I’m a retired Pagan Elder who has written articles and letters published in Pagan and Fortean periodicals and I still speak at spiritual conferences on my area of expertise; Germanic runes and Norse myth. I am 63, originally trained in graphic arts, and have had a creative career, starting after university with SFX animation for Disney’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit, (credited as ‘Derek Wood’). I’m now a professional magician, in wizard guise.
I'm also a popular, convincing, Santa impersonator – who has built this story around St Nicholas’s hagiography and fifteen years of giving plausible answers to children’s doubts.
