Inheriting a deep interest in history, legends, and mythology, this author rediscovered a passion for "land magic," folk tales, and elemental stories later in life. Driven by a felt need to preserve ancient heritage against the ravages of modern industrial and consumerist culture, they began experimenting with blending ancient folk tales with their own creations. The author volunteers as a guide for various organizations and lectures to local groups on these themes, bringing a unique perspective to preserved traditions.
