Excerpt from "Chapter 33: Kenneth Grant and the Typhonian Tradition" by Henrik Bogdan, found in _The Occult World_, edited by Christopher Partridge --- "The Mauve Zone, a key-concept in Grant's system...is related to a practical formula of dream control evolved by Grant during the years 1955-62.... In his writings, Grant repeatedly stresses the importance of establishing contact with higher beings for the spiritual evolution of the practitioner, but also for the future of mankind." [Grant draws on traditional esoteric concepts, UFO-related materials, and the Old Ones of Lovecraftian lore to help explain what these entities are.] "Whereas [Aleister] Crowley adopted an agnostic approach to the nature of the entities...Grant argues theat they are actual entities existing outside of man's consciousness although they are to be accssed through a mental state which Grant calls the Mauve Zone." [Note: the image above is of Grant's own writings about the Mauve Zone, not _The Occult World_, quoted above. Plus, Crowley adjusted his own beliefs later in his life to accept the ‘realness’ of these entities. *Thanks to Marco Visconti for clarifying that last point!*]

THE MAGICAL REVIVAL, By #KennethGrant Publisher: #FrederickMuller #London Publication Date: 1972 Binding: #Hardback #Book Condition: Good Edition: 1st Edition When the original manuscript of this book was submitted for publication, the author was told he had provided “too much material for one book”. This proved to be correct. The work here presented – in an enhanced edition – became the first volume of three Trilogies. It provides 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 vigour. The continuity of this magical current as reflected in the work of Aleister Crowley, Austin Osman Spare, Dion Fortune and others is here traced through the Tantrik Tradition of the Far East, the Sumerian Cult of Shaitan and the Draconian, Sabian, or Typhonian rites of the 'dark' dynasties of ancient Egypt. Sexual magick and mysterious rites have always been practised; 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. As a contribution to occult lore, “The Magical Revival” and its companion volumes have become standard source-books in their special field. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQg4JmWD9BQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
