1. Kassaptu Lemuttu (Akhtya Nachttoter)
(Incantations of Zaqiqu-Demons of the Underworld)
Mimma lemnu (“anything evil”), Lamastu, mumitu (curse, oath)
Blood poured: Ardat-Lili, Lamastu
Zaqiqu (wind demon) from Irkalla
Zaqiqu (demons) fly from the grave
Vampyric Dead thirsting for blood
Emissaries of Chaos
Southwinds, Gods of the Night,
Annunaki enthroned in the Netherworld
Kassaptu Lemuttu, Evil Witch of Eldritch Sorceries
Kassapu Lemuttu, Warlock of Udug-Hul!
Kassaptu (witch) who augurs doom
Malice and demonic spells whispered into darkness
The wax figure is named and prepared,
Limbs twisted rack him in pain
Open the grave and his cursed figure
Etemmu emerge as Vampyric ghosts

2. The Vampyric Rabisu at the Threshold (Akhtya Nachttoter)
From below the horizon I rot in the earth
Netherworld opens for my return
Demonic Etemmu to possess this corpse
Udug-hul (‘hul’, ‘evil’) awaken Sedu (‘spirit, aspect of the soul and demon’)
Rising from the coffin
Slumbering among the thirsty dead,
Given the powers of the Southwind
Born of Anu and Ki, Spirit and Flesh becomes an Evil God
Ahhazu (the seizer), Bel-uri (lord of the roof), Rabisu (Lurker)
Lamastu, smeared with blood
From the corners we drink your blood, eat your soul
Lilitu, the pact of nam-erim, Mamitu (oath, curse) eternal
Seven Dimme, Sebitti, Seven Storms of Darkness
Among the ruins and desert wilderness
Joined by blood thirsting Etemmu,
Restless ghosts howling upon the winds
Deathly Alu summoned by demons (Lil-Spirits)
Drink my fill of blood, as Kasapu (casting witchcraft),
I form clouds against my prey (my shadow standing over her)
Storm-clouds cannot be scattered
haunting and seizing limbs
A ghost is sent as a dream, nightmares cling to her flesh.
Fly forth upon nocturnal skies,
Darkened clouds, phantom form
Akhkharu, Alu, Lamastu, Lilitu necromantic Undead

3. Nergal, Lord Who Prowls by Night (Akhtya Nachttoter)
Irkalla (Underworld), deathlike dreaming in a tomb
Erra, mighty Usumgallu (Dragon-Serpent)
Enthroned in Kutha
Nergal, Lord who Prowls by Night
Erra stirred by the Seven Sebitti
Furious warriors, rebel gods
Seven Udug-Hul consuming, destroying
Blazing radiance of Terror, Melammu
In the West, Utu has shone forth for you
Awe-inspiring dais radiating across the abyss
Nergal, who can kill and bring life back
Holding the keys to the Netherworld
In the East, Nergal is imbued with a terrible radiance
Lord of War and Destruction, spiller of blood
Nergal, dragon covered in gore
Drinking the blood of living creatures
Usumgallu (Dragon) who is covered in gore
Battle-mace drips blood and flesh
Nergal whose power has filled heaven and earth
Nergal, angry sea, unleash your awe and terror!
*Hymn adapted from a late Sumerian hymn to Nergal and the Erra-myth.

4. Seven Udug-hul (Akhtya Nachttoter)
Spawned of Heaven and Earth, rise from the Netherworld
Seven malefic stars, blazing across the skies
Anu and Ki, rebel-gods, demons free to haunt cosmos
Melammu (divine radiance) is lofty of the Seven
Billowing clouds causing gloom in Heaven
Blast of rising winds, darkness across the sky
Seven gods of the broad heavens
Seven gods of the Netherworld
Udug-hul, Ala-hul, Gidim-hul, Galla-hul,
Dimme, Dima, Dimme-Lagab demons
Evil gods whirling as chaos-storms,
Enter homes to murder
Seven demons, forms change
Continual nightmare phantoms
Enter the house, shadows in the corner
Spirits thirsting for blood
Evil God, Demon of the Steppe,
Utukku of the Mountain,
Udug-hul, Ala-hul, Gidim-hul, Galla-hul,
Dimme, Dima, Dimme-Lagab demons
Demons of the Sea, Udug of the Tomb
A Goring-Ox, Ghost raging against life
Eating flesh, spilling blood
Drinking blood from veins
Gallu-demons filled with malevolence,
Never cease consuming blood
Ala great demon of perversion, night-haunting to possess prey
Destroy bodies from the inside, Legion!
Udug-hul, Ala-hul, Gidim-hul, Galla-hul,
Dimme, Dima, Dimme-Lagab demons
Udug-hul slips over the threshold
Devouring, destroying, kill the father, kill the son
Evil Udug spares no one
Etemmu and Utukku ride on winds of evil spells

5. Scourge of Lamastu (She Who Strangles the Lamb) -Akhtya Nachttoter
She is fierce, violent, Lamastu of divine power
Terrifying is the Daughter of Anu
Lamastu is a she-wolf, claws are the Anzu
Her hands are decay, face of a raging lion
Bring me your sons, I will nurse them poisoned,
Rotten pestilence, black blood
Bring me your daughters for I am thirsty
In the mouth of the young I shall place my breast
She who Strangles the Lamb
She comes forth from the marshes
Her hair hanging loose, and clothes stripped off
Lamastu’s hands, caked in flesh and blood
She enters the window, Lamastu!
Slithering over the door casing like a snake
Long claws, seize the infant seven times
She enters and leaves the house in the night
Lamastu, cast from the Heavens, crowned as a goddess
Prey upon this living world,
Drink and feed from the flesh of the living
Scourge of Lamastu
Kamadme, Spirit of Sumerian ruins
Vampyric Goddess whose powers are many
Lamastu, Labasu, Ahhazu, Seven times seven shadows
Bibitum (a demon of chills) on northern winds you travel
Saggastu!
Female murderer, the roaming ghost, demoness!
Vampyre who haunts the Steppe
Hand of the Ghost of a Murderer (Qat Saggasi)!
Samana, Jaws of a Lion
Teeth of an Usumgal
Claws of an Eagle
Blood-dripping mouth of Ninisina

6. Gidim-hul, Blood Thirst of the Dead (Akhtya Nachttoter)
Etemmu neglected in funerary rites,
The ghosts rise from their graves
A blood meal to take souls for eternal life
Haunting between the world of living and dead
Anzagar, by nightmares!
Ahhazu, seizing demon before me!
Hajjatu-demons, we drink the blood
Shulak, Lilitu, Rabisu!
Gidim-hul, blood thirst of the dead
Rabisu, hear me!
Mimma Lemnu hear me!
Sedu hear me!
Utukku by Crossroads
The grave transformed this ghost,
growing thirsty for living blood
Feed and prey upon mankind, drink their souls!
Arali did not contain me, I rise from the tomb.
Dust and darkness are my way, the winds of raven’s flight
Some have forgotten, hunger strikes and my spirit twists
Etemmu thirst for blood, become as Udug-hul
Gidim-hul, haunt and torment,
Drink the soul dry,
Blood be spilt, may the dead lap up the blood
Gidim-hul, blood thirst of the dead
Rabisu, hear me!
Mimma Lemnu hear me!
Sedu hear me!
Utukku by Crossroads
Pestilence and Plague powers of Namtar
Nergal Lord of the Underworld
We are of the Netherworld
Inflict the living with disease
Striking the mortal flesh with blood-shadows

7. Pazuzu, King of the Lilu-Demons (Akhtya Nachttoter)
From Chaos is Order come to be,
The Winds haunt the earth
Pazuzu, Son of Hanbu,
King of the Lilu-Demons
Ascend the mighty mountain
By the winds towards the west,
One by one I broke their wings,
Parching winds I command
Pazuzu, mighty one, ascending mountains
who faces and subdues all winds
Pazuzu, angry winds,
Who’s rising is terrible
Fierce one, raging one, destroys the high mountains
Howling at the world regions
Pazuzu, parches the marshlands
Withering the reeds
Thou four-winged god of terrible radiance,
Who teared down trees, passing through the Gardens,
Withering the fruits fallen
Pazuzu, descended to the living turning it to ice
Breaking the bones of the men with joy
Pazuzu, bestow protection upon that which I deem worthy,
Ascend the mountains!
