Aperi Circulus Draco is a vital part of the Black Dragon’s initiatory process. Through the Black Dragon texts much time has been spent discussing and understanding the Proklosis Ring, the circle which is forever open. Aperi Circulus Draco contains essential meditative and procedural tenets that shall help the initiate to engage with the retinue of spirits for each point around the circle. As a familiar, the book acts as a companion for initiates who have begun to traverse the Proklosis Ring, as such the spirit of this text should be entreated as a familiar.

While Vestigia Ater Draconis across various versions was aligned to each totem of the sinistral horn, Aperi Circulus Draco intentionally binds initiates to the Proklosis Ring by heating each point by having them recite, imbibe and then contemplate this enchiridion. Embedding their flesh across cardinal and sub-cardinal points should eventually allow them to flense their impression of presence in such a way that they become absence and therefore open. Indeed, this is the point, to circumnavigate the Proklosis Ring, without and within the confines of what non-exists. As a result, Aperi Circulus Draco should be approached as both the liberator of form and the facilitator for their eventual initiation.

Presented in the style of an illuminated text, Aperi Circuclus Draco is a full colour printed text with magnificent artwork and artistic composition by Carolyn Hamilton-Giles. Undoubtedly, this is the most ambitious and collaborative book that AP has done so far in this series, and it is one that we are incredibly proud to offer.
