Chumbley, Azoetia, A Grimoire of the Sabbatic Craft, Xoanon 2002 the Sethos Edition. This copy being number 35
of 44 deluxe copies quarter bound in natural goatskin and green cloth gilt
stamped with a design variant from the trade edition. It has a red silk
place-ribbon. The book comes in a stout slipcase with another design gilt
stamped. The limitation page is numberd in the authors hands and has sigils and
dedication inbscription hand drawn. Frontispiece and preliminaries + ix + 365pp
with many original striking illustrations. Quality paper sheets hand bound in
gilt stamped emerald buckram. Numbered limited edition of 484 copies this being
copy 263. First published ten years ago in a limited edition of 300 paperback
copies this is a remarkable work. The author sought expression for the British
Traditional Witchcraft into which he had been initiated. Oaths of secrecy
forbade blatant description of the Cunning-craft so he drew with insight, upon
Ancient Egyptian mythology, Gnosticism, alchemy, tradtional sorcery, Masonic
symbolism, tantra and the work of Austin Osman Spare to generate a vehicle for
its mysteries. These are enshrouded in a cogent and coherent system of Sabbatic
ritual and sorcery, encompassed by a magical alphabet, that can be utilised for
both spellcraft and the gnosis. This work is born of a magical act of creation
continuously guided by active dreamwork and the Daimon of the Grimoire itself,
whose name, "Sethos" is acknowledged for the first time with this
publication. Care has been taken to retain the youthful fire of the first
edition yet the text has been revised with new formulae and some new
illustrations never previously seen. It has been observed that the last hundred
years have seen myriads of books on occultism but very few occult books. Andrew
Chumbley's achievement is very unusual. The ability to create a grimoire is now
a rare art - one thinks of the work of Franz Bardens, Kenneth Grant and of
course Austin Osman Spare - there are very few others. Furthermore the books
themselves are created as talismans. Ideas incarnate intended as seeds to be
planted in the Universe. This copy is missing the talismans which would have

not dissapated by a nearer knowledge of it. It speaks of gloom in every recess
and we turn back, oppressed by the sullen genius of the place." Moreover
it presents a vision of sites being related by the fluid movement of animals

Kirk, The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Faunes and Fairies, IHO 2005 Paperback (xx) +
128pp Coloured frontispiece. Originally written in 1691 this is a truly
remarkable text. It describes a parrallel world to ours which interpenetrates
ours at certain places. The denizens, the faeries, elves and faunes “are of a
midle Nature betuixt Man and Angel” with
“Bodies of congealled Air” There relationship with humanity is
complicated, whilst they have their own agendas they also reflect mundane human
life with banquets, marriages, births and so forth, though the author notes
these may be for “.. Mock-show, or to prognosticate some such Things amongst
us”. The mirroring of human life can extend to there being “a Double Man”, or
“Reflex-man or Co-walker”, in the land of Faery for a living man. The writer of
this text was a Scottish minister. It is said that in 1692 he set off in his
nightshirt to Doon Hill a neaerby faery mound. He was found dead. After his
funeral Kirk appeared in a dream to a relative to say the body was not his but
his Reflex-man, and that he was trapped
in the world of Faery. But his wife was pregnant and he would appear at his
sons Christianing, if an iron knife was thrown over his head the human Reverend
Kirk would be released. Sure enough his ghost appeared at the service but
congregation were too shocked to follow his instructions and he was left
forever. Occult tradition has it that the Reverend Kirk now acts as a guide
between our world, the “midle-earth” and that of “the Subterraneans”. This
edition reproduces the Comment by folklorist Andrew Lang from the 1893 edition,
plus an Introduction by R.B. Cunninghame Graham. There is also a new
Prolegomenon by Alan Richardson, author of the Magical Life of Dion Fortune and
other works, which places the text in the context of modern occultism New Order No. 110420 £8.99
