Wotan - I began reading into mythology some years ago and discovered the tale behind Odin and his trials hanging from the world-tree Yggdrassil in his search for occult knowledge. I was always fascinated by what apeared to be a wealth of secret history and belief which was hinted at and 'talked around' by organised religion. Where had those massive edifices come from and who left the beautiful chalk drawings on the hills? Why were the days of the week named after Norse gods and goddesses, when Christianity seemed to stem from the Middle East? Even as a child, seeing the tiny black and white image of the White Horse at Uffington in the I-Spy Guide to Archaeology, I felt inspired and curious as to what or who had come before and endeavoured to find out.
Over time i have looked into occultism, magic, mythology, history, palaeontology and etymology, springing off down new paths as new clues emerged in passages of poetry or tracts of text, or journeys or holidays revealed further obscure delights hidden in woods or among hills that nobody could (or would) explain to me fully. Eventually, I reached a dead end in my forages and without the time or resources to study fully, I foundered. Then, quite by accident, I discovered the MA and its website. Within days i was hooked and utterly absorbed into the tribal gathering of like minded souls through the electronic portal, and many gaps in my knowledge were bridged.
I look forward to the time when i can explore the field fully and completely and fill a study with notes, paintings and books.
