    • Many sincere occultists have hesitated to study the notorious left hand path for fear of stumbling into incalculable evil and ultimate damnation. As the last student of Aleister Crowley, Kenneth Grant has no such hesitations. In he shows that the left hand path has no connection with black magic-it is a legitimate balance to the right hand path dating back to the primeval phases of consciousness. Grant leads us on a dark pathway through Africa's Ophidian (snake) tradition Egypt's Draconian cult and the Tantric secrets of India and Tibet into the present day.

      Cults of the Shadow
    • As Aleister Crowley's last magical student at Netherwood in the 1940's, Kenneth Grant has upheld a proud occult tradition through a lifetime of study practice and writing. This latest book is not only for experienced students of the occult; it is also excellent for those who are new to Grant's work. Here is Grant moving through magic and beyond to a new and controversial view of human evolution and the ultimate goal of Undivided Consciousness. Topics include the primal grimoire the unfamiliar spirit and the fourth power of the sphinx along with aspects of dream control and the wisdom of S'lba.

      Famed occultist Kenneth Grant continues his explorations of the left hand path in the compelling study that begins with the evolution of the Sephiroth of the Quabalistic Tree of Life. He delves into the almost unknown nightside of the tree ,finding evidence of extraterrestrial dimensions that, even now, stir our group unconscious in potentially dangerous ways. We must understand these powers, says Grant, for if they are not controlled, the violent disruptions which are already overtaking civilization will become pandemic.

      Nightside of Eden
    • Oblique to the paths that give on to other dimensions, and beyond them, there lies a region which the author has named the Mauve Zone. Mystics, magicians, sorcerers, alchemists, artists of many kinds have - over the centuries - skirted it, stumbled upon it, and fled from it. Very few have penetrated beyond it and survived, or cared to leave any record of the experience. Those that did, have had to present their accounts as fiction or discover a new means of communication - via weird art, symbols, hieroglyphics, signs which fellow pilgrims alone might recognise.Access to the Mauve Zone has been facilitated in more recent times by the use of magical systems developed by occultists such as Austin Osman Spare and Aleister Crowley, both of whom established contact with inter-dimensional entities possessed of transhuman knowledge and power. Both systems involve the use of sexual magick to open hidden gates that have remained sealed for centuries.

      Beyond the Mauve Zone
    • The Ninth Arch, featuring The Book of the Spider (OKBISh), concludes a series tracing the emergence of the Typhonian Tradition. To grasp its significance, readers should consider the broader context, which enhances understanding of the Oracles and their commentary. The author’s Nightside Narrative, Against the Light, serves as an explanatory reference for the period when OKBISh was received. The Oracles were communicated audibly and visually to members of New Isis Lodge between 1955 and 1962, with the current generating the material beginning as early as 1939. Aleister Crowley recognized the nascent Wisdom of S’lba in 1945 as an authentic communication, leading to the completion of the Wisdom and the extensive series of Oracles found in The Ninth Arch. The documentation method affirms the validity of serial qabalah, revealing a complex pattern of magical correspondences that indicate genuine contact with occult forces possessing knowledge of significant terrestrial events. The rigorous qabalistic exegesis demonstrates a direct connection to an ancient yet evolving Typhonian Gnosis. For those interested in the interplay between numerical and magico-mystical concepts, this volume offers a comprehensive thesaurus of the Typhonian Tradition. Additionally, the Oracles forewarn of impending events on Earth, urging readers to prepare and invoke the Sign of Protection against the Outer Forces poised to gain control. At this millennium

      The Ninth Arch
    • První svazek tří trilogií zabývajících se analýzou okultních tradic, které oživili adepti jako Crowley. Je zde pojednána ve vztahu ke svým starobylým zdrojům a porovnána s vývojovými etapami současného okultismu, které pomalu vyvíjejí novou gnózi, aby nahradily směšné a sterilní pověry, vzniklé z letitého nepochopení starých nauk. Magické obrození je cenným příspěvkem k okultní tradici a zásadním spisem, který je ve svém speciálním oboru pokládán za klasickou pramennou literaturu.

      Magické obrození
    • Aleister Crowley & der verborgene Gott ist eine Studie der Sexualmagick und dessen Affinitäten zu den alten tantrischen Riten der Kali, der dunklen Göttin des Blutes und der Auflösung, die in Crowleys Kult als die Scharlachfrau repräsentiert wird. Die Erweckung der Kundalini als die höchste magische Kraft durch die Crowley‘sche Sexualmagick invoziert den verborgenen Gott – den latenten Genius, der in jedem Menschen ruht. Aleister Crowley, Austin O. Spare, Dion Fortune und Gregor A. Gregorius waren die ersten Adepten, die im Westen den Gebrauch psychosexueller Energien lehrten, den ophitischen Kraftstrom, der in den ältesten Arkana Afrikas und des Fernen Ostens geprägt worden war. Kenneth Grant beschreibt eine Methode der Traumkontrolle, die den Gebrauch dieses ophitischen Kraftstroms beinhaltet. Dessen Gegenstand ist die Herstellung eines Kontaktes mit außerirdischen und nichtmenschlichen Wesen, mit dem Ziel, die Beschränkungen der Persönlichkeit zu transzendieren und kosmisches Bewusstsein zu erlangen, um so die magische Formel des Neuen Äons zu erfüllen.
