"In Volume I, the author, in his participatory epistemological encounter with Liber AL vel Legis, writes the Abyss into manifestation by transforming speech acts into magickal acts; moving from Idea to Form and from Form to Idea in a circular, bidirectional fashion. Herein lies a “key” to understanding the Cosmos’ own emergence from and disappearance into the Abyss; the becoming of Somethingness from No-thingness; the One from the None; the Logos in an eternal dialogue with the Void."

"Volume II - Austin Osman Spare. Themes to highlight is how Spare's Book of Pleasure speaks to a wider audience who have attempted to make explicit unknown dimensions. Building on and from Spare's understanding of Kia (for example), Volume 2 draws on the work of Nietzsche, Derrida, and Lacan to exorcise key contingents embedded within Spare's understanding of image and word. Evolving from what has come before, Ian Edwards embarks on an intense exploration of Being and Non-Being from the position of Spare, and in doing so accomplishes the greatest feat: the creation of an innovative and unique perspective of Spare. Hence, Chiasmata of Austin Osman Spare dispenses with vague celebration and replaces it with a revolutionary zeal that is so capable that it imbibes the reader with shock and awe for what is and for what is not."

"Volume III - Kenneth Grant. This volume will explore many of the key notions in Kenneth Grant’s Typhonian Trilogies, in particular aspects of his occult philosophy that were more salient in his later volumes, such as, Outside the Circles of Time, Outer Gateways, and Beyond the Mauve Zone. The introductory chapter will explore a Typhonian view of time, which brings together ontology and blasphemy. Paving the way for an occult anthropology that expands and even transgresses Martin Heidegger’s da-sein or being-in-the-world. (With Grant’s work, Edwards suggests that there is a shift from philosophical anthropology to occult anthropology). Here, the figure of Qayin is invoked as a sorcerous exemplar who “murders” a particular type of relationship to time and being, in the service of what Edwards has called, “sacravice,” as the “sacrifice of sacrifice,” andn “skinfulness” as a transgressive-transcendent relationship to “sinfulness.” - Atramentous Press, 2021-23.

Condition: Unread, near fine set. A slightest hint of shelf-wear to sheen of boards and a couple of very light marks to the sheen on the rear of Volume II, otherwise as new
