Asharru
In 1994 I was walking around Charlottesville and I went into this little shop that sold cheesy commercial trinkets (Thomas Jefferson pens, postcards, crystal pendants, magic amulets made in China) and I picked up this circular amulet with an interesting design on it.
I put it on.
Freaky shit started to occur on a regular basis thereafter. Example: the amulet BURNED. It burned because it fell on top of a plugged in powerchord, the one millimeter gap between the socket and the plug itself, and shorted out the electricity for a 20 block radius.
There were spirits and what not.
I found the design, eventually, in a book. Here are the two relevant passages:
MARDUK was chosen of the Elders to fight KUR and wrest power from the Great Sleeping Serpent who dwells beneath the Mountains of the Scorpion. MARDUK was given a weapon, and a Sign, and Fifty Powers were given to him to fight the awful TIAMAT, and each Power has its weapon and its Sign and these are the mightiest possessions of the Elder Gods against the Ancient One who threatens Without, who threatens from the Abyss, the Lord of Darkness, the Master of CHAOS, the Unborn, the Uncreated, who still wishes ill upon the Race of Men, and upon the Elder Gods who reside in the Stars.
The 48th Seal of Marduk:
The Forty-Eighth Name is ASHARRU
Knower of the Treacherous Ways. Gives intelligence of the Future and also of things Past. Put the Gods in their courses, and determined their cycles. His Word is BAXTANDABAL and this is his Seal:
