This substantial work expounds the sorcerous ethos and praxes of the Crooked Path ritual system. Its contents include a cycle of ten extensive Mystery-rites, each accompanied by adjunctive solitary rituals and detailed commentaries. Additional texts relate the intricacies of Sabbatic ritualization, as well as an extensive body of stellar lore and ritual. The Sorcerous Formulae of Number and Sign are also communicated, together with detailed exegeses of the Quadriga, the specific covine-type of the Crooked Path. A detailed section on the Magical Weapons of the Draconian Sorcerer complements the text. This work is intended as an entire resumé of the ancestral and ophidian components of Traditional Craft Sorcery and Sabbatic Gnosis. The Dragon Book of Essex originally comprised a portion of the rites and practices of an inner conclave of the Cultus Sabbati known as The Column of the Crooked Path.

The Dragon-Book of Essex Reviews

  • A.D. Mercer

    Not a book you read, you 'absorb' it.
    Powerful and evocative writing. Chumbley was a master craftsman with words and art. Such a tragedy that he died so young.

    The book itself is over 800 pages long and each is practically A4 in size, so the work is vast. This is not a book that you would simply read cover to cover and then put away. The Dragon book as an 'active' grimoire of magic, designed to be worked and performed.
    There's so much more that I could say, but it's best to check it out for yourself. Although, like all Chumbley's, the price is rapidly going up!

    Pure sorcery. That's the only way a book as thorough and involved as this can exist. Certainly not for everyone but to those with the time for a working like this, this book is otherworldly.

  • Jess Flow

    Cost me a small fortune but worth the price. A very original and potent invention of a "traditional witchcraft."
