Chumbley described as the “Sanctified Devil,” a being who is “forever becoming Magic” and one who is “content to stand…a dancing contradiction.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning with Nietzsche’s “Twilight of the Idols” and “The Antichrist,” “Crooked Confessions” describes Nietzsche’s method of doing philosophy with a “hammer” and then posits a new method of philosophizing with a “scythe.” This paves the way for laying down the foundations for an ontology of what Chumbley called “the Geminus.” I explore the notion of a “Sorcerous Sisyphus,” an ethics based on the thought of Georges Bataille, where the reader is invited to “transform the Crucified Christ into happy laughter”, put forward a metaphysics of Promethean Fire, show how the Sanctified Devil advances Nietzsche’s understanding of the Übermensch, and suggest another beginning for occult philosophy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Crooked Confessions” concludes with the “Psalterium Diabolus Sanctus,” which the reader can use as part of their occult praxis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Watkins Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57266702516598,"sku":null,"price":67.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/0635\/6656\/files\/IMG_4717.heic?v=1779714418","url":"https:\/\/shop.watkinsbooks.com\/products\/crooked-confessions-an-ophidian-philosophy-of-the-sanctified-devil-by-ian-c-edwards","provider":"Watkins Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
