Why subscribe?
There is a free version and a paid version of this publication. Please note my writings in the free version are more infrequent.
All my pieces have an audio recording for those of you who prefer to listen, podcast-esque.
FREE SUBSCRIPTION
Every first Sunday of the month, you will receive a monthly newsletter with reflections on myth, the imagination or ancient history, some occasional personal musings, and a poetry offering. In that newsletter, you will also be the first to hear about any of my upcoming events, courses and lectures.
PAID SUBSCRIPTION
As well as the monthly newsletter to begin each month, as a paid subscriber you will receive a piece of writing every Sunday, sometimes fortnightly.
You will receive 10% off all my online courses (please just let me know you’re a paid subscriber when you’re signing up to one).
And in 2024 I will be beginning The Imaginarium, an online salon that will be free for paid subscribers of this publication. Straddling the intellectual and the imaginal - as is the case with all of my work - it will be part lecture series, part book club, part experiential practice. As a paid subscriber, you will be the first to receive an invitation to this private community. So keep your eyes peeled!
Becoming a paid subscriber directly supports my fieldwork and independent research while giving you full access to my findings. If you have been taking my online classes, the paid publication may be of particular interest as it will give you further access to my scholarship on the wisdom traditions of pre-patriarchal lost lineages in Europe and the Near and Middle East.

A special thanks to subscribers who pay for my publication! Approaching this archive as an educational resource directly supports my writing, fieldwork and independent research. I’m currently writing my first book (well, two books at the same time to be precise!) and the growing paid community is making it possible for me to dedicate myself fully to writing.
To get started, here are some of my most popular pieces:
I hope you will consider joining me here, in the imaginal landscape known by Sufi mystics as the place where the two seas meet, the Nâ-Kojâ-Abâd ("the country of non-where”) of the ancient Persians, and the land east of the sun and west of the moon in the Russian fairytales.
Or, put more simply, see you under a fig tree.
** The title of this publication is in memoriam to my great-grandmother’s fig tree in Spain under which, as C. S. Lewis would put it, my imagination was first baptised.
