Martin Wall

    Inheriting a deep interest in history, legends, and mythology from a young age, the author developed a passion for "land magic," folk tales, and elemental stories. This fascination with ancient inheritance resurfaced later in life, leading to experiments in blending old folk tales with original creations. Driven by a felt need to preserve this ancient legacy against the tide of modern industrial and consumerist culture, the author seeks to keep these traditions alive. Through volunteer guiding and lecturing, they actively share their profound knowledge and enthusiasm for these timeless subjects.
