As Nostradamus himself puts it in Quatrains 1 & 2: . A slight flame comes out of the emptiness and makes successful that which should not be believed in vain.

It was an act of sheer folly for Wormius to translate and print the Necronomicon. The book must have held an obsessive fascination for the man. Johann Tritheim, Abbot of Spanheim (better known as . The. accompanying letter contained a detailed and blasphemous interpretation of certain. Book of Genesis. Virtually all the copies of Wormius's translation. Vatican Library. Almost one hundred years later, in 1. Wormius's Latin translation surfaced. Prague. John Dee (left), the famous English magician, and his assistant Edward.

Parts of the Necronomicon were translated into Hebrew (probably in 1. Nathan of Gaza, mystical. Sabbatai Tzevi. This version was titled the Sepher. Sha'are ha- Daath, (the Book of the Gates of Knowledge). The story. surrounding this version is so unusual that it is treated fully below (see Who was Nathan of Gaza). There are many modern fakes masquerading as the Necronomicon. They can be recognised by. Alhazred possessed in abundance. The book is best known for its antediluvian speculations. Alhazred appears to have had. Genesis or. the apocryphal Book of Enoch, or disguised as mythology in other sources, are. Alhazred may have used dubious magical techniques to clarify the. Greek writers such as Thucydides a. His speculations are remarkably modern, and this may account for his current. He believed that many species besides the human race had inhabited the Earth. He shared with some Neoplatonists the. He was also. convinced that he had contacted beings he called the . He. interpreted this belief (most surprisingly!) in the light of the Apocalypse of St. John. but reversed the ending so that the Beast triumphs after a great war in which the earth is. According to Alhazred, the. Old Ones were beings from . They were superhuman and extrahuman. They mated with humans and begat. They passed forbidden knowledge to humankind. They were forever. This is virtually identical to the Jewish tradition of the Nephilim (the giants of Genesis. The word literally means . The story in Genesis is only a fragment of. Book of Enoch. Unwilling to act individually, they swore an oath and bound. Their wives bore giant offspring. The giants turned against nature. The fallen angels taught how to make weapons. These separate legends are elaborated in later Jewish sources such as the Talmud. Enoch and Genesis refer to the same tradition. The. great flood of Genesis was a direct response to the evil caused by humankind's. The fallen angels were cast out and bound: . And I saw something horrible: I saw. And. there I saw seven stars of the heaven bound together in it, like great mountains, and. Then I said: 'For what sin have they been bound, and on what account. Then said Uriel, one of the holy angels who was with me. Enoch, why dost thou ask, and why art thou eager for. These are the number of the stars of heaven which have transgressed the. Lord, and are bound here till ten thousand years, the time entailed by. The Djinn were created. Some traditions make them a lesser race than human beings, but folk- tales. Djinn survive to this day. Arabian Nights and Disney's Aladdin. Islam has. subordinated the Djinn to the Koran, and like elves and fairies they have lost. In Alhazred's time. Djinn were still current, and Arab magicians. It is now generally agreed by occult scholars that the Enochian system of Dee and Kelly. Necronomicon which deal with. Alhazred's techniques for evoking the Old Ones. It must be remembered that the Necronomicon. Dee and Kelly had to fill in many details themselves, so their system is a. Necronomicon and techniques of their own invention. There seems little doubt that the Sigellum Dei Aemeth (above), the Enochian. Enochian Calls or Keys are authentic borrowings, and we must doubt Dee's. Kelly received them from the archangel Uriel. Bulwer Lytton, who studied Dee's. Necronomicon in the last century, asserts bluntly that they were. Uriel, then it was. Alhazred who did the receiving! The very name of their system, . The. manuscript of the Book of Enoch was lost until the late 1. There is. no doubt that Alhazred would have had access to the Book of Enoch, as it was. Middle East in the ninth century. Another clue can be found in the Call of the Thirty Aethyrs, the nineteenth of. Enochian Calls. Aleister Crowley called this Call. It is uttered as if by God, and is an. It repenteth me that I have made. Man. This verse immediately follows the verses which describe the evil done by the. Nephilim and the resulting sinfulness of the world, and it is followed by God's decision. Aleister Crowley, using his immense. Bible, recognised the Call of the Thirty Aethyrs for what it was. God's curse on the Nephilim and the evil they had caused. It was this curse which cast. Abyss. It is difficult to underrate this clue. To summarise: the key or gate to exploring the. Aethyrs is a Call in the Enochian language, said by Dee to be the language. Call is the curse by which the Nephilim were assigned to. Abyss in the first place. This is consistent with an age- old practice for controlling. This formula is used in almost every. In some cases the magician is quite explicit in naming precisely those. The entry into the. Aethyrs begins with a divine curse because it is a means to assert control over the. Nephilim. This establishes. Enochian system of Dee and Kelly was identical in spirit, and. Alhazred as described in the Necronomicon. One of his most important pieces of magical work (recorded in The. Vision and the Voice) was his attempt to penetrate the Aethyrs using the Enochian Calls. He chose the desert for this work because he had had. Aethyr during his initial investigations in Mexico. Alhazred's praxis as closely as possible. Alhazred carried out his. Rub al Khali, a vast and empty. Arabia - the remoteness from other human beings helped to. Aethyrs. Crowley had. Alhazred's account (see below) and it was in his nature to attempt. Richard Burton, the explorer, adventurer, writer, linguist. Recent. research has revealed a bizarre and completely unexpected link. In Norse myth the gods of the earth and humankind, the Aesir and Vanas, exist against a. Great Abyss Ginnunga- gap, and also by Loki (fire) and his. At Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods, these old powers return once. Most deadly of these adversaries is Surtur and the fire. Muspelheim, who complete the destruction of the world. This is essentially Alhazred's prophecy of the return of the Old Ones. This is. Crowley's prophecy of the Aeon of Horus, the god of conquering fire. The fire giants of. Muspelheim are none other than the Djinn, and it is even plausible that Surtur is a. Surturiel. Uriel, the angel set to watch over the Nephilim, is named after. Hebrew word for fire. Like Surtur, he carries a fiery sword. Uriel comes up again and again in connection with the Necronomicon. While ostensibly. Presence of God, there is a shadow side which surfaces. Nephilim or commands them.
