Synopsis: THE GATES OF THE NECRONOMICON is another important and invaluable companion book to the Necro. To properly utilize the magick of the Necro, an occultist must decipher the deep, complex world that the Mad Arab describes, and for many a reader, the complexity and nuance are overwhelming. Here Simon gives a detailed and compelling history of the importance of the constellations, especially the Big Dipperthe Bear constellation. Ancient cultures from Asia, Africa and South America all have myths that point to the importance of the Bear constellation, and Simon convincingly argues that this universal acknowledgment suggests that this constellation is deeply rooted in the origin of the human race. Hence the importance of the location of the Bear constellation in the night sky for the efficacy of the spells found in the Necro. In addition to this fascinating cultural history, THE GATES OF THE NECRONOMICON includes an appendix listing the dates on which the spells in the Necro must be performed in order to obtain optimal effectsthe time when the Gates of the Necronomicon are open. This book will be an invaluable resource for practitioners of the occult for years to come.
