As we have begun the discussion in Gregory Peters' thread on Sirius, we may also create a thread for discussions pertaining to Andromeda as Kenneth Grant clearly mentions its importance in Beyond the Mauve Zone in the following passage and footnote:
Passage: "The formula of K'rla and of Makara "came together in the form of KR-LAM-KR. At the time, I did not know that the Andromeda galaxy is the galaxy most like our own. Therefore I suggest that this is the fact behind any assessment that Andromeda is a "lense""
Footnote: ‘Together with Sirius, Andromeda is a constellation of paramount importance in the Horus Maat Gnosis.
This is interesting and not the first time I have encountered references to Andromeda in occult literature. In fact, I seem to have read somewhere in the Temple of Set literature that M. Aquino and some others had at one time developed an interest in making contact with Andromeda. I am not sure how accurate this is but we can clearly see that KG does not take its importance likely.
Can anyone shed any more light on this?

This is interesting Marc. I do not off hand recall many references to Andromeda in occult writings, but it does not surprise me in the least. It is unquestionable that 'starry wisdom' infuses most of the Typhonian mysteries. I am just now going back through Temple's Sirius Mystery after many years from the first reading. In one of the Typhonian Trilogies (perhaps it was Outer Gateways? Can not find my notes at the moment) Grant asserts that this book is one of the utmost significance to the Typhonian tradition.
My current work has been focusing on passing these different gateways to starry wisdom via the light of stars by establishing contact to different constellations. I have not focused on the stars of Andromeda, but that may be a good target for future work.

Andahadna then gives a personal account of her own initiatory experiences with Andromeda, which emitted a compelling call she was unable to resist:
All I had to do was let go, and she [i.e. 'Andromeda'] drew me up and through the channel described above - through Sol and Sirius - and into the very blazing heart of her. Spinning, radiant, trailing her banners and pennants of spiral arms, she's an ocean of light, and beyond light - diamond-hard, rainbow-shimmering, intense - Shiva-light, the radiance strips all the ions from the nuclear essence of perception; profoundly naked, one flies into the deepest point of her concentrated brilliance, then out the other side. In the contra-terrene universe that lies beyond Andromeda, a Man becomes a Star, and a Star becomes a Man. One is a black radiating body in a white space.
- Outside the Circles of Time pg.161

I can only say from my own studies and work over the last 10 years or so that Andromeda plays a key role in the Typhonian mysteries. In fact the passage you quote from in "Beyond the Mauve Zone" I only came across a short time ago and the words used in that passage, I can say without question, are very apt. For me research along these lines resolved many questions I had at the time and enabled me to connect two very different lines of investigation together. Further to this I have also obtained some revelations along these lines connecting Lam as a "babe in an egg", which as an image is then projected onto the Andromeda galaxy. I believe more detailed research needs to be done in this area.

My current work has been focused on the Pleiadian system, as well as the Sirius system directly. Andromeda certainly sounds promising.
