As the title says, I am seeking information on this. I'm curious if anybody here has any experience with Chumbley's system? What do you think of the book, and what kind of experiences have you had that you feel comfortable sharing?
I don't imagine that I'm going to get a ton of information, and to that point, I'm going to be reading it soon. If anyone else would like to do a read-along, I would be happy to do a book club-type thing.

I know at least one of his influences is Austin Osman Spare, and I believe that plus knowledge of tradcraft are useful for working azoetia

Honestly, if you have to ask then I don't think you're ready. Chumbley tends to incorporate blinds in his works which further adds to the confusion.

I don't have the experience myself to comment on his works as they're quite advanced (And dangerous too.) It is rumored that the DBoE is what got him killed early in life, but who knows.
Here's a reading list of prerequisites that might assist you. https://www.reddit.com/r/occult/comments/15jywqv/_/jv4miok

What does DBoE mean? Forgive me I'm new here, I did a search and nothing came up.

I would be happy to read and share my thoughts book club style, if I'm not to late.

Dragon Book of Essex

Azoetia, and really Chumbley's entire body of work, doesn't seem to lend itself to a book club. I would start with opuscula magica.

Oh ok thank you for clarifying. Once I Finish SHE of the night I will most definitely check it out. It's all cultus sabbati materia correct?

You should do the forum a service and scan those babies...

Happy to discuss Chumbley's work with you, though. I'm being called to self-initiate. Happy to discuss details over messages,
