The Necronomicon

I am writing this in response to the numerous posts in the Joy of Satan
e-groups I have read over the years by those who speak with such a "knowing"
authority, same as some xian bitch told me off in an atheist forum many
years ago. She chided me with such authority. She just KNEW. That's right,
she just KNEW. Seems all these people just "KNOW." That was a major turning
point in my life that brought me from atheism to Satanism. A year later
after doing my own research and study of the false so-called "religion" of
Christianity under the direction and guidance of Satan, I encountered the
same stupid goddamned bitch again in another forum and unloaded on her. She
had nothing to say.

Far too many people just believe what they are told or whatever they read
and take it as a fact. This is what is called "The God Part of the Brain."
Being servile and needing direction from others deemed as "authority."
I know where much of the crap about the Necronomicon being a work of fiction
comes from. This is the same old shit as they claim Satan is an "archetype."


The Necronomicon is NOT a work of fiction, nor was it "invented by Howard
Phillips Lovecraft." http://www.hplovecraft.com
Now, for starters, HP Lovecraft was born August 20th, 1890 and died the 15th
of March 1937.

Ok, now for those self-appointed authorities, if he was born in 1890, just
how in the hell did he invent the 1586 Necronomicon?
http://www.angelfire.com/empire/serpent ... omicon.pdf That's
right, 1586, FOR ONE. That's just one. There are others that even precede
this copy. The 1586 copy was authored by Dr. John Dee, you know, the man who
brought us the Enochian calls. If anyone would take the time to read the
Preface in this book, authored by Dr. Joseph Talbet, Ph.D., D.Litt, Harvard
University, the TRUE history of this powerful GRIMOIRE is revealed:

Here are some excerpts:

The Necronomicon is primarily known to the general public due to the
writings of Howard Phillips Lovecraft. The word "necronomicon" is the title
of a Greek translation made around 950 A.D. by Theodoras Philetas from an
original Arabic manuscript. A Latin version of the Greek translation was
made by Olaus Wormius in 1228 A.D. The original Arabic title of the work was
"Kitab al Azif" which can be roughly translated as "The Book of the Howlings
of the Desert Jinn (or demons). The name, "necronomicon", which the Latin
version retains means something like things pertaining to the customs,
practices, or laws of the dead. Nekros being Latin for "dead" and nomos
meaning the customs, practice, or law."
The original writer was supposed to have been an Arab named Abdul al Azrad
who supposedly died around 738 A.D. in Damascus. Death was due to being torn
apart in the street by unseen entities. The name is probably mistranslation
since no self-respecting Arab would have such a name. The true name was
probably Abd Al Azrad. In Arabic the name is more of a title meaning the
"slave of the devourer" or "worshipper of the great devourer", supposedly
alluding to the Great Old Ones.

The John Dee translation of the Necronomicon reprinted in this work comes
from the collection of the Widener Library at Harvard University. The book
was part of the personal library of Harry Elkins Widener, American
millionaire and founder of the Widener Library. Mr. Widener obtained this
text in 1912 shortly before he boarded the Titanic.
The binding of the book is original, but badly cracked and split. The text
is complete, but many pages are separated and others are crumbling.
Restoration efforts are presently underway, and the book has been digitally
preserved as part of this effort.

The History Of The NECRONOMICON

Al Azif � In Arabic, written by Abd al-Hazrad c. 730 A.D. Original for is
unknown but numerous manuscript versions were long circulated among various
medieval scholars. As early as the 12th century this version was referred to
as lost.

Necronomicon- In Greek translated by Theodoras Philetas c. 950 A.D.
Existence of early hand written copies is unknown. Mass printing of copies
in Italy in the summer of 1501 in a folio-sized edition led to a surge of
religious suppression by the church. The book was banned by the church and
included in the Index Epurgatorius by Pope Gregory IX. The last known copy
of this version was known to have been burned in Salem in 1692.

Voynich Manuscript � In Latin and Greek using Arabic script. Translator
unknown, c. 1020. An unknown number of this manuscript were produced
probably in Romania. Only three copies are known to have existed.

Necronomicon- In Latin by Olaus Wormius, c. 1228 A.D. First circulated in
manuscript form, then printed in Mainz Germany around the end of the 15th
century as a black letter folio.

Necronomicon � In English, translated by John Dee c. 1586. An accurate but
expurgated version of the Greek edition. Printed only in small numbers by
private publishers, manuscript copies also are known to have existed. It is
from this edition that this reprint comes from.

Necronomicon � In Latin c. 1630 A poor quality reprint of the 1228 Latin
version. Published by an unknown publisher in Spain.

Al Azif � Ye Booke Of Ye Arabe � In English, translator unknown, c. 1590 An
incomplete and muddled text. Circulated in manuscript form, there were
probably fewer than ten of these manuscripts ever written.

Cultus Maleficarum � In English, translated by Baron Fredric, c. 1597. A
partial translation of the Latin text. Published in Sussex England.


"Necronomicon" means the "Book of Dead Names." With the intrusion and
dominance of Christianity, the names of the Original Pagan Gods were dead.
In other words, few people used them. Even for those who are marginally
literate in regards to the occult, it is glaringly obvious that this text is
not a work of fiction.
In addition, there have been tragic consequences for a few who experimented
with this book the wrong way. The "Gods" are real beings, but as with other
ancient texts on the occult, there is another side to the writings- that of
allegories. Those who take the writings in a literal way often do not get
the results they expected or desired. With everything of so-called religion,
there is a true and there is a false aspect; the real and the artificial.
This can be blatantly seen in Satanism vs. Christianity. Everything in
Christianity is false and artificial.

The true purpose of the Necronomicon text is to serve as a grimoire for
opening the soul. "Leviathan," "Cthulhu," are names for the serpent
kundalini "who lies sleeping and dreaming." "Narayana" probably one of the
most ancient names for Cthulhu is also seen in the East Indian Hindu
"Mah�bh�rata" which is thousands of years old.

The Necronomicon is a very powerful grimoire. So much knowledge has
been systematically destroyed and confiscated, but Satan and his
Demons have preserved nearly everything to this day. To the
uninitiated, writings are taken as literal. The closer you get to
Satan and the more you know of Satanic symbols and True Satanism, you
will see things for what they really are: allegories that reveal
ancient and powerful knowledge.

The Necronomicon translates into the "Book of Dead names." Those who
are without take this as necromancy. Those who know, understand the
book is not about necromancy, but working with names that have not
been used for thousands of years; thus- "dead." These "names" are
words of power, when correctly vibrated.

Many grimoires use code words. The only way to understand is either
from divine guidance given from Satan and his Demons or from a
disciple who has already received this. Most of the 1586 Necronomicon
has to do with opening the chakras and raising the kundalini.
The "Mad Arab" raised his kundalini, which opened his mind and soul
and made him "mad." In other words, too much psychic input too soon
for some, can be a problem in maintaining sanity. The "burning" of the seals
and such in the Necronomicon represents the burning of the seals of the
chakras and thus the cleansing of the chakras through kundalini. The madness
and experiences of Abd al-Hazrad are resulting from his opened chakras and
the kundalini.

The symbols in the 1586 Necronomicon are real alchemical symbols, no
different from the Sigils of the Goetic Demons. Properly used, they have
power.

The same is with the Tarot. Those who are without (many are those
holier than thou new agers) are forever excavating and digging around
Ancient Egyptian tombs and beneath the sphinx searching for scrolls
that were reportedly hidden by Thoth. Those of us who are close to
Satan know that Thoth's writings and message is before us here and
now, and is contained in the Tarot for one. Those who are without
cannot see into the deeper meanings, as this can only come through
Satan.

Historians quibble over Akhenaton's supposed disease, which caused his
serpentine features. None can see the alchemical message of the
male/female hermaphrodite, which symbolizes the union of the male and
female chakras, leading to the Magnum Opus. Those who are without
take things as literal. They also miss the meaning of the serpent
entirely.

The Elders and the Ancients are an allegory. "God/s" = the code word
for chakra/s.

This is all advanced. Once you know the code words, you will
be able to see the meanings. It is a different way of reading.

Getting back to the Necronomicon, the Simon copy has been altered and so
have the symbols. This does not mean the book is fiction; it has just been
altered and corrupted.

To wrap this up, at this point (I will write more later on this), nearly all
of the "occult" has its foundation in spiritual alchemy. Each and every one
of the tales of the Gods is an allegory. Those who are advanced in knowledge
know this. Spiritual knowledge was hidden over the centuries due to attacks
such as the huge blemish of Christianity upon the world that rots
spirituality til this day.

Unbeknownst to many Satanists, the roots and foundations of Satanism have
been preserved in the Far East. Many of these later came to Egypt, such as
the mantra "Ohm" vibrated "AUM" which evolved into "Amon" and was then
stolen and perverted into "Amen." Many of the names of our Demons can be
found in Sanskrit, which is exceptionally powerful and from my studies and
from working with it, I believe this to be the original language of
humanity. There are variations of the names of the Demons, each depicting a
spiritual concept. Inanna (Astaroth) in Sanskrit is Jnana, which is
knowledge, intellect and wisdom for one. "J" in many languages other than
English has the "Y" sound. I have found many names of Demons. Anu and others
are also included. In addition, "Left Hand Path" originated with Tantra, the
meaning being the way of doing in contrast to the "Right hand Path" of
abstaining.

I will soon be writing a full explanation of true meaning of the
Necronomicon, page by page.

great
devourer", supposedly
alluding to the Great Old Ones.

The John Dee translation of the Necronomicon
reprinted in this work comes
from the collection of the Widener Library at
Harvard University. The book
was part of the personal library of Harry Elkins
Widener, American
millionaire and founder of the Widener Library.
Mr.
Widener obtained this
text in 1912 shortly before he boarded the
Titanic.

The binding of the book is original, but badly
cracked and split. The text
is complete, but many pages are separated and
others
are crumbling.
Restoration efforts are presently underway, and
the
book has been digitally
preserved as part of this effort.

The History Of The NECRONOMICON

Al Azif – In Arabic, written by Abd al-Hazrad c.
730
A.D. Original for is
unknown but numerous manuscript versions were
long
circulated among various
medieval scholars. As early as the 12th century
this
version was referred to
as lost.

Necronomicon- In Greek translated by Theodoras
Philetas c. 950 A.D.
Existence of early hand written copies is
unknown.
Mass printing of copies
in Italy in the summer of 1501 in a folio-sized
edition led to a surge of
religious suppression by the church. The book
was
banned by the church and
included in the Index Epurgatorius by Pope
Gregory
IX. The last known copy
of this version was known to have been burned in
Salem in 1692.

Voynich Manuscript – In Latin and Greek using
Arabic
script. Translator
unknown, c. 1020. An unknown number of this
manuscript were produced
probably in Romania. Only three copies are known
to
have existed.
