[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cargile: [QB] I just checked. There are only TWO, that's one, two, evil spells in the book. One is a conjuration of the Dead Ones, the other an Invocation of the Powers. On the other hand there are many spells to bind, exorcise, and protect against evil spirits and the such. To me saying the book is evil is like saying the Bible is evil because it has passages of violence and evil doing. Thusly the Bible should give you vibes as well, Then there is the alternative view that you are evil and the Goodness of the Necronomicon is repelling you. Yeah, I think the Necronomicon originated from some ancient text, and, like all acient text, was altered in the translations from one language and ideals to the next. I doubt there exists one unmodified passage in that book that is sold at Walden's and Barns and Noble's. I think we'd have a hard time reading and an impoosible task of correctly pronouncing the original cuniform. I like the book because of its historic, if not flawed, look back at our oldest recorded civiliation's beliefs. And I like to see if any of the mythology can be applied to science fiction. Marduk destroys Tiamat and creates the Earth with the body. One way of looking at this is to see Taimat not as an evil creature, but as a first generation star, destroyed, by either natural causes or deliberate causes orchestrated by an intelligence. Our solar system forms from the remains. If you remove the mystism from the book, it takes on a different light. [/QB][/QUOTE]
