A good anthology for Traditional Craft June 9, 2008
For those interested in 1734/Tubal Cain/ Robert Cochrane, and some of the traditional craft, this is a good anthology. The ideas are deeper than most of what you find printed in the Neo-pagan genre, although the text could have used better editing. It is refreshing to read a text that discusses one of our elders frankly in a respectful manner, but without hero worship. The ideas and practices in this book have merit on their own accord, regardless of the personalities who transmit them. I wish more occult books let the philosophy and praxis stand on its own and stopped tying it to the authority of the transmitter. There is no religion higher than Truth.
One of my most loved... May 5, 2005

Beautiful glimpse into the world of the Traditional Witch! If you are "starved" for some "real food" and tired of a "cotton candy" diet of so-called witchcraft books, you may enjoy this! It is not a "how to" book, but more like reading the private diary of a Traditional Witch, as well as being filled with much wisdom. While no books can take the place of experiencing the Old Ones personally, this book does a nice little job of introducing one to the world of the Witch.
I have a great fondness for it and think every Witch who follows the Ways of Old should have a copy to call their own!
If only there were more like these...

Really wonderful collection of essays on elements of major importance to Traditional Witchcraft. Although a smaller volume, this seems much more in-depth to me insofar as esoteric elements of the craft than Evan Jones's "Witchcraft: A Tradition Renewed" (which is also well worth finding, especially for practical ritual). Together with "The Robert Cochrane Letters" (some of which is a bit obscure to wade through), and much of the material coming out of Capall Bann Publishing, this will hopefully foment a renaissance in modern Witchcraft.
Worth every penny - why aren't there more books like this! September 13, 2004

Anyone like me who has admiration for the ideas of Cochrane will appreciate this volume. I would buy this in tandem with the Robert Cochrane Letters (also published by Capall Bann), because the two together greatly expound many of his ideas.
When you read a book like this it really puts things into perspective regarding the quality of many works on witchcraft. Both Cochrane and Evan John Jones writings are inspired and of great interest to those looking for something a bit more meatier than the standard "cast the circle by visualising a blue light" material that makes up the bulk of most books on the market. The great tragedy, aside from Cochranes death, is that there is not more material of this ilk in print, but then one needs only look around at the market for books on this subject to find the reason why!
