Andrew Chumbley: THE SATYR'S SERMON Deluxe Edition
Deluxe edition 2009 84pp Xoanon small hardback. Illustrated. Letterpress printed in red, black and gold. Full brown morocco. Near fine in wooden box.
Ltd. ed. 97/111, includes talismanic wafer of the Corpus Satyri in hand written and numbered envelope. Completed in early 2004 and published 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.
