I have spent several years working on a book about the Hermetic Kabbalah. I am very pleased to say it is now available through Amazon in the USA and in the EU. It is a large book of 464 pages and over 60 illustrations, and not only covers many aspects…
I haven’t updated the site for some time because I have been working hard on completing the book I have been working on for the past eight years. I now have my proof copies (see picture), I’ve read through the proof, and it is nearly good-to-go. The blurb currently…

Seriousness is two-edged. On one hand we want promises to be kept, deadlines adhered to, guarantees to be meaningful, and aeroplanes to be flown safely. On the other hand seriousness locks us in to situations. When I tell someone a paper will be ready on Monday it is my seriousness…
When not working in the garden, travelling, and doing other summery things, I have been working intensively to produce a first draft of my book on Hermetic Kabbalah. This was done a couple of months ago and the draft has gone out to some friends for comment. It will be…
