A look into the circumstances of Robert Cochrane's death, the accepted version of such being that he killed himself in a ritual suicide using Belladonna at Midsummer 1966, re-enacting the death of the Divine King, a willing sacrifice to remit his own errors and those of his people, and to secure the fertility of his dominion. Semple discusses this particular version and adds some insight into what might have really taken place. A very interesting little volume.
