Typhonian Order

And actually that's where the numbers 9-11 come from, but we'll get to that.

So they have a symbol, the Typhonian order and beyond have a symbol for the Mark of the Beast.

And it's for extraterrestrial communication and through this ritual magic.

And the Mark of the Beast is an O and an X.

I, it's, a funny thing to me is, like, we've been talking about Kenneth Grant heavy for years, and, uh, I've been revisiting some of the KG books for this Akkad material, and of course he talks about Russell in there, too.

Um, but Friedrich Akkad is an interesting figure, the way that he factors into Kenneth Grant's whole Typhonian trilogy is, um, this...

If you're not familiar with his books, um, uh, so many things, uh, but I would say that he, what he's known for doing is, you know, bending the truth and creating a sort of meta fiction between reality and fiction, uh, into his own type of mythology, and a lot of that centers around cults of the shadow.

Um-

He died about 15 years ago, 2011.

He's of the Typhonian tradition.

And I've been diving into some of this esoteric.

It's crazy, the inversions.

In London in spring 1912, according to Aleister Crowley's later account, Theodore Royce of Ordo Templi Orientis confronted him over a short cryptic passage in the Book of Lies.

Royce believed Crowley had exposed the Order's supreme secret.

The immediate stake was authority inside OTO, a German-led initiatory order.

The deeper issue was whether Crowley had discovered its guarded doctrine, or later shaped that moment into the story that legitimised his rise.

There is no known independent transcript of the meeting, no verified audio recording, and no neutral witness account.

The charter does not prove the confrontation happened, as Crowley described it, but it does prove that Royce formally empowered him soon afterward.

On April 21, 1912, Royce issued Crowley a charter connected to the British section of the Order, known as Mysteria Mystica Maxima.

Crowley became National Grand Master General for Great Britain and Ireland.

So that's where you get to Michael Aquino again.

The tunnels that connect these were laid out by, um, a bunch of m- like 20th century occultists, Michael Aquino and a bunch of affiliated groups called the, the Typhonian Order by Kenneth Grant, and also La Couleuvre Noire, which was a voodoo-focused group, and also the Horonzon Club, which was a Chicago-based occult group.

And that became the, uh, Gnostic Voodoo group, which was, uh, these are a bunch of like separate occult organizations that are tied to the Templars, the Templars being the, uh, Ordo Templi Orientis.

And the Templars have multiple factions that are, uh, like, like you would call, I would call it the Typhonian Temp- the Lodge.

So like Nightside of Eden is one.

There's a lot of stuff that's, Monarch trauma-based mind control was developed from stuff in that book.

And so, uh, Michael Aquino worked closely with his organization, the Temple of Set, with the work that, uh, the Typhonian Order or, um, Kenneth Grant did.

And so, for example, um, Kenneth Grant and Michael Aquino, it was primarily Kenneth Grant, but Michael Aquino took it and used it and popularized it, came up with what was called on the, uh, go back to the pathworking.

Let's talk about maybe some of the paths you took, some of the choices, the forks in the road, and the crooked path, if you will, that took you to Luciferianism.

And by that I mean, first, interest in anything occult, and then also, you know, I know you've... made your way through some Wiccan and Typhonian and other Church of Satan also, right?

Not as a member.

I was a Temple Set member for a while in the early 2000s.
