Necronomicon Spellbook

Here is what some people are saying about their experiences with the Necronomicon on some message boards:

* "the book levitates"

* "All of these things that are called "gods" in the Necronomicon were actually demons."

* "The book levitated itself in his room, so he locked it in a safe, put the safe in his bathroom and closed the bathroom door. When he awoke the next morning, the bathroom was about 15 degrees colder than the rest of the house and the safe was sitting open. When I took the book back home with me that night, after hearing these stories, I slept with it under my pillow and had the best night's sleep in my life."

* The Necronomicon is a fake.

First, let me dispel the myth that the gods invoked in the Necromicon Spellbook are demons. This is simply not true! The gods that are invoked are incarnations of Marduk, the Lord of Gods in ancient Sumer. His name means "bull calf of the sun". Marduk is described as being connected to the planet Jupiter, water, vegetation, judgment, and white magic. According to myth, Marduk defended the other gods against the diabolical monster Tiamat. After he had killed her, he brought order to the cosmos and created mankind. All other gods are considered to be manifestations of the supreme god Marduk.

Second, the Necronomicon as written by H.P. Lovecraft is an occult fantasy, written by the famous writer of horror stories. It became such a phenomenon that countless other books were written in an apparent attempt to cash in on it's popularity. The Necronomicon Spellbook is not the same book as the one written by H.P. Lovecraft. While it's origins are also suspect, the magick contained therein is proved to be a workable magick system that is based on ancient Sumerian magick. In the ebook version that I offer for sale, I include the actual cuneiform translations of the fifty names of Marduk from the sacred text to illustrate this fact. Whether or not it works is up to the individual conjuror. As the saying goes: it works if you work it!

Regarding he strange goings-ons... Personally, I have never seen a book levitate (though I have seen a cassette tape do so - but that's another discussion entirely). But I believe that a large number of people believe they have experienced such a phenomenon. On the other hand, something interesting did happen when I first began transcribing the enhanced ebook version of the Necronomicon Spellbook. It was enough to make me believe that there is some kind of power associated with this ancient text.

Marduk is spelled AMAR.UTU in Sumerian, meaning "the calf of Utu", "the young bull of the Sun", or "bull calf of the sun". Marduk was the Babylonian name of a late-generation god from ancient Mesopotamia and patron deity of the city of Babylon. He was honored as king of the gods and quite specifically associated with the planet Jupiter. Marduk was also connected with water, vegetation, judgment, and white magic. He was considered the son of Ea (Sumerian Enki) and the heir of An. The Babylonian creation myth, called the Enûma Elish, explains how Marduk seized power. It tells the story of Marduk's birth, heroic deeds, and becoming the ruler of the gods. This document also included the fifty names of Marduk. In Enûma Elish, Marduk battles the dragon goddess of primordial chaos Taimat and her evil subordinates. Taking the form of a giant serpent, Tiamat is fights Marduk but is ultimately defeated by him and his impressive arsenal of weapons. After killing his enemy, Marduk takes the Tablet of Destinies and assumes his new position as leader of the Gods. Marduk divides Tiamat's corpse into two sections, the upper half becoming the sky and the lower half, the earth. From his blood and bone, Marduk creates humanity. Under his reign humans were created to bear the burdens of life so the gods could be at leisure.

THESE SPELLS were originally worked by the mystics of ancient Sumeria, a mysterious civilization that flourished in what is now known as Iraq over two thousand years before the birth of Christ. No one knows who the Sumerians really were, or where they came from. Some say they came from the darkest parts of Africa, where they were a nomadic people. Then in less than a hundred years, they became a full-fledged agricultural society with cities and farms and beautiful temples that reached to the skies. They gave credit for their awakening to a strange being who came to them from the sea, wearing a diving suit, and who taught them writing, science, agriculture, architecture and, of course, magick. Almost overnight, the Sumerians became a people. Working the system of the NECRONOMICON in the
seven-storied temples, they became the most cultured and powerful force in the Middle East. It is their system of magick that has been retained in the NECRONOMICON. Now, after literally thousands of years, this secret mystical system for winning power, love, and success is made available to everyone.

What does the word Necronomicon mean?

According to Clore (2007), the word Necronomicon can be broken down as follows: : nekros, dead person, corpse; : nemein, to consider; and - : -ikon, an adjectival suffix equivalent to Latin -icum, English -ic, -ical. From this last it can be seen that the strained interpretation of -icon as eikôn, picture, image = "book", is totally unnecessary. Joshi thus gives the Greek title the following rendering: "Book Concerning the Dead".

What does Al- Azif really mean?

In his "History of the Necronomicon" Lovecraft states: "Original title Al Azif - azif being the word used by Arabs to designate that nocturnal sound (made by insects) suppos'd to be the howling of daemons." The name applied to those strange night noises (of insects) which the Arabs attribute to the howling of daemons.

"The Hound" contains several references to the body of lore known as the Cthulhu Mythos that Lovecraft shared with other horror writers. Most notably, it marks the first appearance of one of Lovecraft's most famous literary creations--the forbidden book known as the Necronomicon.

The story focuses around the narrator and his friend St. John, who have a sickly interest in robbing graves. They constantly defile crypts and often keep souvenirs of their nocturnal expeditions. Since they reside in the same house, they have the opportunity to set up a sort of morbid museum in their basement. Using the objects they collect from the various graves they have robbed, they organize the private exhibition. The collection consists of headstones, preserved bodies, skulls and several heads in different phases of decomposition. It also included statues, frightful paintings and a locked portfolio, bound in tanned human skin.

One day, they learn of a particular grave, which sparks a profound interest in them. They learn of an old grave in a Holland cemetery, which holds a legendary tomb raider within. One who was said to have stolen, many years ago, a "potent thing from a mighty sepulcher". One night, they travel to this old cemetery where the ancient "ghoul" was buried. The thought of exhuming the final resting place of a former grave robber is irresistibly appealing to them. That, and the fact that the body had been buried several centuries before, drives them to travel such long distances to reach the site. Upon reaching the old cemetery, they notice the distant baying of a giant hound. They ignore it and begin their excavation. After a while of digging they hit a solid object in the ground. They clear the last of the dirt from it and happen upon a strange and elaborately made coffin. Upon opening the casket, they are surprised to find that after several centuries the remains are still intact. Several places, on the skeletal remains, seem torn and shattered. As if attacked by a wild animal. Yet the whole of the skeleton is still completely distinguishable. At that moment, they notice a jade amulet hanging from the "ghoul's" neck. They examine it and after a bit of observation they recognize the amulet as one mentioned in "the forbidden Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred". They immediately know they must have the amulet at all cost. They remove it from the skeleton and flee to their homes. As they do, they notice once again the continuous sound of a hound's baying in the distance.

Even as they return home, strange sounds can be heard in their house, including the distant sound of the hound. This culminates into his friend being violently attacked and killed by an unknown creature, which the narrator claims the amulet had brought unto him. He decides that he must return the amulet to its rightful owner but it is stolen from him before he can return it. The next morning he reads, in the morning paper, of a band of thieves dismembered by an unknown creature. Growing mad, he returns to the churchyard and excavates the coffin out of the earth once more, only to find the skeleton within covered in caked blood and bits of flesh and hair. The amulet is once again hanging from the corpse's neck. Suddenly, the skeleton begins howling the same type of howling that had plagued him since he left. The narrator flees the graveyard and it is then revealed that the story is a suicide note. The narrator states that he intends to kill himself with a revolver. He believes this to be his only refuge from the crawling horror, which grows within him.

A demon is a supernatural being that is generally described as a malevolent spirit. In Christian terms, a demon is generally understood as a fallen angel, formerly of God. A demon is frequently depicted as a force that may be conjured and insecurely controlled.

The Greek concept of a daemon appears in the works of ancient writers such as Plato, but without the negative connotations seen in the translated Hebrew bible and New Testament. Rather, the term refers to a spiritual force, sans the malevolence. The concept of demons is important in many religious and occult traditions, and they are feared largely because of their ability to possess living things.

In Chaldean mythology the seven evil deities were known as shedu, meaning storm-demons.

The sedu was the male counterpart to the beneficent protective female deity (lama). The bull man helps people fight evil and chaos. He holds the gates of dawn open for the sun god Shamash and supports the sun disc. He is often shown on Cylinder Seals.

In art they were depicted as winged bulls and lions; both forms had the heads of human males.

To protect houses the shedu were engraved in clay tablets, which were buried under the door's threshold. Collosal statues stood at the entrance of cities and palaces as protective genii and gatekeepers.

At Ur, for example, clay figures were found in boxes of burnt brick placed under the floor against the walls: these boxes, which were provided with lids, had one end open, facing into the centre of the room, which the figures thereby watched and guarded. These particular figures at Ur, which in some cases had been given a lime-wash and then painted in black and red, were of various kinds.

The ritual with which such figures were made and set up for the protection of a house has been largely recovered. It began with an enumeration of possible causes of the misfortune of the house: Whether it be an evil ghost or an evil spirit or an evil spook or an evil ghoul or an evil god or an evil Croucher or a Lamashtu a Labasu or the Seizer or Lilu, Lilith or a Handmaid of Lilu, or the Hand-of-a-god or the Hand-of-a-goddess, or Epidemic, . . . or Plague-demon or the Bad-luck-demon [literally'He who offers the bad things of life'] or Death or Heat or Fever of the Killer, . . . whatever there may be . . . which does harm, to a man, in a man's house....

Instructions were then given for the preparation of the figures of wood and clay to protect the house: You shall sprinkle holy water; set up a cult-stand; offer lambs for sacrifice and bring the hams, lard and roast meat; scatter dates and fine meal; set out a confection of honey and butter; set up a censer with juniper-wood; pour out a wine-libation; do obeisance, purify the censer, torch, holy-water vessel and tamarisk wood, and speak thus before Shamash:

Incantation: 'O Shamash, great lord, exalted judge, the one who supervises the regions of heaven and earth, the one who directs aright the dead and the living, You are . . . the holy tamarisk, the pure wood for the form of the statues which I shall cause to stand in the house of so-and-so for the overthrow of evil beings. I have bowed before you. May the thing which I do be completely efficacious.'

The tamarisk, which had thus been assimilated to the Sun-god, now had to be cut up in the approved manner. The rubric stated: You shall say this; then nick the tamarisk with an axe of gold and a saw of silver, and cut it up with a qulmu-tool.

Various groups of figures were then to be made from the wood, appropriately dressed and set up, and after this the incantation special to them was to be recited. The next morning at sunrise the figures were put, together with the censer, torch, holy-water vessel, seven grains of silver, seven of gold, and two precious stones, into a container called a kullatu. A libation was made to the Sun-god and the incantation 'kullatu, kullatu' recited.

Further sets of statues were now made, this time of clay: since modelled clay lasts far longer in moist soil than carved wood, it is this type of figure which has been found at Ur and elsewhere. Many of these clay figures must originally have borne inscribed upon them magical formulae, as the texts suggest. Thus with reference to clay figures of this type in the form of dogs the text reads:

Name of one dog coated with gypsum: 'Don't stop to think; open your mouth!'.
Name of the second one: 'Don't stop to think, bite!'.
Name of one black dog: 'Consume his life!'.
Name of the other one: 'Loud of bark'.
Name of one red dog: 'Driver away of the asakku-demon'.
Name of the other one: 'Catcher of the hostile one'.
Name of one green dog: 'The one who puts the enemy to flight'.
Name of the other one: 'Biter of his foe'.
Name of one spotted dog: 'Introducer of the beneficent ones'.
Name of the other one: 'Expeller of the malevolent ones'.

In the ritual for the purification of a house, all the statues, both of wood and clay, were now to be taken to the river bank and placed facing east; there, at sunrise, another ceremony of sacrifice and libation was made to the Sun-god and the statues then taken back to the house. At the house followed yet further sacrifices and libations, this time to Marduk, to the three great gods, to the god and goddess of the house, to the protecting spirit (shedu) of the house, and to the Queen of the Underworld under one of her many titles. Crucial points of the house - corners, doorways, roofs and air vents - were then touched with various substances and purified, the purifying substances afterwards being brought out to the gate. The evil had now been temporarily removed, and it was for the statues to shoulder their task of keeping the house spiritually clean. Sacrifices were therefore now made to the statues and incantations recited, informing them that on account of some evil things which stand and call with purpose in the house of so-and-so the son of so-and-so. Let anything malignant, anything not good, be removed from you a distance of 3600 double-hour journey.

The purification ritual outlined was a lengthy, complicated and no doubt expensive affair, but was efficacious against all types of evil influence, presumably for an indefinite period. A limited range of evil influences could be removed by simpler means, but the period of security guaranteed was limited to one year....

THIS is the Book of the Conjuration of the Watcher, for formulae as I received them from the Scribe of ENKI, Our Master and Lord of All Magick. Great care must be taken that this untamed Spirit does not rise up against the Priest, and for that reason a preliminary sacrifice must be made in a clean and new bowl with the appropriate sigils inscribed thereupon, being the three grey carven signs of the Rock of my initiation, which are:



They must be engraved upon the bowl with a fine stylus, or painted thereon with dark ink. The sacrifice must be new bread, pine resin, and the grass Olieribos. These must be burned in the new bowl, and the Sword of the Watcher, with his Sigil engraved thereupon, at hand, for he will inhabit such at the time of the Calling of the Watcher and will depart when he is given license to depart.

The Watcher comes from a Race different from that of Men and yet different from that of the Gods, and it is said that he was with KINGU and his hordes at the time of the War between the Worlds, but was dissatisfied and did cleave unto the Armies of Lord MARDUK.

Wherefore it is wise to conjure It in the Names of the Three Great Watchers Who existed before the Confrontation from whose borne the Watcher and His Race ultimately derive, and those Three are ANU, ENLIL, and Master ENKI of the Magick Waters. And for this reason They are sometimes called the Three Watchers, MASS SSARATI and the Watcher MASS SSARATU, or KIA MASS SSARATU.

And the Watcher appears sometimes as a great and fierce Dog, who prowls about the Gate or the Circle, frightening away the idimmu who forever lurk about the barriers, waiting for sacrifice. And the Watcher aloft the Sword of Flames, and even the Elder Gods are awed thereby. And sometimes the Watcher appears as a Man in A long Robe, shaven, with eyes that never lose their stare. And the Lord of the Watchers dwells, it is said, among the Wastes of the IGIGI, and only Watches and never raises the Sword or fights the idimmi, save when the Covenant is invoked by none less than the Elder Gods in their Council, like unto the Seven Glorious APHKHALLU.

And sometimes the Watcher appears as the Enemy, ready to devour the Priest who has erred in the incantations, or omitted the sacrifice, or acted in defiance of the Covenant, for which acts the very Elder Gods cannot forbid that silent Race from exacting its toll. And it is said that some of that Race lie waiting for the Ancient Ones to once more rule the Cosmos, that they may be given the right hand of honour, and that such as these are lawless. This is what is said.

The Preliminary Invocation

When the time has come to summon the Watcher the first time, the place of thy calling must be clean, and a double circle of flour drawn about thee. And there should be no altar, but only the new Bowl with the three carven signs on it. And the Conjuration of the Fire should be made, and the sacrifices heaped thereupon, into the burning bowl. And the Bowl is now called AGA MASS SSARATU, and to be used for no other purpose, save to invoke the Watcher.

And the bowl must be lain between the Circles, facing the Northeast. And thy vestments should be black, and thy cap black. And the Sword must be at hand, but not yet in the ground. And it must be the Darkest Hour of the Night. And there must be no light, save for the AGA MASS SSARATU. And the Conjuration of the Three must be made, thus:

ISS MASS SSARATI SHA MUSHI LIPSHURU RUXISHA LIMNUTI!
IZIZANIMMA ILANI RABUTI SHIMA YA DABABI!
DINA DINA ALAKTI LIMDA!
ALSI KU NUSHI ILANI MUSHITI!
IA MASS SSARATI ISS MASS SSARATI BA IDS MASS SSARATU!

And this special Conjuration may be made at any time the Priest feels he is in danger, whether his life or his spirit, and the Three Watchers and the One Watcher will rush to his aid.

This being said, at the words IDS MASS SSARATU the Sword must be thrust into the ground behind the AGA MASS SSARATU with force. And the Watcher will appear for the instructions to be made by the Priest.

The Normal Invocation of the Watcher

This Invocation is to be made during the course of any Ceremony when it is necessary to summon the Watcher to preside over the outer precincts of the Circle or Gate. The Sword is to be thrust into the ground as before, in the Northeast section, but the AGA MASS SSARATU is not necessary lest thou hast not made sacrifice to thine Watcher in the space of one moon in which case it is necessary to sacrifice to it anew whether in that Ceremony or at some other, earlier.

Raise the Copper Dagger of INANNA of the Calling, and declaim the Invocation in a clear voice, be it loud or soft:

IA MASS SSARATU!
I conjure Thee by the Fire of GIRRA
The Veils of Sunken Varloorni,
And by the Lights of SHAMMASH.
I call Thee here, before me, in visible shadow
In beholdable Form, to Watch and Protect this Sacred
Circle,this Holy Gate of (N.)
May He of the Name Unspeakable, the Number Unknowable,
Whom no man hath seen at any time,
Whom no geometer measureth,
Whom no wizard hath ever called
CALL THEE HERE NOW!
Rise up, by ANU I summon Thee!
Rise up, by ENLIL I summon Thee!
Rise up, by ENKI I summon Thee!
Cease to be the Sleeper of EGURRA.
Cease to lie unwaking beneath the Mountains of KUR.
Rise up, from the pits of ancient holocausts!
Rise up, from the old Abyss of NARR MARRATU!
Come, by ANU!
Come, by ENLIL!
Come, by ENKI!
In the Name of the Covenant, Come and Rise up before me!
IA MASS SSARATU! IA MASS SSARATU! IA MASS
SSARATU ZI KIA KANPA!
BARRGOLOMOLONETH KIA!
SHTAH!

At this point, the Watcher will surely come and stand outside the Gate or Circle until such time as he is given the license to depart by striking of the Priest's left hand on the hilt of the Sword, while pronouncing the formula BARRA MASS SSARATU! BARRA!

Thou mayest not depart thine sacred precincts until the Watcher has been given this license, else he will devour thee. Such are the laws.

And he care not what he Watches, only that he obey the Priest.
