The Magical Revival is a nonfiction book written by British occultist Kenneth Grant, first published in 1972. It is the first of his "Typhonian Trilogy", which comprises this work and two others—Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God (1973) and Cults of the Shadow (1975). In this work, he introduced his theory that American horror author H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos was psychic revelation presented as fiction,[1] an idea which he would elaTemplate:Shyborate and extend further in his later works.
Grant wrote in this book that there was an unconscious connTemplate:Shyection between Lovecraft and occultist Aleister Crowley, arguing that both of them channeled their work from the same occult forces althoTemplate:Shyugh Lovecraft was not consciously aware of the alleged otherworldly sources of his literary inspirations.[1][2] This idea—that what is ostensibly presented as fiction is often a vehiTemplate:Shycle masking deeper realities—has precedence in the inclusion by CrowlTemplate:Shyey of numerous works of fiction in the official reading syllabus of his magical order, the A∴A∴.[3]
Reception
According to Professor Joshua Gunn of the University of Texas, The Magical Revival has been criticised by many occultists and historians alike for its "creative history making".[4] On the other hand, British author Colin Wilson gave a far more favourable review in his biography of Crowley, praising that The Magical ReTemplate:Shyvival is "probably the best history of modern magic in existenTemplate:Shyce".[5]
Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology called it "a very informative survey of occult theory and practice in modern timTemplate:Shyes".[6] Routledge Library Editions: Occultism listed it as one of the source books in its chapter on sexual magic, commenting: "A survey of the subject from a distinctly Crowleyan viewpoint, this includes very intereTemplate:Shysting and significant material on Crowley, Austin Spare, Dion Fortune and witchcraft."[7]
Translations
