Hey Everyone! Has anyone ever read the book of Necronomicon? It is something that I have never seen before.?

Answer 1

The Necronimican you can buy is a book writen in the 70's to cash in on Lovecraft's popularity. It is a hodgepodge of esoteric stuff. The original Lovecraft book doesn't exist! He made it up a a plot device.

Answer 2

Forget the Necronomicon -or Necromonicon, or however it's spelled... It's junk. Get the Grand Gimoire instead. It's just as relevant, actually. I've got a leather-bound copy, and the binding is worth more than what's inside of it!

Answer 3

The Necronomicon, or "Book of Dead Names," is pure invention. It was originally conceived as a literary device by horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, as background for his story The Hound. In the fictional history he later created, the Necronomicon was the product of an Arab poet, Abdul Alhazred, who worshipped extra-terrestrial deities named "Yog-Sothoth" and "Cthulhu."

Answer 4

It should still be available either at bookstores or online. But be warned; it is not the mysterious occult book it pretends to be. It was merely inspired by the writings of H.P Lovecraft and after his death many publishers have gone on to claim that it is indeed the authentic work of Abdul Alhazred though it is actually entirely fictitious. I would recommend reading it adjacet to reading Lovecraft.

Answer 5

Pure fiction based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft, the horror author who inspired such writers as Clive Barker. Some Babylonian mythology thrown in for flavor and suddenly it's accepted as a religious text.

Says a lot for religious texts.

Answer 6

Very few people actually have read this, and you aren't likely to find them here. Here is my site with info about the book(s) and if you scroll down it will show you where the few copies are known to be. There are certainly some others as well, but it would be very difficult to find a true copy, and prove it was a true copy. Also, you would likely have to have it translated.

Answer 7

been there, done that
I have read it..Lovecraft, Crowley et alia
resurrecting/ reworking/retrofitting witchcraft/cultist beliefs into a new "golden dawn" occult belief system --with a healthy dose of the Enuma Elish
a pure fabrication, fiction, literary genre

however,
very influential to later writers...
occult, d&d, demons;some would ascribe a resurgance of interest in Wiccan/Gaian/Black Majics....
so...
influential but...
reading it becomes boring....
after all...the 50 names of Marduk????

read the Enuma Elish for the original

Answer 8
