Khiazmos: A Book Without Pages Andrew D. Chumbley | 2017

Khiazmos is a posthumous grimoire of Sabbatic Wisdom, originally composed by Andrew D. Chumbley between 1993 and 1999 and left unpublished at his death in 2004. Its central subject is the force of Opposition — the paradoxical dynamic at the heart of Sabbatic Witchcraft and the animating principle of the magical art itself.

Written in aphoristic and poetic prose, Khiazmos deepens the philosophical foundations of the Current of Opposition within Sabbatic Craft tradition. The work draws from the void-vessel of the Circle, exploring the recursive interplay of Lawful and Unlawful, Flesh and Ghost, Light and Darkness, Known and Unknown — the comingling of forces that defines Crooked Path Sorcery. True to its paradoxical nature, the book was conceived as a living text that simultaneously wrote and unwrote itself in the reading.

The volume includes nine color plates of elemental automata drawn by Chumbley himself, and closes with an afterword by Soror Illithiya Shemhiya and Frater Akarais Hran-Issiyah of the Cultus Sabbati.

84 pages with 9 color plates.

Standard Edition: 727 hand-numbered copies, bound in gray cloth. NOTE that this book does NOT come with the typical dust jacket originally offered with the text and was provided this way by XOANON.
