Superstition Nonsense, need some help Options

As long as I have been conscience of my of being, I have always heard that the Necronomicon was, well evil, satanistic material. ANd I am sure that the people who stated that are just ignorant, superstitious fanatics. Recently I have been really doing ceremonial, but the necronomicon looks interesting. I know I am just ignorant in this field but why do people say that this book is just no good? IN these forums, I have read that many people find this book useful, but if I use it am I going to end up going nuts or anything like that.

Thanks,

Mike M.

ps. Dont be offended, anyone who reads this, for any reason.

It is my understanding that the Necronomicon is to be treated with respect for a few reasons

. First, the ritual included is abbreviated. As was customary, steps preparatory to ritual, such as banishings, are abbrieviated or omitted entirely on the assumption that mages would know those particulars.

Second, there are barbarous words of power included in the rituals which resonate to powerful energies. Unlike most magical operations where fluffy bunnies are selfom capable of rending the time-space continuum, word of power magic can achieve results all out of proportion to the skill of the caster. This warning becomes more significant when considered in conjunction with the already stated warning about the ritual structures being incomplete. Things can get out of hand for the inexperienced.

Third, considering the nature of the magick contained in this volume, these are extreme workings which usually hold appeal to beings incarnating from a lower realm. No value judgement there, most of my friends are demons incarnate. It's just worth noting that contact with powerful entities from the Qlipoth can be imbalancing to humans and those using a human perspective.
