edit data

I developed an interest in myth, magic and symbolism in my late teens and have continued exploring these themes in later life. I have become especially interested in ancient Near Eastern art and through my own writings I have tried to find the meanings of ancient artistic icons.
At times I am happy to review books by budding authors but please be aware my interests are limited to non-fiction works on myth, symbolism and ancient art.
