Kenneth Grant is a British [[occultist]] and head of the Typhonian Ordo Templi Orientis. | |||
==Kenneth Grant and the Typhonian OTO== | |||
Kenneth Grant has claimed to be the true successor to [[Aleister Crowley]], and is the founder of the Typhonian Ordo Templi Orientis, which is considered by it's members to be the true OTO. The 'official' OTO regards Crowley's writing as scripture and believes that Crowley's pronouncements on [[magic (paranormal)|magic]], occultism and religion are the final word; The Typhonian OTO regard Thelema as a dynamic, changing, forward-moving current, which must be separated from Crowley to an extent if anyting valuable is to be become of it. The TOTO places much of what Crowley said and wrote in context in terms of culture and time period and doesn't see Crowley in such black and white terms. | |||
==Biographer of Austin Osman Spare== | |||
Grant was a great admirer and close friend of [[Austin Osman Spare]] and did much to bring his name into western occult society. Indeed, if it wasn't for Grant, it could be argued that Spare would still be languishing in obscurity. | |||
==The Typhonian trilogies== | |||
Many of Grant's ideas, such as the use of the mythology of the [[United States|American]] fantasy fiction writer [[H. P. Lovecraft]] in occult contexts, are misunderstood. His books are often derided by people who take them literally and fail to see the broad sweep of his work. His writings are considered advanced texts and remain largely inpenetrable to "beginners". His work is challenging and demands much of the reader but are ultimately highly original, rewarding and are some of the most important occult books of the 20th century. In fact as his Typhonian trilogies progress they become less books about magic and more as books which are fabulous magical objects in themselves, having a transformative effect on the consciousness of many readers. | |||
