I don’t know specifically what ‘groups’ Evola was referring to, however I would imagine that the prime example of Gnosticism being associated with Typhon would be found in Kenneth Grant’s Typhonian Ordo Templi Orientis.
‘Sex magick’, if indeed there is any magical content at all, originates with something known as ‘Affectional Alchemy’ - this was invented by negro (whose father was a Virginian slave imported from
Randolph’s teachings inspired Theodor Reuss (1855-1923) of the OTO, which in turn lead us to Crowley, who though his Scarlet Woman (Leah Hirsig) was introduced to Pierre Arnold Bernard of the American Tantric Association…of course since this too involved gratuitous sex, Crowley decided to combine Tantra (in the limited capacity that he understood it) with Randolph’s Gnostic sex magic, which was already employed by the OTO.
So, the link is complete, a black man claiming to been initiated in the vicinity of

In "Revolt Against the Modern World", Evola refers to unnamed Gnostic
authors theorizing the Hebrew God's descent from Typhon. Would anyone
know what specific Gnostic groups and texts Evola is referring to
here?
Secondly, Gnostic sources would seem to be highly spiritually
dubious. I have yet to come upon a Gnostic sect fully in accord with
the heroic Indo-European world-view. Evola himself, in "The Mystery
of the Grail", acknowledges that Catharism, a virtual rebirth of
ancient Gnosticism in the medieval Christian era, exhibits
degenerated traits, possibly of Southern-Atlantic or pre-Aryan Iberic
origins, emphasizing a generally lunar, escapist, and feminine
ideology. Thus, a Gnostic attack on the concept of Jehovah would seem
to represent a rebellion of the feminine principle against whatever
of the patriarchal principle the Jehovah concept had retained. The
ancient gnostics considered Jehovah in the same category as the Indo-
European Jupiter, i.e. as unjust, bloodthirsty, masculine warlord
gods, to be transcended by a fatalistic, individualist, and pacifist
escapism, by means of the salvific help of the Mother Goddess in the
form of "Sophia".
Of course, defenders of Traditional society know in what context so-
called Gnosticism has been promoted nowadays: in the name of
ideological feminism, egalitarianism, bonobo-like libertinism and
degenerate 'sex-magick'.
