God Marduk

The Book of MARDUK, born of our Master ENKI, Lord of Magicians, who defeated TIAMAT, known as KUR, known as HUWAWA, in magical combat, who defeated the Ancient Ones that the Elders may live and rule the Earth.

In the times before time, in the age before heaven and earth were set in place, in the age when the Ancient Ones were the rulers of all that is and does not exist, there was nothing but darkness. There was no moon. There was no sun. There were no planets and no stars. No grain, no tree, no plant grew. The Ancients were Masters of Spaces now unknown or forgotten and all was HAS.

MARDUK was chosen from among the Elders to fight KUR and wrest power from the Great Sleeping Serpent that dwells beneath the Scorpion Mountains. MARDUK received a weapon and a Mark and was given fifty powers to fight against the terrible. threatens from the Abyss, the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Chaos, the Unborn, the Uncreated, who still wishes evil upon the Race of Men and the Elder Gods who dwell in the Stars.

The gods forget. They are distant. They need to be reminded. If they are not watchful, if the gates do not watch at the gates, if the gates are not kept always locked, locked and locked, then He who is ever ready, the Keeper of the Other Side, IAK SAKKAK, will come in and bring. with him the hordes of the armies of the Ancients, 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.

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