QUTUB. Or, The Point.
Hercules, CA, USA: Xoanon Publishing, Midwinter 2008 [2009]. Second Edition -"Xoanon Liber Subsisivus" Hardcover. Octavo. 88 pages. Bound in full midnight blue goatskin with raised bands and gilt titling to spine and gilt "Point" to upper board. Black cloth slipcase. Blue marbled endpapers. B&W illustrations. The Second Edition of "Qutub or, The Point," by Andrew D. Chumbley, late Magister of the Cultus Sabbati. The edition-deluxe was limited to 72 specially-bound hand-numbered copies but this is one of a special post-publication sub-issue of the deluxe edition, with an unspecified but certainly tiny limitation, which has a seal with "Xoanon Liber Subsisivus" within a circle around a sigil, stamped in ink where the limitation number would normally appear. From the Publisher: "Qutub defines and illustrates the Design of Crooked Path Sorcery through a series of 72 poetic verses, each representing a specific arcanum of Draconian Gnosis. Arising from diverse initiatic currents and spiritual streams, this Wisdom encompasses the ancient Persian sorceries of the Maskarae and Yatukan; the pure mysticism and beauty of the Sufi Way; the Yezidis, collected Kurdish tribes comprising the "People of the Book", and the modern-day exemplar of the Witches' Sabbatic Cultus. Together, these sources inform and inspire the verses of Qutub, Point and Axis f the World, weaving a rich tapestry to which is appended a scholarly commentary. This Illumination ultimately comprises the body of the Dragon of Eld, the Ancient Serpent of Light whose totality manifests within the microcosmic earth as the Great Opposer, whose Rite is included in the book." A lovely, pristine Fine copy in near Fine slipcase (no dust jacket issued with this version). Item #59926
