Necronomicon
31st Anniversary Edition
by Simon

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.

Also known in some circles as the Simononicon-so named for the fact that there is no known author and it is introduced by a man known only as "Simon"-the Necronomicon has long been the focus of a great deal of controversy. Though some would contend otherwise, Simon maintains that the book works to identify the entities known as the "Great ones" of Lovecraft Mythos, linking them to gods and demons of ancient Sumeria.

The Necronomicon has been found to contain formulae 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. Thirty one years later the original designer of the 1977 edition and the original editor have joined forces to present a new, deluxe hardcover edition of the most feared, most reviled, and most desired occult book on the planet. They join together in the 31st Anniversary edition to provide for you not only the original Necronomicon texts but also:

• translations of spells found within it
• notes on pronunciation of the languages contained therein
• supplementary material to 777 (the work by Aleister Crowley)
• common words in Sumarian translated to English
• notes upon the effectiveness of banishing as it pertains to the entities mentioned within the Necronomicon

Filled with important notes for Necronomicon enthusiasts, this 218 page hard cover book is a wonderful celebration of the original.
