Hadad, the Shepherd, (2) (who hath conquered) the Flood,

Unto the midst of his mountain.

Verily, the god of Tsapan, to the midst of (3) the mount of triumph

(Bearing) seven bolts of lightning and (4) eight vessels of thunder.

The tree of lightning he createth.

(5) His head is marvelous.

The dew (runneth) between his eyes

(6) His leg speaketh his raging power

Yea, even his horns which he beareth.

His head doth descend from the heavens,

(8) from the tabernacle of the Bull.

(Behold) his mouth, like two clouds

(9) […] like wine, the beloved one

[…]

A warrior thy walls

Thou shalt lift up thine eyes to Baal and say:

《 If thou, O Baal, drivest away the mighty one from our gate,

The warrior from our walls,

A bull, O Baal, shall we sanctify [QDŠ],

A vow [MḎR], O Baal, shall we fulfill;

A firstborn*, O Baal, shall we sanctify,

A ḤTP-offering, O Baal, shall we fulfill,

A feast, O Baal, shall we offer,

To the sanctum [QDŠ], O Baal, shall we ascend,

Yea, that path, O Baal, shall we walk. 》

And thus Baal shall hear thy prayer;

He shall drive away the mighty foe from thy gate,

The warrior from thy walls.

[*Reading is uncertain, has been interpreted both as “male” and as “firstborn”. Some commentators suggest it refers to the so-called “Molk” sacrifices of human infants made infamous by Greek and Hebrew accounts. However, it has also been pointed out that such sacrifices were predominantly ascribed to Phoenicia and Carthage, being otherwise unattested in Ugaritic sources; in any case, “firstborn” could just as well refer to animal victims.]

2 poems/songs, both in Ugaritic, and chapters 1-4 of Gideon the Ninth in Biblical Hebrew — both poems have a back translation into English, and GtN has extremely thorough notes for those of us who don’t speak ancient Semitic languages :)

As I wake up the first time this morning (3:10 am) there are alien (possibly cuneiform) letters burnt into the walls, my dream was insane. It started off in a giant circular library where I was getting books and guitar pedals. I went to a section where I was trying out guitar pedals with my bass and I found two that modulated based around the merkaba measurements and something called the lotus point. Something about 19 layers one nanometer thin. Then when I went back to checkout I was in an inner circle of the library where they had ancient miniatures and games from all around the world and I stopped at the Greek ones and saw a bunch of miniatures playing hand sports. And one on the top shelf based around wolves and one around carrion. Then I was back in line with a bunch of books I was going to try connecting to Kabbalah and using for inspiration. At some point in the dream an old man asked me some questions and I started talking about Kabbalah and next thing you know he was blowing up at me in an ancient alien language about how I knew nothing about the “bbalah” and that “this is real bbalah” before he started changing his shape subtly. Eventually I made friends with him and then the miniatures scene happened, including a part where I circled around the inner circle of the library and the books included “pessimism”, “law study” and “classic literature of the _____ civilization”. Some time passes in the dream waiting to be checked out, the pedals in my hands shifting. I meet someone new, who is using Kabbalah to shift stuff and steal them, he’s trying to convince me to get more pedals. I see a band farther up in line jamming together with their instruments as they wait to be checked out. More time passes and I’m listening to a band that sounds like an 80s new wave/alternative band but are singing in (idk how I know this I just do) ugaritic and I open the Wikipedia article on them and it says they sing in what was thought to be a dead language but is in fact spoken by a small percentage of people within a tiny area on a backwater planet (earth) in a backwater town with tons of history. It then goes on to describe ancient Sumer and the history of the ancient Semitic people and then cuts out when it reaches the Israelites. Back to their music it now sounds like 90s trip hop/dance music but somehow still retains a layer of the 80s alternative/new wave. Then I woke up.

So. Interpretation is gonna be crazy, but I was saying a bunch of barbarous names from the Greek magic paper before I went to sleep so it’s possible I accidentally called an entity for a visionary dream, hence the blazing cuneiform characters burned into my retinas when I awoke. But anyway, even this description is a TL;DR of my dream but to summarize what I think this dream means, I’m in a circular library with squares inside it made of bookshelf’s holding all kinds of artifacts, not just books. Making it more of a museum tbh. Sometimes it seems to be in present times, sometimes in the far future and other times the past. Time is not fixed here. Neither is space, as I encounter many alien beings who inhabit human bodies but have special quirks and abilities. Anyway, skipping small details and such, I think the squares in the circle represent me exploring the history of human evolution, experience and ultimately, consciousness. I think this was a message that Kabbalah was held by ALL the ancient Semitic people, possibly descending from the original inhabitants of Sumer, as Sumeria and ancient Semitic are both referenced numerous times in the finer details I didn’t talk about. And the Greek hand sports were important because they were next to what looked like sumerian chess, as well as representing the animal aspect of human consciousness and Greece’s ultimate connection to Kabbalah as well in the form of number mysticism as the number of figures playing the hand sports on the 3 racks of figures was 3-5-7. Always with one taller/larger/older figure in the center between the opposing two teams of 1-2-3.
