“Forever becoming Magic; content to stand a dancing contradiction.”

This groundbreaking book argues for a rebellious, transformative philosophy, based on becoming the “Sanctified Devil,” an archetypal figure who transgresses and transcends ideas of good and evil through personal transformation and magical practice.

The Scythe

A new way to philosophize beyond Nietzsche’s hammer, into the Crooked Path

Ophidian Ontology

A worldview where reality is dynamic and shaped by magical or transformative action

Sorcerous Sisyphus

The Myth of Sisyphus is reinterpreted as a symbol of endless self-creation

Promethean Fire

A full metaphysics of transgression, theft, and sacred defiance

Ethics of the Sanctified Devil

Georges Bataille’s ecstatic thought reimagined for the practicing occultist

Living Praxis

Concludes with the Psalterium Diabolus Sanctus, usable for ritual practice
