Hi Jack, Welcome to the group. Just wanted to put you straight on teh Necronomicon (For your own piece of mind), it is a fictional work by horror legend H.P.Lovecraft and despite his known associations with Crowley et al was always publicly dismissive of the Occult. There are clear references to genuine occult elements within the Necronomicon, but it was created as a spoof - take it very much with a pinch of salt ;-) Either way, glad to hear your enjoying IIH - I wish you well with it!
