“…The conceptual ideal of cosmic good is often confused with naturalness; of course, many things in nature could be quantified as evil. A Druid would be compelled to drive an angel from the world for the same reason he could not allow a fiend to run rampant on the material plane. Practitioners of the bleak art, Necromagia, must confront this false good/evil dichotomy before they can hope to achieve a modicum of success. It is much more salient to consider the idea of good as a matter of interaction – whether we are good is measured by whether or not we can help one another and our selves; whether we are useful to others; and whether we have something productive to contribute to the world at large. With the bleak art, we can protect our homes and villages from the predation of our neighbors without sacrificing the lives of the youngest members of our society; we can automate simple and manual tasks to free our minds and our lives to pursue loftier professions and heights of expression; we can even stave off the death of the mind and preserve our greatest thinkers and artisans to continue into eternity working for the betterment of all. In this profession, there is power, and the potential for great wrong-doing; but with a modicum of responsibility on our parts, there is the potential for limitless good…”
