The autobiographical confessions of Aleister Crowley, document his world-wide adventures, bizarre philosophical and spiritual explorations, and experimentation with sex, drugs and occult practices from his early life to mid late 1920's. Originally two sections were published by Mandrake Press as 'The Spirit of Solitude' in 1929 across two volumes. Crowley intended to publish six volumes of his autobiographical confessions, however the project was left unfinished until 1969, after Crowley's death in 1947, when six parts were published as a single volume with Symonds and Grant as editors. After working closely with Crowley during the last two years of his life John Symonds became Crowley's literary executor, and, though increasingly critical of the occultist's methods, went on to publish three biographies of him. Kenneth Grant studied under Crowley who initiated him into the secret society 'Ordo Templi Orientis'. Grant became the head of the British branch of the O.T.O. after Crowley's death. The present volume has been revised and expanded by the editors from the 1969 edition using new information. Kenneth Grant also adds a short preface that was not present in the earlier edition.

The book is a study of Aleister Crowley by the fellow occultist Kenneth Grant, who was Crowley's personal secretary. 'Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God' describes "Crowley's system of sexual magick and the strange rites which he practiced and advocated for the purpose of promoting the Law of Freedom with its formula of "Love under Will". The book reveals the occult workings of the Fire Snake or Kundalini-Goddesss [.] Grant also describes a method of dream control involving the use of the Ophidian Current [.] Its object is to establish contact with extra-terrestial and non-human beings".

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover. The Magical Record of the Beast 666 by John Symonds and Kenneth Grant gives us a fascinating glimpse into the magical activities of Aleister Crowley during the years of the Great War. Perhaps a continuation of the experiments he made with fellow magician and poet Victor Neuburg, during 1914 in The Paris Working - a series of homosexual 'operations' which were a transition between the ceremonial rituals as taught in the Golden Dawn and the sex rites of the Ordo Templi Orientis. The 'Magical Records' comprises of 'Rex de Arte Regia' (The King on the Royal Art), a magical diary beginning in Sept 1914 - March 1915 and continuing Feb 1916 - Sept 1918. There is also 'The Magical Record of the Beast' from Dec 1919 - Dec 1920, followed by Liber Al vel Legis (The Book of the Law). Little shelfwear, else tight, bright, and unmarred. Lacking dj.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. First American edition. Octavo. 244pp. Illustrated. Black cloth gilt. Tiny spot on the foredge, near fine, without dustwrapper. "This book explains aspects of occultism that are often confused with "black magic". Its aim is to restore the Left Hand Path and to re-interpret its phenomena in the light of some of its more recent manifestations. This cannot be achieved without a survey of primal cults and the symbolic formulae which they deposited. There exists no richer field for such a survey and no more perfect a skeleton whereon to found it than the Fetish systems of West Africa and their efflorescence in pre-monumental Egyptian cults. Such a survey is presented in the first three chapters, after which the symbols emerge into the light of historic times and appear in the form of the Tantric Current explained in Chapters Four and Five."- from introduction. An extension of Grant's earlier work.

Hardcover. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover. Images and Oracles of Austin Osman Spare by Kenneth Grant is without a doubt one of the most important works on Spare ever published. Excerpts from Spare's Zoetic Grimoire, a biographical essay, a thesis on the magical systems of Zos and many rare illustrations of manuscripts and pictures go to make this work essential reading for all those interested in AOS. 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. Kenneth Grant (1924-2011) was the head of several important Thelemic orders and author of the influential "Typhonian Trilogies" series (1972-2002) that includes The Magical Revival, Nightside of Eden and Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God.
