FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
This
enchiridion for the Black Dragon is the first volume for expounding
sorcery associated with the dirt track road, which must forever be
adumbrated by the outer precinct of the crooked path, for this inner
sanctum presents the dirt ridden yet adamantine road which leads to
the Black Dragon and the great mystery of telluric sorcery. It began
as a realisation of a work that was formed by the Dragon’s Column,
this being the working group that went on to contribute towards
Andrew Chumbley writing The Dragon Book of Essex. Yet there are some
stark contrasts to be made between this book and that, for the reader
must know this is an earth bound book. This is to be realised by
turning away from the heavens and looking beyond into the defiled
depths of those who have fallen into the coils of Azde-Ahab-Haris. By
having recognised this rhizomatic network of endless possibilities,
the demiurgic force imbibing the ophidian flow has placed confidence
in those who work with both hands by transmitting this work. As a
result, the book leads the reader through a sequence of ritual
actions and interactions with specific daemons associated with points
on the Black Dragon, with each point acting as a gateway for reifying
the very principle of Being through the notion of becoming.
Anticipatory in nature, the trappings of ceremonial magic are here
discarded. The sorcerer instead locates the ritual space through
flesh in relation to the horizon, the Proklosis Ring. At this
non-place the sorcerer is encouraged to follow the instructions and
insights contained in this grimoire, for there are steps and measures
which must be taken to traverse the Black Dragon’s form. By so
doing the horizon becomes the coiled serpent, and the earth becomes
the gateway through which to engage with the ophidian source for all
our Otherness.
A central
motif to the book are the ordeals and rites which are expected to be
performed, these are not restricted to an annual cycle, however, but
are best placed and enacted at times which are felt to be
appropriate. But be warned, the complete ritual text has yet to be
published, and therefore what you have here is a guide towards being
able to perform the rituals up to the Dragon’s Head. Of course,
there are many ritual text extracts featured throughout the Volume I,
however, it became apparent that anyone who wished to undertake this
ritual ordeal must first comprehend what is being asked of them. At
the heart of this book’s conception is the Black Dragon, the
enshadowed version of Draconis, this entity predates the stellar
manifestation, for Azde-Ahab-Haris was born from void. Interred at
the moment space became something from nothing, the Black Dragon
buried a fragment of its form across the cosmos. Together these
points continue to sing the songs of liberation from the
gravitational pull of destiny. For the sorcerer, this relationship is
born from wanting to experience in a ritual setting the ex-carnation
of Self, this is to be accomplished by fragmenting the mundane so
that it might reveal the sorcerous-self. The Black Dragon under this
guise is a conduit for developing crooked path sorcery, albeit this
remains above the auspices of the inner sanctum of the dirt track
road.
Lying at
the very heart of the Dragon’s Column there emerged a hidden route,
crooked and coarse, where the sorcerer placed the wondering mind upon
the Dragon’s anvil, and from this conjunction came the scales of
the Black Dragon, which then merged with that of the void to make the
sorcery presented amongst the pages of this book. Cast from the one
who founded The Dragon’s Column and who introduced Andrew Chumbley
to the ophidian flow, the Et Nigrum Draconicum presents for the very
first time the quintessence of working with the telluric
Azde-Ahab-Haris…the Black Dragon.
The
companion cards, “Icons of the Black Dragon,” serve to facilitate
the workings of the text as a point of contact with the forces
described therein.

FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
Icons of
the Black Dragon, in an act of pure cartomancy, have been made to
enhance practices concerned with the sorcerous work that lies ahead.
Each card depicts a daemon, djinn, or sigil relating to those who
follow the Black Dragon. Each set has accordingly been designed so
that one can open the Gateway to the Beyond and enter the Lair of the
Black Dragon, and as such each card shall act as a cypher. Drawing
directly from the grimoire, “Book of the Black Dragon,” each
image is accompanied by a title and thus the adept will be able to
find the corresponding text for each card.
