Tubelo’s Forge: The Craft of Robert Cochrane (FORTHCOMING)

Robert Cochrane – a name synonymous with Traditional Craft – is perhaps one of its most controversial figures of the 20th century.

Crafting the Arte of Tradition

Tradition is about Folk Magick and community customs – it thrives as a Faith, both lived and applied in Craft, and realised in Arte. Crafting the Arte of Tradition bares its soul while explaining its engagement of the ‘Other’ found in Wind-walkers, Wights, Covenants and Kings, Ancestors and Fools, Old Gods, Law and Lore, custom and culture, Fate and Magick, Divination and prophecy, tools of Craft and of Trade, and finally, Mysteries and Mysticism.

IAO

IAO is an iconographic proposal, an attempt to illustrate the Gnostic worldview and its myths as understood by the Ophites, a sect of which little is known. It is, perhaps, an exercise of imagination, of what Christian iconography could have resembled if the Ophites had survived.
