Answer 2

The Necronomicon is a book mentioned in writings of HP Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and a few others. The Necronomicon mentioned in those fictional writings never existed, and neither did "it's" author, "The Mad Arab".
Several different publishers have printed their own versions of "The Necronomicon" in order to make money. In these cases, the book is a meaningless ploy to take money from customers and give it to bookmakers.
The Necronomicon, as a construct in a collection of fictional horror stories, is not associated in any way with Witchcraft in any form, including religions such as Wicca. It is also not associated with religions based on worship of the JudeoChristian symbol of evil known variously as Satan, the Devil, and Iblis.

Answer 3

The original Necronomicon was created by L.P. Lovecraft as Taliesin stated. It was thought of as a Book of Shadows that was crafted by a man who was driven mad by his adventures into darkness. After Lovecraft's work of fiction was published, rumors that an actual book existed came into being. It was rumored to contain much very dark magic and to even read it would lead to madness. Since then books were written by others and had claims of being the original book. This is what I have been told . I am generalizing here , but my experience is that people who are into the Goth lifestyle and are witches have a real knowledge of Lovecraft's works. You might want to look into some of the Goth views on Necronomicon. I hope this helps. Blessed Be.

Answer 4

The Necronomicon used to be at first a nonexistent paintings defined by way of H.P. Lovecraft. When requested approximately the meant tome, he admitted he made it up and that it used to be thoroughly fiction. Years later, a few fanatics of Lovecraft wrote the primary of the books referred to as The Necronomicon, and it used to be released. A moment ebook, the "Simon" Necronomicon used to be additionally released, and finally a spellbook used to be performed, founded at the first. You will pay attention plenty of terrible matters approximately the EEEVIL Necronomicon. Having learn the entire literature, it is ok, and bigger-written than the Book of Nod or Revelations of the Dark Mother, however none of it'll force you mad or tempt you to kill persons. Peace.
