[@mrfugazi6713]

@@mimoza7514 you ain’t wrong either mimi I know a story about the painter Walter Sirkit if that’s his name but it’s best I can do mini, but anyway he done a painting and it was later a little bit controversial I think, he did 5 of these certain paintings one of them is in the art museum apparently and the painting has a as man coming up behind some in a black cloak at the time of the Jack the Ripper times or not long after. One of the other 4 was owned by the queen mother that’s true as well mimi, at the time he wasn’t a suspect but many years later someone called Praticia Cornwell linked to the forensic laboratory forensically linked the painter to Jack the Ripper, she wrote a really good book about it that’s where I found out about a certain painting that he did and like I said the museum has one and so did the Queen mother. One of the top people in Scotland Yard said if it had been today he would certainly be a suspect and he told his grandson don’t ever tell anyone that I was your grandfather for what reason he didn’t know I don’t think but there’s a documentary about him on KZbin I watched it quite a long time ago, take care of yourself mimi but what’s came out about the royals since in my opinion since they killed our beautiful prncess lady Diana isn’t nice at all I’ve seen documentaries and in my opinion there’s absolutely no smoke without fire, I don’t believe everything I hear not at all mimi but they wouldn’t even come out onto the balcony until the crowds booed them so that told us exactly what they thought of the poor woman, sorry to bring that up but before that happened mimi I tell you the truth, I wouldn’t ever hear a bad word about the queen never would I but now I haven’t got a good word to say about the queen and I just think they are leaches leaching off the people, I think Britain and everywhere else the monarchy should be a thing of the past, gone and gone for ever let them earn a days wage like the rest of us have to to get by.

Lovecraft was one of the first authors to set his universe in the public domain. A lot of other authors in his day and later copied or picked stuff from his Mythos - which gives it a nice feeling of 'could be real' just because every and anyone puts Lovecraftian eastereggs in their movies, books or games. Hell - I use references in my D&D games just because people notice them. King as far as I know is a Lovecraft-fan and has set many of his stories in the same-ish universe. The Evil-Dead-series references Lovecraft Even... G.I. Joe (the animated series) uses Lovecrafts Serpent-People as masterminds behind the bad guys...

You may or may not be aware of the warning in the front pages that specifically states “The NECRONOMICON'S magic is nothing to fool with and it may expose you to psychological forces with which you cannot cope. Remember if you fool with the incantations, you were warned!” Do practicing members of the occult use this book simply for the sake of entertainment & rhetoric?

[@Joshua-ce7ix]

Perception is reality..It’s available to the masses because the general public is too dense to perceive the book as being anything other than fiction. You either see what’s in front of you & genuinely follow the steps, or you don’t. What you see in the mirror is what your subconscious wants you to see (Freddy Krueger effect) ie if your thinking a scary demons going to pop out, then that’s what will happen! But if your thinking of ole uncle joe, or aunt Suzy, then that’s who’s going to come through! Or nothing can happen, if that’s what you wish. It’s about your will & how strongly you can focus it & project it inward/outward. People just don’t want to accept their own powers because power means responsibility & active participation..

Fun Fact: A book published by a Swedish artist, H.R. Giger in 1977, was a collection of images inspired by the story of The Necronomicon, and that book was given to the great Ridley Scott, who then went on to create the first Alien movie. He hired H.R. Giger to help design and create the artwork and concept designs for the movie. H.R. Giger was a huge drive and major contributor to the dark, yet beautiful, surreal art and look of the movie, Alien. And all that, was originally based off, or inspired by, the idea of The Necronomicon, from H.P. Lovecraft's stories.

After looking up more about the Necronomicon, I think it's name as the "book of the dead" applies quite accurately outside of any necromantic rituals within it's page, as the book itself does often lead to one's death and many have died using it's knowledge and power.

[@roosternm6830]

I lost 3 close friends after they conducted a ritual and recited incantations from the necronomicon. Things got weird at first and then down right scary. After high-school we all went our separate ways yet still loved in the same town. One by one over the years, all three of my friends died. One was obese and deeply depressed and became a shit in. He died of heart failure. The other had a blood disorder and had to have transfusions every month to stay alive. He died from AIDS. The most recent was from gun shot wounds and no suspect or weapon found. All 3 of them payed the price. I miss them dearly, but ever since they had that ritual I kind of knew something would happen to them.

How does that work?

[@roosterj2599]

For the Necronomicon's many incantations the reader has to believe in the power of the words. The incantations are to read out loud. Some prefer to be very ceremonial such as drawing the pentagram. On the ground and lighting candles at all 5 points as well as ceremonial robes with hoods. That is for not only the theatrics, but also to encourage the reader of the incantations to put his or her soul into it. Nobody has to believe me, but some of my friends from the crowd I hung out with decided that the 3 of them were going to try and summon a watcher spirit and for protection against anyone who opposed us. I was a bystander along with the others in my crowd. As my friend read the inventions a micro burst hit the area which is an annual weather event here in New Mexico during the monsoon season from July through September. My friend performed the ceremony of the Necronomicon at the end of March. That means that a microburst happening in March is very rare to non existant. As he read the wind was blowing and sky turned black. Thunder and lightning was so intense that it lit up the area with almost blinding light. The thunder was intense like a hammer hitting and anvil. The incantation was spoken and we all ran in the house as quater size hail came down. This storm kinda hit us and stuck around through the night. The power went out and our group of 13 kids were huddled up and scared. The storm sounded like it was done about midnight and the was an eerie silence. The power was still out and we had candles and flashlights. The dim light came from the kitchen where we put the candles. One of my friends who was once a practicing satanist stood in front of the window looking outing the huge yard full of pecan trees and I will never forget this. A huge bolt of lightning like sheet lightning was so intensely bright it was like it xrayed him and I could see his skeleton and some of his internal organs. Then the thunder was so loud it was defining. Shawn wasn't standing anymore and no longer in the room. We looked around the house for him and lightning hit again. One of my friends who happened to be looking out the window saw our xrayed friend out in the front yard with his hands raised yelling in nomani satanis. Latin for in the name of satan. Thunder rumbled hard and more lightning and our satanic friend was gone. After that night we were not the same. Our friend who disappeared showed up naked up on the Apache reservation shaking and wouldn't talk. He eventually got passed that. All of us stayed in touch. We went on to graduate high school together and some didn't. We became cops (me), catholic priests, gay rights activists, construction workers, military, etc but not my friend who read the incantation. His entire world fell apart. He secluded himself in his bedroom. He had a weight problems as it was. He stayed in his bedroom from 1997 to 2016. He had a heart attack and he had gained so much weight that they had to cut the outside wall on his bedroom and transport and treat him on a flat bed tow truck. He was flown in a cargo plane to Colorado and passed away there. Before his death his mother had a major stroke and his sister married and went away. The other 2 that were helping him during the reading were affected as well. One became a heavy prescription painkiller addict and has disappeared and the other be came HIV positive from a tainted blood transfusion in the early 80's when the AIDS epidemic began. He passed away from AIDS 3 years after the reading. This book and the words in it is very powerful and very evil. To even have a copy of it is dangerous. Avoid it at all costs.

In the early 1980s I was personally acquainted with a group of people who were involved in the publication of the Simon Necronomicon. These were a group of occultists who followed Aleister Crowley's teachings. In the 70's they would have gatherings where they would get blasted out of their skulls on drugs and booze, and improvise occult rituals. The rule among them was that the last one to leave the party would collect the notes from the ritual and destroy them. Simon was among them, and he broke the rule; he kept the notes from these rituals and used them as the basis for his Necronomicon. Later, these same people were involved in the testing of these rituals shorty before the book's publication. They warned me most earnestly not to play with what was in the book (I never did). I also knew a few people who experimented with the book after its publication. They suffered all kinds of unwanted side effects, including psychosis. I have no explanation for this; I merely report what I saw and heard.

The Necronomicon is a literary tool written by Lovecraft to authenticate a series of horror stories he wrote ,nothing more. If you read ancient languages, which is a must for such studies , you will realize that this so. This just goes to show that a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

[@rockinbobokkin7831]

More attention should be given in Lovecraft lore that he and fellow authors had a bit of a Writer's Club, and they frequently borrowed from each other quite freely, so that some characters, entities, and other literary devices , spanned across a good number of diverse works. It's really quite a genius little group of enthusiasts, and when I learned that, I received a heaping lump of additional respect for him and his genre.

[@jrrgimli5378]

Im not 100% sure, but i thought i heard a rumor that a similar book to the necronomicon is supposed to exist in the Vatican library (of course, the vatican library is rumored to have a lot of unbelievable or improbable things in it). It was either the necronomicon or some other book for summoning evil spirits and demons and such. Edit: just got to the part of the video where he talks about people believing its in the vatican XD

[@rasn]

JRR Gimli the vatican archives seem really only to have letters from past popes and historical figures like Abraham Licoln. It still sucks since it seems like a lot of really amazing texts are stored away A reason why it is "archived" is because a lot of historians believe there is evidence that the church was involved and helping both Mussolini's reign of terror and supporting the Nazi Party. probably not witchcraft sadly.

Here in ireland, we have a book in one of our major universities known as "The Book of Kells" it was written in the early 800s if I'm correct and it seems to be a normal copy of the bible, with beautiful illustrations. However, in the middle of the book, there is a two page enormous illustrations of Satan that is surrounded by symbols and instructions of rituals,it's quite an odd and sudden addition and many believe that this is a result of the author selling his soul to Satan in order to finish the book as it took him decades, do you think Lovecraft could have been inspired by this?

[@xander7023]

Giga Voltz I think you may have that a bit mixed up, The book of Kells exists, and is quite beautiful, but the book you’re describing is the Codex Gigas, which was created in what’s now the Czech Republic. The story of how it came to be made is a bit different. The monk who wrote it was given a year to write a full bible, or face execution in punishment for an unnamed sin. He prayed to god every night of that year in the hope that he would aid him. But on the final night, knowing he didn’t have time to finish, he prayed to the devil instead. The devil agreed to help, given the monk included extra pages on his behalf. Hence the folios if the devil and the strange rituals.

And the story says that in the desert he met the devil He told him about the beginning and the formation of the earth and that demons were the ones who inhabited it before all creatures, and after that God created the water and the creatures in it and withheld demons from it so that Adam and his descendants would dwell in it. Then the Devil taught Abdullah their symbols and how he could bring them and seek help from them and in exchange for their help, they always made him eat spoiled food, dead animal blood, and strange things, and when he decided to stop this work, Devil killed him.

[@psychedelicpayroll5412]

I can totally relate to Abdullah. I have been haunted in the same way and I now realized Satan has been calling me to the desert or to run away from home for awhile now. I always wanted to spend a day or 2 in the middle of nowhere since I was pretty spiritually stressed and I also written out alot of what I seen. I’ve seen Satan and heard Gods voice in my dreams.

There are 2 versions of the Necronomicon in circulation, the most famous one is the Simon's Necronomicon (which you mention), which is basically a collection of Sumerian mythology and rituals, as you say, and another one, which unfortunately I do not own and it's quite rare, which actually deals with Lovecraftian deities and Yog-Sothothery in general, which appeared in libraries in very limited numbers in the mid 1980s. I wish I had more information on this later version, and of course to own a copy, as my esoteric library would strongly benefit from its presence. What is actually pretty intresting anyway, is that no classic grimoire, Simon's included, except maybe the fanatic work of some Norse fucked up Satanist, deals with genocide, sacrifice and violence in general, on the contrary, sacrifice of a living being is generally frowned upon, it's a practice which is almost universally viewed as unnecessary and something that if anything will upset the gods. What's funny is that in the Old Testament we see all of it, genocide, human and animal sacrifice and generally conflict and war between tribes. So much for what theologists sell as religion of peace 😂

The part you said "hidden in plain sight" made me want to share my personal story with the Necronomicon. I was at a book store, my knowledge of the occult was very small at the time, mostly studied only mythology. And I was in the sci-fi section & the occult books were near by. Browsing them, I noticed on the top most shelf was a small book with its bookend pointed towards to the wall. Hiding the title of the book. I stand on my tip toes and pull out the Necronomicon. Wonder & curiosity flooded my body. I paged through the book, sigils, a language I didn't know. It was less than $10 so I bought it. I had only heard of it from watching the Evil Dead & figured it was fiction. I didn't read it till following year & it felt TURN BACK NOW like in the series of unfortunate events & house of leaves. I love horror & mystery & the book was fascinating. The idea of an ancient idol statue with a cult was interesting to me. I recognized the sumerian dieties, and had an interest in Inanna before. One day I left the book face up at the end of the bed. I have vivid dreams, and am a spiritual person (mostly worked with the norse gods then). I awoke that night, my bed surrounded by cloaked figured of different sizes. I wasn't scared, it felt like a meeting. I look over to the one standing next to me & said hello? It replied back in a voice like the nazgul from Lord of the Rings.. Hello. I froze. Decided I didn't want to talk to this being. Kinda wish I did looking back! So I called in Thor & with a crack of lighting the beings were cleared from my space. I did finish the book & never left it out again. I do think the sigil on the cover is a doorway. The book talked doorways often. I know the book is regarded as fiction but I do respect the book & the dead. I don't fear those beings, I have had interactions with dark entities & they didn't try to hurt me or scare me or take my energy like those would. Ancient beings of the underworld. I don't want to go to the underworld so I'll just keep the book on my shelf 😉

Finally though, I had some free time, and set about my perusal...but as soon as I got through the forward, and turned the page to the actual book, the power went out. I lit a candle, as it was getting dark and stormy outside, and continued my read. It stormed violently the entire time, until I reached the last page, and just as I finished, the power came back on. Needless to say, this had an impression on me, and I decided I wanted nothing further from this book, nor the entities described therein. Brought the book back to my buddy the next day, who said to me "You read it last night, didn't you?", "Yup, I did, how'd you know?", "The cats were screaming all night...keep it, I don't want it!" So I held on to it, sitting on my shelf unopened for ages, until one day I finally read a compendium of Lovecraft works, and then went looking for my copy...which had vanished without a trace.

These beings give the person power to resurrect the dead. The book also talks about astral planning and how the original author did this day in and day out to study the world’s history and learn its deepest secrets. It gives a step by step play of how to do this along with many other mind boggling puzzles. I didn’t believe in any of it and only read it out of curiosity. A lot of strange phenomena started happening in my life, like doors slamming, lights flickering in my house at the time, enormous amounts of birds gathering around my place, random ppl we knew were getting into freak accidents...and my girlfriend at the time suggested that I throw it away.

I can still remember Ed Warren proudly showing a reporter his "original copy" of The Necronomicon kept in his paranormal museum, then freaking out ever so slightly over the last years of his life as hundreds of guests at his lectures repeatedly proved it was a recently published work of fiction.

What do you call it when the cast of The Walking Dead get together for a meet and greet with their fans? NECRO-COMICON

[@johnoneil9188]

Also a big collection of Lovecraft´s works is titled Necronomicon. It is this really thick and heavy black book with Cthulhu in gold on the front.

[@alvinacosta9945]

John O ́neil yes that was the first time I ever read Lovecraft and it blew me away. Ever since other books I have read that have attempted cosmic horror are foolish and heretical.

@@simmothomas2138 OK. actually I've read the Epic of Gilgamesh, in English translation of course. It's actually not a very long read. It's one of the earliest works to have been written down and you can see a lot of stuff in it that later became part of the Old Testament. The flood for example.

@@erikswanson224 Yeah, except the ark described in Gilgamesh would never work, while the biblical ark uses a design that we use to this day

[@erikswanson224]

@@DavidbarZeus1 That could be true, I'm really not sure. I'm a little rusty in my cubit measurements. But, there were clearly cultures in the middle east at this time that were copying each other's stories. This is not surprising or unusual. Some of these stories were passed on to the tribes of Israel which were then written down from oral tradition as the Old Testament or Tanakh, as the Jews called it. Some of the Tanakh was passed on to the early Christians, most of who were, after all, Jews.

@@notamarxist8077 I'd rather argue that falls in that occult-nazi-trope we see in movies like Hellboy or Constantine or even Indiana Jones... rather than 'nazi virtue signaling'. And yeah. People in the early 20th century were still pretty fascinated by the occult - just think about things like seances in the salons of the wealthy, mummy-unraveling-parties and all that shebang. People today buy into a whole host of inane supernatural bs. However the necronomicon never was a 'real' thing, but literally an invention by Lovecraft and his author-friends

I had the book when I was a teenager I had ordered it ,started reading it I started to hear scratching sounds coming from the inside of the walls kept having nightmares woke up with 3 scratches on my stomach ,one day I left it on the kitchen table my Dad picked it up said to my mom lets see what Arthur's reading he started reading and my Dad and Mom said a single long strand of black hair came from underneath the table wrapped itself around my Dad's hand. And tried pulling him under the table when it finally released him my Dad and Mom burnt it outside they said a loud scream came from the book when it caught flames .

He borrowed from Pre Islamic Middle Eastern myth, not Sumerian.
