Description

The Magical Revival, written by British occultist Kenneth Grant, first published in 1972. It is the first of his “Typhonian Trilogy”, which comprises this work and two others—Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God (1973) and Cults of the Shadow (1975). In this work, he introduced his theory that American horror author H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos was psychic revelation presented as fiction,[1] an idea which he would elaborate and extend further in his later works.

Grant wrote in this book that there was an unconscious connection between Lovecraft and occultist Aleister Crowley, arguing that both of them channeled their work from the same occult forces although Lovecraft was not consciously aware of the alleged otherworldly sources of his literary inspirations. This idea—that what is ostensibly presented as fiction is often a vehicle masking deeper realities—has precedence in the inclusion by Crowl­ey of numerous works of fiction in the official reading syllabus of his magical order, the A∴A∴.
