First published in late Summer 2012, Schulke’s book on esoteric toxicologyย Veneficiumย was an instant success, selling out in six months.ย Its principal concern is the intersection of magic and poison, originating in remotest antiquity and reaching into the occult traditions of present day. Beyond their functions as agents of bodily harm, poisons have also served as gateways of religious ecstasy, occult knowledge, and sensorial aberration, as well as the basis of cures. Allied with Samael, the Edenic serpent of first transgression whose name in some interpretations is โVenom of Godโ, this facet of magic wends through the rites of ancient Sumer and Egypt, through European Necromancy, Alchemy, the arcane the rites of the Witchesโ Sabbath, and modern-day folk magic.
The second edition ofย Veneficiumย is now properly contextualized within a trilogy of forthcoming books entitledย Triangulum Lamiarumย (โTriangle of the Witchesโ), each of which concerns a specific ontological aspect of witchcraft.ย Veneficium, of course, treats the occult parameters of poison, toxins, and venom, and their presence in witchcraft and allied magical arts.
Newly released, the second edition ofย Veneficiumย contains the first edition in its entirety, but there are some notable expansions and evolutions:
โa new typographic design for the entire book, to be used for the whole of the trilogy
โslight expansions of certain chapters
โone additional chapter
โadditional images
โa new title page illustration by artistย Benjamin A. Vierling, as well as two new ornaments by the same
โcorrection of typographic errors from the first edition, as well as footnote enumerations
โยญan index
โan acknowledgments section.
The second edition also expands the published formats. In addition to the hardcoverย Veneficiumย will also be published in softcover. Finally, for each title in theย Triangulumย series there will be a limited number of deluxe quarter-bound leather issues. For Deluxe editions, please visit Three Hands Press.
