Articles on folklore, comparative religion
and life close to nature
I write articles on various topics including comparative religion and folklore studies, history, kitchen gardening, philosophy and the arts.
With a background in history I have long had a keen interest in national epics and mythological texts as well as pursuits in arts and crafts relating to these traditions and themes, I aim to provide food for thought, highlight some overlooked theories, present some of my own and focus on the relevance of a life in harmony with nature and closer to ancient spirituality in the modern world.
