Zos Speaks!: Encounters With Austin Osman Spare by Kenneth Grant & Stefi Grant (PDF)


 In the domain of talismanic books there are very few that can come close to this one in the raw power it projects. True to form of occult books, this one too leaves enough out to make the serious reader reach out to seek more with senses outside of the optical and intellectual. Several PHDs can be tackled from the material contained here.

Amongst the hundreds of books I have read and own this is singularly the most important by a long margin. In reality it is 2 books in one. The first being a meticulously collected and intimate exchanges between Spare and his de facto successor Grant, or rather the Grants as both Kenneth and Steffi were clearly devoted students, friends and supporters of Spare. The glimpse into Spare’s personality and thought patterns is simply priceless. The second part of the book is as close as we ever got to an authentic grimoire of one of the greatest and enigmatic magicians who ever walked the denser plain of existence. Here we finally get to unravel some of the cryptic concepts from Spare’s seminal work “The book of Pleasures” particularly the philosophy behind the alphabet of desire as it relates to sigils. We also get a privileged view into some astoundingly powerful (from personal experience) rituals, which frankly makes those of the Thelemites seem amateurish at best. This is magick in its raw form. The straight line of the will between the two points of desire and reality, devoid of the “fat” of unnecessary pomp and circumstance that so plagues conventional magickal practices.

The various formulae Spare shares (at long last) are sufficiently potent so that even, in Spare’s own words, “The Devil himself shall not prevent your 'will' from materializing.”

No price is too high for the privilege of owning this book. For the serious student of the Art, it is nothing short of indispensable.
