Synopsis"This is the testimony of all that I have seen, and all that I have learned. . . . For this is the Book of the Dead, the Book of the Black Earth, that I have writ down at the peril of my life..." The classic and controversial grimoire--a book of magic, spells, and rituals, ready to be incorporated into your life Since its initial publication in 1977, there has been a lot of ink spilled on the subject of the Necronomicon . Some have derided it as a clumsy hoax, while others have praised it as a powerful spell book. As the decades have passed, more information has come to light both on the book's origins and discovery, and on the information contained within its pages. Regardless of its origins, the Necronomicon has been found to contain formulae for spiritual transformation consistent with some of the most ancient mystical processes in the world--processes that were not public knowledge when the book was first published, processes that involve communion with the stars. Despite the controversy, the first edition sold out before it was published--and it has never been out of print in the decades since then. If this book or the arcane practices that it claims to illuminate have ever piqued your interest, then wait no longer, and discover the truths that the Necronomicon has in store for you and the impact that it can have on your life., In the past 31 years, there has been a lot of ink-actual and virtual-spilled on the subject of the Necronomicon.

  • History

    I am a history fan. Purchased this book and realized it's b a basically a compilation of ancient Sumerian cuneiform texts from 5000 years ago presented as some mystical or magical writings. Some say H.P. Lovecraft wrote it but the ancient Sumerian cuneiforms were not translated until around or after Lovecraft's death. Not even sure how Lovecraft could deny the books existence when it was first published 40 years after his death...So maybe it was written 1200 years ago by the mad Arab (predating the only account of cuneiform translation?) Or written by Peter Lavender in the 1970's after Zecharia Zitchin translations. It's hardly a book magical book of power without understanding the meanings behind the names of the gods who basically wrote the earliest examples of human understanding of the earth, solar system and the universe 6000 years ago who some how actually understood more about our existence than we truly do know today.

  • Mesmerizing

    If you want to understand the Necronomicon, you should read this book first. It doesn't matter if you believe the Necronomicon is real magic, or just interested in it for curiosity sake. The fear factor over this book is ridiculous. No spook is going to get you. Just read the book!

  • A great ancient tome for a great value.

    And a quick delivery! This book isn't for the novice practitioner or those who do not have a respect for the occult..there is a reason Crowley used it..

  • Actually a pretty good read!

    Not nearly as scary as the title leads on. Don't read the chants aloud and you'll survive to the end. MU-ha-haa!
