El Grimorio del Necronomicón: El libro de la magia ritual de Cthulhu

by Donald Tyson, María del Puerto Barruetabeña Díez (Translator)

Directamente arrancado del plano astral, tiene en sus manos uno de los verdaderos libros de la Magia Ritual de CTHULHU. El libro de los Antiguos.

Los Antiguos fueron, los Antiguos son y los Antiguos serán. Grandes son sus favores con los que les sirven, pero mayor es su maldad contra sus enemigos. Transitan por la tierra cuando los muros entre los mundos se hacen más delgados y las puertas de Yog-Sothoth se abren de par en par. Caminan en el crepúsculo y entre las nieblas de la mañana, antes de la salida del sol. Recorren los caminos cuando la luna y el sol se cruzan sobre la cabeza del dragón y cuando se encuentran de nuevo sobre su cola.

La tierra tiembla con el rugido del trueno distante y el aire se llena del hedor del azufre ardiente...

About the author

Donald Tyson is a Canadian from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Early in life he was drawn to science by an intense fascination with astronomy, building a telescope by hand when he was eight. He began university seeking a science degree, but became disillusioned with the aridity and futility of a mechanistic view of the universe and shifted his major to English. After graduating with honors he has pursued a writing career.

Now he devotes his life to the attainment of a complete gnosis of the art of magic in theory and practice. His purpose is to formulate an accessible system of personal training composed of East and West, past and present, that will help the individual discover the reason for one's existence and a way to fulfill it.

I don't care much for Donald Tyson's material, but this book is one of his better projects. Surprisingly, once he started on the "Necromicon" material for his novel, the Grimoire, the Necronomicon Tarot, he really started to shine as an occultist, at least in my opinion.

This book gives you a reliable magickal system to work from if you are into the dreaded "Necronomicon" and the rites that spring from it. Use this in conjunction with the "Simon edition" of the Avon edition of the same name for best results!

No disfruté tanto de este libro como lo hice de “Necronomicón”. La razón es que todos los ritos estan “suavizados” así como la personalidad de las deidades y hasta el hecho de pertenecer a la Orden de los Antiguos, nada que ver con los despiadados y aterradores sucesos que vivió Alhazred en sus narraciones. Comprendo que se trata de ritos escritos de tal forma que cualquier persona pueda llegar a practicar, pero hubiese preferido que Tyson simplemente escribiera ficción, así como lo hizo en su primer libro.

It had a pretty cover. It reads like a companion book to Lovecraft's Elder Gods in his stories.
The library I checked it out from has cataloged this in non-fiction dewey decimal system 133.
I checked out "Necronomicon The Wanderings of Alhazred" from a different library the shelving is non-fiction. Humm...

Mr. Tyson's attempt at turning scattered references in Mr. Lovecraft's stories into a system of ceremonial magic. It's a very tame interpretation. Personally, I would have gone with a much more darker and disturbing way of doing things.

I really like how Tyson expanded the story behind the faux!

I read through to the end, but not sure why. This was just a summary of the "Alhazred: Author of the Necronomicon", which I read last summer.
