The mighty powers invoked by this eldritch tome are really long-forgotten psychic abilities, able to affect the most basic needs and desires, including Love, Wealth, Peace of Mind, and Protection Agains Enemies. But now comes a guide that enables anyone to pick up the book and use its ineluctable power "without fear or risk" according to editor Simon.
More Reviews and RecommendationsSimon is a student of magic, occultism, and religion since the mid-1960s and the editor of the Necronomicon, Simon was a frequent lecturer for the famed Warlock Shop in Brooklyn and the Magickal Childe Bookstore in Manhattan for more than ten years before his sudden disappearance in 1984, speaking on topics as diverse as religion and politics, occultism and fascism, ceremonial magic, demonolatry, the Tarot, the Qabala, and Asian occult systems. He also conducted private classes for the New York City OTO during this period, with a focus on Enochian magic, "Owandering bishops," and Afro-Caribbean occult beliefs. An ordained priest of an Eastern Orthodox church, Simon has appeared on television and radio discussing such topics as exorcism, satanism, and Nazism. The media events he organized in the 1970s and 1980s with rock bands, ritual performances, and celebrity appearances helped to promote the "occult renaissance" in New York City. After decades of study in European, Asian, and Latin American cult centers, this book marks his first public appearance in more than twenty years.

March 29, 2009: I've read all of the editor's books on the matter of the Necronomicon and this one seems the most practical for the inexperianced or just curious. Haven't tried any of the spells myself but they seem quite workable. Perhaps a background in the Necronomicon would help to understand the exact details of what could happen while using this book. I've found it not quite as threatening though and enjoyable to quickly read and understand.

March 28, 2003: I read the Necronomicon some years ago dabbling in it's Magik. The incantations I read in haste only to have my mind devoured by it's power. This book is real! The madness is real! Please fully understand the spirits you are invoking and know beforehand what you ask of them. DO NOT just read the spells outside the circle for you will release them unto the world through yourself. Know your protection symbols within the circle and use them correctly. I have invoked all powers of the Earth and I am very close to releasing him that we should not name. Marduk, keeper of the Eastern gate, do not mess with him for he is the root of the madness within! Both Jimmy Page and Ozzy Osbourne have used this Magik and as you know, it works! I think Ozzy messed up a little with his, his mind is going fast!
