I should not even be publishing this a without the proper empowerments this practice Will kill you or someone else. Grab lightning and a rattlesnake by the hand, but you better have the proper “gloves” on….

The Naga Cult :

The Nagas (female : Nagi/Nagini) in the Religions of the Indian subcontinent are an ancient race of beings, half-human and half-serpent, who live in Lokas or realms beneath the ocean or below the earth in caves and mountains. Whether they are above or below humans in the cosmic hierarchy is debated among yogis and tantrickes of both hands. They seem to be equated with what we in the West might call a helpful fallen angel, much like the Qabalistic angels and demons used in medieval magickes.

While they do dwell beneath us and thus in the dark of our Subconscious, they are supposed to be very Wise and eager to teach, and to be the guardians of great Treasure, sometimes physical but often more astral/spiritual in the form of Termas or hidden tantricke and magickal texts from the past. These are channeled by the present Tertons, or reincarnated shaman tantrickas who hid them in the first place, with the help of these Nagas. One of the foundation teachers of the Madyamika-Tantrayana is Nagarjuna, who in thankas is always shown seated upon a throne of Serpents. He travelled in Nagaloka, met the King of Nagas and his daughter, and obtained from her the Prajnaparamita Sutras. Compare this with the Western Dragon who guards hidden treasures in the Mountain of the Grail. Tertons, who rediscover and reveal Terma, are originally the reincarnations of the chief disciples of Padmasambhava and other masters (like his tantricke consort Yeshe Tsogyal), who have particular connection with the eighteen various kinds of hidden treasures Padmasambhava decided to conceal for us in the future.

Here in the Western hemisphere I believe that there is also terma in the form of knowledge treasures from the past and the future hidden in space/time/vortices in certain places in the woods by the AmerIndians, in the air by dakinis, faeries, and UFO-nauts, in the water by dolphin and whale intelligences, in old metal antiques by the artist/magickians, etc. Thus the knowledge of the old Shamans is still in the woods and stones, which is actually where they got it originally, and also in the archetypal kings and queens of certain animal totems, like the wisdom of bears and snakes. From the past, hieroglyphs can be psychically scanned and retranslated into their spiritual meaning, or even scientific meaning of their inventions that we have lost, like alchemy and the Atlantian’s use of crystal engines.

And the latent future ideas and inventions and inspirations we will benefit from are floating on the archetypal/akashic plane just waiting for us to open our upper chakras and discover these secrets. Man’s future mind dwells now in potential waveforms in space and in the archetype of UFO’s and aliens. All the secrets are hidden in our minds, in our collective memories, in our DNA. You and I have the key within, the Key to the door of knowledge in the intuitive/subconscious, but the Lion/Serpent of the mammalian and reptilian brains are the guardians of the threshold. These guardians are no different than the Dakinis and Nagas that guard the terma, though another source for these entities may be that a Siddha/Magickian has projected his/her own guardian externally on the astral to guard such treasure he has hid. Then your own inner Dragon will have to befriend that Naga and strike a deal. The guardian will be programmed to recognize a kindred soul and the proper timing. Then the doors inner and outer can open. Often the Naga opens the terma, but the Terton cannot read the script of this twilight language. In this case the Terton is not fully ready to completely understand on the inner. He may have to take it to another who will understand, the discoverer being only the carrier of the terma to the real Terton. Or a Terton may discover a treasure of text and hide it, only to discover later that it has disappeared, which means that the time was not right or the Naga has been asleep and opened the terma too soon or for the wrong person. There are myriads of examples and methods that can be applied to the Magicke of Naga-Terma.

Here are some notes from my own experiences with the Naga Current: Crystals, phurbas, athames, or kris-knives are placed into the earth at waterholes or cracks in rocks to cause the serpentine energies and Nagas to arise. Vajras, ratnas, and manistones are placed on the Nagas heads to activate their ajnas to awaken them or to give them something to meditate on or be fascinated with to get around them as guardians. Nagas as guardians of terma will come out from under holes in rocks by springs and will come up to you with fierceness, but if you are not afraid and use the mantra <<Om Mani Padme Hum>>, they will then curl up around you and whisper into your left ear with their tongues waving to hypnotize you with the patterns of alpha and theta waves so you can understand their language and knowledge, but you have to trust and relax. Nagas are the spiral and straight forces of the ley lines and power spots within the Earth. They are evoked within any spiral traced upon the earth,

and with something to climb, which snakes are always enticed to do, like a wand or phurbha, and they are also enticed with mirrors and jewels reflecting the sun/moon/stars. Nagas are the form of the old AmerIndian medicinemen and shamans (of both sexes) who were here before and who dissappeared into various holy and power spots. Nagas are the form of your ancesters by being the form of the DNA/RNA that flows within you from your ancesters, thus they give access to the genetic code, and they help you mutate it. They are the form of the electromagnetic energies of the central nervous system, and of the bloodstream. In airy form as Dragons they are the vital pranas flowing within you. Naga/Dragons are the spiral forms of the weather patterns of the atmosphere, and of the gaseous clouds of the stars of space. Nagas are the colvolutions of our brains and of our guts. To heal someone with a Naga-disease, you can go and heal the diseased Naga itself by offering the medicine into a pool of water near the ill person’s dwelling.

We Westerners are ambiguous about the Serpent, from worshipping it as the giver of Knowledge with the Ophite/Gnostics, to abhoring it as Satan and the cause of all evil in X-ianity. In the same way the people of India also have two opinions about Snake Deities because they come from two races. The older dark Dravidians worshipped the Dark Goddess of the Earth and her Underworld Serpents. The later lighter Aryans brought with them their conquering sky gods, like the winged Garuda of Indra whose cult opposes that of the Nagas to this day.

Grimoire of Za-Rahula-Raksha-NagaRaja :

The chief Nagaraja or Naga King of the race of Nagas and Naginis is the God/Asura/Rakshasha known variously as Za the Protector, Rahula, Ch-em ch’og in Tibetan, or Acala (immovable). The fire god Acala in Japanese Zen/Shinto is probably related in being a protective sword wielding warrior. In the Na-Khi Naga Cult he is known as the demon Zaw-ler-ngv-gu. He is blazing ultraviolet blue/black in colour like this Current of Dark Gods from the peaceful Amoghasiddhi, wrathful MahaKala, thunderbolt Zhonnu. He is the Watcher Za/Rahula/Acala/Naga. This Nagaraja is at the SouthEast of most ritual mandalas.

In the ancient Bon shamanism Za is Zaw, or the 9 planets, and Rahu as Rahula is the eclipse demon. His form is a 9-headed Nagaraja crowned with a black crow head, his coils covered with eyes. In one form he has three heads : one black, one white, and one red. His six arms hold to the right a sword, vajra, and wheel, and to the left a threatening mudra, snare, and hatchet. In another form he has nine heads, wrathful ones below and peaceful above. His four arms hold a Makara staff to the right, snake left, and the two at centre pull a serpentine bow and arrow. In both forms his body is cover with open eyes. And below the waist he is a twisting serpent surrounded by flames within a fiery quadrangle. In a later section are listed the Naga ornaments and Mantra of Za-Rahula.

Rahula is another of the principal Guardians of the Zogchen teachings. His lower body is like that of a snake, while his upper body is covered with eyes, which, together with the further eyes in his nine heads symbolize his ability to see in all directions. His bow and arrow are ready to strike at enemies, and his many mouths areready to devour their ignorance. He is shown in this wood-block print surrounded by flames of high energy, as are all Guardians, but Rahula’s power is so intense that, unless the practitioner has already developed considerable mastery, he can be a dangerous ally of potentially overwhelming power if not approached in the right way. Dorje Legba’s energy is less overwhelming than that of Rahula, he can be approached for assistance with relatively mundane matters, while Ekajati and Rahula are only concerned with matters strictly rrelating to the teachings and realization.

Rahu and Ketu (Dragon’s Head and Tail, the Northern Ascending and Southern Descending Nodes, respectively): These are the live head and truncated body of the demon. Of demonic origin they are essentially evil. Of black complexion, they control blood and skin. Small-pox, cholera, leprosy, plague and other epidemics are caused by them. They rule over prostitutes, gamblers and atheists. Poison is their favorite substance. Both are malefics. According to some authorities, Rahu and ketu are homeless wanderers, but others maintain that Rahu owns Virgo, and Ketu, Pisces, one of the two houses owned by Mercury and Jupiter respectively. Venus and Saturn are their friends, and Sun and Moon, enemies; they are

neutral towards Mars and Jupiter. Rahu and ketu rule the south-west. From the foregoing, it will be noticed that friendship and enmity are not reciprocal among planets. Rahu, for instance, loves Venus and Saturn, but Venus has no love for him.

In Hindu mythology, the demon Rahu is said to have stolen into the ranks of the gods while they were feasting on Amrita or nectar. He sneaked in between Sun and Moon, who were seated together, and these gods, recognizing the fraud, informed Vishnu who was presiding over the feast, about the intruder. Vishnu immediately cut off the demon’s neck. The miscreant, however, had already quaffed the nectar which had been served and hence could not die. So his head remains in the heavens as Rahu and body as Ketu. He is particularly vindictive against Sun and Moon for having informed against him, and eclipses are said to be caused by his trying to swallow them.


In Hindu Astrology
The Boar is Rahu (eclipse)
The Fish is Ketu (comet)

In Hindu astrology
Demon Rahu is portrayed as the Dragon’s head
in the form of a disembodied head
Ketu the Dragon’s tail is in the form of
a headless body holding a sword
standing upon a turtle.

Rahu (the Seizer) : also called
Radiance-of-Soma (Svarbhanu)
son of Vipracitti (Sagracious)
brother of Maya
mother is Simhika (Lioness)

Ketu, the Dragon’s tail
in heaven gives birth to comets and meteors
on earth causes earthquakes

In Hindu Yoga
Rahu is the open top of the central Kundalini channel
the Headless-One of the Zero-state
between the channels of the Sun and Moon

Yantra for Rahu (moon’s north mode, dragon’s head):
for matters of the subtle realm, mental unease,
criminal tendencies, trial, imprisonment,
and insanity

Yantra for Ketu (moon’s south mode, dragon’s tail):
for matters dealing with the health of the
lower body, back troubles, stiff and swollen
joints, internal disorders, veneral diseases,
and disorders of the legs and feet
(in other words – naga diseases)

Zinc is the metal of Rahu and Ketu.

Rahu’s blood touched the earth giving birth to garlic.

Rahu’s stone is Hessonite (gomed):
Garnet family, orange-brown,
the colour of the full moon when eclipsed.
Problems created by Rahu, and treated with
Hessonite include : a sluggish nature, hedonism,
bad luck, suffering, anxiety, insatiable desires,
sense gradification, love of money, power and
fame, dullness, stupidity, mental diseases,
imprisonment, suicidal tendencies, drug addiction
and overdose, ghostly hauntings, etc.
Hessonite gives clarity of mind, removes fear,
and gives persons new insight into their problems.
It’s mantra is:
AUM RAM RAHUVE NAMAHA !

Ketu’s stone is Cat’s/Tiger’s Eye:
Gems of the dark malefic Ketu protect the wearer
from obsessive and compulsive behavior,
animalism, imprisonment, accidents, anxiety and
fear, conspiracies, nightmares, and diseases of the
joints and nerves.
It’s mantra is:
AUM KAIM KETUVE NAMAHA !

<Imagine the following scene : It is midnight on the meridian of Ujjain in India on February 18, 3102 B.C. The seven planets, including the sun and moon, cannot be seen since they are all lined up in one direction on the other side of the earth. Directly overhead the dark planet Rahu hovers invisibly in the blackness of night.>

There may be a relationship between the Phurba gods and the Planetary deities shown in images of gZa-Rahula in which he is stabbing a demon in a triangle with a phurba.

From the <Treasury of the Vast Space of Dharmata> :
The Root Sadhana of the Great Guardian Rahula entitled :
<Taking the Blood of the Life Channel>
from the Treasury of Dudjom Lingpa called
<T’hroma Nagmo- a practice cycle for realization of the wrathful Black Dakini> :

The following will be edited into an obscure language font in copies of this Grimoire circulated to the public :

NAMO GURU SARAHAPA YE:
The great guardian Rahula’s root practice, <Taking the Blood of the Life Channel>, for those worthy ones with the courage to accomplish it is praised as the friend of yogins who persevere in the essence in one lifetime. Easy to accomplish, it is eminently effective but dangerous, swift acting and of great power and ferocity. For the support torma, the base is round, an eight-spoked wheel of meteorite metal. At its hub put a red torma twisted at the top. Put nalings in front and at the three corners, eight tormas on the eight spokes, also twenty-eight balls and eight small tormas. These support materials are adorned with ornaments of silk brocade, meat, blood, leopard and tiger skins. The offering materials are meat, blood, torma and libation. Bless them with the mantra and mudra of the <Treasury of Space>. Upon the support torma put a vajra with a HUNG. Insert the seed syllable a little bit below the tip and insert a drawing of a blue HUNG to block the throat. Rahula will then accomplish actions and show personal kindless. maintain the pride of oneself as T’hroma.

The rest of this Grimoire consists of long lists of the Mantras and Names from the Naga Currents. For years I’ve tried to find this information on Serpent Magicke in the East’s primal systems. Be aware of the fact that the <<Mahabharata>> lists 78 names of the ‘sons of Kadru’, or names of Hindu Nagarajas/Nagas/Nagis, and one scripture called <<Nilamata>> lists over 500, so this booklet only

scratches the surface of this long and involved tradition. I am tempted to keep it to myself as my priveledged knowledge. But any working mystical/magickal system should be shared for those extremely few others who may benefit. We are lucky to live at this time when the theologies of all religions past and present are published for our education and comparison. Shifting the wheat from the racist chaft gives us a kernal of possible truth to hopefull re-sprout into the present psychic world. Whatever gods survive in the 90’s certainly ought to be communed with. Enjoy this still alive Current

May this consecration of thee by me give satisfaction to all beings that live and move in water, on land, and in the air.> . . . sprinkle the well with water . . with folded hands say : <Be well pleased, all beings, whether living in the air or on earth or in water; I have given this excellent water to all beings; may all beings be satisfied by bathing in, drinking from, or plunging into this water; I have given this common water to all beings. Should anyone by his own misfortune be endangered in this, may I not be guilty of that sin, may my good work bear fruit.> . . . In the consecration of a sacred water tank and other kinds of reservoirs of water there should be a Nagastambha (a thick piece of wood driven into the center of the tank) and some aquatic animals. Aquatic animals, such as fish, frogs, alligators, and tortoises, should be made of metal, according to the means of the person consecrating. There should be made two fish and two frogs of gold, two alligators of silver, and two tortoises, one of copper and another of brass. . . Then the Naga should be supplicated for worship: Ananta, Vasuki, Padma, Mahapadma, Taksaka, Kulira, karkata and Samkha, all these are the protectors of the water. These eight names of the Nagas should be written on Asvattha (ficus religiosa) leaves, and, after making japa of the Pranava (Om) and the Gayatri, the leaves should be thrown into a jar. Calling upon Sun and Moon to witness, the leaves should be mixed up together, and one should be drawn therefrom, and the Naga whose name is drawn should be made the protector of the water. Then a wooden post, auspicious and straight, should be brought and smeared with oil and tumeric, and bathed in consecrated water, to the accompaniment of mantras, and then the naga who has been made the protector of the water should be worshipped with the Shaktis : Hri, Ksama, and Santi. <O Naga ! Thou art the couch of Visnu, thou art the adornment of Siva; do thou inhabit this post and protect my water.> Having thus made supplication to Naga the pillar should be set in the middle of the reservoir, and the dedicator should then go round the tank, keeping it to his right. If the post has been already fixed, then the Naga should be worshipped in a jar, and, throwing the water of the jar into the reservoir, the remainder of the rites should be performed.>>

Naga-Puja Hymn :
by Sarojini Naidu :

<Homage to the Snakes
which ever move around the Earth,
and are in the Sky and in Heaven.

Homage to the Snakes
which are in the Arrows of the Magickians,
and of Tree Spirits and which lie in holes.

Homage to those Snakes
which are in the Brightness of Heaven,
which are in the Rays of the Sun,
which have made their abode in the Waters.>

<Shining Ones awake, we seek your chosen temples
In caves and sheltering sandhills
and sacred banyan roots;

O lift your dreaming heads
from their trance of ageless wisdom,
And weave your mystic measure
to the melody of flutes.
We bring you milk and maize,
wild figs and golden honey,
And kindle fragrant incense to hallow all the air.

With fasting lips we pray,
with fervent hearts we parise you,
O bless our lowly offerings and harken to our prayer.

Guard our helpless lives
and guide our patient labours,
And cherish our dear vision
like the jewels in your crests;

O spread your hooded watch
for the safety of our slumbers,
And soothe the troubled longings
that clamour in our breasts.

Swift ye are as streams
and soundless as the dew fall,
Subtle as the lightening and splendid as the sun;

Seers are ye and symbols of the ancient silence
Where life and death
and sorrow and ecstacy are one.>

Naga story from <<The 8th, 9th, and 10th Books of Moses>>
How Moses found Terma in the Egyptian Nagaloka :

<Then after twenty years on the Mountain, Moses learned of Pharoh’s death and he decided to return to Egypt – not to the palace – but to Koptos to seek out the Book guarded by the Deathless Snake. So after brief preparations he bade farewell to Jethro and made his way Westward toward the Red Sea and Egypt, the and of his birth.>

<When he came to Koptos he went straight to the temple of Isis and made an offering to her and he sunk a shaft into the water at the middle of the River and descended there to seek the Box in which the Book was said to rest. And he found it, wrapped with scorpions and snakes which he caused to lie as if asleep. Then he met the guardian of the Box, the Deathless Snake and for three days they fought until the Snake gave no further resistence. Moses opened the iron box and found therein a box of bronze and in the bronze box was a sycamore box and in the sycamore box was a box of ebony and ivory and in that lay a silver box and in the silver box there rested a box of gold and in that box – there was the Book !>

<Moses lifted out the Book and as he read the Light went before him and the Darkness after him. He was able to hear the Voice of Darkness and the Voice of Light and he knew then that he could command the heavens and the earth and the sea. He knew that he knew the language of all God’s creatures of the earth, the sea and sky and he knew that there was a Divine

<Power within him for he saw the sun and moon and the stars as no man had ever seen them before. What he read in the Book he wrote down on a piece of virgin papyrus and thereafter washed off the writing with a kind of beer which he drank that each sign and symbol thus put down would permeate his entire being and stay in his mind and soul forever.>

<Then he returned the Book to the golden box of ebony and ivory and that in the sycamore box and that in the bronze box and that in the iron box, just as it was in the beginning. Then he returned them all to the guardianship of the Deathless Snake with the admonition to watch over it to the end of Time.>

Tibetan Prayer for the Newyear of the Snake :

<Prayers and offerings to the white gods of heaven, black demons, yellow Nyen demons, brown Rmu demons, red Tsen demons, striped Za demons, blue Nagas,
green Sadags (spirits of the earth), Yaksha demons, Jyed-Ma demons, ZaDre demons, Shi-Dre demons
and all other demons to completely remove
obstacles and sufferings and illnesses,
bad dreams, and unhappiness.
By this offering the demons become
peaceful in their minds and do not harm other beings.
Through this Dharma practice we grow
stronger and stronger in body, speech, and mind.
All Dharma friends become peaceful and
live harmoniously with each other in long happy lives.>
