One: The Grimoire of the Golden Toad
By Andrew D. Chumbley
Second Edition
2025
A seminal text of the Sabbatic Tradition, ONE: The Grimoire of the Golden Toad is the working magical record of the author’s 1999 undertaking of the ritual known as ‘The Waters of the Moon’, the East Anglian Toad-Bone rite which was said to convey power over horses. It explores the arcanum of the English Toad-Man, sometimes called ‘toad-witch’ a magical archetype whose roots lie in antiquity and whose magic was known to the Græco-Romans.
The rite served as a personal harrowing for Chumbley, and an evolutionary catalyst for the Cultus Sabbati. Using both expository and poetic language, the grimoire details the mysteries of the Toad-Bone rite, and its linkage to the Sabbatic Current, particularly its motto of Unum Adversus Omnia. Additional arcana of the work include the introduction of Sabatraxas, the Daimon or patron spirit of the Toad.
