<2022-06-01T02:43:09.000Z> James10550088: Do you know much about Grant or are you just using the name for the pun?
<2022-06-01T03:14:13.000Z> GrantTK: I'm a fan, he's my favourite occultist. But I'm not an expert on his works, slowly getting through them. how about you?
<2022-06-01T03:19:01.000Z> James10550088: Interesting guy. Hard to get through his stuff since its out of print constantly and prices get jacked up accordingly. What I have been able to read sits somewhere between mad prophet and self-aware parody. I find myself genuinely spooked by it too.
<2022-06-01T03:26:29.000Z> GrantTK: Starfire has been republishing everything slowly, including more affordable softcovers for the first time ever. If you're in the States you can get them through JD Holmes.
<2022-06-01T03:28:01.000Z> GrantTK: His style is intentionally obfuscatory because one of his greatest concerns was hurting uninitiated people with ideas and practices that they couldn't handle. So it takes a while to get into the flow of his writing.
<2022-06-01T03:28:33.000Z> GrantTK: But I have no doubt he knew everything he wrote about through first hand experience.
<2022-06-01T03:45:40.000Z> James10550088: Oh cool I’ll have to give that a look. And yeah I get that. My favorite part is when he flies into a gematria based exegesis with little more than a wink and a nod and you just get this deluge of information all at once. Always have to read that stuff over and over.
<2022-06-01T03:57:56.000Z> GrantTK: The books themselves are the magic, not instructions like the typical occult work. That's what is so amazing about them. I'm convinced you could sleep with one under your pillow and absorb it all the same as reading the words in it.
