Articles on folklore, comparative religion
and life close to nature
I write articles on various topics including comparative religion and folklore studies, history, philosophy and the arts.
With a background in history I have long had a keen interest in national epics and mythological texts. My pursuits in arts and crafts are rooted in these traditions and themes. I aim to provide food for thought and a fresh perspective on myths. My writing focuses on the relevance of a life in harmony with nature and close to ancient spirituality.
The Eternal Return:
Writings on European religion, folk traditions and myths
Taking its name from the term coined by the ground-breaking comparative religion scholar Mircea Eliade, to explain the timeless, cyclical and eternal nature of ritual, the creation myth and sacred space, the Eternal Return is a journal and blog focused on polytheism, oral tradition, philosophy and comparative religion. Work published in this series may be reworked in book form at a later time.
