Origin from 1991

The Cultus Sabbati is a traditional witchcraft order established in the early 1990s by the English magician and writer Andrew D. Chumbley (1967 to 2004), who served as its Magister. Chumbley termed the tradition it practices Sabbatic Craft, a synthesis of traditional witch-lore and Sabbath mythology with Eastern mysticism and Western ceremonial magic, deliberately distinct from Wicca, and documented its working system of correspondences and rites in his own grimoire, the Azoetia, written when he was twenty-four. The order remains active and continues to publish material through its associated Three Hands Press imprint.
