Again a most interesting read. And while I know Crowley and a number of his books in original and translation, I would not dare to claim to share all his views or understand them all. But I do enjoy his mastery of language.
Grant was and is new to me. But your well-written article has made his thinking and his work very clear. And by the way, the Typhonian OTO appears to be an appropiately chosen name with Typhoeus/Typhon being described by Nonnos (Dionisiaca book 1, loc.var.) as an entity with many arms and a mouth like an abyss (1,220 - 225 et al.) - an early image of Cthulhu.. Grant must have known that I think. And my Simon Necronomicon has disappeared from my bookshelves...is that a hint?
Thank you very much again for this thought-provoking piece. All the best. I will have to check some things out.
Interesting choice of colours there especially the creature gives my heart a wee pang.
It’s from the cover of “Masks of Nyarlathotep”, which is possibly the best Call of Cthulhu RPG campaign ever written.

Maybe the book’s disappearance is your hint to sign up for the course! 😈🤘🏻
Yes, indeed. But I will have to check some profane technicalities first. Sed temptamen forte.
