Dark Doorway of the Beast contains an introspective and critical analysis of certain occult principles and formulae. The traditions surrounding occult (meaning hidden) knowledge extends beyond the Christian era and far back into antiquity. The writer of this book has studied the occult for many years believes his knowledge and understanding to have been enhanced by contact with the energies and images embodied within the magical order known as the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) of which he is an active member. He presents here a serious study of the principles of operation of the laws of nature as they interact within the mental faculities of Man. Many aspects of occult knowledge have been discussed within these pages, drawing on such diverse sources as the Bible of traditioal Christianity, classical mythology, Hindu scripture, the writing of Aliester Crowly, Austin Osman Spare, H. P. Lovecraft and modern scientific research. Dark Doorway of the Beast by Gareth Hewitson-May, is an important attempt to explore & understand Daath, and the Qliphoth.
