The Craft of Tubal Cain is a new, groundbreaking work by researcher, scholar, and magical enthusiast Kenneth Johnson. During the chaotic but colorful 1960s, witchcraft was reborn as a modern mystical practice. Many are familiar with Wicca, founded by Gerald Gardner, but a different current, now known as Traditional Witchcraft, saw the art from another angle. Its chief thinker was Robert Cochrane, who envisioned witchcraft as a gnostic quest for ultimate knowledge and union with the divine. This volume explores his most important ideas and his re-envisioning of ancient mythology, putting a new spin on old deities as well as on folkloric figures like Robin Hood and King Arthur and naming Tubal Cain, whom the Bible calls the first blacksmith, as his avatar of knowledge, both sacred and profane. Though he wrote little and died young, Cochrane left enough material behind for us to reconstruct the steps he urged each aspiring witch to take on the crooked path to complete gnosis. With consultation and a foreword from the current Maid of the Clan of Tubal Cain Shani Oates, Kenneth Johnson connects these threads for the first time in the public eye.
