Truth
Lugalugga
From the Fifty Names of Marduk in the Necronomicon Spellbook.
The Forty-Second Name is LUGALUGGA.
Knows the Essence of all Spirits, of the Dead and the Unborn, and the Starry and Earthly, and the Spirits of the Air and the Spirits of the Wind as well. Which things he may tell thee, and thou wilt grow in wisdom. His Word is ZIDUR.
Enables one to work magick with greater ease and speed, but also to divine the Truth in any given situation, to sense the reality behind the false-fronts of personal behavior in others, to know immediately when you are being deceived, or when others are deceiving themselves.
For the magician, this Spirit gives excellent information concerning the art of Magick itself, and how the spirits may best be summoned.
Important note:
“The Signs and Powers 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. And the Calling be to the North.”
More information:
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.
