Ltd. ed. 68/111. Completed in early 2004 and published by Xoanon in 2009, The Satyr’s Sermon formed a portion of the Monadic Transmission Series of texts originally issued in hand-written, hand-illustrated editions of one copy only. Concerning the sorcerous precept of Unfettered Desire, the Sermon unfolds in parable form, orated by the twin sexual hypostases of the Sabbatic Agapae – The Satyr and the Virgin. The book gives voice to a connubial dialectic patterned upon 26 aphoristic formulae or ‘Sermons’ and their accompanying calligraphic sigils. Containing diverse formulae of magical adoration, the Sermon invokes the eternal mystae of The Beloved.
