Qutub, Second Edition
Or, The Point
by Andrew D. Chumbley
2008
Qutub concerns the Arcanum of the Opposer, a doctrine expressing the powers of Self-overcoming, the knowledge, empowerment and transmutation of the Shadow. Through a series of 72 arcane poetic verses, Chumbley’s work draws inspiration from the ancient Persian mysteries 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.
Textually, the second edition of Qutub, published at Midwinter 2008, remains unchanged from the first edition. However, the text and images are newly typeset and possess subtly different bindings.
The work was issued in two forms only:
Standard edition:
Hardbound in black cloth with blue endpapers, limited to 700 copies.
Deluxe edition:
Full midnight-blue morocco in slipcase, blind stamped with a cipher of the Wisdom of the Opposer, limited to 72 copies.
