The Stang as Ancient World Tree

Last updated on: March 7, 2018 at 9:57 pm By Ian Chambers

In spite of all the evidence to the contrary, the witches’ staff, or ‘stang’ as we name it, is not phallic, but has the same position as the Tree of Life in your system. (Cochrane and Jones, 2002)⁠ In his 1960s letter to the Qabalist Bill Gray, the pioneering witch magister Robert Cochrane makes the bold assertion that one of his most enduring symbols is not, as many might suspect, representative of the male reproductive organ, but is in fact...

Modern Traditional Witchcraft – a Mystery

Last updated on: March 8, 2018 at 12:01 am By Ian Chambers

A witch today is an unlicensed practitioner of the mysteries of witchcraft since there is no longer an unbroken tradition of discipline. (Cochrane and Jones, 2002) Modern Traditional Witchcraft has emerged in the past decade as a leading paradigm within the occult and NeoPagan community. It is seemingly a rather rustic reconstructionist model which harkens to a lost era of witchcraft, determined perhaps by a fanciful rendition of the past that, while qualifying itself as ‘red in tooth and claw’,...

Keep pure your highest ideal…

Last updated on: April 13, 2018 at 6:53 pm By Ian Chambers

Being a reflection upon the condition wherein modern witchcraft remains plagued by the limits of vision in some quarters… Why must we seek to restrict and bind ourself by definition, beneath such auspices delineated by the immutable truth of mere opinion, thus restrained by bias, the unmoving principle of self-proclaimed rightness utterly unassuaged by the proclamation of a preparedness to discourse which so thinly veils the finality of our mind.“We are the Witchcraft,” announced young ‘handsome Jack’ Parsons, “and although...

Cursing a curse: Taking advantage of a double negative

Last updated on: March 7, 2018 at 10:30 pm By Ian Chambers

“The witch that cannot curse cannot bless” This is an oft repeated axiom within both Wiccan, Pagan and Witchcraft circles. But what if we have over complicated the matter due to sensibilities and cautious sensitivities which have sought out a truism as if justifying a curse to our peers? If you identify as a witch or Wiccan, let me ask you a question: When was the last time you cast a blessing? And I don’t mean when fashioning the circle,... Read more

Love’s Allure

Beloved born of climactic sea, Tumultuous turning tempest Twisting timeless Aphrodite; Eros’ wings spread in golden light, Forming shapelessness, shifting consciousness, Returning soulful To endless time; Across weaving wave, Thund’rous thrashing Beating wind weathered bough, Heart’s sail soars, Compass true, directing seamless, Love’s arrow tipped toward, Threaded together in Time, Unending united, Fate decreed, Destiny’s wing caught on Wondrous wind, Weaving calm shores, Serene sea settled in Love’s lustrous allure Read more

The Ced Tarot…

Last updated on: March 7, 2018 at 10:36 pm By Ian Chambers

On Sunday 2nd October 2016, the coloured Ced Tarot deck, inspired and brought to fruition over the last ten years via the Ced Tradition of witchcraft, had its launch in London, U.K.. Due to publishing circumstances, therefore, the deck has been released in full colour in Blighty before its debut in the United States. In this respect, several people have asked where a deck can be purchased. In this, I am informed that Atlantis Bookshop will be carrying the deck... Read more

Where two streams met…

Last updated on: March 7, 2018 at 10:45 pm By Ian Chambers

Review On Friday 30th September, 2016, the Atlantis Bookshop played host to an historic occasion when two traditions of witchcraft met in an upstairs London pub to discuss differences and similarities*. With a superb turnout for the event, including some known and respected faces in Traditional Witchcraft and the occult scene, the room very gradually filled with a nice group of people gathered to partake of this unique opportunity. During the evening, we were fortunate enough to enjoy hearing the experiences and philosophies... Read more
