Hercules: Three Hands Press, 2017. Limited to 750 copies only. A FINE PREMIUM CLOTH COPY IN FINE DUST JACKET. Artwork by Benjamin Vierling. The principal concern of this volume is the intersection of magic and poison, which finds its origins in remote antiquity, and now reaching into the occult traditions of present day. Beyond their functions as agents of bodily harm, poisons have also served as gateways of religious ecstasy, occult knowledge, and sensorial aberration, as well as the basis of manifold cures of the body and mind. This magical tradition can be found in the rites of ancient Sumer and Egypt, through European Necromancy, Alchemy, and modern-day folk magic.

Xoanon Publishing, 2018. Limited to 496 hand-numbered copies only. A FINE CLOTH VOLUME, bound in lush Carmine, with a special letterpress printed dust jacket. With Images by James Dunk. In the central Adytum of the Crooked Way, apostasy is wed to orthodoxy, and lies to truth, in a unification of opposites; thus, the sum is negation through opposition. Published for the first time, the "Via Tortuosa" is a grimoire elaborating the occult ontology of Crooked Path Sorcery by three initiates of the order. Its diverse by-ways and their spheres of gnosis are examined through essay and allegory, including the Opposer, the Serpent of Eld, the Crooked Step, the Transfiguration of the New Flesh, and the Embrace of the Other. The Mysterium is set forth in three sections: Exegesis, Prayer, and The Parables of the Exiled. The whole is illustrated with ten original drawings by Canadian artist, James Dunk, each embodying the aberrant hypostases of the Crooked Gods. 160 pages. Small octavo.
