Simonomicon for Dummies
Mar. 9th, 2006 02:26 pmI love it when morons try to claim legitimacy for the Simonomicon by saying that Sumerian magic is real. Sumerian magic may and probably is real, but the stuff in the Simonomicon is crap. I know only a very tiny little bit about Sumerian magic and even I can tell that the stuff in the Simonomicon isn't Sumerian, or any other coherent pre-Christian Mesopotamian magic. It's a jumbled garb of shite, and while they were making shit up, they didn't even bother to make the meager Lovecraftian contents enjoyable. Fuck Simon. If you want an entertaining Necronomicon, check out the Don Tyson version from Llewellyn. I hate most of his other books, but at least he cared enough to write a Necronomicon that included Lovecraft's input.
