“Referencing the Necronomicon is touchy business, in both the academic world of book worms and the occult realm of spell-castors. I personally have had no fear in doing so since I was so publicly dragged into the arena from my teenage years by Daniel Harms & John Gonce when I was writing under the name “Merlyn Stone” (my pseudonym as a teenager, just in case people like Harms & Gonce did exactly what they did to the work I was releasing at that time…lmao). However, the ancient mythos and mysticism that we were intrigued by very closely resembled the type of work found in the Simon “Necronomicon” and hence the connection to the title. These days, for me at least, it has become familiar territory – a place to call “home”.”
“The legacy brought forth by the ancient Mesopotamian world (and Egyptian for that matter) did not die with them or we would not have anything near to the world that we have today. Their influence remains true. One might believe (or prefer to believe) that since we no longer live under the same conditions and guises of our ancestors, that we have some-how been able to escape their Truth – that it could not longer have application for us. Such is clearly not the case, nor did things end entirely with the lore and sagas of the Sumerians and Babylonians and other desert dwellers in a forgotten world – no indeed.”
