I
started life as a musician, (almost literally - I began training as a
classical musician age 3 1/2!) my first professional engagement at
eight years old was playing salon piano on a cruise ship. I pursued a
successful musical career as a guitarist from the age of sixteen until
I was thirty two.
At eleven I began a deep study of Magick and have continued to practise
to this day. When I turned nineteen I dedicated the Sacred Oath
to the Goddess and have been devoted to Her ever since.
In 1977 I stepped onto the path of Thelema and practised all aspects of this great work, including Sex Magick.
From 1981 to 1987 I commenced the most comprehensive and
intensive esoteric, spiritual training on the planet, under The Golden
Dawn. During this time I also became a brother of the order of
the Knight Rose and Cross.
In 1990 I began serious study of tantra as a spiritual lifestyle, both
taoist and Indian, including tantric healing and massage, which I now
offer professionally.
After becoming a father to twin boys in 1990 I could no longer continue
as a touring musician, so I changed career and began working with
computers. I spent many years at the top of my game as a consultant
and saw a lot of the world (that CV would not hold much interest here!)
Motorcycles have always been a source and symbol of freedom, love, and
passion in my life, right there next to music (I still play). I built
my first motorcycle at age 14 (for those interested in such things it
was a BSA Bantam frame with a Triumph tank and parts) and have ridden
Brit bikes ever since. I currently ride a slightly evil, matt-black and
bare metal Harley. One of the most transformational experiences
of my life was joining a unique bike club, which had a spiritual
foundation. We were the demon hunting dogs that guard the gateway
to the Celtic cross between Valhalla and the mystical land of milk,
honey, and truth - the magical gateway opens twice a year and one year,
one Spring, I just stepped through. My perspective on life
changed forever.
My boys had grown up and it was time to stop killing myself working in
the IT termite mound. I stepped off the cliff into the
unknown - to fall or fly, I had no idea what would happen...
The next day I met Kavida Rei.
Three weeks after connecting with Kavida we found ourselves in an
ashram on a tantric meditation retreat in Northern India. From there we
travelled up into the Himalayan mountains to perform Magick of the most
intense kind with eagles gliding in the air outside our mountain-top
nest.
Two hawks of Horus took flight above our heads and we have been flying
together ever since, bringing together magick and mysticism in the most
profound ways, including giving healing sessions, advanced tantra
groups and spiritual retreats.
I have been quietly teaching advanced, experiential tantra in sacred
union with Kavida for two years now. I am a founding member of
tantra-mens’ group – Tantric Knights. I manage and develop the Kavida
Rei internet empire as well as running the now legendary tantra nights
- Sensual Soirees.
Our tantra temple is growing.
