Anyone ever notice how much an apostrophe looks like a nit? Why does such a little insignificant thing get a name that sounds like that of a Greek muse? You guys's comments would be appreciated. Hideo, All due respect to the differences of cultures (Kultur Klufts) -- "Kabara" should read "Kaballah" or "Caballah". Also I would suggest reconsidering the repeated use of the term "occult" with its dark connotations of unholy alliances, Satanism, and seances where the studies of mythology, hermeticism, alchemy, gnosticism and metaphysics have the greater bearing on the subject at hand i.e. Ezra Pound. See Pounds opinion of Alister Crowley for example. Incidently, to a secular humanist there is nothing inherently "evil" about questioning the fantasies and assumptions of the Judeo-Xtn tradition. It would behoove us to remain objective. "All the Jew part of the Bible is black evil." (E.P. 1940) CDM
