Robert Cochrane

Robert Cochrane, born Roy Bowers, was an English occultist who founded the tradition of Witchcraft known as The Clan of Tubal Cain. He became interested in witchcraft after attending a Society for Psychical Research lecture, and though he claimed descent from a hereditary family of witches whose practices stretched back centuries, a claim later dismissed by scholars, he remains a key inspirational figure in the traditional witchcraft movement and a number of Neopagan and magical groups continue to adhere to his teachings since his death by suicide in 1966.
