The Regency and the ‘Cochrane Coven’
The latest issue of The Cauldron is now out. It contains the second of John of Monmouth’s two important articles on the Regency: ‘The Regency: Seasonal Meditations & Rites’. The Cauldron website has information on how to obtain a copy.
I am delighted that John has given us permission to reproduce his first article The Regency & the Cochrane Coven on this website.
In several places John cites Robert Cochrane’s article ‘The Craft Today’, published in Pentagram in 1964. I have to hand as I type Chalky’s own copy of this issue of Pentagram, which was found among his papers on ritual and the Regency. The Cochrane article is marked with old snuff stains: a detail that brings back Chalky’s presence vividly.
The text of ‘The Craft Today’ may be read on the 1734 Witchcraft site.
