Ancient Near East Mysticism Course: Unlock Sacred Knowledge

"Baal Kadmon is a treasure in our community. His knowledge on these subjects is one that can only be required after years of study. He takes that knowledge and creates books, and courses that can change our lives and help us build a deeper understanding of these subjects. He has created something unique and beautiful. By far my all-time favorite occult author. Now the courses he provides are easy to navigate, his voice is calming, and you will learn something new. I have been working with Lilith for years now. I have dug through her lore and yet this course was eye opening. You cannot go wrong. I promise.

Teala Petrova

Most Western occultism treats Greece and Rome as the starting line. The actual starting line is two thousand years earlier, in Mesopotamia and Egypt. The first written magical texts in human history were not Greek. They were Sumerian and Akkadian and Egyptian. The first documented goddess was not Isis or Aphrodite. She was Inanna. The first systematic demonology was not Christian. It was Mesopotamian. Almost everything Western esotericism takes credit for has older roots in this geographical region.

This path is built from the actual sources. The Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts, the Book of the Dead, and the temple inscriptions for Egypt. The Sumerian Descent of Inanna and the Akkadian Descent of Ishtar for Inanna and Ereshkigal. The Akkadian and Sumerian magical record for Pazuzu. The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Qumran sectarian literature for the Second Temple Jewish tradition that synthesized much of what came before.

The path covers five courses across three civilizations and one transitional Jewish moment. Egypt for the temple tradition and the gods. Mesopotamia for Inanna, her sister Ereshkigal in the underworld, and Pazuzu in the magical record. The Dead Sea Scrolls for how all of this fed into the Second Temple Jewish tradition that shaped everything Western esotericism inherited from the ancient world. Take the courses in any order. The bundle gives you all five.

The Five Courses on the Path

Each course traces back to the actual sources of its tradition. Take them in any order. The bundle gives you all of them.

Ancient Egypt: History, Hieroglyphs, and Magick

Egyptian magick is the oldest continuously documented magical tradition on earth. Three thousand years of practice preserved in the Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts, the Book of the Dead, the temple inscriptions, and the magical papyri. This course works through the actual hieroglyphic record, the major deities and their authentic functions in the temple tradition, the role of magic in daily Egyptian life, and the practical work of engaging the gods through nine guided rituals built from the historical record.

The Inanna Experience

Inanna is the Sumerian Queen of Heaven, the oldest documented goddess in human literature. Her cycle of love, war, descent to the underworld, and return shaped every later goddess narrative across the ancient Near East and the Mediterranean world. This course is the focused introduction to working with her: her place in the Sumerian pantheon, her relationship to Ereshkigal, and the meditative framework for engaging her presence directly. Five videos.

Embracing the Shadow: Ereshkigal

Ereshkigal is the Mesopotamian queen of the underworld, sister to Inanna, the goddess at the center of one of the oldest descent myths in human literature. The Sumerian Descent of Inanna and the Akkadian Descent of Ishtar describe Inanna journeying down through seven gates to Ereshkigal's realm, where she is stripped of her regalia and put to death before being restored. This course works through the Mesopotamian texts and provides the meditative framework for engaging Ereshkigal as the practitioner descends. Thirty-three videos.

Summoning the Wind: Pazuzu

Pazuzu is one of the oldest documented entities in the magical record, going back to the Akkadian and Sumerian periods. The actual Mesopotamian Pazuzu is a more complex figure than Hollywood made him. He is feared, but he is also invoked apotropaically against the demoness Lamashtu, who threatened pregnant women and infants. Protective Pazuzu amulets are among the oldest magical artifacts ever recovered. Twenty-five videos working through the historical context and the practical applications for protection and spiritual development.

Echoes of History: The Dead Sea Scrolls

The Dead Sea Scrolls are the most important manuscript discovery of the twentieth century for Jewish religious history. They preserve mystical, apocalyptic, and sectarian texts from the second temple period that synthesize the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Iranian influences inherited from the ancient Near East with the developing Jewish tradition. This course works through the scrolls and the desert sect that produced them. Seventy videos.

The five courses sold individually total $525. The bundle price is below.
