About this ebook
Occult scholars explore how H. P. Lovecraft’s fictional book of magic became a cultural phenomenon and real-life legend in this revised and expanded volume.
What if a book existed that revealed the answers to all of life’s mysteries? For those who believe in it, The Necronomicon is exactly that—an eighth-century occult text of immense power. In. fact, The Necronomicon is a creation of science fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, who referred to the work in a number of stories and gave weight to its legend by inventing its own elaborate history.
In The Necronomicon Files two occult authorities explore all aspects of The Necronomicon, from its first appearance in Lovecraft’s fiction to its ongoing pervasive appearance in cult and occult circles. The authors show how Lovecraft’s literary circle added to the book’s legend by referring to it in their own writing. As people became convinced of the book’s existence, references to it in literature and film continue to grow.
This revised and expanded edition also examines the lengths people have undergone to find the Necronomicon, and the cottage industry that has arisen in response to the continuing demand for a book that does not exist. The Necronomicon Files illuminates the transformations of a modern myth, exposing a literary hoax while celebrating the romance of Necronomicon lore.

very dangerous. The successful construction of a functioning and working Gateway that is to one of the planets in our solar system . which God has appointed a guardian Angel with a double-edge flaming sword that turns in all for directions.that angel will come down on Earth and watch over your body. For 2 reasons,1" if a gates construction is correct and unique to it's planet. It opens a portal, between the heavens and hell. The Garden Angle keeps d demons from Crossing into our world and number tow (2) the guardian angel guards over the poor humans soulless body, providing protection and he's pissed off because he's not supposed to be there that Guardian Angel supposed to be up on that plant that God appointed him to keep Satan' off!! The Necromancers Soul, leaves his body, and rides on a silver line on the Golden Leaf ... when he gets to that planet, there is Satan with a beautiful gift of great power that he gives to. necromancer. No.. no book exist today that is not a reprint . very naive to think you can go to just any book store. The original Necromancer book IS inked with tha blood from The Unborn sacrificed child, The Binding, and cover to the book, fashioned and Bound in skin of an unborn child. this book is the most evil. makes demonology and Satanism look like Disneyland.
