I think you are grasping at straws, but nice job on how committed you are to relaying your interpretation.
NORG was a big part of the plot in a subtle way. The encounter with NORG portrays him in a very Satan-like fashion; bethroned and short on mannerisms. It is implied that Garden wouldn't have existed without NORG's funding; in a way, Cid sold his soul to the devil. The Magic Lamp is a "receipt" of the transaction. It is safe to assume that NORG was a co-conspirator in the plan to end the sorceress(es). Garden can be used as an allegory of Genesis.
