YES!!! I will be the first one to admit that i over-analyze everything, think "too much", care too much about "saving the world", and say stuff that the majority of people don't give a shit about. So, this Virgo thanks the gods for my blog to organize and bring my horse racing thoughts to a focal point that i can look at. It's actually very fun and relaxing to me to use my mind in lieu of depending on others to entertain me, and i publish because my Guides push me to not because i like opening up to people. In fact, when i consider that humans, as a species, allow the decimation of Mother Nature my opinion of many people is not very good. I also know that i have few readers, and i feel that These must have more intelligence than the average human. I thank Y'all

My hero, Socrates, is One who i am much like so i feel in goode company. He was ridiculed for pushing boundaries, and eventually killed for questioning the gods.

This blog will discuss a little bit about me, tracing gods, evolving theories, what does Wikipedia say about Nergal, and how is Baron Samedi like Nergal in the first part. The second part explores what do sources say about Ninghizzida, how is Papa Legba like Ninghizzida, how is Baron Samedi like Ninghizzida, what does a new source say about Baron Samedi and Papa Legba, and fb notes about my theories.
A Little Bit About Me
In 4th grade i was asked to join the Socrates program for gifted children in my school because my tests scores were so high, and it was an awesome experience that i was able to participate in for all of the years that they had it. I was headed to Texas A & M vet school at the end of high school; however, i was in a wreck that gave me brain damage. For many years i was in a fog that was thickened by psychotropic medicines. My PSAT scores were 98% before the wreck and SAT was 54% after it. At 50 and psychotrope free, i am feeling pretty confident that my intelligence has regained at least some semblance of what it was before. Alas, there is no Socrates program now, and i don't have many people to discuss the broad range of my thinking with. I was always drawn to the Occult, but the most knowledge that i gained came from attempting to do exorcisms as a christian to actually figuring out Who can help with them (Papa Legba and Baron Samedi). Enough about me, i wanna organize some theoretical stuff about gods as thought form beings.
Tracing Gods
When i first learned about Planets as gods and that the traits of gods could be traced back through the Ages, i was fascinated, and i thought everything was cut and dried. For instance, i thought that all gods based on Mercury were Incarnations of Papa Legba, and that Ninghizzida was Papa Legba while Nergal was Baron Samedi.
My blogs "Papa Legba is Mercury & He LOVES His Children" @ http://citedinfo.blogspot.com/2017/06/once-i-was-scared-catholic-girl-who.html and
"Could Baron Samedi be the Sphinx?" @ http://citedinfo.blogspot.com/2017/06/could-baron-samedi-be-sphinx.html
were written in a Mushroom fueled time of many Shamanic Journeys in which i did my best to interpret what i was seeing and hearing. That's just the thing about visions, interpretation, and then comprehension. Interestingly, i knew that those blogs were just a beginning of a growing theory.
Evolving Theories
Sure enough, months later, after working on some blogs just to honor the Orishas for November, i am drawn back to expand upon said theories. As i was working on my Papa Legba blog i ran across a site that said Papa Legba and Baron Samedi are the same Entity which puzzled me because i see Them as separate Beings. Is it possible that Baron Samedi and Papa Legba are Incarnations of the same Energy??? Am i wrong when i say that Baron Samedi or Saturday is not based on Saturn and Papa Legba is not based on Mercury??? It's time to do some more analyzation of evidence so next some quotes from other sources will be presented.

What Does Wikipedia Say About Nergal ???
"Nergal, Nirgal, or Nirgali (Sumerian: dGÌR-UNUG-GAL𒀭𒄊𒀕𒃲;[2] Hebrew: נֵרְגַל, Modern Nergal, Tiberian Nērḡál; Aramaic ܢܹܪܓܵܐܠ; Latin: Nergel) was a deity worshipped throughout Mesopotamia (Akkad, Assyria and Babylonia) with the main seat of his worship at Cuthahrepresented by the mound of Tell-Ibrahim.
Nergal is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the deity of the city of Cuth (Cuthah): "And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal" (2 Kings, 17:30). According to the Rabbis, his emblem was a cock[3] and Nergal means a "dunghill cock",[4] although standard iconography pictured Nergal as a lion. He is a son of Enlil and Ninlil, along with Nanna and Ninurta.
Nergal seems to be in part a solar deity, sometimes identified with Shamash, but only representative of a certain phase of the sun. Portrayed in hymns and myths as a god of war and pestilence, Nergal seems to represent the sun of noontime and of the summer solstice that brings destruction, high summer being the dead season in the Mesopotamian annual cycle. He has also been called "the king of sunset".[5] Over time Nergal developed from a war god to a god of the underworld.[6] In the mythology, this occurred when Enliland Ninlil gave him the underworld.[5]
Nergal was also the deity who presides over the netherworld, and who stands at the head of the special pantheon assigned to the government of the dead (supposed to be gathered in a large subterranean cave known as Aralu or Irkalla). In this capacity he has associated with him a goddess Allatu or Ereshkigal, though at one time Allatu may have functioned as the sole mistress of Aralu, ruling in her own person. In some texts the god Ninazu is the son of Nergal and Allatu/Ereshkigal.
Ordinarily Nergal pairs with his consort Laz. Standard iconography pictured Nergal as a lion, and boundary-stone monuments symbolise him with a mace surmounted by the head of a lion.
Nergal's fiery aspect appears in names or epithets such as Lugalgira, Lugal-banda (Nergal as the fighting-cock),[7] Sharrapu ("the burner," a reference to his manner of dealing with outdated teachings)[citation needed], Erra, Gibil (though this name more properly belongs to Nusku), and Sibitti or Seven.[8] A certain confusion exists in cuneiform literature between Ninurta (slayer of Asag and wielder of Sharur, an enchanted mace) and Nergal. Nergal has epithets such as the "raging king," the "furious one," and the like. A play upon his name—separated into three elements as Ne-uru-gal (lord of the great dwelling)—expresses his position at the head of the nether-world pantheon[citation needed].
In the late Babylonian astral-theological system Nergal is related to the planet Mars. As a fiery god of destruction and war, Nergal doubtless seemed an appropriate choice for the red planet, and he was equated by the Greeks to the war-god Ares (Latin Mars)—hence the current name of the planet. In Assyro-Babylonian ecclesiastical art the great lion-headed colossi serving as guardians to the temples and palaces seem to symbolise Nergal, just as the bull-headed colossi probably typify Ninurta.
Nergal's chief temple at Cuthah bore the name Meslam, from which the god receives the designation of Meslamtaeda or Meslamtaea, "the one that rises up from Meslam". The name Meslamtaeda/Meslamtaea indeed is found as early as the list of gods from Fara while the name Nergal only begins to appear in the Akkadian period. Amongst the Hurrians and later Hittites Nergal was known as Aplu, a name derived from the Akkadian Apal Enlil, (Apal being the construct state of Aplu) meaning "the son of Enlil"[citation needed]. As god of the plague, he was invoked during the "plague years" during the reign of the Hittite king Suppiluliuma, when this disease spread from Egypt.
The worship of Nergal does not appear to have spread as widely as that of Ninurta, but in the late Babylonian and early Persian period, syncretism seems to have fused the two divinities, which were invoked together as if they were identical. Hymns and votive and other inscriptions of Babylonian and Assyrian rulers frequently invoke him, but we do not learn of many temples to him outside of Cuthah.
The Assyrian king Sennacherib speaks of one at Tarbisu to the north of the Assyrian capital of Nineveh, but significantly, although Nebuchadnezzar II (606–586 BC), the great temple-builder of the neo-Babylonian monarchy, alludes to his operations at Meslam in Cuthah, he makes no mention of a sanctuary to Nergal in Babylon. Local associations with his original seat—Kutha—and the conception formed of him as a god of the dead acted in making him feared rather than actively worshipped.
In demonology[edit]
Because he was a god of fire, the desert, and the Underworld and also a god from ancient paganism, later Christian writers sometimes identified Nergal as a demon and even identified him with Satan. According to Collin de Plancy and Johann Weyer, Nergal was depicted as the chief of Hell's "secret police", and worked as "an honorary spy in the service of Beelzebub".[citation needed]"

http://www.trickedbythelight.com/tbtl/images/NergalLordOfTheDead.jpgHow Is Baron Samedi Like Nergal???
1)Nergal is known for resideing over sunsets
while Baron presides over the #9 and endings.
2) Baron Samedi is Head of the Ghede/Ghost
Nation and Nergal governs a council of the
dead in an underground cavern. What's even
freakier is that i just blogged about Baron
yesterday and mentioned my favorite dreams
are the ones that i am the Caverns. To me,
these Caverns have an iridescent purple hue
and i am with Maman and Baron down There
where i feel safe @
http://citedinfo.blogspot.com/2017/11/the-fuing-awesome-bawon-of-saturday-no.html.
3) It says that Nergal is a god of plague which is
associated with the Saturnian Voodoo god
Babalu Aye ... Baron is also Saturn
@ http://citedinfo.blogspot.com/2017/11/babalu-aye-has-wednesdays.html
4) Baron Samedi is feared as god of the Dead
and not worshipped as with Nergal.
5) Nergal and Baron Samedi have both been
accused of being "Satan". Baron's power over
demons is a clue that He could be King of the
Underworld. My blog "The Misunderstood
Dark Side" @
http://citedinfo.blogspot.com/2017/06/the-misunderstood-dark-side.html
takes a deeper look at Light and Darkness
to show that light does not equal good
just as darkness does not equal evil.
That quite a few points of similarity,
but i don't know. Actually, i do feel
great familiarity between the Two.
Possibly the energy of death feeds these gods??? But Nergal was known as an Annunaki Being in a physical body. Then there is symbolism.

The final pic is understood to be drawn by Zulu Shaman, Credo Mutwa, who i am very impressed with. Notice that there is a cross a serpent,a nd a top hot on both Baron and Nergal
Thank You for reading my blog :) Blessed Be )O( part 2 is @ http://citedinfo.blogspot.com/2017/11/part-2-of-exploring-possibility-that.html
