ORIGINAL ARTWORK
Andrew Chumbley, Founder of the Cultus Sabbati, a modern
manifestation of the witchcraft.
Manifestation of Famulus
Pen and ink on folded sheet of paper. 8 inches x 6 inches. Signed
using magical name "Alogos". The word "Famulus" is defined
as "a servant or slave, especially of a servant or magician". Of this
image, Andrew wrote:-
The body in ritual becomes the primary
object, role and space of ritual. The hand in magical aesthesis becomes the
ritualist. If bound by cord till devoid of sense and used as a vessel for
daimonic evocation, the hand becomes a new thing. The cord loosed permits the
magician's senses to commingle with the indwelling daimon and the process of
expression may begin. Alongside oneiric inspiration, automatism, obsessional
self-projection, sigillation, this technique forms part of the
artist-magician's repertoire. The compositions are the shed skins of the
process, the actuality of the artistry is the operator, who, in passing through
all things, is transformed and is made knowing.
The present image shows a spirit
converging on a point in a dream landscape, alongside the convergence of sigils
to a point of being.
The detail is extraordinary, as shown by these expanded views
showing, in each instance, about a single square inch of the drawing
The title is inscribed in pencil by artist on the reverse:-
The are some very slight
and unobtrusive creases (exaggerated in the image). Order Ref. 122-01

Grand
Sidereal Congrusses
Andrew's inscription on reverse.
COPY OF DRAWING
made by the artist and signed by him on reverse. 42cms x 28cms. The
deliberately unfamiliar term "congrusses" is Latin for
"congress" and has the same ambiguity, meaning both assembly, as in
the "Grand Sabbat", as well as sexual intercourse. “Sidereal”
literally means "of the stars" though the nature of the drawing
suggests the artist uses the word in the additional sense that Austin Osman
Spare did when referring to his "Sidereal Portraits", meaning an
intersection of viewpoints, suggesting an intermutation of levels or
dimensions, particularly the astral and the mundane. Spare suggested this by
portraying a distorted face that takes on a conventional form when the viewer
looks at it from an extreme angle (a process which reminds us that the
magician's exhortations for a spirit to appear in comely form - which may
require the conjurer to achieve a special state, as much as the spirit).
Chumbley's tack is very different. Tentacles of organic form, ambivalently
animal or plant, but certainly living reach up through a fractured plane,
casting shadows into other dimensions, indicated by geometrical lines
suggesting folds.
This facsimile passed
from the artist to Robert Fitzgerald, a prominent member of the Cultus Sabbati,
who has had writings published by Xoanon and Three Hands Press. Thence, it was
given to a witch after she met the artist in 2004ev and commenced a year of
practice as given to potential members of the Cultus, to determine if they
belonged. In due course, the witch realised the Cultus was not for her. It
relates to the Rite of the Opposer, which is given in Qutub, whereby the
practitioner undertakes to sacrifice everything to the Other, the Shadow Self,
so as the transcend the Abyss. The Rite of the Opposer may use stellar analogues
to the Self and the Shadow, namely the Pole-star and the Dog-star reminding us
that the traditional usage of the term "Sidereal" - "of the
stars" - also applies.
This authorised copy,
made and supplied by the artist for framing has a striking provenance which
reveals much about the operation of the Cultus Sabbati in Andrew’s day. Order Ref. 122-02 £275

Roberto Milusic
Migliussi, was the founder of the influential underground
magazine Idola Tribus in Italy in the 1980's. He has done much to bring the
work of English language occultists to the attention of the Italian speakers,
publishing translations of Austin Osman Spare, Kenneth Grant, Gavin Semple,
Zivorad Mihajlovic Slavinski (who worked with Bertiaux and about whom Grant
writes about at length in Beyond the Mauve Zone) and numerous other occultists.
He has also promoted the work of Michael Bertiaux, the Ecclesia Gnostica Alba (an
offshoot of the Ecclesia Gnostica
Spiritualis, the Gnostic church founded by Bertaiux) and the Esoteric Order of
Dagon.
It seems reasonable to see in the finished drawing
entities, demons bringing ideas and possibilities, appear before a linear flux.
The entities are born of the extensive work with automatic drawings represented
by the sketch book.

2011, card covers 28cm x 21cm, spiral binding with 100pp all with automatic
drawings. The intent was to concentrate upon the technique, so the mind falls
into the appropriate altered state, allowing the pen and paper to become
vehicle for uncovering the inner wellhead of creative ideas and insights. It is
a way to deal with the inner demons that manifest in the shapes the pen
describes upon the paper, allowing them to appear and bring new opportunities
into the life of the artist. Some sample pages appear below. Order Ref.

Spare - Property of a Gentleman
Spare’s Cave, Boro,
pen, ink and watercolour, 9cm x 14cm
initials featuring as a design component in picture. Spare had an
understandable fascination with stalagmite and stalactite formations, and drew
them from pictures in books. He clearly felt real affinity for this one. It is
probably in, or near, Boro or Borough an area of New South Wales, Australia
that is near a number of world famous limestone caves. None seem to be now
known as “Spare’s Cave” but names of sites can change. Or perhaps he imagined
it so, as he drew the very phallic stalagmite bearing his initials. His
personal identification with the image and the initials featuring as a
component of the view, makes this Spare cave picture special and it provokes
thought concerning the significance of stalagmites for Spare generally. Circa
1926, judging by the form of the initials.

To Show the remembrance and to
Bring the Friendship of Austin Osman Spare, pen,
ink and watercolour on postcard approx. 14cm x 9cm. Addressed to Millicent
Paine it is sent from 56A Walworth Road, the studio where Spare resided, and
exhibited, from 1936 until 1941 when Hitler destroyed it with a bomb. Millicent
Paine was and old friend of Spare’s, they knew each other in their schooldays
and she had “walked out” with his brother when they were young. She had found
the Walworth Road studio for him when she was working for an estate agent. The
destruction of his studio was a disaster for Spare. He lost all his possessions
and lived off charity in doss houses for awhile. Millicent took him in at 5
Wynne Road and he worked in the basement and took on the lease. This is clearly
and artistic spell to reinforce their friendship, a sigilistic self portrait, his
signature incorporated into his hair, morphing into organic growth with an aura
of vibrationary energy kin to his vibrationary portraits. The many creases to
the card can be seen in the images. Order

Anon., Grimoire of the
Spirit of the Place, Society of Esoteric Endeavour 2007, 1st
Edition, large format (10½ ins x 7 ins)
20pp. Numbered limited edition of 80 copies, this being copy No. 61 Large
format 13ins x 9ins, padded boards, pigskin leather label, linen cover secured
with pigskin leather ties. The original manuscript was penned in French in the
late 18th Century. It seems to describe a ritual that the writer carried out.
Protection is sought from a demonic Trinity before Christian powers are used to
evoke an infernal spirit, specially associated with the place of the working,
into a piglet that is led into a magic circle where it is slain. This releases
the spirit but it he is constrained within the circle until he signs the
Grimoire of the title, which has been prepared according to certain
specifications. The book is then
treated like a child, being baptised with a godparent present and so forth. The
text states that if you are in possession of the original Grimoire “..or one
like it” then you do not have to perform the complete ritual but just read out
the conjurations. The original spirit will then send one of his minions to
assist you. For this reason this the physical manifestation of this, the first
ever edition, is guided by the specifications given in the text, being 20
leaves, bound in shot taffeta (which shimmers in different colours) and wrapped
in a cross shaped piece of linen. Fine Order Ref. 122-18 £750
Anon. (attributed Dr.
Johann Faust), Praxis Magica Faustiana, Society of Esoteric
Endeavour 2011. Numbered limited
edition of 180 copies. Limp covers in glassene dustwrapper (38pp) printed in
black and red on 160gsm laid paper, silk place ribbon. This text was published
as a series of 11 lithographs of text and illustration in the middle of the
19th Century in a collection of chapbooks, fairy tales and other popular
miraculous literature. The commentary
addresses the significance of the illustrations. They enunciate a surprisingly
sophisticated magical philosophy, more easily described than categorised.
Christian powers of Light are utilised to control Lucifer (the light bearer)
who is followed by his dark counterpart Mephistophiles (Greek for
“Not-light-lover”) who is the terrifying other who can negate the ego of the

Xoanon 2002 Hardback ix + 365pp Illustrated. Copy number 167 of

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 Fine Order Ref. 122-22 £350

the recipient. Therein is a printed card, folded once which has been signed by
the author with his magickal name and sigilised calligraphic flourish, and

light card heavily sigilised, signed and inscribed by the author using metallic
inks. This is entitled “Sabatrachion”. There is also a small envelope inscribed
“Blackthorn, Toadskin + Bone” by the author with decorative scrolls and a
sigil. This contains a blackthorn spike and a talisman formed with green ink
and metallic paints upon a triangular piece of toadskin plus also an actual
toad bone. The latter being absent in all copies aside from a very few actually
given by the author to magickal colleagues.

2009, Standard edition limited to 333 hand numbered copies, this being copy No.
226. Small landscape format (3.25ins x 6ins) 84pp Printed in three colours by
letterpress (ie old fashioned type or plates pressing wet ink onto the paper –
considered the best form of printing, but so very rarely done nowadays). Black
endpapers. Quarter leather binding with blocked design on front board and gilt
blocked title and raised bands on spine. The goatskin leather is richly
textured. It is contained in a well-made cloth bound slipcase. The text was
written in early 2004 as one of the series of Monadic Transmission grimoires,
each being a hand written manuscript book enclosed with talismanic objects in a
wooden box. Some were passed by the author to trusted associates and some were
sent out into the Universe, the author deliberately taking no role in deciding
their destination, like a seed cast into the wind, to see where they might
land. This was one of the latter, which found its way back to the Cultus
Sabbati to be issued in this limited edition by Xoanon. The text consists of
two sets of Aphorisms with accompanying coloured sigils, the first set being
titled "The 13 Maxims of the Brothel", the second "The Virgin's
Gift, also Called Virtues Higher than Morals". The themes are decidedly
sexual and the result is a truly fine example of Andrew's artwork and poetry
elegant presented in a manner entirely sympathetic to the original. Mint in

at http://www.paypal.com/, my user names
are my email address:-
ben@caduceusbooks.com or ben@cadu.demon.co.uk
Many people find this the
most convenient form of payment
2) Credit card
(Mastercard, Access or Visa) or Debit Card (Switch or Solo). Please note that I
do also need the security code (the three digits on the reverse of the card)
and the address to which the card is registered. For security reasons some
people like to send their number in the following ways:--
a) By fax
b) Telephone (there is an
answering machine to which only I have access when I am not here)
c) Divide it into two and
send it in two separate email messages.
d) Encode it. I would
suggest leaving the first four digits unchanged but for the remaining digits
and security code add 3 to each digit (ie 1 becomes 4, 7 becomes 0, 9 becomes 2
etc) leaving the expiry date unchanged. This arrangement can be referred to as
"YOUR CODE"
e) Spell some of the
numbers out eg 44six8 etc
3) International Money
Order made out in British Currency
4) Foreign cash small
amounts please send securely, large amounts please send by registered post.
