Book of the Black Dragon Volume 2 The Headless
By Peter Hamilton-Giles
Peter Hamilton-Giles is an academic scholar of anthropology and religious studies and has carried out research in Haiti and Nepal over the last twenty years. A primary focus has concerned the development and maintenance of relationships between the physical and metaphysical domains. The desire to understand the ‘unknown’ has inspired further study of phenomenology, historicity, and hermeneutics, which are used to interpret meta-narratives built within occult disciplines. Hamilton-Giles was the co-founder of the Draconian Column, an English magical sodality whose primary focus was sorcerous ophiolatry. The Afflicted Mirror is his first book for Three Hands Press, and his future works include The Baron Citadel: A Grimoire fo(u)r the Crossroads.

Galvanising form from negative existence allows the Codex to analyse and describe how the Proklosis Ring is to be used as an orientating device, even while the ritual precinct remains exposed. Accompanying this philosophical exposition of the Black Dragon, the Codex addresses, in some depth, a ritual procedure which involves the inscribing of each letter of I-Azi-Dahaka upon the earthen floor. The purpose of this rite is to draw in the extent of the Proklosis Ring without needing to contain. Each letter operates as a portal, together they portend the awakening of the sorcerous self. Additional layers of meaning are consequently added, thus exposing metaphysical associations to non-being that have up until now been hidden by the mantle of Otherness. Incorporating emanations from the Black Dragon, including the daemon emissaries and djinn from Volume 1, along with a retinue of familiar spirits not previously mentioned are thereby conveyed for the strict purpose of provisioning the sorcerer with a corpus of referential allegiances.
