Welcome!

The first question people often ask upon learning of my educational background in mathematics and physics, and 30-year career in computer science, is how I can possibly believe in magick, mysticism, the spiritual, and the paranormal.

The answer is that, knowing what I do, and having seen what I have, it's impossible not to at least accept the possibility of these phenomena. To find out why, see:

Faith and Physics

Everyone who reads Faith and Physics agrees that it is a life-changing experience. If you, like many modern people, have yearned to believe in something beyond the mundane day-to-day physicality of existence, but have feared that doing so would be tantamount to intellectual suicide, this book proves that one need not choose between scientific certainty and mystical doctrine, for both are completely consistent.

What's here

Much of what you'll find in this site has been developed in response to requests from visitors, discussion group participants, and newsgroup posters. When someone asks a question that I judge to have wider appeal, I try to record it here so others may benefit as well. Although my ostensible purpose in creating and maintaining this site is to promote My Books, music, and art  the vast majority of what is here is provided without charge.

If you discover that what appears in this site has merit, or reveals some glimpse of the underlying spirit, be assured that I draw upon this same power to imbue all of my creations with life and soul. . . My paintings, my carvings, my books, and even the software I develop, derive not of commercial considerations, but as artifacts of my personal quest for truth and growth.

If you wish to participate in that quest by purchasing a book, or some other of my creations, I am deeply grateful, and believe that you will not be disappointed. (I can also create custom carved staffs, wands, etc.--write me at the address below.)

For the convenience of my patrons, I accept credit card payments via PayPal.
