Being & Non-Being in Occult Experience
Produced by: Atramentous Press
Being and Non-Being in Occult Experience is a series of four volumes. The series serves to introduce readers to a spirituality, philosophy, existential-phenomenology, and depth psychology of occult experience through the lens of the dialectical relationship (the play) between becoming, being, and non-being. The author purports an anti-foundational “language” through which occult experience can be translated, transformed, transmuted, and ultimately (ex)communicated. Here, philosophical method in and of itself becomes alchemical and tantric, taking the reader on a transubstantiative journey into the textual flesh of writers such as:
Aleister Crowley (The Book of the Law and Thelema) in Volume I
Austin Osman Spare (Zos Kia Cultus) in Volume II
Kenneth Grant (Typhonian Ordo Templi Orientis) in Volume III
Andrew Chumbley (Cultus Sabbati) in Volume IV
Each volume will demonstrate how Logos (Being) and A-Logos (Non-Being) continually affirm and negate one another as a means to create lived space for opposition; thereby forming a circularity of becoming through both presence and absence.
