Typhonien

Kenneth Grant
(23 May 1924 15
January 2011) was
an English
ceremonial magician and
prominent advocate of the
Thelemite religion. A poet,
novelist, and writer, he
founded his own Thelemite organisation, the Typhonian Ordo Templi Orientis
later renamed the Typhonian Order with his wife Steffi Grant.

Founding the London-based New Isis Lodge in 1954, Grant added to many of
Crowley's Thelemite teachings, bringing in extraterrestrial themes and influences
from the work of H.P. Lovecraft. This was anathema to Germer, who expelled
Grant from the O.T.O. in 1955, although the latter continued to operate his Lodge
regardless until 1962.

He was particularly interested in the Hindu tantra, incorporating ideas from it into
the Thelemic practices of sex magic.

Grant's writings and teachings have proved a significant influence over other
currents of occultism, including chaos magic, the Temple of Set and the Dragon
Rouge.

Grant was born on 23 May 1924 in Ilford, Essex, the son of a Welsh clergyman

By his early teenage years, Grant had read widely on the subject of Western
esotericism and Asian religions,[2] including the work of prominent occultist
Helena Blavatsky.[3] He had made use of a personal magical symbol ever since
being inspired to do so in a visionary dream he experienced in 1939; he spelled
its name variously as A'ashik, Oshik, or Aossic.[4] Aged 18, in the midst of the
Second World War, Grant volunteered to join the British Army, later commenting
that he hoped to be posted to British India, where he could find a spiritual guru to
study under.[2] He was never posted abroad, and was ejected from the army aged
20 due to an unspecified medical condition. [5]

He also requested that Michael Houghton, proprietor of Central London's esoteric

bookstore Atlantis Bookshop, introduce him to Crowley. Houghton refused,
privately remarking that Grant was "mentally unstable." [

April 1955 when Grant issued a manifesto announcing his discovery of an
extraterrestrial "Sirius/Set current" upon which the lodge was to be based. [32] In
this manifesto, Grant claimed that a new energy was emanating down from Earth
from another planet which he identified with Nuit, a goddess who appears in the
first chapter of Crowley's Thelemic holy text, The Book of the Law.[31] Germer
however deemed it "blasphemy" that Grant had identified a single planet with
Nuit; on 20 July 1955, Germer issued a "Note of Expulsion" expelling Grant from
the O.T.O.[33]

Upon learning of Grant's expulsion, Smith feared that the O.T.O. would split up
into warring factions much as the Theosophical Society had done following the
death of Blavatsky.

Grant believed that the O.T.O.'s sex magic teachings needed to be refashioned
along tantric principles from Indian religion,

In the early 1970s he established his own Thelemic organisation, the Typhonian
O.T.O., which produced its first official announcement in 1973

Info trouve sur Net : I came across a brief essay entitled "Liber Qliphoth" by
one Nagasiva Yronwode, a sort of compilation of Golden Dawn
information regarding the Qliphoth. As far as authors/books are concerned,
I'd cite Frater Nemidial's "Liber Azerate" and Thomas Karlsson's
"Qabalah, Qliphoth, and Goetic Magic"(though other authors, such as
Kenneth Grant and Michael Ford, have also inspired me). Gershom Scholem's
historical/scholarly works on Kabbalah have also been influential.
Yeah, Kenneth Grant is a big inspiration for me as well, particularly "Nightside of
Eden" and "Cults of the Shadow." If you are looking for info on the Qliphoth,
I'd heartily recommend "Qabalah, Qliphoth and Goetic Magic" by Thomas
Karlsson. My second would be Michael Ford's Scales of the Black Serpent,
which is an okay primer, though you could probably afford to skip it. My third
would be Liber Azerate by the Temple of the Black Light

Extrait de Nightside of Eden :

Il est intressant de noter quel point H.P. Lovecraft sest approch de la

frontire de ces dimensions trangres lhumain ; dans LAffaire Charles
Dexter Ward , il fait allusion au signe de Koth que certains voient en rve au-
dessus de lentre dune tour noire dresse dans une lumire crpusculaire .
Cette tour noire est le phallus de Set, la pierre dresse dans le crpuscule de
lAbme, cest--dire ltat crpusculaire entre le rve et les noirs abmes du
sommeil . Le mot Koth ou Kotha est lun des noms barbares dvocation que les
gnostiques utilisaient dans leurs Agapoi, dont certains ont t restaurs
kabbalistiquement par Crowley dans son Liber Samekh, texte central du Nouvel
Aeon qui contient le rituel connu comme Congressus Cum Daemone . Il est
lun des plus puissants rituels existants, selon Crowley. Il contient les formules
permettant de dialoguer avec son Double ou Soi de LOmbre. Dans la section
lmentale consacre la Terre, Kotha est le nom dHathor, la desse
voluptueuse du plaisir sexuel, que Satan contemple et dsire ! . Koth est alors
traduit par Toi, lOmbre Koth, par consquent, signifie Celui de lOmbre , le
tunnel symbolis par le vagin de la femme qui met un vaporeux plasma en
rponse la moindre stimulation de la Volont magique dirige.

Le terme ChVth, une forme de Koth signifiant la bte des roseaux (NDA : une
image de lgypte dans le Psaume Ixviii. Le terme drive de Khebt,
lhippopotame, un symbole zoomorphique de lgypte du nord, cest--dire la
Basse gypte, la rgion typhonienne), a pour nombre 414 qui est celui de la
lumire infinie (Ain Soph Aur), lun des trois voiles du Vide derrire Kether. Cest
aussi le nombre dAZVTh (Azoth), le fluide, cest--dire la scrtion suprme ou
Kala qui dissout toute structure molculaire par sa lumire infiniment corrosive.
Lovecraft a exprim cette notion du point de vue de son matrialisme
scientifique, comme tant Azatoth, le Chaos idiot et aveugle au centre des
Mondes Infinis.

Le terme Koth en tant que Cheth (ChITh), 418, est dune importance primordiale
dans le Nouvel Aeon car il est le nombre du Grand uvre dans sa phase
alchimique la plus haute, savoir la dissolution de toute structure molculaire
telle quesquisse dans AL II. 44.

Although based in Thelema, Grant's Typhonian tradition has been described as "a
bricolage of occultism, Neo-Vedanta, Hindu tantra, Western sexual magic,
Surrealism, ufology and Lovecraftian gnosis"

Influenced by Maharshi, Grant adopted the Advaitan world-view that only "the
Self", or atman, really exists, with the wider universe being an illusory projection.
[7 He believed that by mastering magick, one master's this illusory universe,
gaining personal liberation and recognising that only the Self really exists. [78]
Doing so, according to Grant, leads to the discovery of one's True Will, the central
focus of Thelema.[74] Grant further claimed that the realm of the Self was known
as "the Mauve Zone", and that it could be reached while in a state of deep sleep,
where it has the symbolic appearance of a swamp. [79] He also believed that the
reality of consciousness, which he deemed the only true reality, was formless and
thus presented as a void, although he also taught that it was symbolised by the
Hindu goddess Kali and the Thelemic goddess Nuit.[80]

Grant taught that the true secret of sex magic were bodily secretions, the most
important of which was a woman's menstrual blood. [73] He referred to female
sexual secretions as kalas, a term adopted from Sanskrit.
