The record
The "Necronomicon Tarot" marks the completion of author Donald Tyson's trilogy honoring H.P. Lovecraft, a highly innovative occult writer. The first two parts of this trilogy consisted of "Necronomicon - The Wanderings of Alhazred" and "Alhazred". Note: Abdul Alhazred is portrayed as a mad scientist who is off on many magical adventures. The deck itself is populated by gruesome gods, sinister monsters, and all seven rulers of the Old Ones (from the book "Necronomicon"). The symbolism presented here reflects astrological and elemental associations, as well as the structure of the Golden Dawn. I want to make note here that illustrator Anne Stokes has done an excellent job of bringing together the essence of H.P. Lovecraft's work, along with the storyline presented by Donald Tyson, into a stunning deck. The kit includes a box that opens the long way (for easy access to the deck and book), a 78 card deck, a black organdy bag for the deck, and two extra cards one listing the elemental associations for the Court Cards, and one listing the elemental associations for the Major Arcana, along with a companion book (Secrets of the Necronomicon). The companion book is a book - approximately 5
