If there is one figure in the history of contemporary esotericism who has fundamentally shaped the contours of Lovecaftian occulture as it exists today, it must surely be Kenneth Grant. The Servants of the Star and the Snake, edited by Henrik Bogdan, is a newly-published collection essays by artists, occultists, academics - and those whose oeuvre straddles multiple of these fields - celebrating the corpus of both Kenneth and Steffi Grant; needless to say, Lovecaft’s presence is felt throughout, but his presence looms especially large in the excellent contributions of both Stefan Dzicklewicz and friend of the Ghooric Zone, Alistair Coombs. Overall, a superb and important collection whch will be of interest to Grant afficianados as well as scholars of contemporary occultism.
