Rezensionen
Nightside of Eden is Grant's exploration of the Qlipoth, Tunnels of Set, based on the sinister grimoire Liber 231. Jam packed with insightful gemetria, heavy metaphysics about the universe and inter-dimensional theory, and initiated interpretations of Liber Legis and other arcana. The second half of the book is a review of the 22 averse genii of the Tarot as outlined in Liber 231. A fine book, on my third read of it.
THE MAGICAL REVIVAL (orig. published 1973) is the first of Grant's "Typhonian Trilogies" (9 books in total). Even though this is the first book in the series, it's still not for the novice. A reader without any Qabalistic knowledge might be a bit lost. Fortunately he does provide an extensive glossary and index for such readers.
Basically Grant gives the reader an overview of early 20th century occultism. In doing so he mostly focuses in the development and influence of the Golden Dawn and the O.T.O, as well as a few key figures; namely, Aleister Crowley, Austin Osman Spare, Dion Fortune, and Jack Parsons. Grant knew three of these personally, thus he definitely had his finger on the pulse of the age. The book gives a lively snapshot of early to mid 20th century thought in regards to magick; a time pre-Chaos Magick and when Neo-Paganism was just becoming a contender.
Some Crowley quotes and witticisms were laugh-out-loud funny. The only problem was that some of it was a bit dated and occasionally Grant became a tad repetitive. Though many topics discussed are rather complex and perhaps needed further clarification. The center of the book contains over a dozen glossy and full color photos and illustrations. Nice touch.… (mehr)

Aleister Crowley's magical thesis on the Universe. Can you go wrong? A detailed exposition on various facets of the hermetic tradition in an intelligible and transcendental light. A must have in any magician or mystic's library.
