THE NECRONOMICON — no such book was even comparable to what has been alluded to by Lovecraft until late 2010 – when the Necronomicon Anunnaki Legacy Edition of the “Mardukite” work was released.
In the horror-fantasy fiction writings of H.P. Lovecraft at the beginning of the 20th century, we find references few and far between of a mysterious book – a book of all books; the ‘archetypal book’ prized among all others, and it is called: NECRONOMICON. The truth as we all know it is simple: Lovecraft never released or even composed such a book, his references are sporadic and offer to us only a few lines at a
time from something we are expected to believe runs some 800 pages.
[This blog post officially excerpted from Mardukite Liber 555, available as “Necronomicon for Beginners” or “Stargate to the Abyss” and it appears in the anthologies “History of the Necronomicon” and “Necronomicon Gnosis”, all edited by Mardukite founder, Joshua Free.]
Let us put aside for a moment the creative freedoms that have been taken by many artists in the field and consider the facts: H.P. Lovecraft never produced any kind of NECRONOMICON himself; he publicly denounced the existence of any such book in reality and what’s more, he said that no book could ever be compiled to satisfy the ominous character and nature that such a book had come to earn. Quite simply, the book had taken on a life of its own. By the time of the New Age literary apex in the 1980’s and 90’s, the only significantly represented edition of the work remained to be the Simon Necronomicon.
“By the end of Lovecraft’s literary career, the scattered details of the Necronomicon had reached such epic proportions that it seemed that it would be impossible for it to exist.”
~ Liber-R, Necronomicon Revelations.
Significant attention is given toward H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos in the “Mardukite” volume “Liber R” (released as Necronomicon Revelations, also available in the Necronomicon Anunnaki Legacy Silver Edition). Little of such details will be repeated here for the explicit purposes that: outside of the name and title NECRONOMICON there is actually no reflection between the Simon Necronomicon and the work of H.P. Lovecraft – with the exception that certain perceptions and worldviews could be paralleled based on the way in which the surface Judeo Christian world might perceive the type of lore and knowledge genuinely (historically) alluded to concerning the ancient Anunnaki traditions of the Sumerian and Babylonian cultures.
“It may be the manifestation of a tangible book – wholly obscure for its time – with the title across the front: Necronomicon – is what really launched the success of the book (contents aside). For many, the chances to own and possess such a legendary work was a dream come true. But as with many dreams and wishes, the dreamer does not always know what is for their own higher good. As soon as the Necronomicon was celebrated or coming into being, it was just as quickly renounced for its existence – and not simply by the right-wing and others you would normally expect, but by the same pulp-fiction fans who rejoiced in its arrival!”
