rivers, and Tiamat, the sea of ​​salt water, united to create the universe and the gods. God Apsu, angry at the children for their disobedience, wanted to kill them. Having learned about this plan, the children-gods sent the god Ey to kill their father.

Tiamat, who did not want to kill her children, after the death of her beloved god Apsu, also entered into a fight with them.
From her new lover, Kingu, the goddess gave birth to thousands of monsters. The child gods were afraid to enter into battle with Tiamat until the god Marduk, the son of Ey, decided to challenge her, they promised Marduk that if he defeated Tiamat they would make him king of the gods.
Having made a net, Marduk caught Kinga and all the monsters in it, chained them and threw them into the Underworld. He then fought with his mother Tiamat and killed her. From one half of her body he created the sky, and from the other - the earth. From Kingu's blood he made people. Marduk then built a dwelling in the sky for the gods, arranged the stars in the sky and determined the length of the year.
It has long been known that the Moon influences the seas. Therefore, Tiamat could represent the triple Moon Goddess, whose cult was overthrown by the sun worshipers. This explains the statement that the length of the year was determined by Marduk. Since ancient times, the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, like representatives of many other civilizations, used the lunar calendar.

Tiamat ceased to be supreme, but remained a goddess. They still made human sacrifices to her, just like in the old days.

Time passed. Patriarchy has replaced matriarchy. it was necessary to change the gods. Female deities became secondary, or even demonic. Almost all known Asian civilizations went through this. Tiamat became the embodiment of the evil of the underworld in the form of a snake. The new warrior god Bel-Marduk defeated and, having overthrown her allegedly for eschatological intentions, created heaven and earth from pieces of her body.

The misfortunes of the goddess did not end there. Christian demonology has mentioned her with an unkind word in several works. Tiamat was resurrected only to be killed by the Archangel Michael.

Yes, you can’t envy such a fate. They won't let you live or die in peace.

Liber Azerate, the book of Wrathful Chaos, states that the dragon is the most ancient symbol of chaos. Pre-cosmic primordial chaos is represented by the dragon Tiamat. And the post-cosmic wrathful chaos is personified by the black dragon Khubur. Thus, the publication of TOTBL, the Temple of Black Light, formerly known as the Misanthropic Luciferian Order, notes the importance of working with this dark entity.

In the text of this “Necronomicon” there is a chapter “The Scripture of Magan”. It describes various Sumerian-Akkadian myths, revised and added by the author in his own way. Including “Enuma elish”, and the text “Inanna’s Descent into the Underworld” appears under the title “On the Dream of Ishtar”.

The above is a quote from the Enuma Elish, which in Simon's revised form looks like this:

Hubur has ascended, She who gives birth to everything
And he wields Sorcery like our Lord.
She added unsurpassed weapons to the Ancients' arsenals.
Serpent-Monster pleased
Sharp to the tooth, long to the tooth,
Filled their bodies with blood poison.
She clothed the roaring dragons with horror,
She crowned them with halos, likening them to gods.

In the text “On the Dream of Ishtar,” Simon, narrating what the spirits sent for Ishtar see in the underground Kur, adds about Khubur:

Unseen Monsters,
Centuries at dawn located,
Located in the battle of Marduk and Tiamat,
Located Khubur,
With the sign of Khubur
King's followers...

In the context of these two quotes from Simon's Necronomicon, one might already think that Hubur is not identical to Tiamat. Thus, the beginning has been made for a misunderstanding of the essence of Khubur. The epithet of the original mother Tiamat gradually acquires the attributes of a separate dark entity.

However, the final and main role in the cultivation of this division into Tiamat and Khubur was played by the book Liber Azerate. It is the next reworking of the Enuma Elish myth, which in this book is called “Kagiri Ushumgal”, that assigns Khubur a new role. The role of a dark and terrible, and at the same time independent and self-sufficient entity. Imbued with hatred of the ordered and its gods, the text “Kagiri Ushumgal”, as part of the Book of Wrathful Chaos, was published by followers of kaosophy in 2002 and translated into Russian six years later.

At the very beginning of this article, it was said about the position of the authors of Liber Azerate regarding the role of Tiamat-Khubur. I repeat, the primordial chaos is represented by the dragon Tiamat, and the post-cosmic chaos is personified by the black dragon Hubur. In Kagiri Ushumgal, she played a huge role in the war lost by the chaotic gods. Compare the short Enuma Elish passage quoted above, given in the standard translation, as well as in Simon's treatment, with the MLO edition. It has significantly expanded in detail and introduces new meanings:

Mother Tiamat, filled with hatred, cast ancient spells and with her magic summoned Khubur, Khubur - the high priestess of Tiamat, Khubur - the creator of demons.
Tiamat told her: “Create legions of retribution, create demons of disorder, create gods of destruction, for I, Tiamat, the most powerful and ancient among the gods of chaos, demand the blood of new gods as a sacrifice. Create armies of chaos warriors who will avenge the death of Absu. Create the avengers of chaos, my devoted Hubur, and avenge the dragon's sorrow." Hubur, the furious shadow of Tiamat, bowed before the dragon throne and with her black magic summoned dragon monsters with sharp poisonous fangs. Instead of blood, she filled their bodies with poison, and she clothed the furious giant dragons in horror. She surrounded them with a radiance of terror and made them gods, and those who would set out to oppose them would be destroyed.

As the quote suggests, it is Hubur who creates hordes of monsters for battle on the orders of the goddess of chaos Tiamat. Here there is already a complete division of the dark mother into two entities. Also interesting is the further story about the calling of Kingu to lead the legions of Chaos, who is the husband of Hubur as interpreted by the authors from MLO. It is the great dark priestess who takes on the entire role, and not Tiamat, as is customary in the classic text “Enuma Elish”:

When everything was ready, Hubur knelt before the dragon Tiamat. Tiamat, the great dragon, Tiamat, the personification of the primordial chaos, exclaimed in a voice filled with hatred: “Hubur, my devoted priestess, I am pleased with everything that you have created, but who will lead these eleven to complete victory and bring the torn souls of the bastard gods to me sacrifice? In response to the chaos dragon's question, Khubur summoned her husband with her black magic, she called. Before Tiamat's throne she praised Kinga, and in the name of Tiamat she chose Kinga as leader of the army. Khubur chose Kinga to lead the evil army, to raise arms in battle, she transferred the command of the battle into the hands of King. Khubur allowed King to take his place on the council, and before the throne of Tiamat she spoke to her husband, the powerful King: “I cast a spell, I made you great among the gods, I filled your hands with power over all the gods, now you are more powerful than ever.” or, my husband. May the filthy bastard gods under your feet be crushed." Hubur gave Kingu the tablets of fate and tied them with a belt on his chest, the great prince of chaos, warlord Kingu.

After Tiamat's battle with Marduk, other MLO innovations to the Enuma Elish myth appear. They put forward a different concept, complementing the classic legend. In their version, after the fall of the Chaos dragon, Hubur, using magical powers, takes away the blood of the deceased Tiamat:

When Kingu's troops saw the fall of the dragon, it confused them. But the high priestess of chaos, invisibly present in the battle, the demonic sorceress Khubur, who watched the battle, turned into a black wind. Before the spilled blood of Tiamat touched the earth, before the spilled blood of the chaos dragon was desecrated by the dirty Marduk, Hubur collected the blood of the great dragon and took it to places unknown to the light gods. The devoted Khubur, the mother of black magic, the evil witch Khubur took the blood to the darkest lands and splashed it into the endless void. From the blood of the dragon arose a powerful kingdom of wrathful chaos. From the blood of ancient chaos, the avengers of darkness have grown up to avenge the fall of the dragon's throne. The blood of the dragon mother spread, and so chaos surrounded everything that was supposed to become space. In the darkness of furious chaos dwell evil demons, thirsty in anticipation. The treacherous Marduk, not knowing about the deeds of Hubur, not knowing about the new demonic kingdom, stood near the body of the “dead” dragon and collected his weapons.”

Thus, it is worth noting the great importance of Khubur for the modern priest within the framework of the practice of kaosophy. Much of the magical practice of anti-cosmic Satanism is tied specifically to Khubur. She is mentioned frequently in hymns and ritual texts found in Liber Azerate. Her sigil is also given there:

Consequently, this is how the image of Khubur was formed as an independent dark mother of witchcraft and magic, the mistress of Chaos in the absence of Tiamat. Relying on the classical understanding, where Khubur is an epithet of Tiamat, or adhering to the modern concept from Liber Azerate remains an individual decision for everyone on the path of occult-magical practice.
