Notă biografică
As a child given to strange, often terrifying dreams and waking visions, Philip sought ways to understand and deal with them. Conventional Christian and scientific worldviews failing to provide answers, he looked to alternatives including Norse Paganism, Zen Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Ritual Magic, particularly as taught in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and Alexandrian Wicca, in which he is an initiated High Priest. These ultimately led to Druidry, which he adopted in 1974 and has practiced ever since. Not finding an existing Druid group that reflected his vision of Druidry, in the late 1970s he founded the British Druid Order (BDO). Through it, Philip promotes a shamanistic vision of Druidry that has increasingly come to the fore in the 21st century and works directly with the spirits of the natural world, our ancestors and the old gods of Britain and Ireland. Working with ancestors led to pioneering calls for the respectful reburial of ancient human remains. The BDO also pioneered open ceremonies at sites in the UK and elsewhere, including Avebury and Stonehenge. The BDO also promotes greater appreciation of the rich medieval literatures of Britain and Ireland. A powerful vision during a ceremony in 1994 led to his adoption of the craft name, Greywolf. For the last 16 years, he has been editing, researching and writing distance learning courses for the BDO that are unique in the Pagan world. When not working on these, Philip is a musician, artist and craftsman, currently blending all three by recreating early British musical instruments, from prehistoric clay drums to medieval stringed instruments.
