"The Gates of the Necronomicon" is another important and invaluable companion book to the Necro. To properly utilise the magick of the Necro, an occultist must decipher the deep complex world that the Mad Arab describes, and for many a reader, the complexity and nuance are overwhelming. Here Simon gives a detailed and compelling history of the importance of the constellations, especially the Big Dipper - the Bear constellation. Ancient cultures from Asia, Africa and South America all have myths that point to the importance of the Bear constellation, and Simon convincingly argues that this universal acknowledgment suggests that this constellation is deeply rooted in the origin of the human race. Hence the importance of the location of the Bear constellation in the night sky for the efficacy of the spells found in the Necro. This book will be an invaluable resource for practitioners of the occult for years to come.
