Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. GRANT, STEFFI (illustrator). 1st Edition. HB - 2nd. Starfire Print (2022) (Limited to 1500 copies) NEW/NEW - During the rituals of New Isis Lodge (1955-1962) it was noted that not all of them achieved the object for which they were performed. The exceptions had curious and often alarming side-effects which the author calls 'tangential tantra'. It was discovered that these anomalies effected a rapprochment with highly charged dimensions existing between the realms of dreaming and dreamless sleep. This catalytic interface Grant calls the Mauve Zone. The weird nature of these phenomena suggested parallels with H. P. Lovecraft's Cycle of Myths extrapolated in the fabulous Necronominon, and its affinity with Mauve Zone magick is here meticulously explored. Many years of research then led to an interpretation, in terms of this magick, of Aleister Crowley's The Book of the Law. Also explored are seemingly related phenomena in the work of another contemporary, Michael Bertiaux, whose independent discoveries show evidence of traffic with alien beings of Intelligence and Power. Crowley saw contact with such entities as "the only chance for mankind to advance as a whole".

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. GRANT, STEFFI (illustrator). 1st Edition. Hardcover - 1st. Starfire Print (Limited to 1500 copies) NEW/NEW - "The earler themes of Grant's series of Typhonian trilogies are here related, intensified and developed. The unearthly provenance of such disturbing messages as The Necronomicon is reaffirmed, leading to a cognate treatment of Crowley's reception of The Book of the Law and re-interpretation of that book's implications in the light of the Typhonian Tradition. This volume concludes with a haunting transmission - Wisdom of S'lba - received in New Isis Lodge under circumstances outside usually accepted magical procedures, and subsequently translated into terrestrial language.".

Print (Limited to 750 copies) NEW/NEW - An idle fancy sparked by curiosity opens a door on darkness . . . On learning that an ancestor was executed for witchcraft in the sixteenth century, the narrator is prompted to explore her history. Research having failed, he resorts to magical means and exposes an array of malefic forces poised to invade the Earth. In a deserted Welsh ruin he discovers a grimoire revealing traffic between alien entities and their terrestrial agents. Rumored to have lain for centuries in the custody of a Scottish clan, the grimoire?s existence is known to very few. Among them are powerful occultists such as Aleister Crowley and Phineas Black, desperately tracking it down. The grimoire alone holds the keys ? and the Sign of Protection. A chimera? An allegory? More aptly, a Warning. Civilization is careering to destruction: it may find the Sign ? or, the Seal of its doom . .

Starfire Enhanced Edition - Second Impression (2024 Print) - NEW/NEW - ."Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God is an exhaustive and critical study of of Crowley's system of sexual magick and the strange rites he practiced and advocated for the purpose of promoting the law of freedom and its formula of "Love under Will".

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. GRANT, STEFFI (illustrator). 1st Edition. Hardcover - 1st. Starfire Enhanced Edition (2020 Print) - NEW/NEW - "A detailed analysis of certain occult traditions which existed long before the Christian epoch, survived its persecutions and anathemas, and reappeared in recent times with renewed vigor. Sexual magick and mysterious rites have always been practiced; drugs and other substances have constantly been used to induce ecstasy, to produce visions and to facilitate traffic with the denizens of other worlds or planes of consciousness; but an initiated rationale of the process such as presented here has been rarely forthcoming. The genuine magical tradition as revived by Adepts like Crowley is here related to its ancient sources and brought into line with phases of contemporary occultism that are evolving a New Gnosis to supercede the sterile superstitions bred of an aeon-long misunderstanding of the old.".

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. GRANT, STEFFI (illustrator). 2nd Edition. HB - 2nd. Starfire Edition, (2022 Print) NEW/NEW - This is a work that covers an extremely wide area and exposes - to quote from the jacket of the 1980 edition - "a network more complex than was ever imagined: a network not unlike H.P. Lovecraft's dark vision of sinister forces lurking at the rim of the universe". Outside the Circles of Time explores a complex of such ideas, from Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine, Crowley's The Book of the Law, Lovecraft's Necronomicon, and Frater Achad's researches. It also explores the work of Soror Andahadna, a contemporary Priestess of Maat whose work has parallels with that of Frater Achad some decades previously when he announced the inauguration of the Aeon of Maat in April 1948.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. GRANT, STEFFI (illustrator). 2nd Edition. Hardcover - 2nd. Starfire Edition, (2022 Print) NEW/NEW - Oblique to the paths that give on to other dimensions, and beyond them, there lies a region which the author has termed the Mauve Zone. Mystics, magicians, sorcerers, 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. - 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 trans-human knowledge and power.

Starfire Edition, (2023 Print) NEW/NEW - The Ninth Arch is the final volume of the Typhonian Trilogies. It comprises an extended analysis of and commentary upon Liber OKBISh, The Book of the Spider, a transmitted text which was received in the course of the Workings of New Isis Lodge in the 1950s. - "For readers interested in significant relationships between Numerical (physical) and Magico-Mystical (metaphysical) concepts, The Ninth Arch contains an exhaustive thesaurus of the Typhonian Tradition. But beyond considerations of gematria, the Oracles of OKBISh adumbrate Events likely to overtake planet Earth within the lifetime of many of the book's readers; and - for individuals who are able to interpret the Oracles in terms relative to their own magical universe - they issue warnings of the dangers that lie ahead of those unprepared to invoke the Sign of Protection against the oncoming wave of Outer Forces set to assume control of the planet. Now, at the turn of a millennium, it seems appropriate to release this Knowledge.".

Dustwrapper bright. ***242mm x164mm. 511 pages including Appendices and Index at the back of the book. *** '"Magick" is Crowley's masterpiece, the work into which he poured his knowledge of the Astral and other planes. It is in three parts, the first two of which treat of the principles of Yoga, and of Ceremonial Magic as taught in the Golden Dawn where he served his apprenticeship from 1898 to 1900. The third and major part, which was written mainly in his Abbey of Thelma in Sicily between 1920 and 1923, contains his own system of practical occultism. Crowley's "Magick" is a doctrine and a technique for establishing contact with extra-terrestrial entities - spirits, demons, elementals - for the purpose of extending human consciousness and expanding life to cosmic proportions. He replaced the Ceremonial rites as taught in the Golden Dawn by rites of a sexual kind. These were developed from Tantric and Alchemical sources. From Tantra he formed his own method of arousing the Kundalini force; from Alchemy he derived a technique for transmuting the sexual energies into elixirs of magical potency. The whole of Crowley's doctrine is based on "The Book of the Law" in which the future of humanity - the establishment on earth of a New Order - is outlined' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***Second printing of the book club edition, complete in its original dustwrapper, in nice collectable condition.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. London: Fulgur Limited, 2010. NEW / 600 Copies Only. From the Publisher (see image) : In his late creative life, Spare was sought out by artists and writers eager to receive insights of experience from the 'Walworth Road Surrealist.' And yet, there were very few indeed who became good friends. Vera Wainwright was one such friend. She arrived in Spare's life as the clouds of war cast a long shadow over South London, and sought him out amid the debris of the blitz to offer her support and affection. Dearest Vera is an account of their friendship told by Spare himself, through the many letters sent to his new pupil. Those familiar with Spare will find new insights to his life and theories on art, while newcomers will discover an eccentric and gifted artist sharing a lifetime's experience with an eager pupil. Compiled by Kenneth and Steffi Grant, this kaleidoscope of correspondence is a rare treat, and a major resource for those seeking to better understand this complex and neglected genius. Austin Osman Spare (1886-1956) is one of the most influential and innovative figures in twentieth century occultism. A natural artist and psychic, Spare's explorations of the creative focus gave rise to an ontology and body of work that departs radically from conventional occultism, both then and now. Ahead of his time, he was dismissed by Crowley early in his career, but found appreciation and understanding with the next generation, who embraced his ideas with alacrity. First Edition.
