Concerning the fifty names

[Qryztufre]

I wrote these a while back, though, this is may not be my final draft...however, I've kind of grown away from much of this type of thing, so any changes will likely be based on groups discussions here...

At any rate, I took the Necronomicon & the Enuma Elish & have meshed them together as I saw them...

Enjoy

_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_

Forward notes: I have abbreviated the Necronomicon as Nec and mainly refer to the ancient tablets as Text.

Variations in spelling are in (parentheses) the first name in all cases is taken from Text.

Where names do not match the numbers the number of there is belongs in the Nec will be placed in [brackets].

________________________________________
(01) Marduk
Marduk is the Name of Names, the name given to Marduk at birth and as such is an actual Godform above all the others. Marduk as a godform has far more power then any of the following names and has many of their combined attributes. Use this name at your own risk.

(02) MARUKKA
MARUKKA appeases the Igigi and pleases the Anunnaki for he knows their hearts (and secrets). He is stubborn to summon and should only be called by the purest of heart. He can assist in discovering secrets for little is known that he does not know.

This entity is a King (Lugal) who is exalted as a god as his fathers. LUGALDIMMERANKIA is Commander of the Wind Demons and that he has quelled the troubled waters. He fought beside Marduk Kuros in the great war and his considered a lord in heaven as well as in the underworld.

This is the first power which Anu gave to Marduk in the great assembly. He is the great light, and a mighty leader and will protect the gods and their lands. He wields the flaming sword and controls the watchers. It is unknown whether a mortal can control his power.

________________________________________

ASARU, ASARUALIM, and ASARUALIMNUNNA seem to be the gift of Anshar, Lahmu, and Lahamu according to the quoted text below.
Three each of his names have Anshar, Lahmu, and Lahamu proclaimed;
Unto the gods, their sons, they did utter them:
"We have proclaimed three each of his names. (160)
Like us, do you utter his names!"
Joyfully the gods heeded their command,
As in Ubshukinna they exchanged counsels:
"Of the heroic son, our avenger,
Of our supporter we will exalt the name!"

(10) ASARU
ASARU is the great Cultivator and establishes the water levels. He is the creator of herbs and grain and can cause vegetation to grow under any condition. He will teach the Priest to plant anything that can grow.

(11) ASARUALIM
He is the great counselor who does not fear. He gives great wisdom and shines light within the dark places.

(12) ASARUALIMNUNNA
Another great counselor, ASARUALIMNUNNA shall show no fear to either god or man. He directs the decrees of Anu, Enlil, Enki, and Ninigik and ensures their will is done. He is also has great knowledge over Armour and military matters. It is said that he can outfit an entire army in three nights.


_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_

I plan on continueing this regardless, it's only a matter of whether or not people would like it shared here or not.

Feel free to critique it if need be...just keep in mind that it's more of a mix between the two, rather then just one or the other. It's also my first draft and will likely change...at this time I'm mainly just seeking input.

Thank you for your time...

[Qryztufre]

GISHNUMUNAB is NOT in the Necronomicon and NINNUAM is NOT in the ancient text. If anyone has dealt with NINNUAM I would be VERY pleased to hear from you about it! As such, I have maintained the numbers as (text) [NEC] all previous numbers match in both manuscripts so were left as is.
_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_

(36) [0] GISHNUMUNAB
GISHNUMUNAB Created man and the worlds regions. It was this power which destroyed Kingu and his legions and who formed man from their substance.

(37) [36] LUGALABDUBUR

This pre-eminent power is revered for his great intelligence. He has knowledge of things not yet made and of all things already created.

The strength of Anu is LUGALLANNA and he as been made supreme at the call of Anshar. As the gift of the eldest of the elder ones he remembers the time before the great battle. He understands the ways of when the Anunnaki and the Igigi were at one and will share this wisdom with the priest.

This wisdom of GIBIL is so great that not even the eldest gods can fathom it. He is a master artisan who created great works in the time of the great battle. He knows the realms of Fire and the Forge and it is he that keeps the weapon sharp in the time of need.

ADDU's thunderous roar causes the very heavens to shake and storms to muster over the wide-ranging lands. He, as MUMMU may control the storm and it is he that controls the light, even in the dark places. This power may provide sustenance for the people.

(49) [48] ASHARU
This power knows treachery before it comes to light for he governs both the future and the past. The people are truly in his charge and puts the gods in their courses for it is he that determines their cycles.

(50) [49] NEBIRU
NEBIRU holds the key to the gate between heaven and earth so that the gods must wait on him before they can cross over from the stars. He is the brilliant star in the night sky saying: "He who the midst of the Sea restlessly crosses, let 'Crossing' be his name, who controls its midst."

(0)[50] NINNUAM
This is the Power of Marduk, lord of lords. It is he who determines the dynasties of man and the laws of nations. His power is too awesome for the priest to muster.

________________________________________

May they keep the stars on their course!
May they guide the gods with justice!
May they vanquish the enemies of man!
When the Days of man have grown old and Ancient Ones again rise,
May they make them recede back into the depths!
At their name may the Elder gods rejoice!
May Anu speak:
"The Lord of the Lands! May all the gods proclaim!"
May Enlil speak:
"The Lord of the Lands! May all the gods proclaim!"
May Enki speak:
"May those who the father's proclaim in name,
as I have proclaimed. Like me shall they be.
May all the rites be combines and the Covenant formed.
May the instructions be carried out.
With the title "Fifty" the great gods may they make the way supreme!"

_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_-¯-_

And so the 50 names were given to Marduk, and created.
Q

[hitman777]

I don't know if anybody else here fights, but working with Lugalabdubur can really help with your fighting.

[Qryztufre]

Has anyone worked with NINNUAM and if so, how is this entity?

If not, anyone willing to give it a go?

The same applies to GISHNUMUNAB.

The reason I am asking is that because each of them is only listed in one of the two sources...meaning one is unskewed by the Simon Myth, and the other is purely the construct of Simon.

[Alterarch]

I've called up most names, over the years, but till recently I haven't been too systematic. In all cases, even with friction, I would realize the adjustments in my approach and consciousness to smooth out the connection. I'm on good terms with all the names.

With Ninnuam it was and is different. It feels like an outsider to me. A real sneaky one at that. The word "Ninnu" means fifty, and "am" (long a I think) means "measure" or "capacity" or "to measure out", according to the online Sumerian lexicon. I took it to mean "fiftieth", but it seems to mean something like "the measure of fifty".

What I felt from it was as if it tried to control the other names or place conditions on them. It seemed to me the "judge of kings" extended to judging the other names and what you could do with them. To me (and it is just my own experience here), Ninnuam is a controlling influence so nobody goes beyond a certain point with the rest of the names. It seems to be interweaved into the whole and acting even when you don't call it. That is the impression I got when I did contact it.

This was the only name I could not really commune with in terms of the Covenant. Even Marduk is reasonable in that sense. Ninnuam seemed to be attempting to over-ride even Marduk, and I do not see the two as the being of the same ilk.

As for the name Gashdig, dig means "weak" or "soft". Sha, I found means "to break", and "ga" is either a measure of capacity or indicating the return or cycling of something. In any case, this analysis came later, but reinforced my experience that this name was out for laying restrictions on the seeker in the name of testing them.

I did not trust the "don't invoke this except upon the death of a king" deal. How often does this happen? Yet it can mean to invoke it whenever the opportunity for some kind of authority arises. And to me it seems geared to place conditions on authority. I have not found it anywhere in the Enuma Elish and think it is something Simon put in to restrict use on the names.

This brings me to Gishnumunab. There not only did I have a good connection, but it was euphoric and I was encouraged to come up with my own seal, which did pop into my head easily.

I know Simon was into Enochian magic, and I Gishnumunab helps if you are working with something like the governers in that system. It helps in anything relating to how human beings as cultures and peoples are connected. I am still exploring the implications here with this name.

I do think, however, that Simon purposely was afraid someone might gain power that he sought for himself, and that Gishnumunab might be an access to what are called the governing spirits of geographic areas or human collectives.

I think he wanted to profit off a system, but designed it in such a way, and partly from ignorance, so that nobody goes beyond a certain point. What I have done was give Ninnuam the boot and instill Gishnumunab as part of the natural continuity of the 50 names.

Anyway, I could not go too deep with this because my contact was relatively superficial, and I have not yet explored the possibility of coming up with a word on my own.

Sorry for the lengthy ramble, and certainly this is all based on personal experience and research, and not written in stone.

[hitman777]

Very intelligent post, and would definetly explain the huge drain, and the loss of memory and knowledge in certain areas when working too indepth with the 50 Names that some have experienced. They do seem like really powerful scam artists, though at least one seems completely insane and useless for learning from. I don't remember the name off hand, the "allknowing" one. He's a nutcase.

[Alterarch]

Would the "allknowing one" happen to be the second name, Marukka?

(02) MARUKKA
MARUKKA appeases the Igigi and pleases the Anunnaki for he knows their hearts (and secrets). He is stubborn to summon and should only be called by the purest of heart. He can assist in discovering secrets for little is known that he does not know.

Simon doesn't even provide a word for this one.
