Kenneth Grant, founder of the Typhonian Order, a [[left-hand path]] fraternity of [[ritual magic]], provided extensive teachings on the qlippoth. He idealized them as the shadow side of the [[Kabbalah|Kabbalistic]] [[Tree of Life]], representing the chaotic, negative counterparts to the ten [[sefirot]]. Grant emphasized the importance of understanding and integrating these darker aspects for a holistic spiritual perspective. | British [[magician]] Kenneth Grant (1924 - 2011), founder of the Typhonian Order, a [[left-hand path]] fraternity of [[ritual magic]], provided extensive teachings on the qlippoth.

Grant advocated for balancing light and dark forces, believing that engaging with qlippothic energies can lead to significant spiritual growth. He often linked the qlippoth to [[sex magic]]and Tantric practices, suggesting these could harness primal energies for transformation. Additionally, Grant suggested that [[H. P. Lovecraft]]'s description of Yog-Sothoth as a conglomeration of "malignant globes" may have been inspired by the Qlippoth. This connection underscores the view that Qlippothic forces are integral to both ancient and contemporary esoteric thought. | Grant advocated for balancing light and dark forces, believing that engaging with qlippothic energies can lead to significant spiritual growth.
