History
Three Hands Press: Scribes in Service of the Mysteries
Three Hands Press, a sister publishing house of Xoanon Publishing, was first conceived in the Summer of 2003 as a joint venture between Andrew Chumbley, Daniel Schulke, and an anonymous third party. Its name refers in part to the threefold actuating force of author, publisher, and the animating spirit of a book.
Dually-born of vision and epiphany, Three Hands arose in consideration of the body of essays, academic works, and other writings beyond the intent and scope of Xoanon, but common to its corpus of authors. Thus the need was recognised for a textual vessel serving the varied concerns of these separate works, with the additional benefit of the Xoanon publishing ethos. In part, it is due to the loyalty and good faith of long-time Xoanon subscribers that our endeavour now takes flight.
The primary foci of our books are magic, divination, folklore, folk-religion, magical history, and mysticism, often written from the twofold perspective of scholar and practitioner. As with Xoanon, Three Hands Press maintains its ongoing commitment to textual integrity, artful design, quality craftsmanship, and the ingenium of fascination which gives rise to the Book of Power.
