So do I.

Is there any agreement yet on how many fit on the head of a pin?
I remembered you posted a most intriguing link to some Vatican department or order that had some thing to do with angels.

You have a better memory than me, Magda. I'd forgotten all about that report on Opus Angelorum. You're good!
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.

Has anyone read Peter Levenda's book on Lovecraft and Kenneth Grant? It looks like a good piece of work but it seems to have gone under the radar somewhat.

I haven't but would like to. Levenda is usually highly informative.
The following from a
website that recommends the book (and provides a Pirate Bay link to a copy of it)
Quote:
From January 2013 to March 2013 a working was performed in the Mojave desert, east of Los Angeles. This working was a continuation of a working that occurred in the same area during the same calendar periods in 1946. The effects of this working was not immediate, but rather, was a setting in motion of forces that have begun and continue to accrue, building up to a desired and planned birth of a magickal childe. You may consider the beginning of this working as the insemination and the current period as the gestation period. December will be the birth of a new being, one which will enter through a portal originally opened in 1946 and widened and prepared for an induced birthing in 2013. The number of years between the two is important. But we can say no more. What we can do is recommend a recent book currently found on TPB, that will give you pointers in directions that can help you understand what was done, why it was done and what to expect from it's results. -V.A.
One of the most famous yet least understood manifestations of Thelemic thought has been the works of Kenneth Grant, the British occultist and one-time intimate of Aleister Crowley, who discovered a hidden world within the primary source materials of Crowley's Aeon of Horus. Using complementary texts from such disparate authors as H.P. Lovecraft, Jack Parsons, Austin Osman Spare, and Charles Stansfeld Jones ("Frater Achad"), Grant formulated a system of magic that expanded upon that delineated in the rituals of the OTO: a system that included elements of Tantra, of Voudon, and in particular that of the Schlangekraft recension of the Necronomicon, all woven together in a dark tapestry of power and illumination.
The Dark Lord follows the themes in the writings of Kenneth Grant, H.P. Lovecraft, and the Necronomicon, uncovering further meanings of the concepts of the famous writers of the Left Hand Path. It is for Thelemites, as well as lovers of the Lovecraft Mythos in all its forms, and for those who find the rituals of classical ceremonial magic inadequate for the New Aeon.
Traveling through the worlds of religion, literature, and the occult, Peter Levenda takes his readers on a deeply fascinating exploration on magic, evil, and The Dark Lord as he investigates of one of the most neglected theses in the history of modern occultism: the nature of the Typhonian Current and its relationship to Aleister Crowley's Thelema and H.P. Lovecraft's Necronomicon.
Btw, the Pirate bay link doesn't work. I managed to find a current link
HERE.
If anyone manages to download the book, perhaps they'll let me have a copy.

Oh for some serious reading time. I have had Levenda's trilogy (Sinister forces) for a long time but it's not vacation /beach reading and I am so busy with work that the only reading I get done of late is on here.
I miss Helen too. Anyone know where she went?
