The initiation. But what we can do is apply magickal principles to Kenneth Grant 23 May — 15 January was an English ceremonial magician and prominent advocate of the Thelemic religion. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

That the Typhonian Tradition and the Merovingian Tradition share the same important symbols seems to be much more then a mere coincidence. Typhonian Tomes bibliotecapleyades. One of the most famous — yet least understood — manifestations of Thelemic thought has been the works of Kenneth Grant, the British occultist and one-time intimate of Aleister Crowley, who and Egyptology, Confucianism, Daoism, and Afro-Caribbean magic, as well as the more-familiar Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Buy Dark Lord: H. This is a good example of Grant spoiling his own work with obscure presentation. There is also an analysis of H. Lovecraft as a reluctant visionary of the Typhonian Current. He still rarely gives his sources and this time does not even bother with a bibliography. The obscure jargon is well-represented, however, with such words as "adumbration," "exudations," "bodies-forth," "equinoctial colure," "teratoma," "the type of," "glyphed as," and "transdivine.

It is probably just as well that it is "not designed as a manual of practical Magick. If this were a comedy segment on The Late Show with David Letterman, Paul Shaffer would come up with some campy Vegas-esque theme-music for the occasion, something like this:.

Yeah, those crazy Cults, Those crazy, crazy, crazy Cults of the Shadow-w-w-w! So if the Reader will supply the music we may proceed. This time he presents his interpretation of several such "Cults" Grant has a perverse affection for lurid terminology and attempts to show them as parts of one primordial Current. This part is quite interesting and well done, but Grant spoils it by insisting that these are the prototypes of the Ancient Egyptian pantheon. There is just not enough resemblance; and if there were, would it not make more sense if the ancient Egyptian Gods were the ancestors of the modern African deities?

After all, just because African religions are supposedly "primitive" does not mean they have remained unchanged for 6,plus years. He maintains that Hindu Tantra was imported from Egypt, citing some implausible bits of etymology to prove it: Egyptian "Bast" and "Sekhmet" to Sanskrit "Pashu" and "Shakti" for example. While this may look good in print at first glance, Ancient Egyptian and Sanskrit are very different languages from very different families, and the actual pronunciation of Egyptian is far from certain anyway.

So it will take more than a few lucky similarities to convince me. Grant still focuses on one Tantric Tradition to the exclusion of all others. He also performs some rather odd feats of logical gymnastics. He joins orthodox Tantrics in denouncing Prayoga, whereby intercourse is had with Succubi , yet he later advocates his personal method of "dream-control" which involves exactly that!

Finally he comes to more contemporary sects with two chapters on Crowley and Thelema which he insists on calling " The Cult of the Beast. Grant states that the O. By Achad decided that Crowley was "unable" to utter the Word for the Aeon of Horus because, having identified himself with the Beast, he became "inarticulate. Achad is an excellent example of "ego-abcess" and paranoid obsession, besides being the first Thelemic "heretic.

This is a theoretically Voudon-oriented group centered in Chicago. I say "theoretically" because there is little recognizable Voudon in it; Bertiaux is incredibly eclectic and has a fetish for pseudo-technical jargon that must be seen to be believed. Grant quotes mostly Lovecraft-oriented material in this section. For those keeping score here are the new ones: "efflorescence," "Uranography," "co-types," "infra-liminal vibration," "audile," "comports," and the truly amazing "sexo-somniferous magnetization.

Spare to was almost certainly the greatest occult artist of the last century, as well as being a powerful Magician who devised his own highly effective system of thaumaturgy. He has had considerable influence, especially on the Chaos Magick movement, even though his few published writings are couched in a very obscure and idiosyncratic style, besides being hard to find in the first place.

Shockingly enough, he turns out to be Kenneth Grant. Grant has a firm grasp on this material that he lacks in other areas and he presents matters clearly and succinctly.

The first half of the book is a brief biography and character sketch of Spare that gives one a clear sense of knowing the man.

Let us rejoice in this miraculous defiance of universal degeneration. I spoke too soon! Since this was written Summer, e. Grant has been dropped by Skoob and is once more without a publisher. V: Nightside of Eden Muller , Skoob Tradition, and the "Nightside," or "back" of the Tree, which is the source of the Qlippoth.

The Qlippoth are normally said to form an upside-down Tree depending from Malkuth and are to be avoided at all costs. Grant, however, considers them to be a dark "mirror image" in Universe B, a "non-existent" reality underlying our normal Universe A. Here, instead of the Paths, we find the strangely looping "Tunnels of Set" winding their way through the "dream-cells" of the collective unconscious.

This realm consists not of "evil spirits," but of the most ancient atavisms that may be accessed by the intrepid Magicians in quest of knowledge and power. The means for doing this are provided by the sigils in Liber utilized in conjunction with sexual Magick. He does not give, or even mention, the "Dayside" material at all. Perhaps there was some worry about copyright infringement if the entire Liber was included, but I suspect that this omission reflects an overall tendency of his to concentrate on the "dark side" of Magick to the exclusion of all else.

The entire first half of the book is a long, rambling, disjointed collection of weird Qabalistic goo that generally leaves one wondering just what the point is. As for the text itself, we learn among other things, that the O. He also seems determined to reduce every possible Deity to an aspect of Set, no matter how unlikely the subject.

It is as if he cannot see any way to invoke the Tunnels except through fear. Part Two is more coherent, simply because it follows the very obvious structure of discussing each of the twenty-two Tunnels in turn.

The sigil of each guardian is given along with a few pages describing its nature and powers. Much of this is simply taken from Grant puts special emphasis on the specific type of sexual Magick worked by the adepts of each Tunnel, thus making this a comprehensive, if overly specific grimoire.

He goes on for so long about how Moon-Blood is the true original sacrament and how it breeds abhorrent monsters in the Aether that it seems both offensive and ridiculous. Whilst reading this book, I thought at first that Grant had finally run out of perplexing words. In fact, it was just that he was saving his strength for a supreme effort of amazing proportions.

Here we are faced with "discreted," "insee," "teratomas," "appertained," "entifying" and its cousin, "entification," "expatiating," the "inferior Hebdomad" and the "superior Hebdomad," "advert to," "aduced," "impubescent," "equipollence," "pre-eval," "olid," "keraunograph," and the ultimate "excrementious manifestation.

Those wishing to explore the mysteries of Liber are directed to The Shadow Tarot by Linda Falorio and Fred Fowler, available from Black Moon Publishing, which provides a far superior treatment of this same material. Some of the participants had their photocopies of Part One out of order and did not notice the fact until they specifically looked at the page numbers!

In some of his earlier books Grant touched on the later work of Frater Achad; namely his proclamation of the "Aeon of Maat" to supercede the Aeon of Horus. From the opening chapters, it would seem that Grant has accepted Achad"s assertion that Crowley "failed to utter a Word for the Aeon of Horus.

I would describe it, but it really must be experienced: the numbing sensation is unique. He sort of ties this book in with Nightside of Eden by refering to some transmitted writing called the Qabalas of Besqul which he declines to quote or describe in any detail.

Here I must say that I am operating with Inside Information, as I personally know someone who was involved in those Workings.

Incedentally, none of those involved had been in his order at the time of the Workings, something Grant just manages to not quite make clear. Indeed, with her "intergalactic transmissions," time-travel, planetary gestalt race-conciousnesses and the "Comity of Stars 8 ," she often sounds like a UFO channeler who took a wrong turn on the way to Sedona. This picture, which Crowley called "The Soul of a Tibetan Lama," does bear a strong resemblance to some descriptions of UFO aliens, and Grant stretches this for a lot more than it is worth.

The "Forgotten Ones" are apparently primal atavisms in the human racial unconciousness that were sealed away at some point and are now returning because modern nuclear explosions have re-opened the gateway.

The Elder Gods are the Maatians not Martians! Certainly there are more than enough new strange words to satisfy anyone. We get "undistortedly," "sub-cthonian," "imbibition," "id-entifier," "kalography," "astronomical plenilune," "oneiric perichoresis," "Voodic," "blent," "lucubration," and the rather puzzling "co-sexual.

Grant seems to have hit a fallow period in the Eighties, publishing nothing after Outside the Circles of Time in He now returns with a new publisher and even weirder stuff for his fans. This book seems to have a split personality. Partly it is an account of certain Workings at his "New Isis Lodge" in the Fifties and early Sixties, and partly it is the usual strange meanderings where he attempts to turn Liber AL into the Necronomicon! At least this suits his breathless and disjointed narrative style, not to mention the aforesaid Workings.
