I hate summer for that reason too my eyes get sore and itchy if I didn't get hayfeaver I'd enjoy my summers.
Any book is dangerous... when you put it in a pillowcase and start swinging.
Lmao 👍
Daniel Christy I actually wheezed when I read this
Lmmfaoooooo
Not spot the dog.
Daniel what happens?!!!😳😳😳😳😳
If the book does exist, it’s the sort of book that British Royal family would own, there’s absolutely no doubts about that.
I think we can all collectively agree the British Royals have an original signed copy of this
@@mimoza7514 you ain’t wrong either mimi I know a story about the painter Walter Sirkit if that’s his name but it’s best I can do mini, but anyway he done a painting and it was later a little bit controversial I think, he did 5 of these certain paintings one of them is in the art museum apparently and the painting has a as man coming up behind some in a black cloak at the time of the Jack the Ripper times or not long after. One of the other 4 was owned by the queen mother that’s true as well mimi, at the time he wasn’t a suspect but many years later someone called Praticia Cornwell linked to the forensic laboratory forensically linked the painter to Jack the Ripper, she wrote a really good book about it that’s where I found out about a certain painting that he did and like I said the museum has one and so did the Queen mother. One of the top people in Scotland Yard said if it had been today he would certainly be a suspect and he told his grandson don’t ever tell anyone that I was your grandfather for what reason he didn’t know I don’t think but there’s a documentary about him on RUclips I watched it quite a long time ago, take care of yourself mimi but what’s came out about the royals since in my opinion since they killed our beautiful prncess lady Diana isn’t nice at all I’ve seen documentaries and in my opinion there’s absolutely no smoke without fire, I don’t believe everything I hear not at all mimi but they wouldn’t even come out onto the balcony until the crowds booed them so that told us exactly what they thought of the poor woman, sorry to bring that up but before that happened mimi I tell you the truth, I wouldn’t ever hear a bad word about the queen never would I but now I haven’t got a good word to say about the queen and I just think they are leaches leaching off the people, I think Britain and everywhere else the monarchy should be a thing of the past, gone and gone for ever let them earn a days wage like the rest of us have to to get by. That’s my thoughts on that lot haha take care of yourself mimi wherever you are in the world from Stevie boy in Britain
@@mrfugazi6713 This is really interesting to hear tho, thank you for replying and sharing ur opinion. There's definitely something fishy ab all the rich families around the world and the monarchies. Also I wholeheartedly believe princess diana died by the hands of her own mother and i doubt there's anyone that could ever change my mind. I'll try to research about that documentary you mentioned and once again thank u for engaging in the conversation, it's nice to hear different opinions from people around the world about this and especially coming from you, a citizen of Britain urself.
@@mimoza7514 it no problem whatsoever mimi I’m just glad that you found it interesting that’s all, it’s true as well I think his name was Silkert or something very close to that word and hopefully you won’t find it hard to get the documentary up and you can watch it and what part of the world are you mimi if you don’t mind me asking you, as you know I’m I’m in Britain and before what happened to our beautiful princess Diana I wouldn’t of heard a bad word said about our queen but since what they did to her I now haven’t got a good word to say about her unbelievable really to go from one to the other without a second thought mimi and I never thought I would be against the queen but I am now and I’ve never liked prince Charles you there’s always been something not right about him and he proved that by kicking a beautiful woman like Diana out of his bed for a old bag like camilla or whatever her name is, anyway mimi what country are you from if you don’t mind me asking you that is, you take care of yourself if it’s possible and look into the painter I mentioned you will find it quite interesting i think and bye the way mimi you said that you think Diana was killed by the hands of her mother do you mean her own personal mother or her mother in law the queen of England either way it’s not a problem so no worries which ever way you meant it mimi I’m just asking you that’s all, just one other thing mimi, I also believe that the worlds richest people and monarchies around the world are actually looking for a planet that they can run off to just before this planet is destroyed by their actions and not ours that’s why they want to construct a new city on Mars the but they would have no qualms with abandoning us here on planet earth and they’ll be okay with that mimi the bastards, well take care mimi from Stevie boy.
Naa, I actually think they have a copy of it, and that the original is sitting in the vatican under lock and key
The easiest way to wipe away truth
Is to make it appear that of maddness.
Instantly the truth is erased
Are you insane? That's absolutely crazy!! Your maddd!!!!

So be it. What the world counts as foolishness, I know to be truth.
@Elektra Delphi Life is different in all our familiar cultures.
Madness is often used as sad tragic comedy or tragic event circumstances.
Meaning therefore a broad label , or any label which persecutes one outsider to the inclusion in social groups.
The Necronomicon has a cameo in the Stephen King multiverse. In "The Eyes of the Dragon" the evil Flagg has a grimoire that he reads from frequently (but only a bit at a time, to read too long is to risk madness.) The book is not named, but King does mention that it was written by the wizard Alhazred.
so does the yellow king. he even was the antagonist of the miniseries 'the stand'.
Lovecraft was one of the first authors to set his universe in the public domain. A lot of other authors in his day and later copied or picked stuff from his Mythos - which gives it a nice feeling of 'could be real' just because every and anyone puts Lovecraftian eastereggs in their movies, books or games.
Hell - I use references in my D&D games just because people notice them.
King as far as I know is a Lovecraft-fan and has set many of his stories in the same-ish universe.
The Evil-Dead-series references Lovecraft
Even... G.I. Joe (the animated series) uses Lovecrafts Serpent-People as masterminds behind the bad guys...
No, we all have a cameo here in hell
The evil dead was about this book

True horror.
Fun Fact: A book published by a Swedish artist, H.R. Giger in 1977, was a collection of images inspired by the story of The Necronomicon, and that book was given to the great Ridley Scott, who then went on to create the first Alien movie. He hired H.R. Giger to help design and create the artwork and concept designs for the movie. H.R. Giger was a huge drive and major contributor to the dark, yet beautiful, surreal art and look of the movie, Alien. And all that, was originally based off, or inspired by, the idea of The Necronomicon, from H.P. Lovecraft's stories.
Giger was a Swiss, not a Swede!
Why do people always confuse Swiss with Swedish? I like Sweden but it can get frustrating.

Lovecraft changed what horror is and its incredible how well he put psychological terror and horror into his book despite having never learned the workings of a human mind. He knew his craft just so impressively well
Then he didn’t do it on purpose genius

Just waiting for someone to bring out a Lovecraft-themed recipe book called the Necro-omnomomicon.
There's one you can preorder titled The Necronomnomnom: Recipes and Rites from H. P. Lovecraft. Since it has yet to be released, caveats apply. (No slight to the publishers intended, it's just that I can't personally vouch for it.)
The what now?! X)
Already did.
I imagine octopus would be on the menu.
There is a recipe book called the veganomicon. I've not read it but I chuckle at the idea of vegan food being an eldritch abomination.
Was screwing around with a paperback version of the Necromonicom around 1988, working the graveyard shift in the administrative building of a hospital in Topeka Ks. Which is notorious for having the first 3 numbers of its zip code being 666. I was reading various incarnations from the book. All of a sudden we had a massive power failure in the building. The guy I was working with got spooked and ordered me to “get that book outta here”.
Don't forget about the murders at Spangles right up the street. Still open case. One of the creepiest for sure.
@@TheSpelledMilk is there a story about this murder on RUclips?
Wbere did you put the book...
Damnn,

After looking up more about the Necronomicon, I think it's name as the "book of the dead" applies quite accurately outside of any necromantic rituals within it's page, as the book itself does often lead to one's death and many have died using it's knowledge and power.
I lost 3 close friends after they conducted a ritual and recited incantations from the necronomicon. Things got weird at first and then down right scary. After high-school we all went our separate ways yet still loved in the same town. One by one over the years, all three of my friends died. One was obese and deeply depressed and became a shit in. He died of heart failure. The other had a blood disorder and had to have transfusions every month to stay alive. He died from AIDS. The most recent was from gun shot wounds and no suspect or weapon found. All 3 of them payed the price. I miss them dearly, but ever since they had that ritual I kind of knew something would happen to them.
I heard this book is hidden in the restricted section of the Hogwart's library.
Cease your investigations.
Shhhhh
it is not because Hogwarts is a fictional place
Actually it's held in the restrictet section of the Arkham University Library. Unless some cursed Whatley family member tried to steal it... again.
Vatican basement.
The Necronomicon is no scarier than a quantum mechanics textbook :)
Right
yeah the necronomican book is real ediot
don't fuck with evil books like this. one it's not a joke
Slightly less strange too.
@Dirk Pitt No one has that small of a pecker besides you
Back in the glory days of D&D, our DM decided to run a campaign around the Necronomicon. Our group had to a) learn of it, b) locate it and c) destroy it. One slight flaw in the planned adventure. My character was an evil high priest. Needless to say the book ended up in my temple library.
Lol nice
I used it for wet naps.
Sad, but still not as gay and corny as the Hogwarts comments

Since we have all these "universe" movies now, I'd love to see a series start up about Lovecrafts Universe.
I think that's what underwater tried to do
Well at least we got a "Reanimator" movie...
Maybe it can be a anthology like Tales from the hood, (the first one, not the shitty ones) where they can cast someone to play as HP lovecraft and have him tell us tales of people encountering his horrors.
@@petepeterson5917 I like that idea
I think the majority of Lovecraft's horror is created by the lack of illustrations and vague descriptions. It makes your imagination make up your own horror image that a series could never reach
Bound in flesh and inked in blood, it was never meant for the living...

I love how lovecraft was such a amazing writer that people mistake it for real mythology
lovecraft wasnt that great of a writer. he just had a great concept
You may or may not be aware of the warning in the front pages that specifically states “The NECRONOMICON'S magic is nothing to fool with and it may expose you to psychological forces with which you cannot cope. Remember if you fool with the incantations, you were warned!” Do practicing members of the occult use this book simply for the sake of entertainment & rhetoric?
Perception is reality..It’s available to the masses because the general public is too dense to perceive the book as being anything other than fiction. You either see what’s in front of you & genuinely follow the steps, or you don’t. What you see in the mirror is what your subconscious wants you to see (Freddy Krueger effect) ie if your thinking a scary demons going to pop out, then that’s what will happen! But if your thinking of ole uncle joe, or aunt Suzy, then that’s who’s going to come through! Or nothing can happen, if that’s what you wish. It’s about your will & how strongly you can focus it & project it inward/outward. People just don’t want to accept their own powers because power means responsibility & active participation..
Dr. Krieger Again, perception is reality..
@@Joshua-ce7ix All you are doing is asserting your hypothesis without a lick of evidence. If perception is reality, then madmen would be the most dangerous beings on the planet, gambling addicts that have delusions of grandeur would be the richest men on the planet and Elon musk would've gotten us to Titan already. Perception and expectations are not reality. They are separate.

DONOT PLAY WITH DARK SPIRITS, REBUKE THEM IN JESUS NAME
In the early 1980s I was personally acquainted with a group of people who were involved in the publication of the Simon Necronomicon. These were a group of occultists who followed Aleister Crowley's teachings. In the 70's they would have gatherings where they would get blasted out of their skulls on drugs and booze, and improvise occult rituals. The rule among them was that the last one to leave the party would collect the notes from the ritual and destroy them. Simon was among them, and he broke the rule; he kept the notes from these rituals and used them as the basis for his Necronomicon.
Later, these same people were involved in the testing of these rituals shorty before the book's publication. They warned me most earnestly not to play with what was in the book (I never did). I also knew a few people who experimented with the book after its publication. They suffered all kinds of unwanted side effects, including psychosis.
I have no explanation for this; I merely report what I saw and heard.
@@AverageAmerican The ones I was closest to eventually abandoned occultism, and became Deacons in the Celtic Church. Most I lost touch with; no idea what happened to them.
I abandoned occultism decades ago.
@OldSchool To their credit, I've never seen human sacrifice or child abuse among the people I was associated with. They would never have tolerated such things.

There are actually approximately six books made of human skin that are much older than Lovecraft so it's possible he either owned one, or truly did dream of it
In Lovecraft's story The mountains of madness he described the ones who were here before humanity as being incredibly ancient and having come from another planet.

@Kirby Tv that’s a bit more complicated than just reading. Those who you speak of have goals, ambitions. They used the Bible as a tool to further their cause. The evil comes from them not the book. They didn’t become evil from reading the Bible
Wow this thread. This is a quote from the Mummy
@@RedBeardNP haha, I’m glad someone recognized
I am from Yemen, and all I know from the old local story that Abdullah Al-Hadhard was a poet as well, but he was always "telling about his strange dreams and people in his city Sana'a called him the crazy poet
one time he said that he wanted to travel on foot "alone to learn about new things in this world, but his relatives said that he told them that something in his dreams invited him to go to the desert."
And the story says that in the desert he met the devil
He told him about the beginning and the formation of the earth and that demons were the ones who inhabited it before all creatures, and after that God created the water and the creatures in it and withheld demons from it so that Adam and his descendants would dwell in it.
Then the Devil taught Abdullah their symbols and how he could bring them and seek help from them and in exchange for their help, they always made him eat spoiled food, dead animal blood, and strange things, and when he decided to stop this work, Devil killed him.
I can totally relate to Abdullah. I have been haunted in the same way and I now realized Satan has been calling me to the desert or to run away from home for awhile now. I always wanted to spend a day or 2 in the middle of nowhere since I was pretty spiritually stressed and I also written out alot of what I seen. I’ve seen Satan and heard Gods voice in my dreams. I also have weird dreams and among them are being surrounded by disgusting food, being haunted by the dead and also being surrounded by water. I have seen that the demons who haunt me live in a water realm and they are in fact very alluring and vampiric.

Hello. Just wanted to say that I purchased the necrononomicon years ago and find that this book is most definitely an asset to any great occult library!!! Of, course my occult library was stolen years ago along with that particular book. I hope one day to re- build my personal library.Necron is definitely not for the faint of heart!!!
You can find a lot of them including this one on dark books. Org. RUclips keeps deleting my comment because of the link. They are pdf copies though.
I've often wondered how the spiritual world, the mystical world, cryptid world and the extraterrestrial world cross over with each other.
Yeah what happens when aliens descend on a house in the night, bent on human abduction. Only to find the otherwise empty house is home to ghosts and demons.
Hmmm... I would argue in the head of a (probably stoned) overimaginative woo-believer or woo-peddler relatively often...
You’d have to cross over through a stargate or just take some DMT
They're all the same thing
Maybe extraterrestrial are life forms in our own universe who follow the same laws of physics and these “mystical” creatures are from another universe who have different laws of physics and have abilities that are like superpowers on our universe. Their abilities also allows limited access to our universe which are seen as spiritual or demonic encounters.

The part you said "hidden in plain sight" made me want to share my personal story with the Necronomicon. I was at a book store, my knowledge of the occult was very small at the time, mostly studied only mythology. And I was in the sci-fi section & the occult books were near by. Browsing them, I noticed on the top most shelf was a small book with its bookend pointed towards to the wall. Hiding the title of the book.
I stand on my tip toes and pull out the Necronomicon. Wonder & curiosity flooded my body. I paged through the book, sigils, a language I didn't know. It was less than $10 so I bought it. I had only heard of it from watching the Evil Dead & figured it was fiction.
I didn't read it till following year & it felt TURN BACK NOW like in the series of unfortunate events & house of leaves. I love horror & mystery & the book was fascinating. The idea of an ancient idol statue with a cult was interesting to me. I recognized the sumerian dieties, and had an interest in Inanna before.
One day I left the book face up at the end of the bed. I have vivid dreams, and am a spiritual person (mostly worked with the norse gods then). I awoke that night, my bed surrounded by cloaked figured of different sizes. I wasn't scared, it felt like a meeting. I look over to the one standing next to me & said hello? It replied back in a voice like the nazgul from Lord of the Rings.. Hello. I froze. Decided I didn't want to talk to this being. Kinda wish I did looking back! So I called in Thor & with a crack of lighting the beings were cleared from my space.
I did finish the book & never left it out again. I do think the sigil on the cover is a doorway. The book talked doorways often. I know the book is regarded as fiction but I do respect the book & the dead. I don't fear those beings, I have had interactions with dark entities & they didn't try to hurt me or scare me or take my energy like those would. Ancient beings of the underworld. I don't want to go to the underworld so I'll just keep the book on my shelf 😉

It's as real as the reader wants it to be.
How does that work?
For the Necronomicon's many incantations the reader has to believe in the power of the words. The incantations are to read out loud. Some prefer to be very ceremonial such as drawing the pentagram. On the ground and lighting candles at all 5 points as well as ceremonial robes with hoods. That is for not only the theatrics, but also to encourage the reader of the incantations to put his or her soul into it. Nobody has to believe me, but some of my friends from the crowd I hung out with decided that the 3 of them were going to try and summon a watcher spirit and for protection against anyone who opposed us. I was a bystander along with the others in my crowd. As my friend read the inventions a micro burst hit the area which is an annual weather event here in New Mexico during the monsoon season from July through September. My friend performed the ceremony of the Necronomicon at the end of March. That means that a microburst happening in March is very rare to non existant. As he read the wind was blowing and sky turned black. Thunder and lightning was so intense that it lit up the area with almost blinding light. The thunder was intense like a hammer hitting and anvil. The incantation was spoken and we all ran in the house as quater size hail came down. This storm kinda hit us and stuck around through the night. The power went out and our group of 13 kids were huddled up and scared. The storm sounded like it was done about midnight and the was an eerie silence. The power was still out and we had candles and flashlights. The dim light came from the kitchen where we put the candles. One of my friends who was once a practicing satanist stood in front of the window looking outing the huge yard full of pecan trees and I will never forget this. A huge bolt of lightning like sheet lightning was so intensely bright it was like it xrayed him and I could see his skeleton and some of his internal organs. Then the thunder was so loud it was defining. Shawn wasn't standing anymore and no longer in the room. We looked around the house for him and lightning hit again. One of my friends who happened to be looking out the window saw our xrayed friend out in the front yard with his hands raised yelling in nomani satanis. Latin for in the name of satan. Thunder rumbled hard and more lightning and our satanic friend was gone. After that night we were not the same. Our friend who disappeared showed up naked up on the Apache reservation shaking and wouldn't talk. He eventually got passed that. All of us stayed in touch. We went on to graduate high school together and some didn't. We became cops (me), catholic priests, gay rights activists, construction workers, military, etc but not my friend who read the incantation. His entire world fell apart. He secluded himself in his bedroom. He had a weight problems as it was. He stayed in his bedroom from 1997 to 2016. He had a heart attack and he had gained so much weight that they had to cut the outside wall on his bedroom and transport and treat him on a flat bed tow truck. He was flown in a cargo plane to Colorado and passed away there. Before his death his mother had a major stroke and his sister married and went away. The other 2 that were helping him during the reading were affected as well. One became a heavy prescription painkiller addict and has disappeared and the other be came HIV positive from a tainted blood transfusion in the early 80's when the AIDS epidemic began. He passed away from AIDS 3 years after the reading. This book and the words in it is very powerful and very evil. To even have a copy of it is dangerous. Avoid it at all costs.

I'm starting to wander if Lovecraft was influenced by actual demons.
I agree, a lot of people think that other entities or spirits can connect with us through our subconscious mind. So when he was working on the book maybe a entity was feeding him the material to put in it and H.P. took it as his imagination.

@The New Paulo Coelho ✋
I read a copy of this book. Can’t remember how I stumbled across it. It has a lot of vile and strange literature and incantations. It talks about calling up certain spirits through certain angles, on certain days and nights, who have knowledge of the sky, earth, and everything under the earth. These beings give the person power to resurrect the dead. The book also talks about astral planning and how the original author did this day in and day out to study the world’s history and learn its deepest secrets. It gives a step by step play of how to do this along with many other mind boggling puzzles. I didn’t believe in any of it and only read it out of curiosity. A lot of strange phenomena started happening in my life, like doors slamming, lights flickering in my house at the time, enormous amounts of birds gathering around my place, random ppl we knew were getting into freak accidents...and my girlfriend at the time suggested that I throw it away. I ended up burning the book, said a prayer over it, and never looked back.
Why you read it then if you didn't believe all of that? Better read the bible
TTime like I said, it was out of curiosity. As I read further I realized that it was something I wish I had not known. But here I’m saving you the trouble that I went through bc you can just read about the gist of it in my comment above. And I have read the Bible. It’s a lot of info missing and that’s what led me on the quest in the first place. But that’s another story...
@@bigharp0949 Interesting what you wrote. Wish you good future
You can buy them anywhere lol. Hp lovecraft is a popular author and his stories are great. I swapped one and $20 for my friends hardcover leather one with cathulu on the front lol
Did you sign the book with your name and signature? Did you sacrifice your blood to it?
So the Necronomicon is just a really crazy art journal/grimoire? That's still pretty cool.
Basically :D But it looks awesome.
I've got a leather one it's got good stories. Some are funny asf lol
Income taxation is much more scarier than this.
"Much scarier".
If those taxes aren't used for you and the people around you to live in a civilization... such as an empire to feed an armada military that's actually harmful causing mistrust between you and other nations, and siphoning the youth to that military to ultimately die or become maimed and disfigured and traumatizing mental disfiguring.
Using those proceeds to double deal against their own prohibitions to wage silent wars of conquest in manners of creating coupes creating puppet states so the nations' owners have free reign over land, natural resources, and desperate tyrannized labor.
So this depends on what those taxes are being spent on.
And who is paying less or any of them.
@@jmitterii2 Nope. Taxation is extortion. The stated purpose of the extortion doesn't make it any less extortion.

This is too much
The RUclips ads are more terrifying than a hundred necronomicons.

The Necronomicon is a literary tool written by Lovecraft to authenticate a series of horror stories he wrote ,nothing more. If you read ancient languages, which is a must for such studies , you will realize that this so.
This just goes to show that a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
More attention should be given in Lovecraft lore that he and fellow authors had a bit of a Writer's Club, and they frequently borrowed from each other quite freely, so that some characters, entities, and other literary devices , spanned across a good number of diverse works.
It's really quite a genius little group of enthusiasts, and when I learned that, I received a heaping lump of additional respect for him and his genre.
Im not 100% sure, but i thought i heard a rumor that a similar book to the necronomicon is supposed to exist in the Vatican library (of course, the vatican library is rumored to have a lot of unbelievable or improbable things in it). It was either the necronomicon or some other book for summoning evil spirits and demons and such.
Edit: just got to the part of the video where he talks about people believing its in the vatican XD
JRR Gimli the vatican archives seem really only to have letters from past popes and historical figures like Abraham Licoln. It still sucks since it seems like a lot of really amazing texts are stored away
A reason why it is "archived" is because a lot of historians believe there is evidence that the church was involved and helping both Mussolini's reign of terror and supporting the Nazi Party. probably not witchcraft sadly.
I equate this same theory to the bible. People tend to twist and determine their own interpretation of what they think it means or should be. Knowledge in the wrong minds or hands can be a dangerous thing! SMDH😒
While it's true that the book is fictional,Lovecraft WAS himself an accomplished ritual magician...
Went to Memphis in Egypt and there visited the ruins of Babylon... *Me: Checks map* Hmm....
Noticed that too, did you?
Yep I caught that lol. Only because when in Iraq with the marines I actually got to go visit babilon. Fun fact. The babilon gates that stand today are not the original gates. The original gates are standing in a museum in Germany.
@@johnathanbusse4679 ... yes the Ishtar-Gate... Germans back in the day weren't much better with relieving other cultures of their cultural valuables... for science of course. And because they belong in a museum, that is. Quite shameful...
@@robertnett9793 I agree. They have no place in Germany. They should be where they where built. I know if they where built in a powerfull country that country would likely force them to return it to its rightfull place. But iraq does not have that kind of power. It is also a shame that it is that way.
@@johnathanbusse4679 Now... all European powers in the 19th / early 20th century were on a grave-robbing spree all through Northern Africa and the Middle East. So there's a lot of cultural artifacts to be given back.
The copy of the Necronomicom I had said it was authored by Lovecraft. Who was Canadian. Most of it was linear notes on how Lovecraft stories seemed to be linked to Ancient Hopi Native American legends and Ancient Sumerian legend and how he himself had no idea. His writings of his first stories after being printed for so long brought him to this awareness and started using the ideas more.
Yes Lovecraft likely just created the Necronomicon, but the fact is that there are books like that that do exist ,and he had to have drawn some inspiration from them.
they existed after Lovecraft created his. There was money to be made
This is my BOOM stick!

You nailed it by referring to the Necronomicon Files by Donald Tyson as a reference to understand the chronology and real origins of the Necronomicon. The Necronomicon Files serve to prove that a work of fiction when popularized enough and when it's real origins are obscured enough can be taken as a real work, hence the importance of doing your personal research unearthing the truth of any topic and not falling in the make believe or hearsay of others (this being the must important lesson of the Necronomicon mythos legend).
Anyone here who first encountered the necronomicon from Evil Dead? 😂
Because I have and I got so fascinated by it that made me wonder how mysterious it is.
An ancient book that contains forbidden knowledge of the dead and other magical stuff.
Written in the early 20th century by a New-England horror author. Or rather implied in other stories, expanded on in stories by other authors and finally collected and written probably by a woo-peddler in the 70' to make a quick buck with all those new-age kids.
Just be sure to keep a chainsaw close by at hand if you ever read it.
I recently read the Novels by Andrzej Sapkowski about the Hussite Wars.
In those books the Necronomicon and other lovecraftian things are mentioned quite a few times. I loved it.
I've read that book about 10yrs ago.
A yr or so after I was late night drinking at a friend's house. We started talking about the book. I brought up the one who should not be mentioned several times. He told me my eyes turned completely black, and is the only time he ever feared me.
cool story
You shouldbecome a fiction writer.
Thanks bro.
Here in ireland, we have a book in one of our major universities known as "The Book of Kells" it was written in the early 800s if I'm correct and it seems to be a normal copy of the bible, with beautiful illustrations. However, in the middle of the book, there is a two page enormous illustrations of Satan that is surrounded by symbols and instructions of rituals,it's quite an odd and sudden addition and many believe that this is a result of the author selling his soul to Satan in order to finish the book as it took him decades, do you think Lovecraft could have been inspired by this?
Giga Voltz I think you may have that a bit mixed up, The book of Kells exists, and is quite beautiful, but the book you’re describing is the Codex Gigas, which was created in what’s now the Czech Republic.
The story of how it came to be made is a bit different. The monk who wrote it was given a year to write a full bible, or face execution in punishment for an unnamed sin. He prayed to god every night of that year in the hope that he would aid him. But on the final night, knowing he didn’t have time to finish, he prayed to the devil instead. The devil agreed to help, given the monk included extra pages on his behalf. Hence the folios if the devil and the strange rituals.
no
I feel like your lying. You sound like your naming the Devils bible The codex Dex Gigus
@@Drp_br_ same book, different name. Second is Latin I think
@@Joe_Potts true nvm then my bad
Before I had ever even heard of Lovecraft, a friend of mine loaned me his softback copy of the Necronomicon, and I took it home to read, but didn't have time to for a few days. Finally though, I had some free time, and set about my perusal...but as soon as I got through the forward, and turned the page to the actual book, the power went out. I lit a candle, as it was getting dark and stormy outside, and continued my read. It stormed violently the entire time, until I reached the last page, and just as I finished, the power came back on.
Needless to say, this had an impression on me, and I decided I wanted nothing further from this book, nor the entities described therein. Brought the book back to my buddy the next day, who said to me "You read it last night, didn't you?", "Yup, I did, how'd you know?", "The cats were screaming all night...keep it, I don't want it!"
So I held on to it, sitting on my shelf unopened for ages, until one day I finally read a compendium of Lovecraft works, and then went looking for my copy...which had vanished without a trace. Probably lifted by someone, but to be honest, I was a bit relieved.
But it does show how coincidence and rumor can convince one of most anything.
Publisher: "Ok, so what's all this X and Y?"
Writer: "It's because of... uuhm... things that cannot be fathomed, thought or uttered... kinda-ish?"
Publisher: "That's the Necronomicon defense. You don't know, do you? Get back to writing and I want a resolution to this plot hole by Monday."
Reminds me of the novel Prince of Lies by James Lowder. It’s based on the Forgotten Realms world of D&D. The book described in the novel might have drawn inspiration from this. Very good read

Very good artwork here. There is something utterly fascinating about the idea of a heavy old book that contains obscure knowledge and allows you to bring about events from the comfort of home.
Would be wonderful to see you tackle "The King in Yellow" next, which was a clear influence to Lovecraft's Necronomicon.
Can't help but think of "The Yellow King" in True Detective season 1
I can’t get enough of that guy!
Wiseman: When you removed the book from the cradle, did you speak the words?
Ash: Yeah, basically...
Wiseman: Did you speak the exact words?

Ah that was just pillow talk
The necronomicon was cobbled together by fans, in homage to Lovecraft, from public domain occult writings in the 1970s. I remember when it was done. It never existed before then except as a fictitious tome.
So, add this to the "odd coincidences" file with regards to the Necronomicon:
In the early '00s, I was very interested in Lovecraft, and had read many of his stories and some scholarship around him, and of course the Necronomicon came up a good bit in that. There was also a boom of occult writers producing "new" versions of the Necronomicon. Being aware that these were original works, I bought one but hadn't read it yet. Then, on a trip from the U.S. to Ireland, I happened to pick up the Simon Necronomicon (which I knew a little bit about) in an airport bookstore for a few bucks. I can't really read well on planes, but I had a multi-hour layover ahead in London, and so in Heathrow Airport, after getting some food, I found a secluded place to sit and read the book. I was reading the introduction to it, knowing how much some of it was just a further-embroidered version of Lovecraft's own fiction on the Necronomicon, but then it got into some of the other odd stuff supposedly associated with it. I found myself feeling more and more spooked by it...and, despite having eaten earlier, I had a very low blood sugar (I'm a near-lifelong type I diabetic), and at last figured out my odd mental state was from that rather than from anything in the book itself...and yet, having eaten, not doing a great deal of activity that would eat up my blood sugar in the process, there I was suddenly hypoglycemic for no really tangible reason. I still have the book, but haven't read it further since.
Ok, good, bc we don't want more ppl. going crazy while plane is flying midair. 😅
All you need to know is: it is not even a "Real Book". It is just a fictional book inside other books. Like "Magical Creatures" book inside the Potterverse books!
I believe he and all his fans already know. Thats not the point of the video
@@rafaguelfand6615 ohhh look into the comments....so many weirdos and people with...uhm...an "alternate reality"
yup, just that you need to know... dont search for the real one that just make you "crazy"...
no shit sherlock
The question I'd love to explore with this kind of world-building concept is if and how it influenced how real people related to dealth or facilitated conversations about it. Often things seem to gain reality as they are believed and the way people shape them as that happens always says more about us than anything. With a topic as compelling as death, the threads probably grow out in a lot of interesting directions.
Necronomicon is a book that lures the reader and then entangles them to the otherworld and the horrors that come along with it.
I've a copy of it, myself, penned by the real world author Donald Tyson. It has inspired me, not to walk the paths of the Empty Quarter of Arabia, but to search out knowledge for myself, and not to have it handed to me. To question EVERYTHING, and to find strength in both willpower and reason...
You prefer Donald’s or Lovecrafts?

@@simmothomas2138 OK. actually I've read the Epic of Gilgamesh, in English translation of course. It's actually not a very long read. It's one of the earliest works to have been written down and you can see a lot of stuff in it that later became part of the Old Testament. The flood for example.
@@erikswanson224 Yeah, except the ark described in Gilgamesh would never work, while the biblical ark uses a design that we use to this day
@@DavidbarZeus1 That could be true, I'm really not sure. I'm a little rusty in my cubit measurements. But, there were clearly cultures in the middle east at this time that were copying each other's stories. This is not surprising or unusual. Some of these stories were passed on to the tribes of Israel which were then written down from oral tradition as the Old Testament or Tanakh, as the Jews called it. Some of the Tanakh was passed on to the early Christians, most of who were, after all, Jews.

@@Moudy_lKl I’m interested
I made a facsimile of one! It’s basically a copy of the Simon necronomicon, with the Grimoire of the necronomicon by Donald Tyson , along with Lovecraft encyclopedic entries of monsters and other worlds, and a personally fabricated spell to “resurrect the dead”, all written in a code of letters selected from the Phonecian, Greek and Roman cursive Alphabets.
Recently, I read Dead Names by Simon, which details the journey through occult and seminary studies of the various characters involved in the discovery of the ancient copy of what is alleged to be the original text by the Mad Arab, and the fates of many of them. Really intriguing subject.

The Mad Arab didn't disappear. He suffered a horrible death in Damascus, and that also in front of a large group of profane. He revealed the art, as did lovecraft. Entities of smokeless flame despise mankind, and contact with these invisible inorganic entities is bound to doom the summoner sooner or later. Among religious scriptures, Quran gives a very thoughtful insight about these entities, and refers to them as "Jinns".
Ah, my finest work. I am glad all of you have enjoyed it.
I’m realizing that if the Necronomicon is hidden in any book I’ve read it’s House of Leaves. House of leaves might be the necronomicon
I can still remember Ed Warren proudly showing a reporter his "original copy" of The Necronomicon kept in his paranormal museum, then freaking out ever so slightly over the last years of his life as hundreds of guests at his lectures repeatedly proved it was a recently published work of fiction.
That doesn’t mean it’s not powerful or evil lol ;) human consciousness can do incredible things!

Also a big collection of Lovecraft´s works is titled Necronomicon. It is this really thick and heavy black book with Cthulhu in gold on the front.
John O ́neil yes that was the first time I ever read Lovecraft and it blew me away. Ever since other books I have read that have attempted cosmic horror are foolish and heretical.
ive just bought it! i work in a charrity store & it was among some books i was putting out on the shelves. it was only £2.50, but was in prestine condition, probably an unwanted xmas present. anyway, i hid it under the counter, & bought it at the end of my shift.
Necronomicon Ex Mortis was written by the Dark Ones and is bound in human skin. The ink used on its pages is made from human blood.
I read it in Highschool. Good book. Dunwich horror was challenging to read as it was written in circle talk. But those whippoorwill birds are a nightmare and good for setting the book terror.
