According to Sumerian mythology, Marduk was the God who defeated the
Ancient Ones long before the creation of matter as we know it. Against
him in battle were the fierce TIAMAT, KINGU, and AZAG-THOTH. Once he
had destroyed these demons, he created the universe from the flesh of
TIAMAT, and humanity from the blood of KINGU mixed with his own breath.
You will come across these names in the description of the Fifty Names,
which were titles given to Marduk by the Elder Gods after he had helped
them to defeat the Ancient Ones. This is nothing less than the Biblical
story of the war in heaven and the fall of Lucifer; and, in fact, it
was recorded by the Sumerians even before there was a Jewish religion,
as the Sumerians were the first civilization in the Middle East and
their holy books and legends became the basis for much that we read in
the Old Testament. The Tower of Babel, for instance, is very probably
the Ziggurat (or temple) of Babylon. which was originally a Sumerian
city before it was captured by the Assyrian hordes.
Several of the Names do not have Words. In that case, using the Fifty
Names are given in the section entitled 'A Guide to the Spells'.
The special Seal for each Name is given on the chart.
The Seals are to be found in the Simon's Necronomicon "Book of Fifty
Names".
THE FIFTY NAMES OF MARDUK
1
.The First Name is MARDUK.
The Lord of Lords, Master of Magicians. His name should not be called
except when no other will do, and it is the most terrible
responsibility to do so. The word of his calling is DUGGA.
This, the first name of MARDUK, should only be used when life is
threatened. It is not wise to use it on any other occasion, of
flippantly in way. To do so would be to render the other seals and
names worthless, for MARDUK would abandon you to your fate.
2
.The Second Name is MARUKKA.
Knows all things since the beginning of the World. Knows all secrets,
be they human or divine, and is very difficult to summon. The Priest
