About the Work: Outer Gateways is a cornerstone of Kenneth Grant’s Typhonian Trilogies. In this volume, Grant—the final student of Aleister Crowley—explores the intersections of the Necronomicon Mythos, Lovecraftian gnosis, and the transmission of extraterrestrial currents. It includes the influential “Wisdom of S’lba” and delves into dream control, the “unfamiliar spirit,” and the evolution of human consciousness.+1
Collector’s Note: While more recent reprints exist, the 1994 Skoob First Edition is the most sought-after by purists for its superior production quality and historical proximity to Grant’s active years. To find a copy still sealed after three decades is a singular opportunity for the serious collector.
