Biography of Enmerkar

Enmerkar is a contemporary Magus, a Practitioner. He received traditional training within the European Hermetic Tradition as well as in a Slavic Pagan Lineage. Enmerkar’s primary specialization is the so-called “Inner Goetia” — a system of mind-therapy based on traditional views of constructive and destructive matrices that govern both personal and transpersonal levels of the mind.
Since 1998, Enmerkar has become known to a wider audience for his magical seminars, distinctive articles, books, and lectures in the esoteric field. This biographical essay presents a sequential chain of key events in Enmerkar’s life so that the reader can become acquainted with the Author and his Way.
At the Author’s request, his “secular name and activities” are not disclosed here; only the magical side of his life is presented.
Most of the information is drawn from Enmerkar’s biographical book “The Roads of the Magus. The Fall of the Keeper,” where he describes his Way up to 2014, as well as from close disciples and from the Magus’s own accounts.

1. Childhood

Even before Enmerkar was born, his distant relative — a great-aunt known as a witch — foretold: “The younger son will have an elder grandson — a voloshebnik,” meaning a magician by birth. His family awaited his arrival with a certain sense of apprehension.
Enmerkar was born on April 23, 1974, in northeastern Ukraine. From an early age, he felt that the ordinary world, with all its bustle and “imagined problems,” did not correspond to the true depth of being. Starting in his early teens (around thirteen or fourteen), he increasingly pondered the hidden forces that govern the world — and in those searches he discovered his calling. The Path of Magic became “the essence and meaning of his existence.”

2. The Beginning of the Way and Meeting the Mentors

Enmerkar’s true Initiation began in 1989. While still in school (age 15), he led a small study circle on the history of religions, served as a youth and community organizer, and immersed himself in every kind of spiritual literature available. In May 1989, a couple—Kolya and Sveta (their names later shortened to KiS, both names altered)—came to one of his sessions. Introducing themselves as experienced practitioners, they invited the boy to join them that July on a UFO expedition to Crimea. He agreed.

That journey through the Crimean mountains became the beginning of his true Path. During the following trips, his mentors performed upon him the first Initiation—the Ritual of Apprenticeship—in which he was presented with a Chalice as the first Symbol of Power. He was instructed to use it in the practice of energy accumulation and sensitivity development. This Chalice became his first Pass into the world of Magic.

3. Trials and Entry into the Semargl Lineage

The following summer, 1990, brought a second and far more serious test. In those same regions, a ritual known as the Wild Hunt was performed—an initiatory ordeal in the night forest, where Enmerkar first encountered not only the Threshold of the world, but also beings of the Interworld—Elementaries and Fairies.

During that ordeal, another young apprentice—his rival successor named Oleg—failed the trial and left the group. Soon after, the mentors informed Enmerkar: “The Leader has chosen you as his heir. The Head of the Line has made his decision.”

At that time, the old Leader of the Semargl Lineage was terminally ill and in need of a successor. Kolya explained that in their Tradition, a Lineage was a chain of magical generations passing down the Golden Link, and that their Line already counted 55 generations; Enmerkar was to begin the 56th.

This revelation opened for him an entirely new understanding of his path: he realized he was part of a centuries-old Tradition, and that it was his duty to continue its work.

4. Study with Mikhail Alexandrovich and Receiving the Seal

After finishing school, Enmerkar entered university, yet his magical Way continued. In late 1993, he “accidentally” met a mysterious healer, Mikhail Alexandrovich (name changed)—a man of profound insight and unusual power. Sensing the young man’s inner quest, Mikhail began to initiate Enmerkar into deeper esoteric truths, teaching that true development demands struggle, atonement, and deep work with the hidden aspects of the mind.

Their training took place through home practices and Rituals (later as part of a secret Order). Gradually, the mentor began to speak of higher aims and of the sacred relics of the magical tradition.

Together they performed evocative practices, summoning and studying the 72 demons of Goetia, exploring their qualities, nature, and methods of resistance. At first, Enmerkar conducted these summonings under his teacher’s protection; later, after parting ways in 1997, he carried out the Rituals on his own. (The result of these years of work was a monumental trilogy — The New Lemegeton: Vol. I Goetic Psychoanalysis (2017), Vol. II Goetic Psychotherapy (2020), and Vol. III Anatomy of Vortices (2021).)

The key event of his study with Mikhail Alexandrovich was the transfer of one of the Great Seals — a ritual sigil restraining the demonic power of Flauros from affecting the world. Enmerkar was destined to become the next Keeper of the Seal of the Gate of that demon.

After many years of Lemegeton study, Mikhail chose March 18, 1997, for the special Rite of Transmission of Power. That day, Enmerkar accepted within himself the Force of the Seal of Flauros (64). He compared the experience to “being plunged into molten iron — the Power burned everything inside me,” but within a week he adapted to the Force of the Seal.



5. The Order of the Scarlet Dawn

In the spring of 1994, Enmerkar was initiated by Mikhail into the Traditional Order of the Knights of the Scarlet Dawn — a Hermetic school that inherited the principles of the Golden Dawn, the Rosicrucians, and the Kabbalists.
The Initiation took place after he successfully explained the symbolism of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, which confirmed his readiness for the Inner Path.
Training in the Order included Tarology, Sephirotic Kabbalah, Ceremonial Magic, Exorcism, and other esoteric disciplines.
Enmerkar deeply immersed himself in this tradition, gaining both practical experience in Ritual Magic and a profound inner rebirth.
He realized: “The goal of magic is not power over demons, but power over oneself.”

Emblem of the Order of the Scarlet Dawn
By 1998, Enmerkar had attained a high degree of Initiation within the Order.
However, due to a conflict with the leadership — he refused a mandatory retreat for the sake of his students — Enmerkar decided to leave.

Soon afterward, the organization ceased to exist, and the Magister emigrated.
The separation was a painful ordeal: Enmerkar lost outer support but preserved fidelity to the inner Power.
From that moment began the stage of complete independence — he remained alone, with the Seal, two disciples, and the responsibility for the entire Path he had traversed.
After the transmission of the Seal, Mikhail Alexandrovich chose to end his own journey.
In April 1997, he departed to his homeland in Central Asia.
The parting was deeply emotional: Enmerkar accompanied him to the train station, “feeling his hand on my shoulder for the last time.”
Afterward, he experienced a profound inner void.
Yet from that moment on, Enmerkar became the fully autonomous Keeper of the Seal and a Magus in his own right.

6. The Name “Enmerkar”

The path to realizing the name “Enmerkar” and the personal history connected with it was not instantaneous.
These memories emerged gradually — as the result of inner transformation, contemplation, and years of practice.
The realization came in two stages, separated by several years and deeply linked to personal crises and altered states of mind.
The first stage occurred in the late 1990s, during a period of intense inner conflict coinciding with his departure from the Order.

Uruk (ruins)
At that time, recurring visions began to haunt him — he repeatedly saw himself falling from a tall staircase.
Over time, the image clarified: the staircase turned out to be a ziggurat, and the scene — a recollection of betrayal and murder in a remote epoch.
This vision later took form in his essay “The Legend of Nergal’s Sword” and in the book “The Fall of the Keeper” as one of his mythopoetic remembrances.
(According to Enmerkar, he remembered two personalities of that ancient time — Dudu and later Enmerkar.)
During this period, the Sumerian age — the cities of Ur, Uruk, Nippur — appeared to him not as history but as an inwardly familiar reality.
He sensed direct belonging to that world, as if those places existed not then but nearby.
The second wave of memories came about five years later, in the early 2000s, during a summer retreat by a northern river in Russia.
One day, while meditating alone on the riverbank, Enmerkar entered a state of semi-vision.
He saw a small boy running through the halls of a palace.
The walls were painted deep blue and covered with images of mythic beings — half-dragons and other fantastic creatures.
The air carried the scent of clay.
The vision was so vivid that the details — light, color, even the smell — remained etched in memory with almost physical certainty.
An old man playing with the boy called him “Gilgamesh”, and the boy called him “adad” — “grandfather.”
Two more names also appeared in the vision: Meski-Aggasher (“father”) and Banda (“son”).
The impact of these images was profound: upon returning from the island, Enmerkar realized he had remembered not just a fragment of a previous life but the name by which the Power had once known him — Enmerkar.
Thus, the name Enmerkar entered his mind as a symbol of deep identity, imprinted in the strata of the monad — in the very flow of his consciousness.
It became the culmination of a long process of self-recognition, rooted in Sumerian memory and in the timeless Way of the Magus.

7. The Double Path and Independent Formation

In the following years, Enmerkar continued along what he called the “double path.”
On one hand, he maintained connection with his early mentors (KiS) and the heritage of the Semargl Lineage;
on the other, he developed the skills and insights imparted by Mikhail Alexandrovich.
Yet the former teachers withdrew their support.
After the death of the Lineage Leader in spring 1995, a schism occurred, and Kolya and Sveta announced that the family of magi had dissolved — that Enmerkar could no longer count on their aid.
Disillusioned, he undertook a decisive act that summer.
Feeling the growing inner conflict, he retreated alone into the mountains—to the sacred territories he knew—and spent ten days in a cave.
During this solitary period he experienced a profound transformation.
By his own account:
“I felt, without the slightest doubt, that the Lineage was now within me; that these lands, their stones and trees, were my kin.”
This threshold experience confirmed his right to follow his own Way and gave him a sense of fullness of his magical vocation.
Choosing independence, Enmerkar abandoned earlier distinctions between schools and began applying knowledge from both traditions.

8. The Search for a Successor and Conflicts

Left alone with the Seal and the Lineage, Enmerkar sought to gather companions around him — by his own admission, “the need for another human being” was important to him.
He lectured, held open seminars, and led “Journeys for Power”, taking on public roles as a Magus.
By 2001, Enmerkar applied to an international organization with authority to certify magical instruction.
In response, he soon received not only an official Certificate but also a White Cloak of the Magister — a symbol of recognized Initiatory Degree within the magical sphere.
Yet his main concern remained the search for a worthy heir to continue his work.
Many students appeared around him, but none endured long enough to carry on the legacy:
“Students came and went — there were many — but none went far enough to become a continuation of my work.”
He felt that without a successor, he could not hold the energy of the Lineage and the power of the Seal forever —
and that “the pressure of destructive forces was constantly growing.”
In 2008, Enmerkar began his magical blog, the first platform where he shared his experience, reflections, and knowledge.
Among his early published essays were:
In December 2012, he met an exceptionally gifted young man — Arthur (name changed).
Arthur responded well to energy work, and Enmerkar immediately accepted him as a disciple and official heir to the Semargl Lineage.
However, the youth had strong ties to one of Enmerkar’s ancient adversaries — the demon of the Cold Heart, Asmodeus.
Under this influence, Arthur developed a destructive fascination with his own “chosen nature” and with the pleasure of ruining other people’s fates.
Despite Enmerkar’s efforts, he could not free him from that possession.
In the summer of 2013, Enmerkar performed the ritual of induction into the Lineage and even publicly presented him as his successor, hoping that the ancestral Power would help the young man overcome the darkness.
But by the end of their struggle, Arthur consciously “let Asmodeus in” and turned his strength against his teacher.
After a year of conflict, Enmerkar suffered defeat — the disciple broke the bond and went his own way, leaving the Master crushed, realizing that it had been “an unequal battle between light and shadow.”

9. The Fall and the Loss of the Seal

By the autumn of 2013, Enmerkar fell into deep despair — all attempts to find a successor had failed.
He turned toward the study of Enochian Magic (the intermediate domain of magic) and intensified his practices dealing with the darker layers of the mind.
Encountering this new threshold triggered an avalanche of inner change.
In February 2014, Enmerkar experienced a complete disintegration and reintegration of consciousness, comparable to his previous transformations but far more intense.
He emerged into a state of clear vision — yet lost everything that had once supported him:
“Deprived of all points of reference… I lost both the energy of the Lineage and the power of the Seal.”
He could no longer sustain the Seal of Flauros, sealing the last remnant of its power into a special amulet.
This phase marked the fall of the Keeper: the world lost another anchor, another drop of Magic — and before Enmerkar opened a new Way.
He had emerged from the Abyss, standing at the beginning of a new cycle of his journey.

10. Inspiration and the Restoration of Power

In the spring of 2014, Enmerkar undertook his first journey across Asia — to India, and more precisely to Ladakh (Western Tibet) — seeking to restore his strength after the loss.
The mountains had always been a source of Power and inspiration for him, yet the most significant event of this trip was not the mountains themselves.
After spending some time in the highlands, it came time to return home.
Before his departure, he visited the small town of Dharamsala (McLeod Ganj) at the foot of the Himalayas.
As he was driving up the steep road to the city, traffic stopped to let a convoy pass.
He was told that the Dalai Lama was on his way.
Standing on the opposite side of the road from the crowd, Enmerkar suddenly met the Dalai Lama’s gaze as the car passed.
For a moment, everything stopped:
“That gaze completely changed something inside me. I experienced what Buddhists call the state of pure Rigpa.”

After that encounter, Enmerkar spent a long time assimilating what had happened.
Later he consciously attended the Dalai Lama’s teachings and began studying the Buddhist system:
“It didn’t matter what He said or what happened during the teachings — what mattered was the transforming Presence (Kundun) itself.”
That unexpected meeting became for Enmerkar a turning point, granting him new strength and a new direction in life.
During this period, he wrote several important works that distilled his experience and story:
Enmerkar and Maitreya Statue (Ladakh)

11. War and a New Home

By March 2022, Enmerkar had planned a major expedition through ancient Egypt, supported by his book The Sun beneath the Nile: Matrices of Rebirth in Ancient Egyptian Mythology.
He also planned a follow-up seminar in Nepal (October) titled “In the Footsteps of the Lotus-Born.”
For that event, he had written “Enlightened Matrices: Tantric Buddhism through the Eyes of a Western Magus.”
But one day he said to his student:
“I see no variations of our expeditions in the space — something will go wrong.”
And so it happened.
In February 2022, the tragedy well known to the world began.
At that time, Enmerkar lived in a war zone.
He endured two extremely hard months together with his mother and two dogs before being able to move to a new home in a quieter and safer region.
The new house became both a refuge and a point of support.
The first months went into recovery, repairs, and the re-awakening of the magical spirit.
When his strength returned, Enmerkar undertook a decisive act — to perform the Abramelin Ritual (the Rite of the Unborn) in order to restore what had been lost.
After careful preparation, he entered a strict three-month retreat and successfully completed the operation.
Yet, as he later said, “to hold and cultivate that success proved one of the hardest tasks amid the oppressive external conditions.”
During this period, Enmerkar wrote “Introduction to Graphic Magic” (2023).

12. Exile / Pilgrimage and New Discoveries

In April 2024, Enmerkar made the difficult decision to leave the country, hoping that freer circumstances would allow his new potentials to unfold.
The task was arduous and required long preparation, fortune, and assisting Powers — which, as he put it, “were reluctant to help.”
Nevertheless, the task was accomplished, though at no small cost.
His exile alternated between Asia and Europe, gradually turning into a pilgrimage as he sought out sacred places of Power for renewal and inspiration.
The first stage of this pilgrimage led him to Nepal (Pharping, the cave of Padmasambhava) and India (Dharamsala, the Dalai Lama’s teachings).
Then came Italy, including Rome and the Vatican.
In the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square and Basilica, Enmerkar discovered a new sense of sacred geometry and magical resonance.

Exploring deeper into the Italian provinces, he followed traces of what he recognized as a past incarnation — a 12th-century monk named Agostino Trionfi, who had taken part in the Crusades.
He verified this through research and an expedition to Ancona, where historical confirmation of those memories appeared.
Because his visas were short-term, Enmerkar had to move frequently between countries, often returning to Nepal.
There he immersed himself in new practices and discoveries — including mapping and studying the realms of the Interworld.
As a result, in January 2025, he published two major volumes:
Enmerkar considers these works, together with The New Lemegeton (Vols. 1–3), to be the most significant of his career.
Later that year, he undertook a Grail expedition across France (Toulouse, Rennes-le-Château, and Montségur) and Spain (Barcelona and Valencia).
The outcome of this journey remains unknown.
In May 2025, in southern France (Occitania), Enmerkar began new explorations focused on the Interworld and the traces of the Fairy People, conducting magical investigations both in the subtle realms and at physical sites of ancient civilizations — menhirs and dolmens.
Through numerous visions and journeys across the layers of the Interworld, he systematized his knowledge of the Faerie Folk, culminating in the publication of the third volume:
Geography of the Interworld: Labyrinths of the Faerie (2025).

13. Enmerkar’s Views

1. The Ontological Structure of the World
Enmerkar perceives the world as a multilayered reality composed of levels of being — Aeons, Ethers, and Interspatial Realms — structured according to their distance from the Pleroma, the Absolute Spirit, the Fullness of the original Unity.
This worldview aligns closely with Gnostic and Hermetic cosmology.
Reality is not homogeneous; it stratifies into many levels, from the highest Pleromatic to the Archontic and Qliphothic domains.
Special attention in his writings is given to Kabbalistic, Gnostic, Hermetic, and Buddhist myths.

2. The Human Being as a Creature of the Threshold
For Enmerkar, the human being is not merely a biological form but a conduit between worlds, a bearer of a spark of the Great Spirit, capable of Gnosis — of ascension and the attainment of absolute Freedom.
Yet humanity is distorted and weakened: it has lost its memory and purpose, ensnared by the traps of Archons and demons.
The Way of the Magus is therefore the path of restoration — of returning to one’s true nature, ascending through self-knowledge toward the Pleroma, the state of the Buddha — supreme Freedom.

3. Gnosis and Liberation
Gnosis — knowledge — is not intellectual but existential awakening, a direct experience of truth about oneself and the world.
True knowledge liberates, yet it demands effort, sacrifice, and the courage to look into darkness.
Magic, in Enmerkar’s view, is not an escape from reality but its transmutation through will — an act of conscious Power.

4. Anthropological Pessimism and Spiritual Elitism
Enmerkar does not believe in “progress” in the common sense.
His worldview is largely aristocratic:
most people live in sleep, ruled by Archons, demons, and their agents, unaware of their condition.
Only a few possess the will, knowledge, and inner discipline required to awaken.
True spirituality, he insists, is not for everyone — it demands renunciation of comfort and illusion.

5. Faith in Ancient Knowledge and Continuity
He affirms that authentic Tradition is not religion or system, but a living and enduring chain of transmission across centuries — a support tested by time.
Among the great pillars still accessible today, he names:
Christianity (especially Gnosticism and Catholicism),
Buddhism (Vajrayana),
and the Slavic and Hermetic lineages and Orders preserving an unbroken continuity of knowledge.

6. Critique of Modernity
Enmerkar sees modernity as an age of spiritual decline:
digitalization and hyper-urbanization, both excessively consumerist and harmful to nature and psyche;
pseudo-spirituality — where modern “spiritual practices” serve only ego-gratification and profit — are manifestations of the Archontic dream and demonic distraction.
The Magus must oppose the current, consciously building his inner vertical axis against the world.

7. Understanding of Spiritual Beings
Enmerkar describes Archons, demons, angels, Fairies, genii, and gods not as superstitious imagery but as meta-ontological forces, real influences acting upon the mind.
Magic, for him, is the work of engaging these forces — transforming their roles and re-creating one’s own inner structure in pursuit of ultimate Freedom.
