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 Qabalistic 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

This text began in the work of the New Isis Lodge as they created what Kenneth Grant describes as tangential tantra a profound disturbance which lies between dreaming and dreamless sleep in the realm of Night. Much of this material had a Lovecraftian weirdness and intensity. It is chronicled here with a poetic immediacy that outlines the manifestations of the highest magical zone this side of the Abyss. A must for all students of the occult.

 

Zos Speaks!: Encounters With Austin Osman Spare by Kenneth Grant

 

 

 

Buy it in the USA

This book consists of two parts. The first is a collection of short letters by Spare and Kenneth & Steffi Grant, and also extracts from Kenneth Grant’s diaries, all written between 1949 and 1956, when Spare died, giving interpretations of Spare’s magical philosophy and his art in a perhaps less enigmatic way then his writings do. The second part is The Book of Zos vel Thanatos, containing The Logomachy, The Zoëtic Grimoire: The Formulae of Zos vel Thanatos and The Living Word, all later material by Spare published here for the first time. The book is filled to the brim with Spare's art, including some beautiful colour pictures. Spare was a major influence on contemporary magick and this book deepens one's understanding of him greatly.

 

Cults of the Shadow by Kenneth Grant

 

 

 

Buy it in the USA

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.

Outer Gateways by Kenneth Grant

 

 

 

Buy it in the USA

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.
