The original information in this article was copied and pasted directly from: http://www.digital-brilliance.com/necron/necron.htm

However, that is a site by a Lovecraft fan and is not credible in the least. --Tannhaus 21:25, 30 November 2006 (CST)

The powers that be will probably kill this page unless we tie it into the LG story line. In general this can best be done by relating it to Crowley. I always enjoy your critical and educated input but as much as possible try and tie things into LG. A positive association is probably as good as a negative one.....as long as there is some linkage. Personally I have no objection to more general information but it takes too much effort to fight for the suvival of pages that dont have any connection to the story like, so please try to help in anyway you can.--modelmotion 21:40, 30 November 2006 (CST)

I understand...but this is a dead end. There IS no linkage to Crowley...at all. That website was obviously written by a lovecraft fan and is a little tongue in cheek. It's the same as the Kathulu majik thing. I'd have no problem relating something that is somehow relateable. But, this just isn't. --Tannhaus 21:48, 30 November 2006 (CST)

I just checked also...the "source" for that anti-faq apparently doesn't even exist. It says it was compiled using information from "The Book of the Arab" by Justin Geoffry and published by Starry Wisdom Press. However, Starry Wisdom Press appears to be a fictional publishing company which is, itself, part of the Cthulu mythos: http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:aMWyFzKyQvkJ:dracandros.com/Jebgarg/Nidoking/cthuchrono.htm+%22Starry+Wisdom+Press%22&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=10&lr=lang_en

Also, "The Book of the Arab" is another name for the Necronomicon. In other words, this is all fictional and tongue-in-cheek...meant to amuse, not be taken as fact.--Tannhaus 22:08, 30 November 2006 (CST)

I am certainly not trying to insult Thelema. However I am trying to interpret information that i find on the internet. Information that other users are likely for find!!! I think our current version is a fair balance. Remember that some of use are trying to understand concepts that we have only recently encountered and at times its difficult to grasp the big picture. Perhaps you can discuss that furher in your next video. I will be the first to watch and learn!--modelmotion 22:36, 30 November 2006 (CST)

Part of interpreting information you find on the internet is separating fact from fiction. However, the source you quoted is entirely fiction. Including it as a factual source is in no way helpful, but is instead a misrepresentation of the truth. --Tannhaus 23:00, 30 November 2006 (CST)
