Much to the chagrin of the occultists, some of us see Poe in a Christian light. When I read the "Ligeia" story, I see a Christian resurrection.
Misunderstood writer (and I promise not to turn your thread into a lit thread). But the guy didn't deserve the reputation he had. He was perverse and his perversity led him to name as executor of his estate, the one person who hated...the occultists and druggies have no idea what they're talking about in regards to Poe.
