This series (two separate volumes published so far) presents short exegetical works on magic by the British occult author Andrew D. Chumbley (1967-2004) including his magical essays, homilies, and other obscure works which originally appeared in small-circulation occult journals now out of print. Volume Two contains ten essays written between 1992 and 2000, including one previously unpublished. Expanding upon themes developed in Opuscula Volume I, the book also treats of Crooked Path Sorcery, a transcendental ethos of traditional witchcraft having parallels in such traditions as Petro Voudon. Also new in this volume is an Author's Preface, as well as Robert Fitzgerald's rare 1996 interview with Chumbley in Esoterra. The 1999 article 'Gnosis For the Flesh Eternal' appears here for the first time, being a much-expanded version of 'Wisdom For the New Flesh' which first appeared in Starfire. Also included in this second volume are nine Azoëtia-era illustrations which have never before seen print.
