Qutub
The Point
By Andrew D. Chumbley

Qutub treats of the Arcanum of the Opposer, a magical formula of the Crooked Path concerning the Powers of Self-overcoming. The book defines and illustrates the Design of Crooked Path Sorcery through a series of 72 arcane poetic verses, each representing a specific arcanum of Draconian Gnosis. Arising from diverse initiatic currents and spiritual streams, this Wisdom encompasses the ancient Persian sorceries of the Maskarae and Yatukan; the pure mysticism and beauty of the Sufic Way; the Yezidis, collected Kurdish tribes comprising the “People of the Book”, and the modern-day exemplar of the Witches’ Sabbatic Cultus. Together, these sources inform and inspire the verses of Qutub, Point and Axis of the World, weaving a rich tapestry to which is appended a scholarly commentary. This Illumination ultimately comprises the body of the Dragon of Eld, the Ancient Serpent of Light whose totality manifests within the miscrocosmic earth as the Great Opposer, whose Rite is included in the book.
