Necronomicon Gnosis: A Practical Introduction

by Asenath Mason

The magic of the Necronomicon is based on dreams, visions and transmissions from planes and dimensions beyond the world as we know it, channeled and earthed by sensitive individuals. The power of this mythical tome lies in its intangibility and mysteriousness - it is a book with limitless potential, a volume that has never been completed and is continuously writing itself through the hands of those who receive its gnosis. "Necronomicon Gnosis: A Practical Introduction" thoroughly explores this magical tradition, discussing the lore of the Cthulhu Mythos from the perspective of a practitioner, providing applicable methods of work, both for beginners and advanced magicians. It presents basic magical concepts and techniques of their practical use within the context of the Necronomicon Gnosis: pacts and ceremonies, astral journeys, dream magic, scrying and travelling through gateways to interstellar dimensions, evocations, invocations, sex magic, self-initiation, shape-shifting, necromancy, the art of sacrifice, and many others. These techniques allow for a shift of consciousness in which we are able to experience the energies of the Great Old Ones that are normally inaccessible to our mundane perception. These primal beings, ever-changing and mutable, represent the evolutionary potential of the human mind - what we may become if we manage to transgress the limitations of human nature. First published in 2007, the original version of the book has been revised, expanded and updated. New chapters were added, containing texts and rituals previously published in various journals and magazines, as well as completely new, unpublished essays and practices.

If you're into the Gods of the Lovecraftian mythos, or certain crossover Gods such as Hastur, Lilith, Naamah, or Samael, you'll find this chock-full of workings.

If you have no idea what I'm writing about, or it scares the manure out of you, bett

A lot of text and unnecessarily complicated ways of working with the Old ones. If you want to work with the Old ones effectively and easily, I strongly recommend Carl Nagels "Book of the Old ones" (written by his pseudonym Scorpio): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Beautiful artwork by the author though.

I really enjoyed this book. Great for lovecraft fans, that are also occult and magick practitioners. Asenath breaks down the Mythos with occult knowledge. She also has rituals that are not over complicated and easy to follow.
