The Devil's Crown: Key to the mysteries of Robert Cochrane's Craft, Hardcover

"The Devil's Crown is the accolade of genius, awarded to poets, and leaders of men who would speak in riddles and puns the wisdom of ages. Whether Scop or Skald, the words inspired by the Muse live on in vibrant tradition under the shining aureole of the Holy Fool. It is the arcane mark of the 'other.' This book illuminates some of that light, sharing insights to the precious mysteries of the Robert Cochrane Tradition. His letters and works now collated finally into a single volume - The Star Crossed Serpent III: The Taper that Lights the Way, find further expression in this companion volume.' (Shani Oates)

"If I call upon my ancestors, I call upon forces that are within myself and exterior ... now you know what I mean when I speak of the burden of Time." (Robert Cochrane)

"The tree carried by a man wearing a red cap is a symbol of many things coalescing into two parts of the True and only Faith." (Robert Cochrane)

"The first part is the masculine mysteries - in which is enshrined the search for the Holy Graal - and is the basis of the Arthurian legends. This is the order of the Sun - the Clan of Tubal Cain ... In the distant past, the male clan was lead by a woman who was their priestess and chieftain.

This is the origin of the legend of Robin Hood ... and the tradition was followed through into the middle Ages when the Plantagenet Kings were officers of the masculine aspect of the Faith (The name 'Plantagenet' means 'The Devil's Clan'). The effect of the masculine mysteries upon the world can hardly be under emphasized ... Law-making ... and craftsmen's guilds ... The masculine mysteries were the direct creators of modern civilization as we know it now." (Robert Cochrane)
