Witchcraft: A Tradition Renewed is fast becoming a much sought after, and therefore expensive, source book for workings and understandings in the vein of the Clan of Tubal Cain. An excellent primer for the reconstruction of a tradition in the style of Robert Cochrane's cuveen written by his successor together with an initiate, Doreen Valiente, who is now regarded by many as the mother of modern witchcraft!
A fascinating look into masked rites utilising the author's experience in this shamanic work. Of particular interest is the perspective of a Magister of the Clan of Tubal Cain and his experience. A true master, Evan John Jones presents a book perhaps less restricted in its contents that his first book, Witchcraft: A Tradition Renewed.
The Robert Cochrane Letters is a fascinating insight into the correspondences of traditional witch Magister Robert Cochrane inthe nineteen-sixties and, therefore, some of his beliefs and practices.
This book features the articles written and published by Robert Cochrane and Evan John Jones and provides a true glimpse into the Clan of Tubal Cain and the traditional witchcraft practiced by these two seasoned Masters of the Arte.
Together with the previous two titles, this volumous tome provides a rich source book for a Cochrane style tradition and was a favourite amongst Cochrane, Ronald "Chalky" White, Joseph Wilson and even Gerald B. Gardner. A lot can be gained from reading this in conjunction with Cochrane's & Jones' own works.
William Gray was a friend and associate of Cochrane's and clearly worked with him to some degree. The influence of their correspondence can be seen within this work of Gray's, which contributes to the lore remaining in the public domain with regards to the Cochrane tradition. The Rollright Stones were a much visited haunt of occultists and witches in the nineteen-sixties and the myth surrounding the megalithic stones on the Warwickshire/Oxfordshire border (within a stone's throw of Long Compton) provides the backdrop of this work.
Western Inner Workings is the first in Gray's Sangreal Sodality series. A friend of both Cochrane and Jones, Gray dedicates an entire chapter in this book to 'Pagan Principles' in which he references a craft coven that is generally regarded as Cochrane's, quoting him directly from their correspondence.
The Gnostic Bible is a huge collection of Gnostic texts containing mystical wisdom from the ancient and medieval worlds, including those from heretical Christian, Mandaean, Manichaean, Islamic and Cathar traditions.
