Foreword

Come and join us o reader, as we explore terrors older than man-kind. Ancient people of the Near East believed that, long before

there was Adam and Eve, a race made from smokeless fire existed.

Fourteen hundred years ago, the Quran made mention of this race

when it referred to the existence of two sunrises and two sunsets

occurring at once. The existence of two earths was repeatedly men-

tioned in the Quran, one earth inhabited by the descendants of manand the other by the descendants ofJan.

1 . He created man from clay, like potter’s clay

2. And the jinn he created from the smokeless flame of fire

3. Then which of the blessings ofyour Lord will you both

4. [He is] Lord of the two Easts and Lord of the two Wests

5. Then which of the blessings ofyour Lord will you both

deny?

Surat al-Rahman

Many of those ancient ones followed the religion of the serpent

Iblis. As an immortal jinni, Iblis swore a vow before God to wagewar against humankind. Not a war where missiles and weapons fall

upon our cities, but a war of deception and trickcry.The battleground

was the minds and souls of humanity. It was no major feat to exploit

humanity’s worst nature so that we might slowly destroy ourselves.

As we wage wars and build towering cities over a dying planet, Iblis

stands behind the veil, empowered by his unholy crusade that spans

the ages, confident that he will succeed.

1. Lie has turned loose the two seas, meeting together

2. Between them is a barrier neither can transgress

3. Then which of the blessings ofyour Lord will you both

Surat al-Rahman

Book of Deadly Names: foreward Book ofDeadly Names: foreword

Evil jinn have poured into our world from the darkness of a paral-

lel earth whose oceans and ours touch through a dimensional parti-

tion. Demons, the ancients called those creatures ofpure shadow and

darkness that cast terror into the hearts of the mightiest warriors.

Their leader was nicknamed Shitan (Satan), or the adversary, and

his followers, Shiateen (Satanists). The partition protects us from

being overrun and destroyed, but some have learned how to cross

over. Others continue to gnaw at the fabric, hoping to tear it enough

that forces that would devour us can come through in mass.

This and many other similar oral stories descended to us in our

secular scientific age, as fables and myths of a time of war between

man and fabulous beasts and giants. Take, for example, the fabled

jinn king al-Ghoul whose daughters, when crossing over, found the

taste ofhuman flesh and our blood pleasing. Those drinkers ofblood

and devourers of human flesh were recorded in the ancient world as

the ghastly Ghouls. Whether we believe matters not, for the impact

of those ancient legends still touches a nerve deep in our collective

memories. We now use the same accounts to entertain and frighten

ourselves through the media, oblivious to any real danger. As what

could very well be their ships phase into our space and create global

phenomena, we still look up to the skies wondering if we are truly

alone.

The evil jinn’s war upon the earth was interrupted once, at least.

The unsuspecting hero was no other than the wise King Solomon,

son of David. Empowered by God and an instrument known as the

Ring ofSolomon he was able to constrain and bind the seventy-two

worst of those terrors in the bowels of the sea and other far reaches

of the earth. Many others of the jinn were forced into slavery to

help him establish his kingdom upon the earth. Briefly, the tables

were turned on the ancient ones. A complete accounting of all that

happened is unknown, for all the legends and stories conflict. One

thing is certain - an actual record of those beings and records ofhow

to do what King Solomon did became one of the most sought after

secrets of the occult world.

The oldest grimoires that talk about those ancient ones mention

no benefit to any sorcerer that commands them and, for the most

part, give no tool or method ofevocation. Examples ofsuch magical

tomes are theTestament of King Solomon and the Sepher MaphteahShelomoh (Book of the Key of Solomon), translated by HermannGollancz. The manuscript translated in this book is an example of

the oldest known Arabic version of the same tale.

Serious practitioners of magic know that our craft, both ancient

and modern, is not about dark and horrible rites that summon ghast-

ly beasts, make pacts with demons, or enslave spirits. Yet, one of the

most sought after aspects of our art seems to be just that. The thrill,

the excitement, the rush of standing in a magical circle drawn from

one of those ancient grimoires and commanding one of the ancient

ones to do one’s bidding can fill a magician with a sense of personal

power. Magicians today, who want to recapture this thrill by evoking

those demons for material aid, have books such as the Lesser Key of

Solomon to guide them.

Of course, reality is never as exciting or fulfilling as the myths and

stories surrounding the dreams of power. For the most part, few ma-gicians who have worked with such tomes have had physical mani-

festations of those demons. What I mean by physical manifestation

is concrete, tangible, creatures that can actually cause physical harmor physically manifest things that can’t be explained by coincidence

or self-hypnosis. Many of the self-styled adepts of evocation would

be the first to tell you that there are no horned, tailed, hoofed critters

from the depths of hell and any one who’ll tell you otherwise is most

likely delusional or selling you snake oil. The majority consensus

is that it’s all parts of the subconscious. We are projecting mental

shadows into mirrors in a complex act of fantasy psycho-drama and

conversing with them, Some would admit to certain physical mani-

festations, but they are talking about things like smoke that forms

shapes, strong energies or feelings, black clouds, and so on. I recall

a conversation with one magician who told me he will believe in

the objective existence of those beings when one of them actually

stretches a hand out of the mirror and touches him.

There are some explanations for this disconnect between the

myths and reality. The most logical reason is that on some level

people have been following a false premise. According to the re-

Rook of Deadly Names: forewordBook of Deadly Names: foreward

ligious narrative, the power of King Solomon was given to him by

God and he asked that this power not be passed to any after him.

This doesn’t deny the validity of magical evocation techniques, hut

it is questionable that the same evil beings supposedly bound by

King Solomon would have been best suited to aid the surnmoner

or would have responded to any man who seeks to bind and control

titans for his person errands. Fortunately, it is also highly unlikely

that the names mentioned in more popular renditions, such as the

Lesser Key, were the exact same demons that King Solomon had to

contend with.

'Hie second reason is technical and rests on knowing the proper

methodology for evocation. So little of the ancient techniques have

survived in English writings that most modern magicians have had

to construct their own theses on how it is done. When failing to

achieve the same goals and recreate the success of the ancients, mod-

ern magicians simply redefined the goal and the objectives. When

one can’t achieve physical flight, it is easy to be satisfied with flight

of the imagination, the uplifting of the mind.

This is all about to change, as more and more of the original writ-

ings of Arabic magicians and their accounts of jinn magic are being

translated into English. In time, even the rank beginner will begin

to attain more physical results than the adepts of the previous gen-

eration ofWestern magicians. This comes with a risk. 1 lie writers

of ancient times expected everyone to have a teacher. They passed

on their greatest secrets orally. One such important secret is of the

complete names and descriptions of the jinn. Should a present day

seeker pick up a modern translation today, they wouldn’t be able to

ascertain whether they were summoning a benevolent jinn or one of

the commanders of Iblis's army.

You can navigate around this mine field with the Book of Deadly

Names. The manuscript provides one of the rarest lists of evil jinn

names. It lists the name, location, description, physical harm, and

remedy for the seventy-two worst of them. Most important to mod-

em magicians would he the list ol names. 1 realize that in the hands

of the demented, such a list could easily be used to summon horrors

most can never truly banish. However, it is an important tool lor

sincere seekers to provide familiarity with the enemy and a wav to

avoid inadvertently summoning those forces.

The manuscript itselfwas first discovered in 1969 during the pres-

ervation of a palace in Ocana in Spain, which was marked: Houseof the Royal Commissioner. It consists of 71 folios of 210 x 150

mm and dates back to 831 Hegira, or 1428 AD. The first transla-

tion was made into Spanish by Joaquina Navarro and Juan Ruiz

and published by the University ofGranada. The manuscript's text

is hand-written, using the old African Arabic common around the

10'-' century. It contains many references to Hebrew Names of Godand the Star ol David. In an age and a place where such manuscripts

flourished, the manuscript was walled off and hidden from mortal

gaze, but not destroyed. We can only guess at the reason.

I got a glimpse of its power upon its discovery. 1 had stumbled

upon it by accident during a visit to a university library' in the mid

1990s. It was among a stack of books that fell from a shelf. I knelt

on the floor to pick up the books, and discovered the manuscript.

As 1 stood up, for the first time I saw a being made of pure shadow

with eyes like fire standing there. I saw it physically and clearly, like

I could see any object, for 30 seconds before it disappeared. Never

before had I seen such a thing and to say 1 was shocked would be

putting it mildly. 1 quickly tried to get the manuscript photocopied,

but for unknown reason the copiers weren’t working. The librarian

asked me to follow him and he led me behind the counter into the

staffrooms and through a back door to the outside. He said I could

use one of the photocopiers in another building on the campus; then

he went back in. I could have easily taken the book home. I was nei-

ther a student nor did I have an account at the library. 1 knew it wasthe doing of that being. 1 quickly photocopied it and returned the

book lest I be tempted into theft.

During the translation process, physical manifestations occurred

to different people or their friends before they were asked to join

the project. The editor’s best friend, a down-to-earth non-religious

individual, woke up to see a bearded man wearing a turban, with

eyes like fire, standing in her bedroom doorway. She screamed at

him and he walked into the bathroom. She followed him there, but

if!•

Book of Deadly Names: fbreward

he had disappeared and all that was left were blood stains on the

counter that couldn’t he cleaned off. Other manifestations involved

the sudden appearance of deep scratches like those of a bear, on the

wall both in my home and in a house where 1 was visiting. People

experienced headaches and became ill at ease just driving up to the

house and a few fled quickly from what they felt was an invisible

danger. On more than one occasion, our cat’s tail caught on fire from

a candle and she stood there unflinching and storing into the air.

Other signs of haunting, such as people hearing their names while

no one was there, feeling really hot in cold rooms or vice versa, feel-

ing watched and so on, were common.

1 suspect the evil jinn did not intend to block the book, since they

could easily have done much more. 1 suspect they want the book

out because they expect someone out there to summon them and, in

doing so, help them cross over the veil. My hope is that you won’t

be the one to give them that chance and that you’ll use the book for

what it was intended, as a guide in navigating grimoires or tor help-

ing cure whatever harm they may inflict.

JM the Shiateit were governed with utmost dominion. That is because Jod, the

Cjreat and JTlmighty, gave to Solomon, peace be upon him, the grand, radiant, il-

upon (jod gathered in it Diis kingship and ordained in it Hits grace and ability. Then

he said, “DWy Jlord, grant me a kingship never to be attained by anyone else ajter

me. y,ou arc the grantor." Therefore, Jod subjugated the wind, the birds, the Jinn

and the hutnans to him. Die gathered to him from among them ei’cry mason and diver,

submitted all the nations to him, subjugated to him the wiiuls flowing by his command

and resting at his destination and from the Shiateen aery mason, diver and others

residing in shackles. These Die gave to him as a boon and empowered him without

'When this was fulfilled to the prophet of fiod, Jahriel and <_Michael, peace be

Then he gathered the tuitions from the East of the Earth and its 'West, such as

from S'adah, ERome, EBersia, the people of the cities and the philosophers who used to

read the books of wisdom, the most knowledgeable on the earth and the people ofgnosis.

Thereujm each one of them told him what news he had, and what wonders occurred

in his land. Then he asked the Jinn and the Shiateen, and they too told him of their

affairs and they couldn't wiMold anything from him. The first Jinni from among

theifilm and the Shiateen that came to Solomon, peace be upon him, and obeyed him

was a Shitan called jjlcjitush. Die was from among the chiefs of theJinn mid their

leaders and a physician from their nations. Die said to him, “0 truthful prophet and

do from the corruptions, what arc the consequences of their decay, their transgression,

their trickery, and how they spoil the earth, for D know their affairs. Therefore, send

movements, and their settlements."

Therein he sent him with Cjabriel and TWckael, peace be upon them, and with

them the noble ring. They came to their residents at the ends of the horizon, and then

he brought them to the prophet ofJod, Solomon, humbled by permission ofjod, £ord

of dierUniverse . Some of them came by forceand sotneof them came willingly. 'When

they gathered before him, some of them began to wonder about some of the others, and

say: “0 'Wonder! 'Who is this king, to whom Jod has subjected us, and gathered

us around him?" jjltjitush said to them, "Tiost of the Jinn, Jod the (glorious has

made you all subjects unto Ths prophet and messenger. Tie didn't gather you from

every class, from two underworlds, and from the east of the earth and its u>esf except

to destroy you or to guide you. ^ou have refuge neither from Tiis ensuing evil nor

from the command ofJod and his dominion. Y/ni have no dominion over the prophet

ofjod. So, who will rescue you from Jod’s torment, wrath, and hegemony? So then

listen and obey and you will be guided."

Then Solomon, peace be upon him, rose to his court, and sat upon his Chair,

which was placed upon the bed of his kingship, and he drew toward them, so then all of

them congregated from the east of the earth and its west, and the bosoms of the heavens.

Then he praised fjod and thanked Tlim, and offered his oi'ation to Tlim and glorified
