I suppose its a good source of information when it talks about Gate walking; even providing Daoist views of that. Its gives a quick crash course in Ancient civilizations and a unique view of the Big Dipper in reference to the Necronomicom. It gives dates and times perfect for Gate Walking so those interested in such will have a good resource. Now for all the praise I just gave the book here comes the pain. I didn't like it. The reason I didn't like it is because It didn't give me what I was hoping for. I'm a ceremonial magician and I do rever and respect the Elder Gods, But I'm not a priest by any means. So when I picked up this volume, I had hoped that this text would be somewhat like a grimoire and its not. So thats what I think of the Book. What do you think?

I just want to know why he would change so radically from a book that was published in the same year. .......... QUOTE(distillate @ Dec 18 2006, 02:33 PM) I don't see anywhere (in gates) where he thinks the elder gods are going to help survival anymore then the anceint ones. Simon cleary states in "Gates of the Necronomicon," on page 165, that the Ancient Ones are not our friends. QUOTE ......For the interior battle we wage for the dominion of our own souls continues in the exterior war for all souls, for the survival of our race,the Human race. As above, so below. Do not think that the race to which we refer is white, or black, or yellow, or any other color. This warfare between races according to colors and religions and languages is a device to keep the entire Race disunited, the easier to conquer from Outside. It is a cynical device of the Ancient Ones...... Simon says quite plainly that the warfare between humans is a device of the Ancient Ones so that they may conquer us. That being said, I will post my review of the book by Friday. Ashnook -------------------- My Webpage Concerning the Necronomicon
