I am purchasing another copy of the Simon Necronomicon soon,and I need info on writing rituals and spells to be used "strictly" within the Necronomicons religious and magickal system for :
1) The worship of the various Elder Gods or the various Ancient ones.
2)My own spells for various needs/purposes and desires: protection,love,lust,money,health,revenge.
3) Making Necronomicon based talismans and amulets
4)Creating and working with my own egregores for various purposes.
5)Developing. solitary as well as coven based Necronomicon initiation rites.
6) seeing as some freinds and I want to form a Necronomicon based Coven,I would also like information/advice of how to develop group rituals.
Thank you

There is plenty of internal symbolism used within the book itself without necessarily having to explore sumerian/babylonian/assyrian mythology, but it is definitely worth looking into it.
Take for example invocations to the planets - the orphic hymns are an excellent resource, they offer poetic names for the spheres which capture their qualities in ways that are meaningful in words. Obviously you wouldn't use the orphic hymns in a strictly necronomicon based system...
To really formulate any good advice, though, you'd first have to grasp the basic principles of all of these elements - how to make talismans and amulets generally, how to construct group rituals, how to connect mythological symbolism to a rite, etc. The questions you seem to have speak to the most basic elements of magical practice. Are you familiar with ritual magic in general? It would be helpful to know how much you already know.
