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.

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.

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.
