Hi everyone
I was wondering if it is better to perform a Fifty Names of Marduk rite more than once to increase the energy level of the working and improve focus.
Any input welcome.
Many thanks
Depends on your intention and reason for repeating, in any ritual.
if you are repeating this as part of the ritual design to build the energy incrementally, but confidently, there’s no issue with this.
If you’re repeating it from a sense that the ritual is inadequate or some fear of lack in execution, the universe will hear that and more lack is what you’ll manifest.

I cant figure out how to post this question, so I’m stapling it here as it relates to the necronomicon. The ritual of the walking asks for an Invocation of the god and goddess every day of the full moon, what are these invocations? I don’t see one in the book for this purpose
Invocation means inviting the spirit into your being so that you take on their traits and in some sense become them. It was very popular in Egyptian magick, and the pyramid texts explain how to use invocation to pass the tests of the afterlife.
It’s not a specific ritual unique to Lovecraft or the various necronomicons inspired by his universe.
We have a tut here on how to invoke:
I appreciate your answer, I was more wondering what god and goddess I’m supposed to invoke for this ritual particularly, it just says “invoke thy God in the dawn of the morning and thy goddess is the dusk” I haven’t found any such goddess or God in the book, and no specific invocation for it, can it be any god and goddess of my choosing?
Which “Necronomicon” are you talking about? There’s about five of them and each one is different.

Sounds like you might as well do what you feel is best. As DarkestKnight mentions, it would be helpful to know which book you mean but I might not have a copy to look at. Someone here might though.
What are you trying to do with your ritual?

Is it the Simon Necronomicon? Looks like this
What page are you on?
Edit: Nevermind, I found the quote. It is the Simon Necronomicon. I’ll look through and see what I find.

It’s the Simon necronomicon, the exact one you’ve pictured
I wasn’t aware until now that there was multiple iterations of this book, good to know, might have to go through the others and see if there’s common denominators
The ritual of the walking is to start on the ladder of lights, to open the gates of the elder gods and thus be able to summon them for further workings
That’s the direction I was leaning from what I was seeing but I looking around for confirmation. On page 89 in the binding of evil sorcerers it a line reads “My God and my Goddess cry over me.” Here to it doesn’t name them either so another point for it being your choice.
Then I looked through The Gates of The Necronomicon by Simon. It is basically a commentary on the gate walking process, and probably what I should have checked first. On page 173 it has commentary on what the significance of the god and goddess were and concludes with this
So it is definitely up to you

So it’s basically a meet and greet? You get the first contact out of the way, and once you have that energy signature locked in, it’s easier to get hold of them for other rituals? Ok cool.
I have very little experience when it aligns to working with any of the 50 entities in the necronomicon. An older gentleman at a spiritual store near my neighborhood downplayed it by saying “That was just made by a bunch of college students with no life those sigils don’t actually work.” I replied back by saying “With energy and intention I would assume it works.” He just brushed me off and rushed me out of the store.
Is this the case? Was he right about it or was he just in one of those moods?
