>that makes you think "take your meds schizo"

The only and unironical answer for that is the Typhonian Trilogies by Kenneth Grant.

I consider these pretty much the most unhinged, insane ramblings of a man lost deep in the abyss of counter-initiation, Sirius Star and Tantra Cults and The Qliphoth

All the while raving about Lovecraftian Mythos Entities

How can anyone take Grant seriously?

Do not get me wrong, I enjoy reading his books, but all the wild claims he makes, historically inaccurate claims, his lousy qabalistic values full of errors, his Qliphoth-obsession etc.

Not only his first 3 books (Magical Revival, AC & Hidden God, Cults of the Shadows) were somewhat coherent: he ditched all of this

He went full insanity mode: from trying to treat UFOs, Lovecraft as metaphors: he goes on to say: It is all real! I have seen it!

I still love the works of Grant (as I do love the works of Lovecraft), but not because of the information they offer, they are more of reading insane ramblings of a madman. Kenneth Grant, quite frankly, probably lost his mind at some point in his life.

I would consider pic related as the essential starter pack.

Full of ufology, exploring psychic (instead spiritual) and Qliphoth, sorcery.

Almost everything Guénon sort of warned against in Reign of Quantity. Kenneth Grant will be right up your alley.

I have read Typhonian trilogies. I think the first trilogy (first three books are good)

After that Kenneth Grant probably lost it. He goes on saying that it is not metaphor. That necronomicon is real. That ufos are real. And other stupid shit.

He really went downhill after Nightside of Eden, maybe even insane.

Typhonian Trilogies by Kenneth Grant

Has anyone else read these? For me these are the "weird site" of literature. I kinda can take "The Magical Revival" seriously and maybe few parts of "Nightside of Eden" have interesting concepts going on, but mostly it is that kind of literature I just keep in my collection for the "WTF" factor.

Ufos, lovecraft, thelema, (shitty) Qabalah, witchcraft, tantra: all woven together. Sometimes in a very incoherent fashion.
