Revision as of 02:10, 8 June 2022

For maximum effectiveness, the Necronomicon meditations must be performed according to the planets. The dates and times listed below some of the meditations are given in Greenwich Time [Universal Time]. These meditations were taken from the 1586 copy of the Necronomicon. For a full article regarding the authenticity of the Necronomicon, click here. When working with these meditations, you will find the Necronomicon is very real and very powerful. The title "Necronomicon" translates into "Book of Dead Names." This is not a book of necromancy. Only the uninitiated believe it as such, or worse, total fools believe it to be a "work of fiction," but in fact, it is a grimoire of instructions for opening the soul, using vibrations [the names]. The names are "dead" in the sense that they have not been used in thousands of years, especially with the coming of the false programs of Christianity and Islam. Unlike the many mainstream and popular methods of opening the chakras, instructed with opening from the base up [which is extremely unwise and very dangerous], this little book gives very accurate and safe methods and is even more precise and detailed with opening the chakras at their own optimal times in accordance with the planets that rule them.

Necronomicon Meditation for Opening the Third Eye

The following meditation must be performed during a powerful waxing full Moon. The Moon should not be debilitated or in its sign of detriment [Capricorn] or fall [Scorpio]. This meditation is most powerful when performed with a powerful full Moon, when the moon is in its home sign of Cancer or when it is exalted in the sign of Taurus, otherwise, you will be wasting your time. The ancients knew patience in regards to power.

This meditation must be done at night and preferably directly under the light of the full Moon.

  1. Sit quietly and focus on your third eye.
  2. Breathe in and on the exhale, chant Nanna: N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-AH-AH-AH-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-AH-AH-AH
  3. It is very important to FEEL the chant in your third eye so adjust the tone accordingly.
  4. Do not try to force your breathing. Feel free to take extra breaths in-between the chanting.
  5. Do this 30 times.
  6. Visualize your third eye with silver light projecting. The color of the Third Eye is silver

STEPS ONE THROUGH SIX SHOULD ALL BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME AND AS ONE STEP.

7. When you are finished with the vibration, meditate for a few minutes the sigil.

Necronomicon Throat Chakra Mediation

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS MEDITATION UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY PERFORMED IT ON YOUR THIRD EYE. It must be done on any of the dates given below. Mercury must be powerful or you will be wasting your time. Mercury should be in its home signs of Gemini or Virgo or its exalted sign of Aquarius. Never perform this meditation when Mercury is retrograde, or in the signs of Sagittarius, Pisces or Leo.

All at once:

  1. Fold your hands, but extend your little fingers at the ends and connect them, all the way down, the little fingers and the Mercury mounts of your palms should be solidly connected.
  2. Focus on your throat chakra and visualize it as a spinning blue vortex.
  3. Breathe in energy directly from the full Moon into your throat chakra.
  4. Chant/vibrate "NEBO” on the exhale. You need to adjust your pitch to *feel* it in your throat chakra. Chant this with one long exhale. N-N-N-AY-AY-AY-B-B-B-B-OH-OH-OH-OH
    • Chant this 12 times, while focusing on your throat chakra and holding the mudra with your hands. This mediation should be performed under the waxing full Moon, when Mercury is most powerful.

When you are finished with the vibration, meditate for a few minutes on the sigil.


VARIATION: I had much success with chanting “NINNGHIZHIDDA.” Thoth [Ninnghizhida] rules the throat chakra of communication.

My advice is to choose whichever chant you feel attracted to.

  2. Breathe in energy and visualize it lighting up with white light. "Her color is purist white."
  3. On the exhale, drop your head so you can feel the vibration in your heart chakra, but not tight, just resting and vibrate/chant Inanna: “E-E-E-E-E-E-N-N-N-N-A-A-A-A-A-H-H-H-H-H-N-N-N-N-N-A-A-A-A-H-H-H-H-H.”
