Grotesque versions of the Necronomicon

The Necronomicon, or the Kitab Al-Azif, is a blasphemous tome of forbidden knowledge written by the mad Arab poet, Abdul Alhazred. It is an 800-pages grimoire coming inside of an old wooden box with some interesting woodcuts.

The terrible tome as bound in covers of dark brown human skin with the word "Necronomicon" stamped or engraved in gold leaf. The book itself is a huge folio tome with pages of cracking parchment illustrated with strange drawings and diagrams. The vellum-bound volume is written in strange script alphabet and other occultic scribbles.

The Necronomicon's spells are like sonic keys that can open portals to other dimensions where THE GREAT OLD ONES wait to take over the earth. Legend has it that some of the words can act as keys which open invisible doors, doors which cross the wall of sleep.

The book contains information about R'LYEH, the sunken city of CTHULHU in the Pacific Ocean. The R'lyehian incantations contains the real secret of eternal life, not for prolonged life and youth, but the ancient knowledge to bring the dead back to life.

And of course the book protect itself with its own power.

Lovecraft wrote from his dreams, and dreams are older than the hanging gardens of Babylon. Simply because he wrote of these 'fantasies', these 'mad delusions' under his own pen name does not mean that they are truly of his origin. Who knows for sure? Abdul Alzahred, which was a nickname lovecraft donned upon himself during childhood, could very well be a real man, trapped in the dreamworld, the outer dimensions, as all the Old Ones may be. Who knows but those who have been taken by the madness?

[grotesqueforms]

@TheIrishGeisha Scholars have suggested various solutions to the mad Arab's true name:

a) Abd al-Azrad, "the worshiper of the great devourer" (from abd = worshiper/ servant, al = the, Azrad = strangler/ devourer)

b) Abd Al-'Uzza, "servant of Al-Uzza" a pre-Muslim goddess

c) Abdallah Zahr-ad-Din, "Servant-of-God-Flower-of-the-­Faith" (given the mad Arab's religion, an unlikely name at best)

d) al-Hazred, a name which has only kept its meaning of "one-who-sees-what-shouldn't-b­e-seen" in Yemenite

[jeretical]

@grotesqueforms Also, 'Abd-al-Hazrat, Servant of the Saint, which has Sufi implications. There is a lot of Sufi influence in the Ahl-e-Haqq, as well as the related Kurdish sect of the Yezidis, who worship the Peacock Angel, Melek Taus, who is heavily associated with the Qur'aanic form of the devil, Iblees. A few Sufis have also considered Iblees the perfect unitarian for refusing to bow before Adam. I heavily recommend the essay "Iblis the Black Light" in Peter Lamborn Wilson's Sacred Drift.

@jeretical Thanks for the information, I appreciate.

Wonderful video. Mesmerizing music. I own several of the books presented. Interesting to say the least. In 2010, I modified the Nox Arcana picture for my original channel Lisa3679. It was too fantastic to pass up. I used to have an older version of the Necronomicon. Then, I threw it away, after Christians got a serious grip on my mind. Glad that's finally over. Now I can get back to a serious study of things far more interesting than mainstream religion ever was. Never did me any good anyway.

Sheesh, stop bringing that up. Abdul and I were leaving a shisha bar in Damascus at about mid-day, and I got the munchies. He was there, he was human, ate him, and yes I was probably invisible at the time. Call him up and ask him yourself. You people are so prejudiced against anyone who isn't from your own dimension.

hail the great cthulhu !!!

[darkblood626]

The Necronomicon? You can't be shown one!

While the libraries never will loan one!

But if it's so rare

And guarded with care

Why does every nut case seem to own one?

[Severe777]

Didn't Abdul have his Kundalini activated? I heard if you unlock your Kundalini Serpent you can see these "angels and demons" from other dimensions. And I know I read a story about Abdul unlocking his, I just don't know where.

Ah yes the Acient book of dark magic If im going to destroy the darkness i need to study the darkness

[SkorpStriker]

@anonymous1140 Sigh... Double comment. And FYI, it's fiction. There's nothing satanic about it. Look it up.

[C1010011010]

The images seem here make me tremble...not out of fear but because I have seen them before.

[GoongalaGoongala]

@Davidportilloprometh Yeah, in Lovecraft's writng there was no God or Satan or demons or angels. The beings in these stories that are referred to as Gods were done so for lack of a better word. They were really alien intellegences beyond our human understanding that defied the laws of physics.

[GoongalaGoongala]

@ganondorf59 Honestly, Lovecraft's vision of the universe and its inhabitants , to me anyway, seems far more likely than the theistic beliefs of the major religions of the world. In fact, Lovecraft's fiction is actually less ridiculous than the fiction of the Bible, Quaran, or any other holy book or scripture.
