Robin Artisson has been studying and practicing
reconstructionist Paganism for 14 years now, which is
far longer than most people said he'd survive. He is
of Bernician (Anglo-Pictish) and Irish heritage on his
mother's side, and he has always felt a draw to the
old faiths of Britain and Ireland. Robin is a devoted
deep environmentalist, spiritual ecologist and
polytheologian, as well as a skilled practitioner of
shamanic healing and divination. By this, we mean to
say that Robin spends a good deal of time inducing
altered states of consciousness whereby he may (at
times) interact with extra-sensory reality for the
purposes of finding guidance for himself or others, or
for healing purposes. He performs these works in the
revived Pagan cultural context of his British and
Irish ancestry.
Robin is a learned herbalist and reader of
letter-sticks, as well as a skilled augurist and dream
interpreter. He is passionately in love with chess,
very dark ale, sushi, historical re-enactment
activities, occult studies, historical books and
research, systems theory, the Robin of Sherwood BBC
series (that is not the source of his name, however)
and writing. He is a father and husband, and a student
of life. Robin holds a BA in European History, an MA
in Criminal Justice and Policy Science, and is working
currently in the Family Therapy field, all alongside
his writing, of course. He has written (currently)
four books and countless articles online and in
various publications. Chances are, if you've hung
around the "pagan" internet, you've heard of him.
