Full offence but I feel like people wouldn't care nearly as much about Chumbles or Schulke or anything else pertaining to Cvltvs Sabbati if their books were published as mass-market paperbacks by Llewellyn. Their entire image is built on a foundation of artificial scarcity fostered entirely by vulture capitalism and the entire thing would be a footnote in Craft history if it had been published by Llewellyn. And not modern actually-publishes-decent-shit Llewellyn either, like, late 90s-era Llewellyn, DJ Conway-era Llewellyn.
There, I said it.

Hey there! I’ve followed you for a bit but haven’t asked you much yet! So I’ve got one for you—what are your general thoughts on Chumbley’s work? Any books you recommend regarding Cultus Sabbati?
Hello! hope all is well 😁
Admittedly I’ve read more Schulke than Chumbley, though I do enjoy his works. I enjoy his writing style more than Schulke’s, tho like most sabbatic literature it can be hard to grasp but that’s the point! I enjoy the emphasis on ecstatic and oneiric experiences, the draconic motifs, the stellar motifs. It’s kinda what I was looking for when I got interested in witchcraft as a pre-teen. Sabbatic lit provided me structure as I was leaving behind the New Age stuff, which I desperately needed as I no longer had the structure of Wicca.
I’d recommend Azoetia, Lux Haeresis, Opsulca Magica and Qutub to somebody newer to sabbatic craft. I also really really enjoy Viridarium Umbris, Ars Philtron!
Pretty sure all of these are easy to find as PDFs. VK who? 👀
Just for transparency’s sake I am very much a novice, I have been practicing trad craft for like 6 ish years? Gotta long way to go!

It is typical of genuine Cunning-folk to utilize whatever is closest at hand and to turn all influences, irrespective of religious provenance, to the secret purposes of the Arte. It is therefore that the Old Craft embraces for itself an array of attitudes and methods, ranging from the simple matters of spell-craft to the highest ceremonial forms of conjuration; in all contexts one may find pieces of magical lore and belief from many disparate times and places, but all are brought to function within the trans-historical arena of the sacred dimension […] From out of its roots in folk magic, in all of its many aspects, the form of the Traditional Craft is continually evolving, and it is in this respect that one may perceive the trajectories of its own possibilities. The spiritual landscape of the Arte is being molded, through the power of its own current, by a potent aesthetic of mythopoetic eclecticism; its rich variety of ancestral lore is achieving a new definition of form, culminating in the refinement of a profound metaphysic of ecstasy: The true wisdom-teaching of magical gnosis.

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.

It was Christmas Season 2018, Yule time if you prefer, when I was browsing for books online one evening & I stumbled upon a title known as “The Pillars of Tubal Cain”. I was not entirely sure what to expect from the book, I ordered it on a whim, and shortly after its arrival my life would be changed forever. To shortly summarize the Pillars of Tubal Cain is a book written by Michael Howard and Nigel Jackson. To my knowledge the book is a collection of articles from Michael Howard’s “The Cauldron” magazine and website that provided a series of articles regarding traditional witchcraft running from the 1970’s until Michael Howard’s passing in 2015. The book covers many topics such as the roots of Angelic Magick, Yezidism and the Peacock Angel, Esoteric Taromancy, the Knights Templar, Solomons Temple, the Fallen Angels etc.
I post this blog to give credit to Michael Howard for providing a gateway for me into Sabbatic Craft which later on sparked my deeper interest into Arabic sorcery and their potential relationship. Michael Howard’s work sparked me greatly, I began to research everything about him, as knowing the author can sometimes teach you more than the books themselves. I started by purchasing associated titles involving Michael Howard, one of which was “The Luminous Stone” edited by him partially. It was when I opened this book that I realized Michael Howard had died in 2015. I felt this strange coldness in my chest when I read this, knowing I would never be able to speak to this man. It was then when I was lead to the work of Andrew Chumbley and the Cultus Sabbati, as for me this seemed an accessible root into Howards influences. Michael Howard had been initiated into the Sabbatic Cultus in 1999. It was not until I read Eikostos, the Xoanon Bibliography that I learned that Michael Howard was credited for "facilitating the placement of our grimoires in the hands of worthy owners." This quote is from Daniel A. Schulke, found in the forward of Eikostos.
About a few months after my reading of Pillars that I had acquired a copy of the Azoetia by Andrew Chumbley, following my digestion of Michael Howards work. At this time, I am trying to narrow down exactly how much is respectable to say of my work with this grimoire, one thing I will say is it birthed the coven and its structure which I currently oversee. The Pillars of Tubal Cain spoke of the legend of the battle in heaven between the Arch angel Michael/Mik’hail and the fallen angel Lucifer. It was said in the battle of heaven that the arch angel struck Lucifer’s brow, which lead an emerald to fall to the earth. This emerald would be proposed to be many things, or a part of many things, such as the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, and the “emerald table” of King Arthur. It was theorized this strike towards Lucifer’s brow created what is known as the Mark of Qayin, synonymous with the Third Eye, or Ajna Chakra in many witchcraft traditions around Britain especially.
So, what is the Emerald Scar? The exact same thing to me. If the emerald falls to earth from Lucifer’s brow, it creates an Emerald Scar. This legend and Michael’s work along with practice of the Azoetic arcana led me to form a small circle that would “embody the entirety of witch blood “. The concept of Via Nocturna propounded by Nigel Jackson referenced by Andrew Chumbley in Opuscula Magica Vol. 1 stuck with me greatly the more I learned about it.
It is termed as "the invisible conclave of initiates conjoined through parity of experience within trance-ecstasis, Its wisdom is accessible to those whom have passed through the transliminal gateways of this world and whom have undertaken the initiatory night-journey to the oneiric realms of the Sabbatic revelry." Within the Sabbatic conclaves of the Greater Dream, the dream beyond the dream, I glimpsed through the Emerald Jewel a series of phantasmagoric visions which lead me to believe that an initiatory path via the Golden Chain had opened for me. I want to add that the Golden Chain of initiation isn’t even a concept coined entirely by Andrew, it is very much related to the Naqshbandi Sufi order as a way of initiation via lineage. This Golden Chain is discussed as a concept in Pillars early on. I believe Andrew Chumbley understood this concept to a deep degree, considering his vast crediting towards Sufic orders in his 1995 work, Qutub. Qutub especially had an impact on my desire to find missing links between Arabic Magic and Sabbatic Craft, especially due to Chumbley's reference of many terms used in Sabbatic tradition which are directly linked to Arabic Etymology and practice, as well his reference of the Sufic sect of the Mullamatiyah, the Jhakri of Nepal, the Yezidi of Kurdistan, the Dhu'l-qarneni of medieval Morocco. Over time I had begun to form my own view of the cosmos based mostly (at least at first) on the work of the Cultus Sabbati and associates.
With the launch of the Emerald Scar website, we find it fitting to give credit to those who helped spark our inception. We have no direct affiliation with the Cultus Sabbati whatsoever, their works however were a major focal point for us.
I personally also had the pleasure of visiting Essex, Andrew’s home county in England for the Nameless Arte Conference in 2019. There I was able to meet A.D Mercer author of Liber Coronzom & Runen Wisdom of the Runes, Gemma Gary Co-owner of Troy Books & author of Traditional Witchcraft: A Cornish Book of Ways, The Devils’s Dozen, & the Charmers Psalter, last but not least Martin Duffy author of Effigy, The Devils Raiments, and the newly published Anathema Maranatha. Meeting these authors and associates of Three Hands Press provided me with a lot of inspiration to continue the workings that I was undergoing at that time. It’s been 3 years now since I first got into the works of Cultus Sabbati and its associates and I still continue this work within my chosen "Cells" of Magical Arcana. I would also like to thank James Hunter-Ralston for being a dynamic figure in my journey and helping me to meet many of authors who inspired me. Throughout the "unfoldment" of the work more credit to inspirations will be given and more exposition shall be offered into the arcanum of the Emerald Scar. We look forward to those who wish to join us at the Emerald Flame of the High Witch Sabbat.

Andrew Chumbley lived in his parents' house until he was like 35, was a weirdo who was, in addition to many other cringe activities, into Thelema, and had dreadlocks. In my futile attempt to imagine what he would have done in his real mundane life to support himself and keep the freezer stocked with chicken tendies I can conclude only that he would have been some kind of low-grade retail peon, similar to King of the Hill's Ward Rackley. This is giving me a Major Problem, as the resemblance is uncanny.

To Fly By Night
For this deed of Arte a leather thread and a hagstone are required; the latter being a stone thorough which there is a hole naturally worn through: A gateway graven by the hands of earth and charmed to open by the tongues of the river. Taking the hagstone in one’s grasp, one should contemplate its opening and entreat it to be a doorway for your going-forth in dreams. One should then take leathern thread and, holding it in one’s hands, should fantasize about the ways of the magical night-procession.
Consider the spirits. Think of She who flies forth out of the body and into the freedom of the darksome midnight. Ascend with the spirits through the openings of the flesh; take leave of your mortal abode and roam abroad with the unseen company of the Aire. Step upon the wind and lay yourself into the arms of the sky. Hear the sonorous beating of bird-wing and spirit-wing; hear the rhythm of their flight echoing words of enchantment, patterning the nocturnal plains with sigils of forgotten desires. Behold the gateways to the Other: Silhouettes glimpsed against the vault of the stars. Be at one with them; be at one with the night-wandering host of the sky. Let the coolth of the star-river enliven your soul and lead you to the scent-trail of the pathless path. Hear the wing-beats of the spirit and feel your heart-beats; hear the heart’s drum and count your steps into the boundless dance of god, man and beast. Behold the companions of the round dance. Behold!
With each poignant atmosphere of fantasy, knot the thread and thus create a rosary of dreaming potentials. When the thread has seven knots, pass it through the mouth of the hagstone and tie to form a loop through which one’s hand may be placed. The stone and thread should be entreated with a final prayer for the spell to work. Then, at the end of one’s waking day, the stone should be held in one’s hand (generally the one most seldom used) and the cord wrapped around the wrist. The stone should rest within the hand like a child in its crib. Then I bid you forget about it ‘til morning. Perchance in dreaming your spirit shall pass through the stone-mouth and wander abroad in the night-walkers’ procession, flying freely to the place that some have called ‘Sabbat’. Where-ever the dreaming takes you, the thread of knots shall guide and bring you home, once more to waken at the edge of day.
