"Evil Speech Stand Aside: Ancient Mesopotamian Ishib Magic for the Modern Magician" by Vanessa Kindell

"In modern Sumerian Reconstructionism, an Ishib is one who has decided to take their practice to a more engaged level. This book is an attempt at reconstructing the practices of the ancient Ishib while making room for practices and structure adapted to the modern world. By working through this course, you will learn the art of ritual purification, exorcism, traditional methods of healing, ancestor communication and worship, incantations, perpetration and care of an altar to the gods, as well as rituals and practices you can use to further your connection with the gods, the spirits and take on the role of a spiritual leader for your community."
