Peter Grey
Peter Grey is a writer, and the co-founder of Scarlet Imprint. He is the author of The Red Goddess (2007), which inspired the resurgence of interest in Babalon, the goddess of Revelation. His Apocalyptic Witchcraft (2013) has been called the most important modern book on witchcraft. The Two Antichrists (2021), returns to the Babalon and Antichrist workings of Jack Parsons and his eclipsed sodality The Witchcraft. Lucifer: Princeps (2015) and Lucifer: Praxis (2025) comprise a significant addition to the canon of western occultism; his collected writings, from 2008–2018, are published in The Brazen Vessel (2019) with those of Alkistis Dimech.
He has spoken at private and public events and conferences worldwide to both practitioners and academics. These have included Occulture, the Occult Conferences in Glastonbury and London, Watkins Bookshop, the Esoteric Book Conference in Seattle, Flambeau Noir in Portland, the Psychology, Art and the Occult conference in London, Here to Go II in Norway, the Trans-States conference in Northampton University, the Magic and Ecology conference for CRASSH at Cambridge University and Pagan Federation events. He can be heard on podcasts including Runesoup, Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast, Right Where you are Sitting Now, Thelema Now, Spirit Box, Quarantine Sessions with Jake Kobrin, Against Everyone with Conner Habib, Grimerica, Witches and Wine, Thoth-Hermes, and Rendering Unconscious.
Peter lives with Alkistis in Cornwall on the edge of the Lizard peninsula, where he surfs in the cold Atlantic, walks the ancient land and pursues his magical practice.

The work continues the trajectory of Lucifer: Princeps, Grey’s meticulous study of the origins of the figure of the light-bringer and the myth of the rebel angels at the root of our occult tradition.
The Two Antichrists is a monograph on the figure of Antichrist in a post-Christian and progressive Thelemic context. The text investigates the dynamic between John Whiteside ‘Jack’ Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard, and offers new perspectives on the Babalon and Antichrist Workings.
The Brazen Vessel documents the creative, magical union of Peter Grey and Alkistis Dimech from 2008 to 2018. It comprises selected texts, essays and presentations, including many previously unpublished works, essays which have fallen out of print and texts that were only published online. The anthology marks the first appearance in print of such pivotal texts as Rewilding Witchcraft, a translation of the critical goetic source Le livredes esperitz, and an extended and original treatment of the witches’ dance.
Apocalyptic Witchcraft gives a compelling account of the Sabbat and Wild Hunt as living experiences. The wolf, the devil, and the goddess of witchcraft are encountered in a haunted and scarred land. A vision of the mythopoetic structure of the Art.
