The Outer Gateways by Kenneth Grant
THE TYPHONIAN TRADITION discussed in this book matured and declined before even the monumental phase of the earliest civilizations.
This is witnessed by fragments of magical and mystical lore once current in Egypt and the Far East. The Tradition lingered on and became corrupt with passing epochs and the gradual attrition of an ages-old lineage of Initiates.
Harassment by warring factions, seeking temporal power at the expense of intemporal space-transcending Knowledge, stifled the spark and fouled the springs of the ancient Wisdom. It reappeared fitfully over the centuries in obscure alchemical writings in the West, and in Oriental occult Tantras, and traces of it proved sufficient to permit of its powerful resurgence, one of the most remarkable phenomena of modern times.
