Azoetia: A Grimoire of the Sabbatic Craft, Third Edition

Azoetia: A Grimoire of the Sabbatic Craft, Third Edition by Andrew Chumbley.

Andrew Chumbley placed the Sabbatic Craft and Crooked Path Sorcery traditions on the proverbial map through this brilliant and inspired masterpiece. Melding Traditional Cunning Craft and Typhonian Gnosis, Sabbatic Rites and Zos Kia sigilscapes, he helped spearhead and in many ways revivify the modern Traditional Craft movement. This Third edition of Azoetia: A Grimoire of the Sabbatic Craft is just a downright beautiful book, from sigilized dustjacket to graceful typeface. This is especially appreciated as Chumbley’s style, though certainly resonant and poetic, is not known for its brevity. Xoanon’s newest layout allows the text to breathe in a way previous editions have been unable, giving this grimoire the perfect balance of readability, ornamentation and resonance.

Due to a perpetual pledge of quality over quantity, only a few thousand printings will be released at a time, limiting one’s chances of getting a reasonably priced copy after the initial have been purchased. If it hasn’t already sold out by the time of this review, I’d strongly suggest acquiring one.
