Dogg...just thought I'd let you know, Aleister Crowley didn't write the Necronomicon. H.P. Lovecraft did. He scribed it under the psedonym of Simon. He actually wrote it to be a fiction piece to support his Cthulu mythos stories. He did use bits and pieces of magical teachings, but, all in all it is fiction. H.P. Lovecraft is a brilliant writer, however.
