GAMALIEL / DANCE DOLL DANCE
1.st. edition, 2003 by Starfire. Signed Deluxe Edition, 158 pages. Bound in quater goatskin. Signed by: Kenneth & Steffi Grant . Colour frontispiece 'Altar of Lam' by Steffi Grant.
This is the third volume in the novella series by Kenneth Grant, and consists of two stories. The first, 'Gamaliel: The Diary of a Vampire', presents the history of a woman, Vilma, who attempts to invoke unseen Intelligences but takes a wrong turn. She loses her way in the Gamaliel, the Qliphoth of Yesod, and eventually succombs to vampiric possession.
The story unfolds as extracts from her Magical Diary, the editor of which makes a horrifying discovery as the Diary closes. The second, 'Dance Doll Dance', is an account of Tantric Sorcery. It centres upon the fatal emanations of an idol, bequeathed to the narrator of the story. It becomes clear from a sinister pattern of events that the idol thrives on blood and sexual rites.
The narrator is enmeshed in a nefarious web of intrigue and allure, and his energies are vampirised, culminating in a cataclysmic rite based on the Dakshina Kalika Yantra. Like other stories in this series, they were written in the period when New Isis Lodge was in operation, in the 1950s and early 1960s

Deluxe Edition
Starfire Publishing Ltd., London, 2000. Quarter leather bound hardback , 168 pages. Signed by Kenneth and Steffi Grant. Colour dustjacket by Steffi Grant. Frontispiece reproduces ‘Hybrid’, a 1929 drawing by Austin Osman Spare of a hyaena.
This is the second volume in the series of novellas by Kenneth Grant. This volume consists of two stories, both of them concerning the voodoo Bultu, or Cult of the Spectral Hyanae. In the first story, Snakewand, a set of voodoo drums exercises an insidious, hypnotic rhythm which brings about possession in those who fall under its sway, sweeping an entire town to destruction. In the second, The Darker Strain, something malefic is transmitted at a séance, again bringing about possession and transformation into a hyaena.
These stories, and other tales in this series, were written in the wake of rituals performed over a period of seven years in New Isis Lodge. Many were the magicians and mediums who passed through the Lodge, and some of them feature in the series of novellas. Their mundane personalities may not have appeared unusual to casual observation, but when elongated and siderealised by the unique perspectives which their magical rôles created for them, they achieved an apotheosis, an epiphany. This extraordinary phenomenon demonstrated the heights and the depths which human nature is capable of scaling and of fathoming, in the delirious frenzy inspired by their art. These tales are likewise orientated to the other side of a reality rarely glimpsed outside a magically charged Circle.

The Magical Revival
By
Kenneth Grant
Deluxe Edition of only 118 copies.
276 pages, frontispiece, 17 plates (many in colour), illustrated endpapers. Quater leather bound morrocco. Signed by Kenneth & Steffi Grant Colour dustjacket designed by Steffi Grant.
When the original manuscript of this book was submitted for publication, the author was told he had provided "too much material for one book". This proved to be correct. The work here presented – in an enhanced edition – became the first volume of three Trilogies. It provides a detailed analysis of certain occult traditions which existed long before the Christian epoch, survived its persecutions and anathemas, and reappeared in recent times with renewed vigour.
As a contribution to occult lore, The Magical Revival and its companion volumes have become standard source-books in their special field.

and Other Tales
Deluxe edition.
Starfire Publishing Ltd. London, 2003. 216 pages, hardback,quarter leather bound Signed by Kenneth & Steffi Grant. Colour dust jacket by Steffi Grant. Colour frontispiece ‘The Stellar Lode’ by Steffi Grant.
It consists of two novellas with a common theme of Ancient Egyptian sorcery, and four short stories.
The first novella, The Other Child, is a tale of two brothers, one a Child of Light, the other of Darkness, and the struggle for a cataclysmic magical power which they each partially embody. A scholar of Ancient Egyptian studies is unwittingly drawn into the struggle, eventually assuming a priestly destiny as events unfold.
The second novella is The Stellar Lode, previously published many years ago but here re-edited and published within the novellas series. We learn of a small glass sphere into which, ages ago, was sealed by means of sorcery the soul of a powerful Egyptian Queen. The sphere exerts a powerful talismanic effect on those into whose hands it passes, each possessor playing an unwitting part in an urgent cosmic drama, echoing rôles which they had played ages past, in the original drama which gave birth to the sphere.
