The Book of 50 Names

THE BOOK OF FIFTY NAMES OF MARDUK, DEFEATER OF THE ANCIENT ONES

THIS is the Book of MARDUK, begotten of our Master ENKI, Lord of Magicians, who did defeat TIAMAT, known as KUR, known as HUWAWA, in magick combat, who defeated the Ancient Ones that the Elders may live and rule the Earth.

In the time before time, in the age before the heaven and the earth were put in their places, in the age when the Ancient Ones were rulers of all that existed and did not exist, there was nought but darkness. There was no Moon. There was no Sun. No planets were they, and no stars. No grain, No tree, no plant grew. The Ancient Ones were Masters of Spaces now unknown or forgotten, and all was CHAOS.

MARDUK was chosen of the Elders to fight KUR and wrest power from the Great Sleeping Serpent who dwells beneath the Mountains of the Scorpion. MARDUK was given a weapon, and a Sign, and Fifty Powers were given to him to fight the awful TIAMAT, and each Power has its weapon and its Sign and these are the mightiest possessions of the Elder Gods against the Ancient One who threatens Without, who threatens from the Abyss, the Lord of Darkness, the Master of CHAOS, the Unborn, the Uncreated, who still wishes ill upon the Race of Men, and upon the Elder Gods who reside in the Stars.

The Gods forget. They are distant. They must be reminded. If they are not watchful, if the gatekeepers do not watch the gates, if the gates are not kept always locked, bolted and barred, then the One who is always ready, the Guardian of the Other side, IAK SAKKAK, will enter and bring with him the hordes of the armies of the Ancient Ones, IAK KINGU, IAK AZAG, IAK AZABUA, IAK HUWAWA, ISHNIGGARAB, IAK XASTUR, and IAK KUTULU, the Dog Gods and the Dragon Gods, and the Sea Monsters, and the Gods of the Deep.

Watch also the Days. The Day when the Great Bear hangs lowest in the sky, and the quarters of the year measured thereof in the four directions measured thereof, for there the Gates may be opened and care must needs be taken to ensure that the Gates remain forever closed. They must be sealed with the Elder Sign accompanied by the rites and incantations proper.

The Fifty Names here follow, with their Signs and Powers. They may be summoned after the Priest has ascended to that step on the Ladder of Lights and gained entrance to that Sacred City. The Signs should be engraved on parchment or sealed in clay and placed upon the altar at the Calling. And in the perfumes should be of cedar, and strong, sweet-smelling resins.

Greetings Daev! My, are you the ambitious one....posting the whole book of Marduk... I was alittle confused, I had thought that Huwawa was brother to Pazuzu...? I haven't cracked the book in years. Are you lucky enough to have one of the numbered editions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I am not sure who Pazuzu is but I will do a search and try and find some info on him. I don't own a paper version of the necronomicon, yet. I hopefully will have one in a few weeks though. I have seen them going for $2 on amazon... It makes me wonder.

Greetings Daev!
Years ago, some of us were fooling around with the 50 names and it was noted that use of these symbols started to 'awaken' various psi abilities in the members. Have you noticed anything different or any anomalies in your perceptions as you work with the Names? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Would it be any good (or bad) if I simply drew the sigil I needed on the palm of my hand, and made a prayer to the name and said the power word to end the prayer (sort of like an "Amen") ?

Sweet!! I will try this. When, and if, I do, could we compare notes ObsidianLF?

Sure. I'll be trying this soon so let's see how it goes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm thinking of calling on Namru to learn my Geometry like the back of my hand. I pray to the Elder Gods this works!

This post has been edited by ObsidianLF: Oct 3 2005, 05:28 PM

I belive that the word of power is to call the spirit, so it should be used in the begining to get his attention. I personally belive that haveing the sigil on a peice of paper to cary with you would make a more long term connection, These are only my opinions, do what feels right.

Is there anyone more benevolent who I could use this test with and not have to go through so much trouble? To do the same thing? How about Aranunna, the Thirty-Ninth Name?

This post has been edited by ObsidianLF: Oct 4 2005, 10:08 AM

Are there any other of the fifty names that you know of that have similar ill effects as Namru? It would seem odd for a giver of excellent council would not drain ones energy without any sort of permission, I suppose that knowledge comes at a cost. If he were called using a hand written book as you suggested in the Necronomicon Grimoires thread and he began to drain ones energy how would one break the tie short of removing his sigil? Or would a separate one be drawn and the spirit only made to swear on the sigil in the book? I am sorry for all the questions but I am nearing a time when I will be able to preform my first working, and wish to be well informed as to not make any overly stupid mistakes.

Thank you for the advice, I am glad to hear that he is safe with the normal method, I might have a need of him in the future. And do you know if it is better to have the complex symbol of the three overlapped, or would it work to have the three separate as in the book (ARRA symbol of the Elders and that of the Watcher)?

NEVER use the Bandar, symbol of the Watcher, without one of the others. It says so in the Simon Necronomicon because otherwise the Watchers ignores the covenant and you can get yourself hurt badly.

I am well aware of that, I was wondering if the overlaping of the symbolls made a diffrence, the book only says that there must be atleast one of the others with the watcher symboll.

Just out of curiosity how many have used this piece of work with successful results?

Count me as one.

Peace

Count me as two.

I haven't actually read the spellbook, but have had nearly immediate success with the Necronomicon itself - to date, the most effective ritual magick I've worked with. And that was before i had even devoted myself to it's mastery. If Simon wrote the spellbook as well - and i believe he did? - then I'd put my money on it without a thought.

peace

hey, i'm pretty much a newbie (seriously) and i was just wondering i mean, what are spellbooks like? is it like, harry potter or something? or like a book on an entire theory of some sort of magickal process. I'm just really anxious to know as much as i can.

Well, I haven't read the Nec. Spellbook, however in my experience most 'spell books' that I have been granted permission to browse from other individual practitioners usually outline the entire process for individual operations. This is the same for my own spellbook, and they normally include short rotes for spells already set in motion (some choose, for instance, to perform a complicated ritual for initiating some kind of long term 'enchantment' which is thereafter ignited for future purposes with a short poem, somatic gesture, etc. - anything can be a spell trigger.) Sounds rather flashy, fluffie-esque, but for example you might perform an elaborate and meaningful ritual to erect a permanent ward against evil, bad luck, etc. - and include a short verbal component to the working itself. Then afterwards when you feel the need to 'reconnect' to that 'structure' or the energy of that spell, you can perform a short visualization and recite the spell itself.

The commercially available spellbooks normally offer a list of correspondences along with some sort of short ritual for individual purposes, but in those cases it is best if you have a working knowledge of magickal practice to begin with, otherwise you're just barely, barely accessing the magickal potential you possess. Really only serving to bring minimal intention to bear on a situation.

peace

I realize its been almost a year but I'm curious did it work? Did you notice any backlash. Did you walk the gate before you used the seal? If not were there any repercussions? If your still here would you mind giving us some feedback? I'd like to use some of these seals but haven't walked the gates yet so I if you haven't either what were your results?

Actually, I'd like to know the outcome as well, specifically, of putting a Nec spirit's sigil on your body.

The reason being (and I JUST remembered this, after reading the first post), is that years ago, when I was around 16-17 (I'm 26 now), I would frequent on a regular basis the local huge DownTown library and read in the "magick/paranormal, etc" section. I recall running into a girl on a few occasions who worked there, goth type, whom to my surprise had a Tattoo of one of the Nec entites on her (I can't remember which, but I DO recall my shock and amazement at her having tattooed the entity on her skin. )

I would chat with her on those occasions, partly because she was cute, and partly because she had this....energy about her, that I then could not explain. It was a type of sorrow....a melancholy, but, not a normal one. A magickal one, for real. The air around her....was interesting. All I felt was sorry for her eveytime I met her, but I did not know why.

Anyway, one day she was stacking books, and her sleave fell back, and I saw and recognised a Nec entity's sigil tattooed to her forearm. I was like, in my head, "WTF?" I didn't know what to make of it, because I didn't think anyone would be that insane to tattoo a Nec entity's sigil on their body, even at that age. I was stunned, and partially vindicated, as in "Oh, that's that cloud around her".

Well, I asked her about it. She told me that her and her friends did a ritual one night, skyclad, and they used her body for the alter. She was also the "sacrifice"....

Man, oh man, I tell you, I've never seen or felt such a sorrow, or seen such hollow eyes. It gives me the chills just thinking about it. That's not a literary device. Really, I feel chills right now. I wish I could say I was joking about this, but those closer to me know that I'm very rational, and I'm being very rational right now, with these memories.

Obviously, I left her alone, and never spoke to her again. I did though, in the prayers of those years, in my heart, hope that one day she'd be free.

Okay, enough of that, I'm rambling now. Yes, I would be interested in your results as well, if you are still here. (Probably not)

-F.F.

Frater FAME,
I don't suppose you remember what the sigil was on her arm do you? Do you feel it was one of the 50 (though I doubt that) or one from the Urilla text? I don't believe they(being the 50) would do that to a woman who didn't know any better. Though its true this system shouldn't be trifled with. Now the Urilla text is another matter all together. So how did the ritual go with the sigil being carried around on paper? I'd like to find out.

I agree with Mr. Broom. I know the Great 50 very well and have never seen anything even slightly evil about thier nature. Even my friend Suhrim who kills the enemies of the priest without thought when called acts as a kind and goodly spirit towards the priest.

However if U are an evil person who worships dark Gods and plots evil things it is concievable that the 50 could attack you when called.

Peace

In the spellbook it states not to repeat a sigil charging more than 3 consecative days, anyone know why?

Thats a really good question. What's complicated about doing the ritual charging more than 3 times? Unless he didn't want the aspirant to get discouraged and quit altogether. Ashnook, Smasher666 any thoughts?
