The Azoëtia of Andrew D. Chumbley has been described as a modern grimoire.

Gavin Semple hailed The Azoëtia as " a very different type of book ; a genuine Grimoire, likely the only one to be published in modern times ; [...] The Azoëtia is a work of breathtaking power and passion, in whose pages magic is restored to its position as the Sacred Art, the Sabbatic Craft is revealed as a living and very vital tradition.

A tenth anniversary edition, revised to include further textual and illustrative material was issued by Xoanon Publishing on October 31, 2002 as Azoëtia ( Sethos Edition ).

The Azoëtia and Chumbley's subsequent writings demonstrate his familiarity with a broad range of Western esoteric doctrines including Qabalah, Enochian Magic, the magic of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Thelemic school of Aleister Crowley.

" Schulke observed that " Chumbley's grimoire Azoëtia, though wholly a reification of traditional British witchcraft, makes use of Sumerian, Egyptian, Yezidi, Arabic, and Aztec iconography, among others.

Chumbley's first book The Azoëtia was published privately by the author in 1992 as a softcover volume under the Xoanon imprint.

Chumbley was familiar with and respected Grant's work and was a member of Grant's Ordo Templi Orientis from 1993 – 1999, operating an affiliated magical lodge.

Their subject was the doctrine and practice of a tradition of sorcery which he called ' Sabbatic Craft ', a term which, according to Chumbley, " describes the way in which elements of witch-lore, Sabbath mythology and imagery were being employed in the cunning-craft tradition into which I was originally inducted ".

" In conjunction with dreaming and trance experience Chumbley used automatic writing and drawing to manifest the knowledge drawn from ritual magic ; these procedures, in which the magician offers her or himself as a vehicle for the forces summoned instead of utilising another as medium, is uncommon in the Western occult tradition-one modern exemplar being Austin Osman Spare.

Other works by Chumbley are known to exist, but have not been issued ; they were either unpublished at his death, or had been produced solely for private distribution.

Chumbley considered the practice of willed dreaming essential as a means of interacting directly and consciously with the spiritual dimensions he called ' the High Sabbat '; according to him " Every word, deed and thought can empower, magnetise, and establish points of receptivity for a magical dream, likewise any of these means can do the opposite-fixating perception in a manner that is not receptive-that seals the soul in the body instead of enabling it to go forth at will.

Regarding his sources, drawn from both literature and direct contact with practitioners of other occult and religious traditions, Chumbley stated: " In all contexts one may find pieces of magical lore and belief from many disparate times and places, but all are brought to function within the trans-historical arena of the sacred dimension, whether it be the magical circle of Witcherie or the Ninefold Plot of Sigaldry.

Numerous articles by Chumbley followed, published in British and American occult journals, but no further books appeared until ONE: The Grimoire of the Golden Toad in 2000, described by Xoanon as: "... the first full grimoire-text to treat specifically and from personal account of the Traditional East Anglian ritual called ' The Waters of the Moon ': the solitary initiation of the so-called ' Toad-witch '.

Chumbley addressed these themes, citing Shah's work, in his book Qutub: The Point ( 1995 ).

Chumbley believed that the natural manifestation of magical gnosis and power occurs through creative activity: " Dreaming and the mutual translation of dreamt ritual and ritual-as-dreamt form the basic rationale and context for our work.

The Magistar of the Cultus Sabbati, Andrew Chumbley, stated that they were simply " theoretical constructs " that were " without definitive objectivity ", and that nonetheless, both forms could be employed by the magician-he used the analogy of a person having two hands, a right and a left, both of which served the same master.

One Chumbley left behind to aid the time travellers helps them get back to the TARDIS.

Andrew D. Chumbley ( September 15, 1967 – September 15, 2004 ) was an English practitioner and theorist of magic, and a writer, poet and artist.

Chumbley published several limited edition books through his private press Xoanon Publishing, and had many articles printed in occult magazines.

At the time of his death Chumbley was working on his doctorate in the history of religion.

In an obituary his close friend Michael Howard, a well-known occult writer and publisher of The Cauldron, described Chumbley as " a man of the land, rural in both birth and character.

" Howard recalled Chumbley ’ s kindness, generosity and sense of humour: " To outsiders Andrew could sometimes appear to be aloof, intense and serious to the point of obsession … However, if he met kindred spirits of sincerity and honour, who shared his interests and serious intent, he would willingly go out of his way to offer them help and guidance on the Path … In fact he was a natural teacher and, like all good occult teachers, acted as a catalyst in the lives of his students.

Although Chumbley was mainly known for his involvement with English traditional Witchcraft, primarily that of East Anglia, his occult interests and influences were extremely diverse.

Qutub: The Point followed in 1995, published for Xoanon by Fulgur Limited, in which Chumbley combined illustrations and poetry with the intent of creating a telesmatic volume.
