As the incepting text of Xoanon Limited, Andrew D. Chumbley's visionary book 'The Azoëtia: A Grimoire of the Sabbatic Craft' was first published in 1992 and is regarded as the foundation text of the Sabbatic Craft Tradition. The grimoire 'Azoëtia' is comprised of three main parts: an exposition of preliminary magico-aesthetic formulae with detailed descriptions of working instruments, the full text of the Sabbatic Rituals of Ingress, Congress, and Egress, and an eleven-chaptered grimoire detailing the arcana and composite practices of the Sacred Alphabet - the twenty-two lettered code of sorcerous principles underlying the practical spectrum of the Arte Magical. The entire work intends the reification of traditional British cunning-craft praxis according to the spiritual vision and artistry of a contemporary initiate.
