On The Use Of The Term “Necronomicon” – Answering The Critics

Necronomicon Science (also known as Dur.An.Ki) is an alchemical, mystical, and esoteric spiritual path  comprising the collective religious, cultural, and legal tradition of modern-day Mesopotamian influenced spiritualists and Ninzuwu. The Necronomicon draws upon esoteric elements found primarily in SumerianBabylonianAssyrian, and Chaldean myths and rituals, along with a subtle framework that is lightly influenced by Buddhism, Judaism, Taoism, , and Yazidism.

Although critics of the Necronomicon by Simon come from many different backgrounds. I find it amazing how most of them will speak ill of the text on interviews and forums, but they never ask a Necronomicon spiritualists, or a Ninzuwu to explain their spiritual vantage point publicly. So how can any critics of the Simon Necronomicon be taken seriously, or honestly for that matter?

Our central text is the Necronomicon by Simon. However, as clearly discussed in the book’s introduction, we view the catalog of author H.P. Lovecraft as purely fictional. Under its introductory topic The Mythos and the Magick, the Necronomicon by Simon states:

“Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos was meant for entertainment…. The magicians who now read these works are expected to be able to select the wheat from the chaff, in much the same fashion as an alchemist discerning the deliberate errors in a treatise on his subject.”

While the term necronomicon is derived from the fictional texts of author H. P. Lovecraft, it should be remembered that it is common practice in the fields of religious and scientific study to apply academic meanings to words that originate in fictional literature. For example, terms like genetic engineering, robotics, and zero gravity, are just a few words that are used by academic institutions, which find their origin in fictional literature and novels.  The word robot, for example, was first used to denote a fictional humanoid in a 1920 Czech-language play R.U.R. (Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti – Rossum’s Universal Robots) by Karel Čapek, However, we don’t find a whole bunch of people trying to convince manufacturers of real robots that the term derived from a fictional play. There are over 88 terms used by the academic world that derive from fictional works and this practice began with occult science.

For the purposes of our spirituality, the use of the term Necronomicon (a treatise on Chaldean Alchemy) perfectly defines the underworld journey of initiation, where the student must pass through seven stages or gates, a process similar to practices described by Herodotus concerning the Greek Necromanteion rituals. Necronomicon Science imbues a profound understanding of its highly-revered mystical text. As a member of this religion, you will learn its hidden teachings and secret methods and never before revealed sciences, leading to your anointing as a Chaldean.
