Biography
He was president of the international division of Ortronics, Inc., a telecommunications company based in Asia. Levanda lives in Miami, Florida.
He appeared in the TNT documentary, Faces of Evil, in his role as an expert on Nazi history with special regard to the occult and esoteric practices. He has also appeared on the History Channel special, Nazi Prophecies.
Simon Necronomicon
It appears that Lavenda is also "Simon", the author of The Simon Necronomicon--a purported grimoire that derives its title from H.P. Lovecraft's fictional Necronomicon featured in Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos stories. The assessment of Peter Levanda as the author of the Simon Necronomicon is based upon the following sources:
The U. S. Copyright Office registration for Simon's Gates of the Necronomicon lists the author as "Peter Levenda, whose pseudonym is Simon".[1]
On the radio program "Coast-to-Coast AM", Sunday May 10th, 2009 Peter Levenda was asked directly by the host, Ian Punnett if Peter was in fact "Simon", Peter denied it. Mr. Levenda did acknowledge working on the book with Simon. Ian Punnett made a reference to interviewing "Simon" and mentioned "Peter Levenda" similarities and asked Peter to "say hello to Simon for him, next time he saw him". Peter laughed and said that he would.
In the article, "The Doom That Came to Chelsea",[2] Alan Cabal describes his inside information on the genesis of the Necronomicon as well as the New York Occult scene that he and Levenda/Simon were a part of.
