On this episode we cover the works and life of the literarypioneer and father of modern occult media HP Lovecraft and morespecifically his most famous creation, the fabled Book of the Deadknown as the Necronomicon. The Necronomicon gave birth to the Cult of Cthulhu and much ofLovecrafts other work has spawned other such horror staples, all ofwhich have entered the cultural consciousness and blurred the linesof reality between his vivid and disturbing fictions and theterrifying facts of the very real practice of black magic. Through the use of archaic magic texts known as Grimoires to thesecret societies versed in voodoo and devil worship we'll look intothe heart of the dark arts. Covering ancient tales of Arabian Djinn to the modern lore ofnecromancy and Wicca, we'll pull back the pages of the stories ofsorcery and alchemy that have inspired work from South Park toBlack Sabbath. From historic evidence to modern investigation and Harry Houdinito Aleister Crowley we'll cover the tangled tale of theNecronomicon and Black Magick.
