Why I won’t buy, read, or review “The Green Mysteries” by Daniel Schulke

Three Hands Press has become an untrustworthy print on demand grift and Daniel Schulke, its sole proprietor, is as equally terrible at indie publishing as he is at writing intelligible books. A lot of people don’t know Daniel Schulke is the only person behind Xoanon and Three Hands Press. There’s no companies, no offices, no warehouses, no employees, and no cultus sabbati group, it’s literally just a dude. Despite claiming it was founded in 1992, Xoanon didn’t exist until post 2000 and it was just Chumbley self-publishing. After his death Schulke used it for self-publishing. Despite claiming it was founded in 2003, Three Hands Press was founded after Chumbley’s death in 2004 with its first book not published until 2009. I doubt Chumbley was ever involved. The press ran smoothly for a few years until Michael Howard (the anonymous unnamed partner who was the money and the publishing expert) died in 2015 and then it started to fall apart. Chumbley and Schulke are windy trash bags and always were. Stop listening to traditional witch influencers who make you think you have to have certain authors on your shelf to be legit. Neither has given anything back to the community. They never created community. Exclusion was their marketing ploy and it worked. Everyone wants into the exclusive club. It was always about book sales and the email list. Just an occult bro mlm. And y’all fell for it. Eight years to publish just one book and y’all still kissing Schulke’s ass after he spent all the preorder money, wouldn’t answer emails or give refunds, and then the book sucks? Insane.

We all dream; it is a mystery in which all humankind participates. I realise that this is an assumption, but it is one that I have no qualms in asserting as fact: the dream is an experiential universal for humanity. As the illustrious Sufi Ibn 'Arabi wrote in the Futuhat: "The only reason God placed sleep in the animate world was so that everyone might witness the Presence of Imagination and know that there is another world similar to the sensory world." (Chittick, 1989). Indeed, although the moment of waking may permit forgetfulness to draw a swift veil over the strange proceedings of the night and much that we dream may fall from conscious awareness back into the mysterious regions from whence it arose, there is without doubt no man or woman who has remained untouched, unmoved by the forms and forces of oneiric reality. Insofar as the capacity to dream is a universal doorway for mankind, set nightly ajar for the unknown to arise in consciousness, the dream is a potential portal for the "Other" - the "numinous" (Otto, 1914) to enter the individual and to transform the mundane, to shift the borders of meaning and, quite literally, to initiate change.

As Chumbley pointed out, the defining feature of the Cultus Sabbati was its specialized use of the mythology of the medieval and early modern European tradition of the Witches Sabbath as the idiom for its ritual practices. The whole complex of imagery that is the sabbath is esoterically understood as a temporal reality of ritual. When it is perceived through praxis, dream-as-ritual, and spirit mediumship its myriad forms yield new wisdom. This symbology served as wholly apposite ciphers for the teachings of oneiric flight, atavistic transformation, wortcunning, divination, ritualisation, dual-faith observance and spirit worship that forms the practical basis of the Sabbatic Craft. (May 2002)

There is a singularity of identity between the nature of the True Solitary and the truly autonomous magician. It is perhaps best realized through an understanding of the Sufic maxim: ‘To be /in/ the World, but not /of/ the World’.

The Time Body

“Your ‘Time Body’ is the totality of your being across time, all the experiences you have had in the past, will have in the future, and all the variants thereof” - Maurice Nicoll.

Situated in the Now, feel all these different variations flow through you, all the repetitions of each moment. Understand that each experience is a veil over your real essence, a form of play in the Game.

Eventually, withdraw your awareness from the flow, and reside in the Silence.

“When you are bound by the illusion: ‘I am this body’, you are merely a point in space and a moment in time. When the self-identification with the body is no more, all space and time are in your mind, which is a mere ripple in consciousness, which is awareness reflected in nature.” - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.

The magic circle in Babylonian Sorcery was called zisurru -meaning 'flour which makes a boundary'; this was because the circle was traced out by a trickle of flour - a practice still used in the Craft and the rites of Voudoun. The magician or witch was therefore 'the En-circling One' and this may be seen by looking at the names attributed to a sect of witches or sorcerers in Ancient Persia --the Yatukan· a sect believed to be of direct descent from the magicians of Chaldea and Babylon; this name is derived from the same roots as the name for sorcerers in the Atharva Veda, namely Yatuvidah -meaning 'Those who bewitch'; these early sorcerers were also called abhicarika which is derived from the sanskrit abhi-car meaning 'to bewitch or encircle'.

'It is said that [Khidir's] spiritual proximity is intimated as a "sudden flash of green light", identical to that associated with the otherworldly Green Knight in the medieval epic of Gawain. Whilst cultural variants are common in colour symbolism, the faerie-hued thread of greenness seems to wend a way through many lands, perhaps because it signifies Life itself, particularly the fertility of true spiritual life. Khidir's viridity recalls the smaragdine quality of the Heavenly Book and thus the "veridity" of the theophanic reality it signifies. This verdant quality similarly occurs in the visions of Hildegard of Bingen, who speaks of the veriditas or "greenness" of true visions in her Scivias (Fox, 1996).'

”I go to the Field of Corn at Midnight to suckle from the Mother-Grain, to drink the Milk of the Shadow's Pain, before the Dawn's Sword cleaves them. For I am Evil's Harvest-Child, born from the starry cleft of Night, arising with the Full Moon's Light; beneath whom my howls evoke. That which no Mortal Heart could bear. O' who shall see me? I, who prowl in Twilight - I, who am the Bane of all the Mortal Flock of Man. O' who shall see me? I, who do battle with the Strayed Souls of the Light - I, who am Hidden to All, save Those of Bless'd Sight.

All Men hate me, who am their tame guardian's sire. For have I not given suck unto many mortal babes, and have not the Children of the Dust drawn Fire from my breasts. I am Wolf-Mother and Wolf-Father am I, a Blessing to Those who hate me not. In the Wolf's Skin - I am Shadow. In the Wolf's Skin - I am Fire. Beware my Passing, Ye Tinder Field of Mortal Flesh! For no heart may feed me blood enough. Nor any Harvest satiate my Flame!”

- Azoetia, Andrew D. Chumbley
