Liber Eximo Carnem by Peter Hamilton-Giles
Description
The sixth volume in the Black Dragon series, by Peter Hamilton-Giles.
Here, the emphasis is placed on ingress, congress, and egress, with each totem playing its part in bringing, burying, and transcending the liberated form from the initiatory chamber. The work primarily considers two of the three totems, or at least this is how it is being envisaged now. The primary focus is on crossing the threshold and the candidate being led blindfolded and bound to the chamber of his/her unmaking. Much of what is being written here relies on the vignette of becoming undone and therefore unmade.
It is also important to note this edition coalesces the retinue of entities previously cited across the series so far. It thereby refreshes the sorcerer’s relationship to them and makes them tangibly referential for the work ahead. As an aside, by incorporating these the sorcerer reheats points across a spectrum of actualities and brings to bear a vast wealth of knowledge which has already been shared across the pages of the entire work.

Tubelo’s Forge by Shani Oates
£71.99
Limited hardback edition
Archival transcript material provides the foundation of Cochrane’s early works constructed as a gramarye supplemented with insights and intimate knowledge of the Clan from within its discreet conclave. Driven by an insatiable thirst for Wisdom, Cochrane’s ruthless pursuit of Truth led him to explore all aspects of the Craft. This book reveals those early forays and formative experiences that molded Cochrane’s articulation of the Craft and his vision for the Clan he founded to demonstrate it as a lived tradition.
Tubelo’s Forge is an accessible work of immense value to those interested in Cochrane’s approach to the Craft, whether as a newcomer to his work, or a seasoned follower of his art. Capturing a significant moment of history, this unique body of work offers, for the first time, a working model as a platform for understanding the origins of the Clan of Tubal Cain, but most importantly, its evolution since, both in his time, and in continuance, through the legacy of the Clan in accordance with the tenets he prescribed for it.
Following the popular format of Tubelo’s Green Fire by Shani Oates, and Witchcraft: A Tradition Renewed by Evan John Jones and Doreen Valiente, Tubelo’s Forge incorporates information relating to the Cosmology, Mythos and Ethos of the Clan, with writings that explore the working Compass, the Working Tools, Induction, Transmission, Tutelary Spirits, the Egregore, The Old Covenant, the Winds, Castles of the Mind and Compass, and Cochrane’s views on the use of Entheogens.
As a practical guide, Cochrane’s desire to combine all aspects mythical and mystical shine through these early works and Seasonal Rites that continue to inspire and intrigue. Though focussed heavily upon the practical elements of a working tradition, Tubelo’s Forge is substantially supplemented with Cochrane’s cerebral philosophy, being inexorably entwined, it could not be otherwise. Original sketches gathered from works relating to this period are sensitively recreated while other artworks offer inspired glimpses into his visionary world; words and images combine in this incredible tome to share a novel perspective on the Clan’s sacred mysteries.
