Ars Philtron: Concerning the Aqueous Cunning Of the Potion And Its Praxis in the Green Arte Magical.
Hercules, CA, USA: Xoanon Publishing, 2008. Edition Codex Vasculum. Hardcover. Octavo. 304 pages. Casebound in black decorated rust-colored cloth. Thirty-three illustrations, colored endpapers, lexicon. One of 720 hand-numbered clothbound copies of the greatly-expanded "Edition Codex Vasculum" (there were also two deluxe issues of 72 and 11 copies respectively). The work examines "Wortcunning and Sabbatic-alchemical gnosis as manifested through the medium of potion-making. Its text treats of the eight principal Sabbatic-alchemic philtre types, their pharmacoepia and formulation. Evocations to aspects of the Sabbatic Guardians Lilith and Cain are also given to empower the revelation and reification of the Philtre Arcana." The author was a friend of the late Andrew Chumbley, and is presently both the Magister of the Cultus Sabbati, as well as the Verdelet of the Tradition. It is from the Cultus Sabbati, in common with Chumbley's "Azoetia," that this book draws its inspiration. Very light bruising to spine ends - otherwise a lovely clean copy in Fine condition - basically as new (no dustjacket issued). Item #68895
