I'm still at the beginning.
Now, we know the first seven gates are the seven main chakras.
I'm not understanding is what are the eighth and ninth gate supposed to represent. The eighth is called Yuggoth and Daath, the ninth is called Krythnon.
The eighth gate is given 9 as number. Following the pattern of the previous gates, I suppose that's how many times the mantra is supposed to be vibrated. And the sigil given for it represents a scorpion, which makes me think it has something to do with the Zodiac sign, which co-rules the pineal gland, as far as I know.
The book further states about this gate that his element is ice and "the step upon the ladder of lights is dark purple." We know that in Norse mythology there were originally two worlds, one of ice (Nifleheim) and one of fire (Muspellheim). Now, regardless of what happens later, I see that their separation may signify the separation of masculine (pingala) and feminine (ida) or male and female chakras in the body. Darkest purple is some form of indigo. So it could be the pineal gland as I said earlier or, as the order of the opening the soul meditations on JoS suggests, the sixth chakra itself.
Reading the JoS sermons, Daath symbolises sexual union between the male and female parts of the soul that then creates the new soul, which is consistent with the symbolism of Scorpio, a water sign with an inner fire, also ruler of sex. This sexual union is done by the ascension of the kundalini. Daath also relates to the fifth world of spirit.
Back to Scorpio, this Zodiac sign is ruled by Pluto, right? We have the Eiws rune which is like Pluto. Eiws represents the kundalini force and can be used in rising the kundalini. The rune also represent one step of the Magnum Opus, that of the allegorical death and rebirth.
My ultimate guess is that this eight gate represents the kundalini.
The ninth gate is not talked about and it's thus not given a number and neither a sigil.
I'd like to know what everyone thinks of these two gates, especially those who are familiar with the Necronomicon. Whether you agree or disagree with my thesis, your input is welcome.
As a reminder, this is the reason while it got interested in it:
The other reason is that I experimented with the names on the Necronomicon Spellbook and those have proven quite powerful for me.

For a full article regarding the authenticity of the Necronomicon, click here. When working with these mediations, you will find the Necronomicon is very real and very powerful. The title "Necronomicon" translates into "Book of Dead Names." This is not a book of necromancy. Only the uninitiated believe it as such, or worse, total fools believe it to be a "work of fiction," but in fact, it is a grimoire of instructions for opening the soul, using vibrations [the names]. The names are "dead" in the sense that they have not been used in thousands of years, especially with the coming of the false programs of Christianity and Islam. Unlike the many mainstream and popular methods of opening the chakras, instructed with opening from the base up [which is extremely unwise and very dangerous], this little book gives very accurate and safe methods and is even more precise and detailed with opening the chakras at their own optimal times in accordance with the planets that rule them.
