About The Fifty Names of Marduk
When Babylon became the capital of Mesopotamia, Marduk, the patron deity of Babylon was elevated to the level of supreme god. Acknowledged as the creator of the universe and of humankind, the god of light and life, and the ruler of destinies, he rose to such eminence that he claimed 50 titles. His name literally means “bull calf of the sun”.
The Enûma Eliš, an epic poem of creation, tells the story of Marduk’s birth, heroic deeds and becoming the ruler of the gods. Included in this document are the fifty names of Marduk. They can be found here: The Fifty Names of Marduk
According to the mythology of the Necromonicon, (a work of fiction by H P Lovecraft), and an adaptation of that mythology, The Necronomicon Spellbook, Marduk was the God who defeated the Ancient Ones long before the creation of matter as we know it. These Fifty Names, (according to the Necronomicon) were titles given to Marduk by the Elder Gods after he had helped them to defeat the Ancient Ones.
Each of the names has a magickal power and a sigil or symbol that goes along with it. What follows is a concise listing of the names, each linked to the information that goes with it:
“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. And the Calling be to the North.”

Note:
Some of these names are not quite the same as the ones in the original translation. I am unclear as to why this is so, and have, for the most part, used the names as they were written in the Necronomicon Spellbook because this is the source of the sigils and seals.
Ninnuam
From the Fifty Names of Marduk in the Necronomicon Spellbook.
The Fiftieth Name is NINNUAM.
This is the Power of MARDUK as Lord of All That Is, Judger of Judgments, Decider of Decisions, He Who Determines the Laws and the Reign of Kings. He may not be called, save at the destruction of a city or the death of a king. His Word is GASHDIG.
The Warning should be observed scrupulously. “King”, however, may be taken to mean also, besides heads of state and monarchs, corporation executives and religious leaders.
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.

Addu
From the Fifty Names of Marduk in the Necronomicon Spellbook.

Raises storms that fill the entire heavens and causes the Stars to tremble and the very Gates of the IGIGI to shake in their stead. Can fill the skies with his brightness, even in the darkest hour of the night. His Word is KAKODAMMU.
Sometimes it is too difficult to deal with a situation that involves a great many extenuating circumstances, the personal feelings of several people, which may be confused, for instance. The invocation of ADDU can dispel the confusion and the troubled feelings and help clear the air in a quick and dramatic fashion. In extreme cases, ADDU can abruptly change the entire situation for the better by throwing a fast-moving random factor into the pattern that causes everything to change and dispel bad energy.

Gibil
From the Fifty Names of Marduk in the Necronomicon Spellbook.
The Forty-Sixth Name is GIBIL.
This Power has been given the Realm of the Fire and the Forge. He keepeth the sharp point of the Sword and the Lance, and giveth understanding in the working of metals. He also raises the Lightning that comes from the Earth, and maketh Swords to appear in the Sky. His Word is BAALAGNITARRA.
According to the esoteric teaching, this Spirit initiates the magician into the processes of self-knowledge, refining those base components of ourselves that remain secret even to us, or are revealed through the costly process of psychotherapy and analysis. Helps you to understand why you are the victim of passions and urges you cannot control, and how to eventually control them. Worth the trouble involved to invoke for the serious student.
Important note:

Esizkur
From the Fifty Names of Marduk in the Necronomicon Spellbook.
The Forty-Fifth Name is ESIZKUR.
This Spirit possesses the knowledge of the length and Life of any man, even unto the plants and the demons and the gods. He measures all things, and knows the Space thereof. His Word is NENIGEGAL.
About this spirit we may not speak. He can be invoked at your own discretion, should you find such information desirable or necessary. A word of advice, though, from someone experienced in these matters. Do not ask from ESIZKUR knowledge of your own length of life. Unless you are prepared to deal with that information in a useful and productive way.
Important note:

Kinma
From the Fifty Names of Marduk in the Necronomicon Spellbook.
The Forty-Fourth Name is KINMA.
Judge and Lord of the Gods, at whose name they quake in fear. That the Gods may not err, this Power was given to oversee their activities, should they be lawful and within the nature of the Covenant, for the Gods are forgetful, and very far away. His Word is ENGAIGAL.
When all else fails, when your prayers and invocations come to nothing, when it seems as though God has forgotten you and abandoned you to your fate, when the situation seems hopeless with no chance of improvement, call on KINMA with all your heart and mind and soul. Empty yourself of your fear and loneliness in his presence, and he will carry your message to the throne of the Gods themselves.
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.

Irkingu
From the Fifty Names of Marduk in the Necronomicon Spellbook.
The Forty-Third Name is IRKINGU
This is the Power that laid capture to the Commander of the forces of the Ancient Ones, KINGU, Mighty Demon, that MARDUK might lay hold of him and, with its blood, create the Race of Men and seal the Covenant. His Word is BARERIMU.
This Spirit can also give knowledge of past lives and incarnations, because it was there at the time of the creation of the human race, and knows of its origins through the Blood and how the Demon KINGU was captured. When invoking this Spirit, meditate for awhile quietly before you close the circle, looking meanwhile into a smooth polished surface like a mirror or a crystal ball, and various images will arise that will tell you what you wish to know.
Important note:

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:
