Fine in near-fine dustjacket. "Final volume of a series of Trilogies which trace the emergence into historical times of an ancient body of occult doctrine known as the Typhonian Tradition. These Trilogies consist of 1) THE MAGICAL REVIVAL; ALEISTER CROWLEY AND THE HIDDEN GOD; CULTS OF THE SHADOW; 2) NIGHTSIDE OF EDEN; OUTSIDE THE CIRCLES OF TIME; HECATE'S FOUNTAIN; and 3) OUTER GATEWAYS; BEYOND THE MAUVE ZONE; THE NINTH ARCH. The Oracles of OKBISh (Book of The Spider) were communicated audibly, and occasionally visually, to various members of New Isis Lodge (1955-62) and at certain stages of magic ritual. The current which generated the material began, sporadically, as early as 1939, with the initial movement of a transmission which developed over the years into the text known as the WISDOM OF S'LBA...which in 1945 was recognized by Aleister Crowley as an authentic communication. From that time, the Informing Intelligence went on to complete the Wisdom and proceeded to produce the massive series of Oracles presented in THE NINTH ARCH...The richly complex pattern of magical correspondences, in both cases, has proved of unparalleled value in determining genuine contact with occult forces possessed of Knowledge and Prescience concerning important terrestrial Events. That the pattern reflects direct contact with an indefinitely ancient yet ever new Typhonian Gnosis, is demonstrated bye application of relentless and rigorous qabalistic exegesis..."For readers interrested in significant relationships between Numerical (physical) and Magico-Mystical (metaphysical) concepts, THE NINTH ARCH contains an exhaustive thesaurus of the Typhonian Tradition. But byond considerations of gematria, the Oracles of OIKBISh adumbrate Events liikely to overtake planet Earth within the lifetime of many of the book's readers; and -- for individuals who are able to interpret the Oracles in terms relative to their own magical universe -- they issue warnings of the dangers that lie ahead of those unprepared to invoke the SIGN OF PROTECTION against the oncoming wave of Outer Forces set to assume control of the planet. Now, at the turn of a millenium, it seems appropriate to release this Knowledge" (Liner notes)The title (THE NINTH ARCH) refers to a secret underground vault leading from Solom's most retired apartment, due westerly, and ending under the sanctum santorum of the temple, to be divided into nine separate arches. The ninth arch was to be the place for holding the grand council. Upon its completion, "the three grand masters deposited therein those things which were important to the craft, such as the ark of the covenant, a pot of manna, the rod of Aaron, the book of the law..."
