Publications Archive
Since the inception of Atramentous Press in 2017 we have strived to provide critical works to the occult community that cross the boundaries of the practitioner and the academic. We have introduced both philosophical analysis and grimoiric revelations, historical insights and artistic illumination. We have worked very hard to ensure our design ethos also reflects our attitudes to the work, accepting no compromises in either design or material. Over the years the costs of materials have increased significantly but we have always ensured that we aim for quality over quantity which we feel has stood the test of commitment. Whilst the cost of books has gone up our customers have remained, knowing that what they have purchased is a product of uncompromised quality. What we offer here is an archive of all our publications showing the various design choices made and the original price at which the book was sold as we are very aware that the second hand market can be unrelenting and knowing a books original price can help those who missed out make a better informed decision. Of course in all instances we highly recommend being a subscriber to our emails so as to have the oppertunity to purchase your books at their original prices.

Plucked from an earthen grave each deluxe comes with the rib from a venomous snake this is to be offered to the Black Dragon. It has two particular applications in that it can either be used at each point across the dragon's form or placed in the Ossuary of the Temporal Flux, being the Vessel of the Dragon's Head. It is thereby a key and a lock for opening the way.

Special Standard Edition - Midnight blue buckram cover with gold foiling to front, spine and rear of cover.

It’s inclusion in the Ritual Space book is due to it encapsulating the principle of the crooked path in how it has been appropriated and partially reassigned by applying retentive modifications of a crooked nature.
