3. "Necromicon"

Is that a necromancers' convention perhaps? A dead comic convention?

7. It's the abridged version

It leaves out the part about al Azred being ripped apart by invisible demons just for reading page 237. :shrug:

6. Tibetan Book of the Dead

It could be said, that the whole process described in the TBoD is
after "death", and yet it is applicable as well to dying every moment
as in Zen and buddhism in general.

In the book, after death, you pass in to the purest clear light of
reality (dharma kaya), and if you can't handle it, passing down
down until a spectrum of light befits you. In so many words, it says
you can attain enlightenment NOW.

So, if you're asking about "cult appeal"... i dunno, but i would
not put those two texts in an either-or choice for ANY reason. They
are not related.

8. Gotta go with the work of that Mad Arab...

Abdul Alhazred (may his tribe increase!) An incredibly strange poem named "Moths" from the Necronomicon has haunted my dreams for lo these many years.

:hippie:
