ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
rightly assert credit for the contents of this book, the author would like to offer
his gratitude to the respective dedicatees for their invaluable contributions and inspiration. The
work of the Column of the Crooked Path was by its nature a collaborative effort, of which the
words upon these pages are but a part. Several texts herein were adapted from other, private
manuscripts, which remain concealed, both of my own authorship, and in collaboration with
fellow brethren.
Most especial honour and appreciation must be accorded to Soror P.A.,- a True Priestess,
unsurpassed in these Mysteries - for her wisdom, loyalty and exemplary devotion in practise;
all of which have been instrumental in the fruition of this present work.
Appreciation must likewise be shown to Frater A., for his good counsel and fraternity, and
for teaching that which he does not claim to know.
Heartfelt gratitude must be expressed to Gavin Semple, for both his courage and incompara-
ble insight. Acknowledgement must also be given for collaboration upon the ritual text of 'The
Stellar Transvocation', and for kind permission to utilise and adapt the texts of 'The Hypostasis'
and the consecration formulae of both the Arthana and Bone-trumpet.
Finally, a debt of honour is here paid to Peter Giles for his initial conception of the Draco-
nian Gnosis, and equal part in sowing the seeds of intent during the manifest inception of the
Column. Acknowledgement must also be given for collaboration on the early drafts of both
the Oracle Rite and the Ancestral Rite, as well as the designs for the stellar draconic path of the
Second Circle.
IN ORDER TO
For all that passed between us in the Viper's embrace, words cannot suffice.
For all that has yet to be ... a thousand dreams cannot foretell!
Further especial acknowledgement must be given to Robert Fitzgerald, for being the first to
incept this Work in America, and for his critical analysis of the text. Similarly, thanksgiving
to Daniel A. Schulke for continuing the Work of the Draconian Column, and for bearing this
Work unto the Eyes of the World. Lastly, among the Named, untold blessings upon Soror I:.
for love, life and liberty!
Auspicious Gratitude must also be offered to those True Companions of the Path - both liv-
ing and dead, who are far too numerous to name here and yet are held most preciously in mind.
For all that led to the utterance of 'The Oracle' and for all proceeding from it, may the bless-
ing be upon the Initiator.
To Those as yet unborn to the Path, the Scribe prostrates and here offers this work.
