The Libro Lunarus is the holy book of the Lunar Children. The book is held with great care and only read to those that are deemed worthy. There supposedly exists only three copies of the Libro Lunarus - all of which were held within the library at The Spire prior to its destruction. Despite this, the Libro Lunarus has cropped up in several strange places throughout Johnisdead and is believed to hold some magical properties.

History

Not much is known about the origin of the Libro Lunarus. It is implied that, at some point, Hank Hubbard obtained the book and began writing beliefs pertaining to the Lunar Children within it.[1] At some point, two other copies of the Libro Lunarus were created. In 2010, Alex was sent to the Fishery where he stole a copy of the Libro Lunarus, bringing it back to the Moon Children.[2] It's implied that the Libro Lunarus possesses some magical properties, as obtaining this book seemingly led to Alex's mental decline.[3] This particular copy of the Libro Lunarus was recovered by SKM in 2011 on behalf of the Lunar Children, as seen in the video IMG_1427.

SKM is rewarded with a gas mask for his efforts. However, Drowned implies that it was possible that he was also granted a copy of the Libro Lunarus - as seen in the video this never happened.wmv. At some point, the Lunar Children began housing all three copies of the Libro Lunarus in The Spire's library. Here, only individuals that the Lunar Children deemed worthy were allowed to view the book during "Reading Sessions".[4]

A copy of the Libro Lunarus was used during the 2015 Blood Moon Ritual. This led to several Lunar Children being confused regarding the physical properties of the book, as the copy seen in bloodmoonritualpartone.wmv is a good deal larger than the other ones.[5] Later in the year, Jeremy allowed an outsider, sin_yarikh], to view an excerpt of the Libro Lunarus. This was highly forbidden and is possibly part of what led to his eventual death.[6]

After 2015, the exact movements of the Libro Lunarus are difficult to track. The book is briefly seen being held by a red-colored entity in the video Please Help in 2016. The book was also shown on the front page of Johnisdead.com in early 2017. Not long afterwards, the book appeared in the video So many still trapped. In 2020, three copies of the Libro Lunarus could be found floating behind a locked door near the library within the "Spire" Janus Room. Later on, graffiti referencing SKM's retrieval of the Libro Lunarus in 2011 were discovered in the attic of the "Spire" Janus room. Here, both the gas mask and the Libro Lunarus were seen surrounding a briefcase. Both were labelled "gift", but the Libro Lunarus was marked out.

When Dawn travelled to Tyler's house to retrieve the Helios Book, he discovered both it and the Libro Lunarus inside a briefcase in Tyler's home - as seen in the video halo.mp4. In 2022, the previously locked room in the "Spire" Janus room became accessible. The three copies of the Libro Lunarus had now been replaced by only one copy. Upon touching it, players would be trapped in a void where Jennifer would stare at them.

    • [12:51:10 AM] Jeremy J: Delusions I mostly followed, if for nothing else, due to my fondness of him.
  2. Alex is first mentioned stealing a copy of the Libro Lunarus here.
    • "Something is wrong with Ifrit, he has snapped and started killing people via drowning and electrocution (ascension patterns) and seems to be trying to transcend them under the lunar children teachings (just like what seems to have happened to Kelbris after he killed him 10 years ago) according to that book Alex brought us."
  3. The Libro Lunarus is speculated to have changed Alex here.
    • [12:44:23] .:@rem:. So he just wont talk at all anymore?
    • [12:46:21] .:@david:. nope nothing
    • [12:47:03] .:@david:. as much as I hate it we have beaten him fucking sensless now but he thinks we are all "part of his nightmare" or something
    • [12:47:45] .:@david:. what the hell did that book do to alex?
  4. Libro Lunarus reading sessions are first mentioned here.
    • 1_Tsukuyomi_1: "It has been a month now and I have been REALLY dedicated, when can I finally leave this world?" Ezekiel_thoth33: "Have you had access yet to the Libro Lunarus yet?"
    • 1_Tsukuyomi_1: "NO, keep getting denied permission from elders in the spire library, they act like I am a fucking outsider and I am tired of it."
    • Ezekiel_thoth33: "I will have to have a talk with the library managers then, you have been fully part of our family for an entire month now, you should have at least had access to a reading session a long time ago."
  5. Lunar Children can be seen discussing the physical properties of the book and its use in the Blood Moon Ritual here.
    • 2:04:28 PM tsukuyomi11: "It was just like any other book on the outside, really."
    • 2:04:32 PM tsukuyomi11: "Surprisingly thin, but packed with wisdom"
    • 2:04:37 PM Alignak: "What?"
    • 2:04:41 PM Alignak: "It looks pretty thick to me"
    • 2:04:43 PM Harry: "yeah isnt that what they used in the blood moon thing?"
    • 2:04:53 PM Harry: "for real, it looked like a dictionary to me"
    • 2:04:54 PM Harry: "pretty bulky and all"
    • 2:05:31 PM tsukuyomi11: "Okay, yes"
    • 2:05:35 PM tsukuyomi11: "The rite recited in the blood moon ritual is certainly an excerpt from the Libro Lunarus"
    • 2:05:37 PM tsukuyomi11: "Strange, I was told there were only the three copies"
  6. Sin_Yarikh claims that Jeremy allowed him to view the Libro Lunarus here.
    • sin_yarikh: "Fresh into the family as of 5 days ago. I didn't realize we were gonna have forums and everything, this is actually pretty cool. About me, Im a college drop out, fucking sick of my life. I hate my family and could not find any real aspirations for shit. Until my friends dad (also known around here as Jarilo333) told me about Luna. He let me look at a bit of The Libro Lunarus and I slowly began to realize that she is what I have been missing in my life. I am very excited about the concept of ascending and even now cannot wait to finally escape all of this shit I am surrounded by and be greeted by the infinite mind scape, the way in which we may all be gods."
    • kuu_32: "While we would usually be highly against exposure of sacred texts to outsiders, this was a special case in which Jarilo's bad judgement led quite luckily to a positive outcome. However I would recommend you never make a similar choice, for you own well being."
    • Ezekiel_thoth33: "We will need to have a word with him about this, but congratulations on finally finding your way to the truth child."
