Originally written
between 1993 and 1999, this book, which expounds the Sabbatic
principle of transcendence through Opposition, was not published in
Andrew's lifetime.
Khiazmos articulates the paradoxical
arcanum of Opposition—an essential dynamic force of Sabbatic
Witchcraft—which animates the Art of Magic itself, through
aphoristic formulae. Like the mystical formats of the riddle,
parable, and koan, the book utilises strategies of arcane, recursive
exposition to embody transcendent truths about magic, the spirit
world, the stance of the sorcerer, and the Sabbat of the Witches. The
living book, as conceived in the Vision of the Scribe, possessed the
power to transcend its material corpus, and simultaneously wrote and
unwrote itself as it was read, creating the titular absence of pages.
The magical insights expressed through the various modalities of the
book are borne of dream and the contemplative nexus informing the
stance in the midst of the cross-ways, the projection of the
Sorcerous ‘I’ beyond the point at the Circle’s heart. In accord
with the great magico-literary corpus of the Sabbatic Tradition,
Khiazmos resounds with the voice of its author, in Speech and
Silence, in Image and Sigil. The book is 88 pages, printed on heavy
stock, with ten automatic drawings by the Author in full colour, and
featuring an Afterword by Frater A.H.I. and Soror I.S. of the Cultus
Sabbati.
