The Masks of Nyarlathotep

The Nyarlathotep Book: The Crawling Chaos by Daemon Barzai
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nyalatherotep is the psycho pomp of the gods in HP Lovecrafts mythos. He is the messenger or go between for mankind and the gods. Often times he comes to Earth amassing followers to help his fellow gods. At times he is a messenger for Dagon, Yog Sogut and Cthulhu. His most famous role was the man in black who presided over witches sabbats. He was also the Black pharoah of Egypt. If you see him manifested in this planet he will usually be cloaked in a robe covering his face. He moves around via tentacles.

Now just so we are clear, HP Lovecraft was a fiction writer and supposedly all his characters are fictitious as well. The Necronomican was a fictitious grimoire that is referenced through out Lovecrafts work. Back in the 70's someone generated a Necronomicon. Since then Chaos magicians have been working with this current and working with the deities. This book is geared towards gnosis and obtaining information from the gods. This is not a spellbook.

This book is about Nyaratherotep and his 999 masks. This book focus on several of them. There is a brief description as to what function the mask serves. Then the reader is given invocations and meditations to work with.
