Kenneth Grant is a British occultist and head of the Typhonian Ordo Templi Orientis. Presbyterianism is part of the Reformed churches family of denominations of Christian Protestantism based on the teachings of John Calvin which traces its institutional roots to the Scottish Reformation, especially as led by John Knox. ... Rev. ... The Typhonian Ordo Templi Orientis is an occult society in the United Kingdom interested in magick and typhonian concepts. ...

Grant has much evidence to back up his claim to be the true successor to Aleister Crowley and the Typhonian OTO is considered by many to be the true OTO. The 'official' OTO regards Crowley's writing as scripture and believes that Crowley's pronouncements on magic, occultism and religion are the final word - The Typhonian OTO regard Thelema as a dynamic, changing, forward-moving current, which must be separated from Crowley to an extent if anything valuable is to be become of it. The TOTO places much of what Crowley said and wrote in context in terms of culture and time period and doesn't see Crowley in such black and white terms. Aleister Crowley Aleister Crowley, born Edward Alexander Crowley (12 October 1875 - 1 December 1947) was an occultist, mystic, sexual revolutionary, and drug user (especially morphine). ...

Many of his ideas, such as the use of Lovecraft's mythology, are misunderstood. His books are often derided by people who take them literally and fail to see the broad sweep of his work. His writings are considered advanced texts and remain largely impenetrable to "beginners". His work is challenging and demands much of the reader but are ultimately highly original, rewarding and are some of the most important occult books of the 20th century. In fact as his Typhonian trilogies progress they become less books about magic and more as books which are fabulous magical objects in themselves, having a transformative effect on the consciousness of many readers.

Grant published nine books in three trilogies (the Typhonian Trilogies) that span a vast number of topics. Titles include:
