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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dark Lord\u003c\/i\u003e follows the themes in the writings of Kenneth Grant, H.P.
