Keys to Power beyond Reckoning: Mysteries of the Tyson Necronomicon 2 Years, 1 Month ago Karma: 0  
This thread discusses the Content article: Keys to Power beyond Reckoning: Mysteries of the Tyson Necronomicon

I'd be interested to see an example of the cypherous content of the book...

I am an avid reader of Donald Tyson's books on the occult arts and truly enjoy his style. He is a very well-informed man, pragmatic, and never fails to bring age-old concepts in a new, "post-modern" light.

I have read Tyson's newest book: The Grimoire of the Necronomicon and I must say that his style differs somewhat as he incorporates much of Lovecraft's cosmical horror into his writting, of course, how could he not, as he was writter of this genre.

I applaud John Orne for going at the heart of the matter with Tyson's book. Anyone who has read Tyson's "Enochian Magic for Beginners" knows this man has very strong beliefs in (and I'd say sympathies for) the Apocalypse being something we ourselves must trigger to bring a global shift.

The more book Tyson gets to publish, the darker he gets. He is aware of this, and as his work is published by Llewellyn (Not your typical Ixaxaar publishing), he must be careful to put his work in a readable, "acceptable" material. I'll be frank, sometimes I read some passages and thought to myself: "Holy cow, how did he convince Llewellyn to publish this stuff?"

But in conclusion, this article has been very well written and it is clearer to me that Donald Tyson, a fellow Canadian and Maritimer, is an agent of the Old Ones, the Enochian Angels, the Titans, or whatever you want to call them.

Thy Own Self,

Let me guess, the "stars will come right" on or about 21 December of 2012, right?

I found this article after a Google search for this famous quote:

“The secret priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth....Then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom."

Has anyone here read Garth Ennis´CROSSED comic series? I think it illustrates pretty accurately what the world would be like once it starts to slide into the chaotic state described by this article.

Just a thought.

Google has a very sizable preview (maybe more than 80% of the book).

Certainly this very large preview is more than sufficient to get a feel for whether you would enjoy owning a copy.
http://books.google.com/books?id=OgiHIGOixsMC&lpg=PP1&ots=KXDwHBPKvT&dq=grimiore%20of%20the%20necronomicon&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false

Personally I found it very interesting and even a little exciting at first, but that initial flush of enthusiasm has been tempered over time.

I'd recommend getting it if you are interested in:
1) Seeing a particular magician's ideas on how to use the Mythos for magick
2) Would like to see a gnostic interpretation of Lovecraft (based mostly on exploring the parallel between the Barbello myth of Gnosticism and the "fallen earth" theme mention in the Dunwich Horror)
3)have a fondness for Tyson's apocalyptic interpretation of the Enochian materials.

Without one or more of those interests you probably wont like the book much.
