Many thanks, Mogg. I'll see if I can find a copy of Lavenda's book next time I'm in the UK.
Best wishes,
Margaret

The late Kenneth Grant is a practitioner and author who has an important
interpretation of Aleister Crowley's
magick and especially his channelled text The Book of the Law. His books
are more intuitive than scholarly - there is a new book by Peter Lavenda
(the creator of the "Simon" necronomicon) called "The Dark Lord" which
supposedly reexamines Grant's thesis, (I haven't read it yet but others
here may know whether its
is a good summary of the issues. ) Grant's is one of the most
interesting interpreters of Crowley and has given rise to many
interesting new religious movements -
The Temple of Set and the whole "typonian" directions of modern magick.
I'll see if i can summarise the thesis later, although others here might
do a better job.
