my love and yours engenders in the bed of dawn.
green fire licks all pride from the skull
soaks each trembling cell with heaven." Rumi

Foreword
"/\ 'dri\'ing thirst for knO\vledge' is the forerunner of wisdom.
Knowledge is a state that all organic life possesses; wisdom is the
rnvard of the spirit, gained in the search for knowledge."
Robert COc/Jrane
I t IS often 5aid that e\'cry picture tells a story, but the grandest narratives
are cxcited by the symbols envisaged by creative use of the written
language. The purpose of this book is to com'ey, in principle, the \V'ord.
And the \\'ord com'eys 'Re\·elation.' The onus is upon every wordsmith to
engineer such within the mind of the reader. To work thus from the heart
and with inspiration under the weight of age and expectation evokes the
spirit of elation. I3ut this elation, when yoked by tradition or convention
stri\'es relentlessly until it morphs consciousness into that happy liminality
where poetic insight resolves all dichotomies. Here, the Word becomes a
\'ision, a journey of transportation to the source of Truth. Hidden within
the text, patterns and formulae arouse the reader to new levels of perception
and disccrnment in alignment with the mystery of the Word.
A good teacher shies from informing you what to think, but nurtures
instead the ability to intuit that for yourself and where and how to apply
it. Clues are given, scattered among the text like treasure awaiting discO\·ery.
The more artful the teacher, the more varied and diverse the sources
exploited in this purpose. Robert Cochrane declared his belief in the value
of "poetic in/erence, I:), t!Jinkin,~ (//on,~ /ineJ t!Jat beloll,~ to tbe IJJorid 0/ dreal1lJ and
ill/{~~fJ . •, 1 n this long cherished tradition and in honour of two consummate
artisans [both past 11agisters of the Clan of Tubal Cain], the author
structures her purpose in total accord with their principles. Our mentor,
the late Evan John Jones was quite fond of reminding me to "keep it
simple." By this he meant that in order to understand and express the
111\'steries proper, we must first release all desire and pretention to do so
tor its own sake.
Olwious as this may be, it first becomes essential to deconstruct our
misconceptions or n'en pre-conceptions. This is achin'ed best by
immersion in complexity - this sen'es to distract the ego sufficiently for
that Zen moment to occur, allowing the re\'e!ation to percolate into a

marvellous act of reductionism, leading effortlessly thereafter into acts of
utter simplicity. Illumination strikes in release, we have to learn all to let it
go. \'Vithin the following pages, the text subtly weaves the premise by which
this may be achieved, prcsenting an cl11otin: and magical journey in the
truest sense of the \'Vord.
Robin-the-Dart,
Magister of the Clan of Tubal Cain
