Paul Lowe joined the Typhonian OTO in the 1980s,
assuming the magickal persona Samael 131 ˚◦˚ He made
many contributions to Starfire in the forms of both image and word and, for
awhile, co-edited that publication with
Mick Staley and Robert Taylor (who became known later as Robert Agusucci).
Starfire came to be the official organ of the Typhonian OTO, and widely
regarded as the pre-eminent Thelemic publication and surely one of the finest
of all occult journals. In time the cell structure of the Typhonian Order
emerged with Mick heading the Lam Cell, Robert the Nightside Cell and Samael
131˚◦˚ heading the
Dreaming Cell. As part of his obligations of the Fifth degree he undertook the
Astarte Working which was framed over a period of 18 months but in fact formed
the foundation for a further 25 years of magical practice as further degrees
were undertaken. During this magical practice a new magickal order was
encountered and made manifest, the Ordo Templi Solus Noir. At the heart of the
Order are the succubi, the qlipphotic queens of prostitution, demons of
Kabbalistic lore. These articulate with 3 Temple Pylons (or doorways); 7
Grigori Sentinels (or Watchers, the angels who found the daughters of men
desirable and taught forbidden knowledge) and 3 Guardians. His magickal partner in these operations was
Namrael. In this context Samael 131
˚◦˚ operates as
Samael Grigori, vesica of the Solus Noir current and archon of the Order,
articulated with the wider world through the
persona of Damian Alexander Sinclair. The nature of the magickal work
draws upon Crowley, Spare particularly (most especially his sigil work) and
Carlos Casteneda - whose work (despite popularity and academic debunking) has
had a marked influence upon practicing occultists. Andrew Chumbley is, evidently,
a profound inspiration. Curiously though, that influence appears to have
commenced some years before the formal joint workings of the Cultus Sabbati and
Typhonian OTO and it does seem to have a markedly different flavour to Cultus
Sabbati material. This is not the only instance of Andrew Chumbley, the Adept,
having influence far beyond the boundaries of the Cultus Sabbati. Indeed, it
was Andrew's explicit desire to achieve this. The items offered here earth the
Ordo Templi Solus Noir current, bringing it forth into manifestation.

The introduction informs us this text explores the
nature of three Typhonian OTO degrees. Interestingly there is specific mention
of taking the Crooked Path and the dates given for the origination of this work
just predate the joint Cultus Sabbati - Typhonian OTO workings. The text itself emerged as a result of the
firesnake ritual consumate with the Fifthe degree of the OTO Order Ref. DS03 £575
