ANDREW CHUMBLEY September the 15th will mark the first anniversary of the death of a leading light in the realms of British Occultism. Andrew Chumbley was ust !" when he died# due to complications following a massive asthma attack. But already$ he had established himself as an innovative and inspirational writer. %is own form of Sabbatical &itchcraft has followers as far a field as America# even though all his publications were limited to ust a few hundred copies$ and are now trading for in e'cess of (5)) But what can be said of his innovative style of magick* Chumbley himself saw his work as very much a continuation of traditional witchcraft$ in the form of the +,sse' cunning man-$ the county from which he hailed. But a closer e'amination of his written work does suggest that there is more +under the surface- than a cursory reading would otherwise imply. %is art work clearly reflects an influence and interest in Austin Osman Spare$ the famous Occult artist$ but there are elements that are clearly Chumbley-s own$ and are reflective of his approach to magick. &hile his artwork is indicative of a form of magick that is a little different to traditional &itchcraft$ the prose of his written works does have the feel all its own. ooking at his published works in greater detail$ +/utub0 he 2oint- is actually a collection of Chumbley-s poetry and art$ which certainly is +esoteric- but it does give an insight to Chumbley-s mind set and approach to magick. +One0 3rimoire of the 3olden oad- is$ as it says$ a working grimoire. he special edition even includes a toad bone and a piece of skin. his relatively short work can be seen as a mere fragment of his magical world$ but contained within its pages is an effective system of evocation. 4escribed by Chumbley as A mystery6te't serving to reveal the Arcana of SABA7A8 SABA7A8AS AS being an e'position of the Ancient &iccan Craft initiation into the mysteries of the oadsmanship9$ oadsmanship9$ the work is suggestive of being a continuation of ancient witchcraft.

The Azoetia by Andrew Chumbley rom !Nuit "#i# Reader $%%&! ' !Hem Neter!
he A:oetia is a work of rare originality. Opening its pages$ the reader encounters pictures and prose of truly draconian darkness$ elaborate sigils$ spells$ sorcery and oracles$ giving the +sacred alignments- of a unio matter$ these images were produced without conscious intent and the material pulses with rich and eldritch life. he influence of Spare$ ovecraft and 3rant can be detected 6 yet Chumbley-s work goes beyond this and e'plores cells of dreams and instinct that have yet to be discovered. ;t is this original
Some of these changes may be subtle$ coming out of the subconscious realms of twilight mysteries to transform the entire personality if you will so. hus ; would not recommend the A:oetia as the good book for everyone. %owever if you like e'ploring in a new and bi:arre universe* ;f you thrive on nightside mysteries$ this is the book for you. 7eviewed by (an )rie#
Andrew D* Chumbley Andrew 4. Chumbley DSeptember 15 1EF"6September 15 G))HI was an ,nglish writer$ poet$ artist$ practitioner6theorist of modern magic$ and @agister of the magical group Cultus Sabbati. %e died on his thirty6seventh birthday following a severe asthma attack. Chumbley published a number of limited edition books through his own private press 8oanon 2ublishing$ and a series of a rticles in various occult maga:ines# these conveyed aspects of doctrine and practice of a tradition of sorcery which he called JSabbatic CraftJ. According to Chumbley the term Kdescribes the way in which elements of witch6lore$ Sabbath mythology and imagery were being employed in the cunning6craft tradition into which ; was originally inductedK.L1M %is work is an unusual e'pression of modern & itchcraft$ for which he claimed provenance from pre6 modern revivalist forms.LGM %is earlier work was published in the Chaos @agic ournal Chaos ;nternational$ and later work appeared in Starfire$ ournal of the yphonian OO$ and in the long6 established British witchcraft maga:ine he Cauldron. Chumbley was well respected within the occult communityL!M and his books continue to command very high resale prices. 4aniel Alvin Schulke succeeded him as @agister of Cultus Sabbati.
"nluen+e# Although Chumbley was mainly known for his involvement with traditional ,nglish &itchcraft$LHM especially that of the county of ,sse'$L5M his occult interests and influences were e'tremely diverse. Schulke writes of ChumbleyJs interests$ KChumbleyJs magical work spanned many fields of sorcerous influence$ including Sufism$ left6hand antra and 2etro NoodooK.LFM Some influences on his work are those of the artist6occultist Austin Osman Spare and author6occultist =enneth 3rant. Chumbley evidently respected and was familiar with 3rantJs work and there appears to have been contact between the two magicians 6 at one time Chumbley operated an independent magical lodge that was affiliated to 3rantJs yphonian OO.L"M SpareJs philosophy of the J=iaJ almost certainly influenced the non6dual gnosis which is a key element in ChumbleyJs system$ although the J4octrine of the NoidJ DShunyavataI is a foundation concept o f antrism$ which is likely to have affected ChumbleyJs work thorough the ?ttara =aula Sampradaya$ of which he was an initiate. LM ;n he A:oPtia the concepts of K& ill$ 4esire$ BeliefK are presented as a threefold unity operative in sorcery# this is ultimately derived from SpareJs work$ although the primary te'tual source is 3rant. LEM he use of sigils and magical glyphs in ChumbleyJs work also suggests a derivation from Spare$ though for both authors the precedent was the tradition of magical grimoires including he =ey of Solomon and 3oPtia. ChumbleyJs familiarity with a broad range of &estern esoteric doctrines that included =abbalah$ ,nochian @agic$ the magic of the %ermetic Order of the 3olden 4awn$ and the helemic school of Aleister Crowley is demonstrated in he A:oPtia and subse
all are brought to function within the trans6historical arena of the sacred dimension$ whether it be the magical circle of & itcherie or the >inefold 2lot of Sigaldry.K L5M Schulke$ in writing of ChumbleyJs magical recension observed that KChumbleyJs grimoire A:oPtia$ though wholly a reification of traditional British witchcraft$ makes use of Sumerian$ ,gyptian$ e:idi$ Arabic$ and A:tec iconography$ among others.K LFM Chumbley asserted that such pan6cultural eclecticism was needful in order to revivify elements of pra'is previously e'istent$ though dormant or forgotten$ in his own tradition$ whose transmission had relied on oral lore and personal contact between successive generations of initiates.

Do+trine and Method ChumbleyJs work proposes a doctrine of Jranscendental SorceryJ$ founded on his belief that all forms of magic arise from a single source$ which he termed the J@agical /uintessenceJ# K@agick is the transmutability of the /uintessence of all natureK L1M he wrote$ adding$ KSorcery is the knowledge of the universal points of transmutation. ;ts Art is to cultivate the ability to manipulate these foci of power in accordance with &ill$ 4esire and Belief.K L1M Chumbley considered the practice of willed dreaming essential as a means of interacting directly$ and consciously$ with the spiritual dimensions he called Jthe %igh SabbatJ# he commented0 K,very word$ deed and thought can empower$ magnetise$ and establish points of receptivity for a magical dream$ likewise any of these means can do the opposite 6 fi'ating perception in a manner that is not receptive 6 that seals the soul in the body instead of enabling it to go forth at will.K L1M ;n conunction with dreaming and trance e'perience Chumbley used different methods of automatic writing and drawing to manifest the knowledge drawn from ritual magic# this procedure$ in which the magician offers her or himself as a vehicle for the forces summoned instead of utilising another as medium$ is rarely encountered in occult tradition 6 the modern e'emplar perhaps being Austin Osman Spare. he results of ChumbleyJs practices can be seen in his drawings and sigillisations# further$ he believed that the natural manifestation of magical gnosis and power occurs through creative activity0 K4reaming and the mutual translation of dreamt ritual and ritual6as6dreamt form the basic rationale and conte't for our work. he active discourse between initiates and our spirit6 patrons inspires and motivates this dreaming. his is demonstrably manifest in the magical artistry of individual initiates$ whether through te't$ ritual performance$ song$ tapestry$ craftsmanship$ or image.K L11M
Written and illu#trated wor,# ChumbleyJs first book he A:oPtia$ was published privately by the author in 1EEG as a softcover volume under the 8oanon imprint. his ambitious work was greeted with reviews praising its scope and originality by influential contemporary practitioners including reya Aswynn$ 2hil %ine and Ran ries.

A tenth anniversary edition$ revised to include further te'tual and illustrative material was issued by 8oanon 2ublishing on October !1st$ G))G as A:oPtia DSethos ,ditionI. 2art of the bookJs significance in modern occult literature lies in its conscious reinvention of the format of the JgrimoireJ$ or sorcererJs instruction book$ and it set the theme and pace for ChumbleyJs subse
