Typhon: Difference between revisions

According to Kenneth Grant, a leading exponent of this Typhonian Tradition,and head of the Ordo Templi Orientis (a magical organization that was once headed by the one and only [[Aleister Crowley]]) this tradition is part of a current of magical force and occult lore dating back to Sumeria and pre-Dynastic Egypt. ( See [[Sumeria-Egypt Inavsion]]) Originally known as the Draconian Tradition ([[Orion Group]]) it is a magical current “based on initiated knowledge or gnosis of the Fire Snake.” The Fire Snake is also known as the [[Kundalini]] or the Ophidian Current; the basis of all true initiation.

Who is [[Typhon]]? According to Mr. Grant, Typhon is “The feminine aspect of Set; sometimes typified as the Mother of Set in her role of Goddess of the Seven Stars, of which Set is the Eighth.” Set is the brother of Osiris in the Egyptian Pantheon. Set, Osiris’ dark brother, chopped Osiris up into many pieces, leaving him for dead. Set was also the prototype for [[Satan]]. Grant writes, “The word Set or Sut, means ‘black’. This indicates not only the generative nature of this god but also his association with the night-world, Amenta, for from being a god of the heavens Set fell beneath the horizon and was recognized in later mythologies as the Lord of Hell, the Hidden Land.This god (i.e. Set, [[Satan]]) is of supreme importance in Crowley’s Cult, being not only the name of the primal creative spirit but also the formula of sexual magick.”<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhonian_Order Typhonian Order, Kenneth Grant]</ref>
