                    The first mention of the Necronomicon was in H. P. Lovecrafts short story The Hound and while Lovecraft insisted that it was a work of pure fiction who's title came to him in a dream many believe it to be true. The Necronomicon that we're looking into today is known as The Simon Necronomicon and is a patchwork mixing middle eastern mysticism with the writings of H. P. Lovecreft and Aleister Crowley. Simon insisted that the book was a genuine collection of magic rituals that predate modern religions.

                  This week we have been very busy with life outside of podcasting and while we do have more of the content you expect from us in the works we didn't feel like it was ready to publish. Rather than give you awesome weirdos something we didn't think was complete we decided to have some fun and ask each other some questions and see just how weird our answers would be.

Pack your speedo and arm floaties for this one.

                   Between 1912 and 1937 Patience Worth would write several books and a ton of poetry from beyond the grave. Patience allegedly lived in the 1600's and you're probably wondering how a ghost became a published author, through a Ouija board thats how. A woman named Pearl Curran would use the board to talk to Patience and then copy her stories down and have them published using the spirits name rather than her own.
