Andrew 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 acompanied it.  Fine in Fine Slipcase Order No. 440002 £900

They are open to the sense of place, at one point in their travels, "The hostile aspect which the camp persents when viewed from a distance is 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."

Robert 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
