The Psalter of Cain ~ Psalterium Caini

Description

The Psalter of Cain consists of a series of devotional magical works to Cain, holy ancestor of sorcerers. Historically the figure of Biblical Cain is known from the context of Italian witchcraft and Romany magic, as well as esoteric orders of Freemasonry and the Society of the Horseman’s Word. From British witchcraft-lineages of the Cultus Sabbati, Cain has come to modern occult prominence as the especial patron of the Witch’s Art. The embodiment of Exile and Opposition explicit within the Elder Craft.

In its rarefied embodiment of Crooked Path Sorcery. The ever deviating path of Bane and Blessing, the power of Cain arises from his mythic forms of Transgressor-against-God. First Murderer, Wandering Exile, and First Tamer of the Horse, among others. These Cainite arcana received their highest ritual and literary expression in Andrew D. Chumbley’s Dragon-Book of Essex.

This is s a work of devotional rite, charm, and incantation. The book manifests the transcendant Sabbatic vision of Cainite Gnosis. The radiance which illumines the Nocturnal Eden, the light of vision-anointed eyes.
