And while you're at it, young whipper-snappers, quit trying to offer Barney up as a ritual sacrifice! Young hooligans!

Barney as ritual sacrifice??? DANG! Why didn't I think of that! How AWESOME would that be? LOL!
(I'm thinking of staking Count Chocula out on the front lawn to see what the sunlight does to him too! LOL!)

I always wanted to hang my sister's Raggedy Ann doll but I was afraid Grandma would be the first to find her hanging in the hallway. Can you say heart failure?

H.P. lovecraft didn't write the Necronomicon. He was told about it through a friend of Crowley. H.P. Lovecraft, to my knowledge never actually saw it. The Necronomicon did exist, just not as Lovecraft wrote it. Many of the names that Lovecraft used are mix up, made up, and taken out of context. I don't know much about the original book but the name Necronomicon means 'book of dead names'.

Rebuttal:

The book: There are several books published with the name.
The author: Here's the best that I can do:

The sigils: Do you mean the Elder Signs? They've been developed.
The demons? They're real now. Come to speed please.

I'm not aware, after reading some things about Lovecraft and his writings, what occult symbols, rituals, or techniques ("deeper occult symbolism" with which his work is "entrenched") Lovecraft really knew about. Could you refer us 'kiddies' to sources who detail this? Joshi? A title? Was he aware of Theosophy secrets? Lesser Banish Rituals of the Pentagram? Do tell!

Your interest in portraying all of what has been constructed in association to the Necronomicon as fiction isn't convincing. Numerous occult authors are making use of Lovecraft's fiction, and some of these are serious attempts, even using the title 'Necronomicon' to make useful arcane tools. Those are not fictional.

What convinces you that fictional gods, demons, or elder gods cannot be summoned? Why would they have any different relation to reality than other demons? I suppose that they do not, and your contention should be followed up with some method to show how you can confirm the 'reality' of the demons (or gods) outside of Lovecraft's stories.

I have read the Necronomicon written by "Simon" and also did some spells out of his companion book The Necronomicon Spellbook, and those spells were the most effective I've ever cast.

There is no real Necronomicon, it was made up by H.P Lovecraft as a sensational element of his stories. While it bears the same name the Necronomicon by Simon is not the same one as the one described in the books, he only used the name to make it an attractive title. It is really a modern grimoire of ancient Sumerian magic conveyed by the fictional yet subconciously powerful story of the Necronomicon. Whatever it really is, it works and that's what matters most to me.
