The little gray aliens have been taking people from Earth for thousands of years. When a pilot kidnapped from Earth crash lands one of their ships in the Thayan Empire, an empire populated by millions of humans with Earth ancestry living side by side with the tall, furry, felinoid Thayans, the Thayan government decides it's time to find Earth and do something about the reaping. The Thayans didn't count on help from magic-wielding Earthers.
By breath of Air, By breath of Earth, May the dead rise and smell the incense, Let the drum sound for all eternity!

Anointed: A Devotional Anthology for the Deities of the Near and Middle East
Authored by Bibliotheca Alexandrina
Edited by Tess Dawson

A collection of poems, essays, rituals, recipes, meditations and works of art in honor of the many Gods and Goddesses of the Near and Middle East.
This is a site dedicated the Sumerian pantheon, and contains texts, rituals, commentary, fiction from the webmistress, not the Necronomicon or Sitchen. I work with university taught material only, with a little speculation of my own based on that material. Authors credited are Samuel Noah Kramer, Thorkild Jacobsen, James Pritchard, Black and Green, mainly.

There will be NO positive discussions of Sitchen or the Necronomicon on this site. All works of fiction are under the fiction link. Sitchen was an idiot.
