Mythological dictionary

marduk

(Akkadian) - the main god of the pantheon of Babylonian gods and the city of Babylon, the father and judge of the gods, the patron of magic and healing, water and vegetation, the son of the god Ey and the goddess Damkina. When the goddess Tiamat was about to take revenge on the gods for the murder of her husband, all the gods were afraid, and only M. agreed to fight with her troops, but demanded for this that he be brought into the council and made the supreme god. He demonstrated his power to the gods by making a star appear and disappear, and the gods chose him as their head and blessed him for battle. M. armed himself with a bow, a club and a net, created four heavenly winds and seven storms against the eleven monsters of Tiamat’s army and entered the battle. He drove an evil wind into Tiamat's open mouth so that she could not close her mouth, and struck her with an arrow, and then dealt with her retinue, while taking away from Kingu the tables of fate, which ensured their owner world domination. Then M. cut Tiamat's body into two parts and created earth from the lower half, and heaven from the upper half. He allocated possessions to the gods Anu, Enlil and Eya, determined the paths of the heavenly bodies, and divided the gods into heavenly and underground. Under his leadership, the gods created man. In gratitude, the gods built a heavenly Babylon for M. with the temple of Esagila and proclaimed fifty of his names, transferring to him the power of all the main gods of the Akkadian pantheon. M.'s symbol is an axe, his beast is the dragon Mushkhush.

Marduk

Marduk(Akkadian MAR.DUK “son of clear sky” in other interpretations “mar duku” - “son of the world hill” or “amar utuk” - “calf of the Sun God Utu”) - in Sumerian-Akkadian mythology, the supreme deity of the Babylonian pantheon, the supreme god in Ancient Mesopotamia, patron god of the city of Babylon after 2024 BC. e. Son of Ey and Damkina (Damgalnun), husband of Tsarpanit, father of Nabu, god of scribal art. Associated with the planet Jupiter.

Babylonian priests of the mid-1st millennium BC. e. all deities were declared to be incarnations of Marduk:

  • Ninurta - Marduk of agriculture;
  • Nergal - Marduk of war;

  • Enlil - Marduk of power and council;

Written sources report on the wisdom of Marduk, his healing arts and spell power; God is called “judge of the gods,” “lord of the gods,” and even “father of the gods.” Along with the healing goddess Gula, he was endowed with the ability to resurrect the dead.

During the reign of Marduk, the priority was the New Year's holiday, which began in the month of Nisan. In Babylon, this holiday was called Akitu and was a 12-day ceremony, which was the successor to the Sumerian holiday A.K.I.TI.

Examples of the use of the word marduk in literature.

It was built by the underground gods Anunnaki to glorify Marduk, patron and king of Babylon.

The priests of Babylon immediately informed him that they had fifty-three temples of the great gods, and fifty sanctuaries of the king of the gods Marduk, yes three hundred sanctuaries of earthly deities, yes six hundred sanctuaries of heavenly deities, yes one hundred and eighty altars of Nergal and Adad and twelve other altars.

The god Ea destroyed Apsu and bound Mummu, and the solar god Marduk went into battle against the dragon Tiamat.

And from them were born the gods - Enki, An, Nanna, Utu, Ningirsu, Damgalnuna, Nintu, Mami, Bau, Ishtar, Erre, Ereshkigal, Lahar, Ashnan, Namma, Uttu, Ninhursag, Dumuzi, Enmesharra, Shamash, Ishtar, Atad, Marduk, Abzu, Eya, Tiamat, Alsou, Mummu, Anshar, Kishar, Bela, Nabu, Lamashtu, Nergal, Amon, Mut, Khonsu, Ptah, Sekhmet, Nefertum, Isis, Nut, Geb, Aker, Hapi, Shan, Osiris, Maat , Apis, Mnevis, Buhis, Bata, Hathor, Khnum, Sebek, Bast, Tefnum, Anubis, Horus, Thoth, Ra, Apep, Meritseger, Nephthys, Uto, Shu, Tefnut, Set, Apedemak, Deduzh, Onuris, Tsagan, Heitsi Eibib, Legba, Aido, Hwedo, Mulungu, Heine, Ishoko, Izuwa, Kiumee, Wende, Liona, Lyuba, Limi, Leza, Obasi, Osa, Faro, Nommo, Mithra, Apap Napat, Haoma, Soma, Arta, Friend, Ahuramazd , Asha Vahishta, Vohu Mana, Khshatra, Vairya, Spenta Armaiti, Haurvatat, Amrtat, Zervan, Mithra, Verethragna, Ashi, Tishtriya, Aka, Mana, Atar, Ahriman, Gayomart.

The Elamites removed the statue Marduk- Babylonian Jupiter, and the Babylonians did not feel free until they brought her back.

Xerxes felt very bad, because the Babylonians rebelled, and Xerxes punished the city terribly: he killed the priest Marduk, took away the golden statue Marduk twelve cubits high and deprived the city of its significance as a royal capital.

The forces of creativity and order opposed them: Marduk fought with Tiamat, Baal - with Lawton, Zeus - with the Titans, Apollo - with Typhon.

Ea, Shamash, Ninurta, Enki, Ninmah, Marduk, Inanna, Utu, Dumuzi and many others are metaphors, like everyone who came after them, the embodiment of the best and worst human qualities, but we must admit that these are the most ancient and powerful metaphors.

Marduk, who was depicted as a winged bull, Nabu - he was depicted as a winged man, Nergal - a winged lion and Ninurta, who was depicted as an eagle.

The whole East worshiped the daylight: Babylonian Marduk, Syrian Shemesh, Iranian Mithra were considered his personifications.

Answer: the ass of a native Babylonian, a taxpayer and voter, a representative of an ancient Babylonian family that gave five priests to his native state Marduk and one heretic deviator who worshiped Aten of Misr.

It’s not for nothing that the ass is more characteristic of those people in whose horoscope it shines brightly Marduk- giver of blessings and satiety.

Tsar Marduk, which rose soon after sunset and was going to shine all night, could have rivaled Ninurta in splendor if its splendor had not been eclipsed by the Moon.

Nine feet tall, stood the Lord Marduk, son of Hey Sea and Damkin Sky.

Bel Marduk climbed to the very top of the ziggurat so that everyone could see him.

Necronomicon

(i) Ice"Di/Triumph THE NECRONOMICON part_5God of Jupiter - Lord of Sorcerers, MARDUK KURIOS, lord of the double-edged axe. MARDUK is the son of our father ENKI, he was born to fight against the forces of the Ancients, and won this difficult battle, conquering the armies of Evil and trampling the Queen of the Ancients. However, this Snake has not died, but is only sleeping. The Council of the Elder Gods bestowed upon MARDUK fifty Names and Powers, which he still possesses to this day. Its color is purple. Its essence is contained in Tin and Bronze. Its sixth gate, which you pass through in rituals. His step on the Ladder of Lights is purple. You must carve his seal on a tin or bronze plate when Jupiter is visible in the heavens. In this case, it is necessary to make special appeals to our Lord ENKI. This seal should, like all others, be wrapped in pure silk and set aside until the time comes to use it. Know that MARDUK appears in the guise of a mighty warrior with a long beard and a flaming disk in his hands. He patrols the skies with a bow and a quiver full of arrows. Do not forget that you should call on him for help only in the most dire circumstances, for his power is strong and he is fierce in anger. If you need the power of Jupiter, first call in its place any of the other powers listed here, and they will surely come.The number of MARDUK is ten (10).The god of Saturn is NINIB, also called ADAR. This is the Lord of Hunters and the Lord of Power. He is crowned with horns, dressed in a lion's skin and holds a long sword in his hand. He is the owner of the last Sphere, beyond which the dwellings of the terrible ISIS begin. Its color is black. Its essence is contained in Lead, in the burnt coals of a fire and in all objects associated with death and antiquity. His symbol is the horn of a deer. His Gate is the last one you will pass through in rituals. His step on the Ladder of Lights is black. The seal of NINIBA should be engraved on a lead plate or cup and kept away from the eyes of the profane. It should be wrapped in silk and set aside until the right time, just like other seals. It cannot be removed while the Sun is shining. Use it only after nightfall, when darkness falls on the earth, for NINIBU knows the favorite paths of demons prowling among the shadows in search of victims. He knows better than anyone the lands of the Ancients, the rituals of their servants and the location of the Gate. His kingdom is the Night of Time.Its number is four (4), (like the quarters of the Earth). BOOK 4 NOTE: Since the following spells are very dangerous, some lines have been removed from them so that frivolous pranksters do not fall victim to forces beyond their control.BOOK OF THRESHOLD AND WANDERINGSThis book is about the entrance to the Seven Supermundane Spheres, which were known to the Chaldeans and the ancient races who worshiped the gods in the forgotten temples of Ur. Know that these spheres are ruled by celestial spirits and that the priest can pass through these lands, beyond which lie the Wastes of the Outer World. Know that when he embarks on a journey through this Ocean of Spheres, he must leave a Watcher to guard his body and property, otherwise he may be killed until he is unable to defend himself, and his soul will have to wander forever in the dark spaces among the Stars, unless it is devoured monstrous IGIGI living outside the Spheres.Know that you must walk along the Steps of the Ladder of Lights, ascending each in its proper time and place, and that you must pass through the gates in such a way as is indicated in the Testament; otherwise you're lost. Know that you must undergo purification for one moon before you ascend to the First Degree, then another moon between the First and Second Degrees, another between the Second and Third, and so on. During this period of time you must refrain from any outpouring of semen, but you can serve at the Temple of ISHTAR, which will help you not to lose your substance. And this is a great secret.You must turn to your god at dawn, and to the goddess in the evening twilight, and so on every day during the month of purification. You must call upon your Watcher and carefully enumerate to him his duties, telling him the time and place where he will serve you, and drawing a ring around you with a flaming sword. 7 Clothing for the Travel should be comfortable, clean and simple, but appropriate for a particular Stage. In addition, you should have with you the Seal of the Degree to which you are ascending, with the image of the Star that owns it. You must prepare an altar, facing the North, and furnish it with images of your deities or other suitable images, as well as a sacrificial bowl and a brazier. A Gate should be drawn on the ground of such a size that you can pass through it. It is best to perform the ritual in the open air. If you are preparing for the ritual of passing the gate under the roof, then you should remove from the ceiling everything that is suspended from it, not even leaving a lamp (with the exception of Summoning Operations, which are described in another Book). The only sources of light should be four lamps standing on the ground, in each of the four Gates of the Earth: one lamp in the North, a second in the East, a third in the South, a fourth in the West. The oil for lamps must be pure and odorless, or fragrant and associated with the Star into whose Gate you wish to enter.The Seven Gates are:FIRST GATE - GATE OF NANNA, ALSO CALLED SIN SECOND GATE - GATE OF NABU THIRD GATE - GATE OF INANNA, ALSO CALLED ISHTAR FOURTH GATE - GATE OF SHAMASH, ALSO CALLED UDDU FIFTH GATE - GATE OF NERGAL SIXTH GATE - GATE GATE THE SEVENTH GATE OF LORD MARDUK IS THE GATE OF NINIB, CALLED ALSO ADARYour path should begin after the rituals described below.First you must dedicate one moon to the rite of purification. At this time, meat should not be eaten, and during the seven days preceding the last day of the moon, all food is prohibited, with the exception of sweet water. In the last three days, you must call, in addition to your god and goddess, also the Three Great Elder Gods - ANU, ENLIL and ENKI, using the correct appeals to them. The number of ANU is sixty, the number of perfection, for he is the Father of Heaven. The number of ENLIL, the father of the wind, is fifty. And the number of ENKI is forty, the most exalted of the Numbers, and he is the Father of all who dare to tread long-forgotten paths and go on journeys through unknown lands, among the Wastes and the terrible monsters of Azonea. Further, on the night of Passing the Gate, which should coincide with the 13th night of the moon (despite the fact that the purification ritual began on the 13th night of the previous moon), you must approach the Gate with reverence and awe. Having erected your Temple, you must light the Fire, curse it with an appeal to the God of Fire and pour incense on it. Then you must offer sacrifices to the deities on the altar. Thirdly, four lamps must be lit from a flaming brazier, while addressing each of these Watchtowers and invoking the powers of the corresponding Star. Fourth, the Watcher should be summoned by plunging the sword into the ground where it is located and not touching it until the time comes to release it. Fifthly, you must take the Seal of the Star in your right hand and quietly whisper its Name over it. Sixth, you should read the Path spell loudly and clearly and go around the Gate in a circle, starting from the North, then go to the East, then to the South and finally to the West. This must be repeated as many times as the Number of the Star dictates. Seventh, you must approach the center of the Gate in front of the altar and fall to the ground, looking neither to the right nor to the left, not paying attention to any movement, for these rituals attract many wandering demons and ghosts to the Gate. In the air above the altar you will see the Gate opened before you and the spirit of the messenger of the Sphere, who will greet you with a clear voice and give you a Name that you must remember, for this is the Name of Passing the Gate, which you must use every time you enter this Gate. Every time you will be greeted by the same spirit-messenger, and if you do not tell him his name, he will forbid you to enter and you will immediately fall to the ground.Having passed the First Gate and received the Name, you will fall back to earth, to your Temple. Whatever moved at the Gate on earth will disappear. Say words of gratitude to the gods on your altar, put away your sword so that the Watcher can leave, and read the spell of INANNA, which tells how she conquered the underworld and defeated KUTULA. Then all the Idimmu will be defeated, and you will have the opportunity to move away from the Gate and extinguish the Fire. Until you pass the Gate of NANNA, you must not call upon him; exactly the same with NABU and other Gates. Having reached the Limit of the Staircase of Lights, you will receive knowledge and power over all the Spheres and will be able to call on them for help in times of need. However, this will not give you power over the APSU, for this power is achieved differently, in the rituals of the Descent. This ritual should be performed on the 15th day after the 13th of the month in which you passed the Gate of Marduk. For MARDUK destroyed the Demons, and INANNA, the goddess of Number 15, conquered the Lower World, where some of them still live. This is the most dangerous ritual. It can be performed by any person who owns the formulas, regardless of whether he has passed through the previous Gate or not; it is desirable, however, that before descending into the abyss he still has time to pass through the Gates of Marduk. Therefore, few were able to open the Gates of ADARA and talk with the Two-horned One who lives there, who bestows wisdom associated with the rituals of necromancy and spells that bring death closer. Only after you have demonstrated your power over Maskim and Rabishu can you dare to enter the Land of ISIS. For this reason, a Covenant was made that no one would be able to pass unharmed through the Deep Valleys of the Dead before he had ascended to MARDUK, and would not be able to cross the threshold of the Gate that lay beyond ADARA before he had seen the signs of the Mad God and will experience the wrath of the Queen of Hell. And only one defense exists against the Ancients. Only a madman (such as they call me!) can hope to overcome those who live in the Outer World, for their powers are unknown, and their hordes are not numbered by anyone, and every day they give birth to as many new creatures as the mind cannot imagine human beings, and so terrible that the sight of them is impossible to bear. There was a time when the Gates of the Outer World remained open for too long, and I saw horror that cannot be described in human words. The Ancient One, who escaped into the Inner World, was forced by the great sorcerer to return back, but the monster managed to cause enormous damage to the trees and herds on the Island. Many sheep suffered an unusual death, many were devoured; people fell unconscious, for the mind is able to comprehend what was happening, but the sight of the Ancients is unbearable for an ordinary person, since they come from a world that is not straight, but distorted, and exist in forms that are unnatural and painful for the eye and mind, so that at the sight of them the spirit is frightened and runs away from the body, and at such moments terrible demons take possession of the body and settle in it until the Priest expels them to where they came from, so that the ordinary spirit of a person can return to its home.

In Mesopotamia, in the valley between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Mesopotamia in Greek, at the end of the 4th millennium BC, a civilization arose that is considered one of the most ancient on Earth. The Sumerian tribes who lived there built cities and invented writing, the so-called cuneiform. The Akkadian tribes that later settled in Mesopotamia, together with the Sumerians, created the Sumerian-Akkadian state, the capital of which was the city of Babylon in the first half of the 2nd millennium. It was around this time that Sumerian-Akkadian mythology was born. The god Marduk became the patron saint of Babylon. The Council of Gods chose him as their king. Marduk led a war against an army of primeval monsters with their leader Tiamat, which means “sea.”

Written sources that have reached our time report on the wisdom of Marduk, his ability to heal, and his magical power. He had four eyes, four ears, and fire spewed from his mouth. He controlled the winds, whirlwinds and hurricanes. He was all-powerful. The Babylonian priests called him “the judge of the gods,” “the lord of the gods,” and even “the father of the gods.” His cult in Babylon was distinguished by extraordinary splendor; solemn processions were organized in his honor, for which a patterned stone road was specially paved. It was Marduk who fought with the first ancient gods, angry at the manifestation of his power, defeated them and created a new world order.

That's how it was. Tiamat, the goddess of the World Ocean, of all salty waters, who gave rise to the world, decided to destroy Marduk. She gathered all the monsters, ferocious monsters, put her husband, the god Kingu, at their head, handing him the “tables of destinies” that determined the world order, and prepared for battle. The younger gods asked Marduk to come out to fight. He agreed, but demanded that he be recognized as the head of all the minor gods. He was recognized and endowed with great power. He armed himself with a bow, a club, a net and, accompanied by his faithful heavenly winds and storms, set out on a chariot to meet the monsters of Tiamat.

It was a terrible fight. Tiamat wanted to destroy her enemy, she was full of wild anger, because elemental forces were subordinate to her, she could easily drown and defeat Marduk. But the cunning Marduk was not at a loss; he threw an “evil wind” into Tiamat’s gaping mouth, and she could not close her mouth, her body immediately swelled. Then he threw his net and entangled Tiamat with it. The ancient goddess was exhausted. Then Marduk pulled the string and released the arrow. Tiamat was finished. Then Marduk began to deal with her retinue, terrible monsters. He destroyed some, others fled in fear, and he captured some.

Marduk emerged victorious in this battle. He captured Tiamat's husband, the god Kingu, and took away from him the “tables of destinies” that gave him world domination. Marduk ordered to put shackles on him and assign a guard to him, the demon of death.

The original chaos of the ancient gods was destroyed, and now Marduk had to create a new world. The building material for this was the body of Tiamat. He cut it in two. From the bottom he made the sky, from the top he made the earth. The goddess’s skull turned into a mountain, and two great rivers flowed from its eye sockets - the Tigris and the Euphrates. Marduk bolted the sky and placed a guard so that the water could not seep down to the ground. He also created the planets and stars, determined the movement of the Moon and the Sun, and divided the year into 12 months. A new order has reigned in the world. Then, on the advice of the gods, the captive god Kingu was executed, and from his blood people were created to serve the gods.

The symbols of Marduk were tools - a hoe, a shovel and an ax, and his body parts were compared to various animals and plants: “his main entrails are lions; his small entrails are dogs; its spine is cedar; his fingers are reeds; his skull is silver; the outpouring of his seed is gold.”
The gods were very pleased with the creative activity of Marduk, praised him, and in his honor they began to build a majestic temple in the sky, which they called Babylon, which meant “God’s gate.” This myth later allowed the Babylonians to consider their capital as a reflection of the heavenly temple on Earth.

Supreme deity of the Babylonian pantheon, supreme god in Ancient Mesopotamia, patron god of the city of Babylon after 2024 BC. e. Son of Ey (Enki) and Damkina (Damgalnun), husband of Tsarpanit (Militta, Bilit), father of Nabu, god of scribal art. Associated with the planet Jupiter.

Excerpt describing Marduk

- I hate it, I hate it! And you are my enemy forever!
Natasha ran out of the room.
Natasha no longer spoke to Sonya and avoided her. With the same expression of excited surprise and criminality, she walked around the rooms, taking up first this or that activity and immediately abandoning them.
No matter how hard it was for Sonya, she kept an eye on her friend.
On the eve of the day on which the count was supposed to return, Sonya noticed that Natasha had been sitting all morning at the living room window, as if expecting something, and that she made some kind of sign to a passing military man, whom Sonya mistook for Anatole.
Sonya began to observe her friend even more carefully and noticed that Natasha was in a strange and unnatural state all the time during lunch and evening (she answered questions asked to her at random, started and did not finish sentences, laughed at everything).
After tea, Sonya saw a timid girl's maid waiting for her at Natasha's door. She let her through and, listening at the door, learned that a letter had been delivered again. And suddenly it became clear to Sonya that Natasha had some terrible plan for this evening. Sonya knocked on her door. Natasha didn't let her in.
“She'll run away with him! thought Sonya. She is capable of anything. Today there was something especially pitiful and determined in her face. She cried, saying goodbye to her uncle, Sonya recalled. Yes, it’s true, she’s running with him, but what should I do?” thought Sonya, now recalling those signs that clearly proved why Natasha had some terrible intention. “There is no count. What should I do, write to Kuragin, demanding an explanation from him? But who tells him to answer? Write to Pierre, as Prince Andrei asked, in case of an accident?... But maybe, in fact, she has already refused Bolkonsky (she sent a letter to Princess Marya yesterday). There’s no uncle!” It seemed terrible to Sonya to tell Marya Dmitrievna, who believed so much in Natasha. “But one way or another,” Sonya thought, standing in the dark corridor: now or never the time has come to prove that I remember the benefits of their family and love Nicolas. No, even if I don’t sleep for three nights, I won’t leave this corridor and forcefully let her in, and I won’t let shame fall on their family,” she thought.

Anatole recently moved in with Dolokhov. The plan to kidnap Rostova had been thought out and prepared by Dolokhov for several days, and on the day when Sonya, having overheard Natasha at the door, decided to protect her, this plan had to be carried out. Natasha promised to go out to Kuragin’s back porch at ten o’clock in the evening. Kuragin had to put her in a prepared troika and take her 60 versts from Moscow to the village of Kamenka, where a disrobed priest was prepared who was supposed to marry them. In Kamenka, a setup was ready that was supposed to take them to the Warsaw road and there they were supposed to ride abroad on postal ones.
Anatole had a passport, and a travel document, and ten thousand money taken from his sister, and ten thousand borrowed through Dolokhov.
Two witnesses - Khvostikov, a former clerk, whom Dolokhov used for games, and Makarin, a retired hussar, a good-natured and weak man who had boundless love for Kuragin - were sitting in the first room having tea.
In Dolokhov’s large office, decorated from walls to ceiling with Persian carpets, bear skins and weapons, Dolokhov sat in a traveling beshmet and boots in front of an open bureau on which lay abacus and stacks of money. Anatole, in an unbuttoned uniform, walked from the room where the witnesses were sitting, through the office into the back room, where his French footman and others were packing the last things. Dolokhov counted the money and wrote it down.
“Well,” he said, “Khvostikov needs to be given two thousand.”
“Well, give it to me,” said Anatole.
– Makarka (that’s what they called Makarina), this one will selflessly go through fire and water for you. Well, the score is over,” said Dolokhov, showing him the note. - So?
“Yes, of course, so,” said Anatole, apparently not listening to Dolokhov and with a smile that never left his face, looking ahead of him.
Dolokhov slammed the bureau and turned to Anatoly with a mocking smile.
– You know what, give it all up: there’s still time! - he said.
- Fool! - said Anatole. - Stop talking nonsense. If only you knew... The devil knows what it is!
“Come on,” said Dolokhov. - I'm telling you the truth. Is this a joke you're starting?
- Well, again, teasing again? Go to hell! Eh?...” Anatole said with a wince. - Really, I have no time for your stupid jokes. - And he left the room.
Dolokhov smiled contemptuously and condescendingly when Anatole left.
“Wait,” he said after Anatoly, “I’m not joking, I mean business, come, come here.”
Anatole entered the room again and, trying to concentrate his attention, looked at Dolokhov, obviously involuntarily submitting to him.
– Listen to me, I’m telling you for the last time. Why should I joke with you? Did I contradict you? Who arranged everything for you, who found the priest, who took the passport, who got the money? All I.
- Well, thank you. Do you think I'm not grateful to you? – Anatol sighed and hugged Dolokhov.
“I helped you, but I still have to tell you the truth: it’s a dangerous matter and, if you look at it, stupid.” Well, you take her away, okay. Will they leave it like that? It turns out that you are married. After all, they will bring you to criminal court...
- Ah! nonsense, nonsense! – Anatole spoke again, wincing. - After all, I explained it to you. A? - And Anatole, with that special passion (which stupid people have) for the conclusion that they reach with their minds, repeated the reasoning that he repeated to Dolokhov a hundred times. “After all, I explained it to you, I decided: if this marriage is invalid,” he said, bending his finger, “then I don’t answer; Well, if it’s real, it doesn’t matter: no one abroad will know this, right? And don't talk, don't talk, don't talk!
