In the past 31 years, there has been a lot of ink--actual and virtual--spilled on the subject of the "Necronomicon." Some have derided it as a clumsy hoax; others have praised it as a powerful grimoire. 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. The "Necronomicon" has been found to contain formula for spiritual trans-formation, 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. In spite of all the controversy, the first edition sold out before it was published. And it has never been out of print since then.
The famous Necronomicon in English, a version with illustrations of rituals, seals and circles, and a list of invocations to challenge the Great Eternal.
The Necronomicon is a fictional dark book invented by Howard Phillips Lovecraft for his short stories. Although the author admitted in his letters that the book is only a figment of his imagination, many people around the world are convinced that several pieces of it exist.
An iconic manual for practicing black magic, it has had a huge impact on the world's occultism and esotericism. The book describes various magic rituals and is considered the cornerstone of black magic including necromancy, or bringing the dead back to life.
