Beyond the Mauve Zone paves the way for the final volume, The Ninth Arch, in a series comprising three Typhonian Trilogies.

Oblique to the paths that give on to other dimensions, and beyond them, there lies a region which the author has termed the Mauve Zone.

Mystics, magicians, sorcerers, artists of many kinds have – over the centuries – skirted it, stumbled upon it, and fled from it. Very few have penetrated beyond it and survived, or cared to leave any record of the experience. Those that did, have had to present their accounts as fiction, or discover a new means of communication – via weird art, symbols, hieroglyphics, signs which fellow pilgrims alone might recognize.

Access to the Mauve Zone has been facilitated in more recent times by the use of magical systems developed by occultists such as Austin Osman Spare and Aleister Crowley, both of whom established contact with inter-dimensional entities possessed of trans-human knowledge and power. Both systems involve the use of sexual magick to open hidden gates that have remained sealed for centuries.

The present book contains references to these systems, as well as to the explorative work of skilled contemporary Adepts such as Margaret Ingalls (Nema), Jeffrey and Ruth Evans, and the Patriarch of the Ecclesia Gnostica Alba, Zivorad Mihaljovic, which places them in the forefront of present-day practitioners.

There is also included a detailed account of the Cosmic Energy in humanity, known anciently as the Fire Snake, the Kundalini of Oriental arcane tradition which it is necessary to awaken if access to the Mauve Zone, and beyond, is to be achieved successfully. The account is based upon a rare Tantric work which provides veritable keys to the Mauve Zone and to the magico-mystical formulae designed to surpass it.

Originally published by Starfire in 1999, this 2016 re-print of Beyond the Mauve Zone is limited to 1500 copies. The New edition is enhanced with a color frontispiece, a twenty page section of color and half-tone plates, and illustrated endpapers. Many of the plates have been re-photographed, and some are printed in color for the first time. The text incorporates corrections noted in the author’s personal copy of the book.
