THE NECRONOMICON SPELLBOOK

Edited by "Simon"
Companion of the Book of Fifty Names

INTRODUCTION

THE CHURCH where it all began no longer exists. Like so much else in
this bizarre case which has been quietly making history in the last
four years it has receded silently into the mists of memory. Simon had
been a monk, a priest, later an abbot and finally a consecrated bishop
of this Eastern Church, becoming ordained even before he graduated high
school. Coming from a Slavic background (his grandparents fled the
Austro-Hungarian Empire) he acquired a broad knowledge of several
foreign languages, including French, Spanish, Italian, Slavonic, Greek,
Latin and even Mandarin Chinese. This ability enables him to
communicate with people from many races and nationalities as well as to
probe the mysteries of religion and magick in the ancient manuscripts
and worn leather books from many long-forgotten lands. As a young
priest, he found himself called upon to perform exorcisms among poor
ethnic families in the sometimes seedy and dangerous New York City
neighborhoods that were his parish. He had faced evil many times in his
life, and battled with the devil himself in his many disguises. Yet, he
was still not prepared for the sudden appearance of the NECRONOMICON
that overcast afternoon in the Spring of 1972.

They had not quite made history yet, those two renegade monks who had
unwittingly made it possible for Simon to be one of the first human
beings to actually hold the notorious spellbook in his hands. But they
would. Shortly thereafter, headlines in the New York Times, the
Christian Science Monitor and other papers across the country
proclaimed the awful truth. His two brother monks had been arrested for
committing the biggest rare book heist in the history of the United
States. Little did they know the true value of one of their ill-gotten
possesions - the corroded box containing hundreds of pages of
manuscript written in a large, cursive hand in the Greek tongue. It was
only one of hundreds and hundreds more they had stolem from
universities and private collections across the United States and
Canada. The two monks would eventually serve time in a federal prison
for their offense. And Simon would be left with the task of deciphering
what appeared to be an ancient book of spells dating from the ninth
century, A.D.

L.K. Barnes had been a student at the university of Colorado when he

began painting the bizarre works of aliend landscapes that have become
his hallmark to all who know him now. Years ago, he had fantasized
about finding the dread NECRONOMICON in an old used book shop, and many
of his paintings and sculptures are of themes inspired by his voracious
reading of Lovecraft's opus. Somehow, he knew the book had to exist.
Somewhere. In some form. He knew it was not a mere fantasy of
Lovecraft's - for the very concept of such a book held a power all its
own. Then one day in 1977, a friend, whom we can identify only by his
initials B.A.K. led him to the Magickal Childe Bookstore in Manhattan.
It was just the type of strange and exotic place one would almost
expect to find a NECRONOMICON stashed on a forgotten shelf. Jokingly,
he asked the proprietor, Herman Slater, if such was the case.

'Certainly,' he replied, and pulled Simon's translated manuscript from

behind the counter. 'Here it is.'

The rest, as they say, is history.

Fighting against almost impossible odds, the first edition of the

NECRONOMICON was published in December, 1977. Friends and business
associates told both Simon and his new partner, L.K. Barnes, that the
project was doomed to failure. That it was too expensive. That it would
never sell. And that they would be stuck with a cursed book of evil
magick for the rest of their lives. They were proven wrong. In a year,
the first edition sold out even though it was retailing for fifty
dollars a copy. In less than a year, the equally expensive second
edition was sold out and a third edition was just printed in 1981. The
paperback rights were sold, and there has been talk of motion picture
rights for the story of the NECRONOMICON.

But the emergence of the NECRONOMICON has spawned a whole generation of

imitations since 1977. The brilliant artist and creator of the sets for
the movie Alien, H.R. Giger, has come out with his own Necronomicon; a
series of paintings based loosely on the subterranean concepts of H.P.
Lovecraft, who popularized the book in the 1920's and 1930's through
his short stories and novellas, depicting the NECRONOMICON as the most
blasphemous and sinister book of spells the world has ever known (an
attitude no doubt based on a serious misunderstanding of the book's
true origins and purpose). The British author, Colin Wilson,
collaborated in a thin volume published in 1978 containing speculation
concerning the existence of the NECRONOMICON. Stephen Skinner mentioned
it in his introduction to the Enochian Disctionary, and Francis King
has mentioned it in his introduction to the Armadel, a reprint of a
spell book of the Middle Ages.

A reviewer for Fate Magazine warned his readers against possible misuse
of the Book as it might involve serious hazards to one's health
(mental, physical, or spiritual?), and indeed much of the Book's legend
concerns the formulae for the invocation of dark powers from under the
earth or beyond the veil of the stars. However, these same forces are
in actuality no more than the long-forgotten psychic abilities of
humanity, retained over millions of years since the first human walked
the earth and was in intimate communication with the powers of nature,
the heavens, and the animal kingdom. These forces are the remnants of
ancient gods worshipped by the earliest recorded Western civilization:
the Sumerians, a race that disappeared mysteriously from the face of
the earth over four thousand years ago.

The Editor and Publishers of the NECRONOMICON hope, by this volume, to

present a short guide to the use of the spells of the Book that would
enable anyone to simply pick it up and use it without fear or risk. The
spells concerning the Fifty Names of the Sumerian God Marduk were
chosen because of their universal appeal to the basic needs and desires
of every human being; Love, Wealth, Peace of Mind, Protection Against
Enemies, and Wisdom being among them. The Editor felt that the benefits
to be derived from the use of these spells should not be restricted to
those who have the time and the academic background necessary to follow
the entire complex system through to its end; a process that would take
most people over a year to perform properly. Instead, in the following
pages, a simple mathod of using the names, words and seals of Marduk
has been outlined and demonstrated so that anyone can follow the
process easily and with success.

This means you.

We have received many letters from people who have been very impressed
with our publication of the NECRONOMICON but who find the arcane
language and eerie instruction and diagrams a trifle confusing, and who
have asked us to simplify it for them so that they could get right into
the spells and turn their lives around without entailing any psychic
harm. We have seen it as our responsibility, therefore, to present this
book as an answer to those letters and those requests for a neat,
simple method of using the ancient and awesome forces of the
NECRONOMICON to gain wisdom, power, love and protection in these
troubled times.

So, we urge you not to put off using the spells that make up half of
this report. There is no reason why you should sit back and wait for
someone else to pick it up and later tell you how great it worked, how
wonderful the results are, how fast your wishes can come true. This is
your opportunity to decide that finally, today, you assume full and
total responsibility for you life and happiness; that the time for
sorrow, fear, doubt and confusion is over; that from now on, you are
your own master with the help of the malefick of the incredible
NECRONOMICON.

THESE SPELLS were originally worked by the mystics of ancient Sumeria,

a mysterious civilization that flourished in what is now knows as Iraq
over two thousand years before the birth of Christ. No one knows who
the Sumerians really were, or where they came from. Some say they came
from the darkest parts of Africa, where they were a nomadic people.
Then, suddenly, in less than a hundred years they became a full-fledged
agricultural society with cities and farms and beautiful temples that
reached to the skies. They gave credit for their awakening to a strange
being who came to them from the sea, wearing a diving suit, and who
taught them writing, science, agriculture, architecture and, of course,
magick. Almost overnight, the Sumerians became a people. Working the
system of the NECRONOMICON in the seven-storied temples, they became
the most cultured and powerful force in the Middle East. It is their
sytem of magick that has been retained in the NECRONOMICON. Now, after
literally thousands of years, this secret mystical system for winning
power, love and success is made available to everyone.

Of course, the original spells were in the Sumerians' own language, but
thanks to the team of translators who worked with Simon on the
decipherment of the manuscript, we can now understand what the spells
were about and how to work them properly in English.

But, in order to work properly, some Sumerian words have been kept
because they are known as 'words of power'. A 'word of power' is a word
that contains power in itself; in its very pronunciation, in the sounds
that comprise it. It cannot be changed, or else its power would be lost
forever. Hence, we have kept the original Sumerian words of power in
their original state, with the sounds intact. Some of them may look
difficult to pronounce at first, but take it very slowly and you will
derive much benefit from it. These are the words once spoken thousands
of years ago in the Sumerian temples to summon cosmic forces of such
scope that the mind clearly balks at trying to picture the rituals that
must have accompanied them in those days. So take the time and trouble
to learn the correct way to pronounce the words you want to use. The
effort will pay off a hundredfold when you actually employ your ritual.

Step One

Once you have found the spell you wish to use from the following seals
and descriptions, make a copy of the seal on fresh, clean paper with
black ink. You make the seal as large or small as you wish. Keep it in
a safe place until you are ready to use it, and never, under any
circumstances, let another person look at it, before or after you use
it. It is for your eyes only.

Step Two

Choose a quiet evening and a place where you will not be disturbed for
your ritual. The best time is about three in the morning, when
distractions (both natural and psychic) are at their lowest intensity.
Have your seal ready in front of you. Light two white candles and place
them at either side of the seal on a table or desk. If you care to,
light a stick of incense. Pine or sandalwood is best, or cedar. The
Moon should be waxing, but in cases of emergency this is not necessary.
Any time will do. When this has all been arranged, sit quietly for a
few minutes and think about the goal you want to achieve.

Step Three
While looking intently at the seal you have made, so that it is the
only thing you can see, take three deep breaths, slowly, one at a time.
Concentrate on the goal at the same time, seeing it as a picture if
possible. A picture of yourself sitting in a pile of cash, or with your
arms around a loved one, or withing a protective circle. Then, slowly
raise your eyes, without lifting your head, to the heavens and say,
slowly and clearly:

ZI KIA KANPA (Zee-Kee-Ya-Kan-Pa)

ZI ANNA KANPA (Zee-An-Na-Kan-Pa)

ZI DINGIR KIA KANPA (Zee-Deen-Geer-Kee-Ya-Kan-Pa)

ZI DINGIR ANNA KANPA (Zee-Deen-Geer-An-Na-Kan-Pa)

Hear me, O Thou_________________ (here insert the Name of the Spirit

you are invoking)

Come to Me by the Powers of the Word_________________ (here insert the

word of the Spirit you are invoking)

And answer my urgent prayer!

ZI KIA KANPA

ZI ANNA KANPA

Step Four

Then slowly lower your eyes back to the seal in front of you and stare
intently at the drawing, at the same time forming a clear mental image
of the end you are trying to achieve. Do not pay any attention to any
strange or eerie feelings you may experience at this point. They are
common with this type of ritual and are no cause for alarm. It is
important that you do not break concentration for any purpose
whatsoever, so ignore the odd sounds and sensations that might
The use of EPADUN is obvious by the preceding sentences. Water is fast
becoming a scarce commodity in some areas of the earth, and dowsers are
often called in to help locate sources of water under the ground. How
much more powerful they could be with knowledge of the power of the
NECRONOMICON and the Sumerian spirit called EPADUN.

26. The Twenty-Sixth Name is ENBILULUGUGAL.

The Power that presides over all growth, and all that grows. Gives

the planet Venus.

The Destroyer of TIAMAT, hated of the Ancient Ones, Master over the
Serpent, Foe of KUTULU. A most powerful Lord. His Word is

harnessing of the sexual urge for greater magickal power, as is done in
some Western and Eastern occult traditions.

Trod the back of the Worm and cut it in twain. Lord of Bravery and
Courage, and gives these qualities to the Priest who desires it, or to
others the Priest may decide. The Word is BACHACHADUGG.

One of the prime characteristics of survivors is an inner sense of

courage in the face of near impossible odds. Quite often, all that
stands between us and success is the courage to do the right thing.
Self-confidence does not come with being born. It must be learned.
MALAH can help, The use of the seal and name acts withing days, some
say within minutes, to instill an exhiliarating feeling of superiority.
One feels equal to any task, no matter how hard or forbidding.

years go by.

33.The Thirty-Third Name is ZULUM.

Knows where to plant and when to plant. Giveth excellent counsel in all
manner of business and commerce. Protects a man from evil tradesmen.

particularly sticky or important business deal with people you donÕt
particularly trust.

34.The Thirty-Fourth Name is MUMMU.

The Power given to MARDUK to fashion the universe from the flesh of
TIAMAT. Giveth wisdom concerning the condition of life before the
creation, and the nature of the stuctures of the Four Pillars whereupon
the Heavens rest. His Word is ALALALABAAAL.
Before there was Matter, according to certain mystics, there was only
Energy. This Spirit is summoned to impart knowledge of this divine and
cosmic fire to the magickal aspirant.

39.The Thirty-Ninth Name is ARANUNNA.

Giver of Wisdom, Counselor to our Father, ENKI, Knower of the Magickal

Covenant and of the Laws and of the Nature of the Gates. His Word is
ARAMANNGI.

The Magickal Covenant is descriptive of the uneasy truce that exists

between the forces of Good and Evil, or, if you will, the Ancient Ones
and the Elder Gods, both alien life forms which somehow contributed to
the birth of the human race and which now vie for superiority over us.
The Gates refer to the process of self-initiation contained in the
NECRONOMICON. This is a useful Spiritual Guide for those involved in
any form of occult self-initiation, for ARANUNNA sometimes acts as a
Teacher.

40.The Fortieth Name is DUMUDUKU.

Possessor of the Wand of Lapis Lazuli, Knower of the Secret Name and
the Secret Number. May not reveal these to thee, but may speak of other
things, equally marvelous. His Word is ARATAGIGI.

An awesome Force, difficult to summon. Of little practical use, it

would seem, except that the 'other things, equally marvellous can
sometimes be quite useful! Not to be attempted until after you have
mastered at least two or twelve of the others. Once summoned, DUMUDUKU
is difficult to hold for very long.

41. The Forty-First Name is LUGALANNA.

knowledge of the world when the Ancient Ones and the Elder Ones were

Knows the Essence of all Spirits, of the Dead and the Unborn, and the
Starry and Earthly, and the Spirits of the Air and the Spirits of the
Wind as well. Which things he may tell thee, and thou wilt grow in
wisdom. His Word is ZIDUR.

Enables one to work magick with greater ease and speed, but also to
divine the Truth in any given situation, to sense the reality behind
the false-fronts of personal behavior in others, to know immediately
when you are being deceived, or when others are deceiving themselves.
For the magician, this Spirit gives excellent information concerning
the art of Magick itself, and how the spirits may best be summoned.

43. The Forty-Third Name is IRKINGU

This is the Power that laid capture to the Cammander of the forces of
the Ancient Ones, KINGU, Mighty Demon, that MARDUK might lay hold of
him and, with its blood, create the Race of Men and seal the Covenant.
His Word is BARERIMU.

This Spirit can also give knowledge of past lives and incarnations,
because it was there at the time of the creation of the human race, and
knows of its origins through the Blood and how the Demon KINGU was
captured. When invoking this Spirit, meditate for awhile quietly before
you close the circle, looking meanwhile into a smooth polished surface
like a mirror or a crystal ball, and various images will arise that
will tell you what you wish to know.

44.The Forty-Fourth Name is KINMA.

Judge and Lord of the Gods, at whose name they quake in fear. That the
Gods may not err, this Power was given to oversee their activities,
should they be lawful and within the nature of the Covenant, for the
Gods are forgetful, and very far away. His Word is ENGAIGAL.

When all else fails, when your prayers and invocations come to nothing,
when it seems as though God has forgotten you and abandoned you to your
fate, when the situation seems hopeless with no chance of improvement,
call on KINMA with all your heart and mind and soul. Empty yourself of
your fear and loneliness in his presence, and he will carry your
message to the throne of the Gods themselves.

45.The Forty-Fifth Name is ESIZKUR.

This Spirit possesses the knowledge of the length and Life of any man,
even unto the plants and the demons and the gods. He measureth all
things, and knoweth the Space thereof. His Word is NENIGEGAL.
About this spirit we may not speak. He can be invoked at your own
discretion, should you find such information desirable or necessary. A
word of advice, though, from someone experienced in these matters. Do
not ask from ESIZKUR knowledge of your own length of life. Unless you
are prepared to deal with that information in a useful and productive
way.

46.The Forty-Sixth Name is GIBIL.

This Power has been given the Realm of the Fire and the Forge. He
keepeth the sharp point of the Sword and the Lance, and giveth
understanding in the working of metals. He also raises the Lightning
that comes from the Earth, and maketh Swords to appear in the Sky. His
Word is BAALAGNITARRA.

According to the esoteric teaching, this Spirit initiates the magician

into the processes of self-knowledge, refining those base components of
ourselves that remain secret even to us, or are revealed through the
costly process of psychotherapy and analysis. Helps you to understand
why you are the victim of passions and urges you cannot control, and
how to eventually control them. Worth the trouble involved to invoke
for the serious student.

47. The Forty-Seventh Name is ADDU.

Raises storms that fill the entire heavens and causes the Stars to
tremble and the very Gates of the IGIGI to shake in their stead. Can
fill the skies with his brightness, even in the darkest hour of the
night. His Word is KAKODAMMU.
Sometimes it is too difficult to deal with a situation that involves a
great many extenuating circumstances, the personal feelings of several
people, which may be confused, for instance. The invocation of ADDU can
dispel the confusion and the troubled feelings and help clear the air
in a quick and dramatic fashion. In extreme cases, ADDU can abruptly
change the entire situation for the better by throwing a fast-moving
random factor into the pattern that causes everything to change and
dispel bad energy.

48.The Forty-Eighth Name is ASHARRU.

Knower of the Treacherous Ways. Gives intelligence of the Future and

also of things Past. Put the Gods in their courses and determined their
cycles. His Word is BAXTANDABAL.

Gives information, but does not act on commands. An excellent Spirit to

invoke before doing a card-reading or asking any question about the
future. Has an uncanny way of getting to the heart of any matter put
before him.

49.The Forty-Ninth Name is NEBIRU.

This is the Spirit of the Gate of MARDUK. Manages all things in their
ways, and moves the crossings of the stars after the fashion known to
the Chaldeans. His Word is DIRGIRGIRI.
To be invoked when you feel a need for order and pattern in your life,
or someone else's. When a sense of security and safety is desired or
needed, of comfort and well-being, and of peace.

50. The Fiftieth Name is NINNUAM.

This is the Power of MARDUK as Lord of All That Is, Judger of

Judgements, Decider of Decisions, He Who Determines the Laws and the
Reign of Kings. He may not be called, save at the destruction of a city
or the death of a king. His Word is GASHDIG.

The Warning should be observed scrupulously. 'King', however, may be

taken to mean also, besides heads of state and monarchs, corporation
executives and religious leaders.

AFTERWORD

BY NOW you have been intrigued and mystified by the bizarre contents of
the ancient and awesome occult text, and you may be wondering what
possibilities the NECRONOMICON has in store for you. Does it really
work?

Far from deriding such a skeptical attitude, might I say that it is the
only attitude to take in regards to any occult service or textbook. We
live in a scientific age, the age of space travel and nuclear energy,
of genetic engineering and robots, of pocket calculators and home
computers. And, in the midst of all this technological achievement,
there appears like a ghost from the Eldritch past, the NECRONOMICON. In
the age of push-button commands issued from sleek terminals in sterile,
air-conditioned computer rooms there comes a book of incantation and
exorcism. Among the bespectacled, distracted technicians, programmers
and engineers, stands the stark and faintly terrifying figure of the
Mad Arab. The juxtaposition is incredible. What does it mean? What does
it portend?

We have not yet been able to give a computer the gift of thought. From
the most primitive, hand-held calculator to the massive consoled in
research centers around the world, all the computer can really do is
compute. People are the only machines that are capable of thought, of
creativity, of art and of love. That which sets us apart from the
computers is what draws us towards the NECRONOMICON, for it speaks to
our spirit, and speaks of dangers our spirit may face in attempting to
unleash untold, untestes cosmic forces upon our planet and ourselves.
You don't have to believe in the religion of the Sumerians in order to
work the miracles of the NECRONOMICON, for it was the magick of the
NECRONOMICON that gave spawn to the religion of Sumer. You merely have
to believe in yourself. Give yourself, that part of you that you know
is better than any machine, any space-shuttle, and computer, a chance
at succeeding where others have failed. Don't merely believe in the
NECRONOMICON. Try it. Not once, but several times. Give it a thoroughly
scientific battery of tests.

And then sit back and enjoy the show.

Good hunting.

Stoop not down, therefore,

Unto the Darkly-Splendid World,

Wherin continually lieth

A faithless Depth

And Hades wrapped in clouds,

Delighting in unintelligible Images,

Precipitous, winding,

A black, ever-rolling Abyss

Ever espousing a Body

Unluminous

Formless

And Void.

The Chaldean Oracles of Zoroaster
