Qayin Redivivus
Corpus Philosophorum Artis Daemonicae
Revised and enlarged edition
by Gilberto de Lascariz
A BOOK OF TRADITIONAL AND DAEMONIC WITCHCRAFT
This esoteric work of Traditional Witchcraft does not ask to be received.
It does not kneel, nor does it console.
Born of the Crooked Path of Toad and Serpent, it speaks from the place where Craft is ordeal, vision, and unceasing transgression.
Qayin Redivivus advances within the Daemonic Current, abandoning folkloric nostalgia and the ecclesial narcotic of modern witchcraft. It turns away from devotion and revival alike, moving instead toward a living gnosis forged through abjection—through dream, pact, and daemonic metamorphosis. Here, witchcraft is not preserved; it is undergone.
Its formula is the descent into hubris of dream beyond the dream:
The metadream where symbols are no longer metaphors but presences—breathing the Pneuma, assuming agency, demanding passage. In this place the witch does not imagine. He crosses.
The witch still flies with his Fetch.
The eyes remain open in the Night.
Dry clarity cuts through the narcotic veil of the mythic Sabbath.
Witchcraft is revealed neither as belief nor as identity, but as practice-as-fate: a discipline of vision born from the paralytic threshold of sleep, from the atavistic and diabolic formula of Initiation. Here the sorcerer is seized, carried, undone. Symbols are not explained—they are awakened. The Book itself becomes a working: talisman, threshold, and trial. It is a grave of the Fetch-Genius.
This is not a manual.
It is a summons.
For those who walk outside the circle.
For those who recognize no law but the Work.
For those who know that Tradition lives only where it risks dissolution.
Witchcraft here is transgression made operative, the numinous erupting through dream, danger, and becoming-other. The Book is not an object of study but an act of contagion—the body of the Daemonic Toad itself—working upon the reader, testing intent, opening forbidden ways.
This is not a manual.
It is a dream that watches you back.
For those who dare to cross what they are.
