Enkian by 'Definition'.

I am not one for names, but if I were to characterise us under one name it would be "Enkians". We are believers in the Lord God Enki, Father of Creation,fertility,sweetwaters. Of wisdom & knowledge,creativity and magic. But some of us do follow the the Seven Gods who Decree.
As Enkians we strive to be the best we can be, we follow only the traditions of the old. We follow Sumer and we learn from the past to better our future. What knowledge we have, we have gained from that which was- Cuniform tablets, and from the knowledge which has been past of down from generation to generation. From the oldest of Tribes.We are creative,alternative thinkers, who see beyound the obvious.
Enkians are people who believes in and follow the religious percepts put forth by Enki and His Divine Messengers, the Abgal/Apkallu, and the guidance of his son Silikmuludug (Asar / Aarduk). We are people that hold these religious tenants and doctrines sacred to ourselves and strive to uphold them in our lives and to model them in our behavior. We are those who attend and hold rites of worship as ordained by Enki throughout the ages and commit ourselves to our faith wholeheartedly throughout out lives.We live, we learn,we love, we grow.
We are not "Satanists", we do not follow Sitchin and/or his theories. We do NOT promote or encourage violence,prejudice discrimitaion or racisim. We encourage equality,kindness and understanding.No two people are the same, and each have their own gifts to share,give and cherish.
We are our own. We strive to learn both Spiritualy and mentally from what doctrines we have, and what the Abgal/Apkallu have taught civilization, many centuries ago. We respect others and/or their beliefs, and help those whom wish to be taught in the ways of Enki and his Abgal/Apkallu.
We welcome & encourage those who wish to learn,grow & understand.

Responsible for our own actions.

Today I was discussing something with a friend. Certain fears I had for not reaching expectations in trying to help others. Some of us are on certain courses, or set certain tasks to help people, but what happens if that person doesn't want to be helped? Or chooses not to listen to what the divine have to say?

I cannot help but to take it personally if someone does not heed a warning, or want to be helped- but as my lovely friend said "You cannot help those who do not want to be helped, you can't guide those who seek to remain blind." It leaves a dilemma. We can tell people of the messages we are delivered, but we cannot enforce people to follow them. Each person is responsible for their own will and action. They can heed the advice we give them, they can follow it, if they choose. But at the end of the day, we cannot enforce. I do not think I would even want to enforce it.
The great thing about serving Enki are his messages. As much as I try to do as asked, sometimes it is impossible for me to be able to do aught else then to SAY what is needed to be said.

I can be hard on myself as much as I like, it does not mean the person will care, take notice or even listen. All I can do is what is asked of me.
The best we can do for someone is lay the fruits on the table, whether they choose to eat is entirely up to them.
Just as I am responsible for passing on messages ( relevant or not), people have their own responsibility to receive them upon deaf or open ears.
A lesson I will learn.

New Temple?

I've been wagering on this for a while now, but having no resources to make it come about.. Until yesterday. I've been searching for the right place to situate a temple, my imagination has been running riot- and half the places I cant afford, or are not well situated for privacy.
Yesterday me and a friend came across a small cave situated in Backwell, well hidden, and kept pretty much a secret. I think this is the most perfect setting we could've found. It is actually owned by the woodland trust, so as long as we keep it clean, tidy all should be well to set one up there.
Of course it will need a Blessing and purification Ritual, but I have high hopes for it- my greatest concern is if we do invest alot of time and effort in to erecting a temple from this ancient piece, some ignorant person will come along and sabotage it.

With the knowledge that this cave was used as a temple 2000+ years ago, one must respect the spiritual and archaeological aspects of the Cave.
I know I am not the only one to be privy to it's whereabouts, so one must understand, if all goes well... And I do manage to get as far as i'd like, what is the likelihood that all my effort will be swiftly removed?

My eyes and heart are set on that place.. I will take a few things up this week, just to see how well they keep.

Resource center.

Ah, so I have recently got back after my interenet was cut off. Must say I have had time to study and think on a few things.
I've been considering opening a domain dedicated to Enkians. It has come to my attention that when you search "Enkian" or "Enkianism" on google, nothing comes up. And if it does it all seems to be conspiracy theories of "Aliens" and what not. I do not lik to be closed minded, and I am open to the idea, but I do not in anyway,shape or form follow the ways of Sitchens. I have read through his ideas, and own one of his books, but no, I follow Ancient Mesopotamia/Sumer/Akkad/Babylon etc.

Considering resources are limited about Enki and the Igigi and the Anunnaki I thought it would be wise to buld a "Temple" ( website) in their honor; Information,spells,advise,prayers etc.
Of course I am only one woman, I cannot do this alone, I wouldn't dream of doing it alone, and I do have another who would like to help, but I need more people to contribute. Priest(esses) of other orders of Ishtar, of Enlil, of Utu etc. All are welcome!
We will probably need a website host also, or someone who can build a website and/or design it.
ALl in all, this website should be a *great* help to those in search of what an "Enkian" is, as well as home for other Enkians.

My 5th year of being an Enkian

Ok,first of I would like to say sorry I haven't updated this sooner, I am on Facebook, if you wish to add me (Leona Small, in which I tend to use every day.
Anyway, back on to topic, I think I should up-date this before I update my book of Shadows, both need updating,alas!
Anyway, December 2009 we're in, almost 2010. And Yule has been as well as Xmas. A time for giving,sharing, thinking, caring... A time for Family.. And I must say this December has been one of the best (Minus Xmas, I don't really celebrate it.).
Although Yule was quiet, it has given me time to reflect on things that have been this year, how fast it has flown! And how greatful to Enki I am. How much i've learnt, what new people I have met, what joys and disappoints and new experiences I have encountered!
This year, I must say has been one of the best and one of the strangest!
And on this day, December 28th, my annivasary of being an Enkian, a day of Ritual,rejoice and (more) pondering, I would just like to say, be greatful for what you have-always. Hold it dear. Do not take advantage of the simple things in life, food,water,green grass, and the caring people around you. Everything has a cause, everything has a meaning, everything has a reason (Unless we're talking Quantum physics, not a debate I want to get in to.). Enjoy life as it is, but if you can bettr it. Learn and be taught! Love and be loved! And most of all... May Enki be with you to guide and love. :) I hope your year has been as good as mine. :)

(P.S. Excuse any spelling mistakes.)
