Edward Gauntlett - Scales of the Serpent

[vonzos]

For those interested, we're delighted to announce our second title by Edward Gauntlett.

Scales of the Serpent draws its primary inspiration from Kenneth Grant’s Nightside of Eden and the exploration of those realms analogous to what Michael Bertiaux refers to as Universe B.

The book comprises the sigils of the cells of the qliphoth from Liber CCXXXI (with commentary) presented in a form intended to facilitate meditation and visionary work in accessing the back of the Tree of Life, the nightside.

A separate and substantial text explores threads leading towards the void which is the gateway to the reverse of the Tree. These particular threads have been picked up and followed as a result of the author’s workings within the Ordo Typhonis and, more specifically, within the Lamal Lodge.

22 original full-colour images plus frontispiece and custom endpapers designed by the author.

The deluxe contains several pages of holographic text from the author's personal notebooks bound in.

Both the deluxe and standard versions are available from http://www.landofzos.com

I only recently learned about Edward Gauntlett's history of the Order, Shades in Mauve, and have definitely added it to my to-get list. Now he has a new one, which also looks very intriguing. Unfortunately, I spent my book budget this month on Hecate's Fountain (which recently arrived from J. D. Holmes) and next on my list has to be The Ninth Arch. But I'm also eager to get my hands on that history, an now this new one from Gauntlett. So many books to acquire!

Meanwhile, a question: What is Lamal Lodge? Is this the special working group described in the Lam Statement?

Indeed, there are a lot of great titles just released or releasing but we do hope you get your hands on one of Edward's soon, we'd be interested to hear your opinion. As for Lamal Lodge, we'd direct you to Michael Staley's essay in Starfire Vol.II, Number 2 - "Iridescent Undulations".

Ordered a copy. Honestly I tried to resist, but alas simply can not ignore a Typhonian title!

I don't take much convincing, it would appear. Edward's history will be my next immediate acquisition, after my credit card recovers from Hecate's Fountain! Anyway, I've been coveting it ever since I became aware of its existence (how did I manage to not know about it for this long?). Damn, though. The new edition of The Ninth Arch is a must-have too. Thanks, too, for the reference on Lamal Lodge.

I couldn't resist ordering this one either!
