The artwork is finished, and everything is with the CD manufacturers. The music and art are ready to submit to streaming services; the downloads are all ready on my Bandcamp store. So pre-orders of the Fourth Branch album will open on 6th April, and the album will launch on the 24th.

CD and Music Release Update Hello, my friends! I'd like to let you know about some changes in how my music will be available to you. About half of my CD sales are sent to you lovely people in the USA, but sadly, with Trump's fluid approach to trade and tarrifs (I'm trying to be kind in my wording here...) it became very obvious to me that I could no longer trust that I'd be able to send any of the approaching 4th Branch albums to the USA with any confidence that they would reach their destination.

Thinking About – The Old English Language If you've read my previous article here, you will know that for some years now I've been drawn to explore the Gods, Goddesses, and Spirits of my early English ancestors. It has been an incredibly powerful journey so far, with so many jaw-dropping aha moments I can barely keep up. I've obviously been reading historical books, listening to podcasts and watching experts on YouTube, and I've also been doing a course in Old English.

Hail the New Pendragon of the OBOD On June 10th 2010, at the OBOD Summer Gathering in Glastonbury Town Hall, I was initiated as the new Pendragon of the Order, stepping into the role passed to me by the previous Pendragon, the artist Will Worthington. The Pendragon before Will, during Ross Nichol's time as Chosen Chief of the Order, had been Vera Chapman, who was a writer and founded the Tolkien Society.

Connecting with Old Gods: A Personal Reflection Me and Cerri were in the back of Kristoffer Hughes' car. It was September 2020 and there was a break in the Pandemic Lockdown so we'd taken the opportunity to get away for a weekend to Wales to see our friends. We were driving through the North Wales countryside and Kristoffer was telling us the names of the mountains, lakes and regions we were driving through.

Y Mabinogi – The 4th Branch Recording is Complete The blog and my Patreon have been a little quiet over the past few weeks as I've put the finishing touches on the 4th Branch album. It brings together nearly two years of work, plus this album is also the culmination of a journey to bring the Four Branches of the Mabinogi to audio with spoken word, poetry, and song - these tales were always meant to be heard, not read - that began nearly ten years ago.

Green Grimiore – A Magical Trip to Wales Hi All, this is our first video in quite a while. We took a pilgrimage to Wales and Anglesey to see some good friends and clear our heads, back in March. It was wonderful, spiritually nourishing, fun and much needed. We spent quality time with Kristoffer Hughes and Ian Gibb, visiting some of our favourite sacred places. On the way home we also got to see a couple more dear friends too.

Tales from the Road – Pagan Spirit Gathering 2025 My last visit to the USA was Paganicon in 2019, and before that was the Pagan Spirit Gathering (PSG) in 2017. I intended to play a gig somewhere in the USA about every two years, but then the Pandemic hit, and that idea went flying out the window. Eight years after my last visit to PSG, I got the chance to return, and it was wonderful to be with everyone again.
