Many are familiar with Wicca, founded by Gerald Gardner, but there was a counter-current, now known as Traditional Witchcraft, which saw the art from a very different angle. Its chief thinker was Robert Cochrane, who envisioned witchcraft as a gnostic quest for ultimate knowledge and union with the divine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Craft of Tubal Cain\u003c\/em\u003e explores Cochrane's most important ideas, especially the way in which he re-envisioned ancient mythology. He put a new spin on old deities as well as on folkloric figures like Robin Hood and King Arthur, and named Tubal Cain, whom the Bible calls the first blacksmith, as his avatar of knowledge both sacred and profane. Though he wrote very little and died young, Cochrane left enough material behind for us to reconstruct the steps by which he urged each aspiring witch to take a crooked path to complete gnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432857059564,"sku":"9781959883647","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781959883647.jpg?v=1774766268"},{"product_id":"flight-of-the-firebird-by-kenneth-johnson-9781959883074","title":"Flight of the Firebird","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFlight of the Firebird: Slavic Magical Wisdom \u0026amp; Lore\u003c\/i\u003e by Kenneth Johnson is an incredible guide into the folk magical traditions of the Slavic peoples.
