From: Paul Hume Area: MagickNet To: Tyger 13 Jan 95 09:09:46 Subject: Hozroh UpdReq Tyger - Hozroh (and many other variant spellings trying to capture the Navaho pronunciation, I gather) is the concept of balance/harmony/beauty central to that tribe's beliefs. Illness, bad action, natural disaster, etc. result from falling out of this state, losing touch with it, or (worst) being under attack from beings opposed to it - "skinwalkers," usually referred to in english as "witches" or "sorcerors." The various sings and blessings of Navaho religion are designed to bring the participants back into hozroh, or into understanding of it, or contact with the proper condition.

Just about _any_ religious/mystical practice can send a person over the edge, but I think only if that person is about to go over the edge _anyway_. This includes Xtianity _and_ Wicca. As far as the Necronomicon (in it's many incarnations) goes: Take Simon's Necronomicon for example. It is solidly based on ancient Assyrian mythology and magickal practices. As such, it is no more or less "fic ticious" than the works of GHhardner, which are also a reconstruction based on mythicalfact _and_ fiction, assembled ny someone with an extensive background in ceremonial magic. Both Simon and Gardner's works rest on equally "solid" basis! So don't be so quick to dismiss Cthulhoid Magick as being "fictional", unless you're willing to subject Wicca (at least the Gardnerian/Alexandrian variety) to the same scrutiny! - J:.M:.555, Keeper of the Krawling Kaos! 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Tony Iannotti Area: MagickNet To: Fr.
