Myth-inspired fantasy that hums with wyrd magic

Across novels, serial fiction, and immersive audio, I explore the spaces where ancient ritual meets modern resonance—drawing on Anglo-Saxon lore, runic mysticism, and the lived experience of community storytelling.

If you’re into dark folklore, luminous character arcs, and worlds threaded with fate, I’d love to welcome you into these tales.

The Tales of Veldrith

Step into a realm where ley lines pulse beneath the earth, empires rise and fall, and heroes wrestle with curses older than memory. Follow Vestinus, Eira Thorsdottir, and an ensemble of haunted champions through political intrigue, forgotten magic, and destiny-forged alliances.

New episodes drop weekly—crafted for listeners who crave sonic world-building and relentless momentum.

Threads of Wyrd

Threads of Wyrd: Anglo-Saxon Magick, Belief, and Practice uncovers the spiritual lifeblood of early medieval England, where pagan roots entwined with emerging Christian ritual. Herbal charms, rune-scribed protections, and whispered oaths blur the boundary between the mortal and divine.

Dive into manuscripts, archaeology, and oral tradition to experience magick as the Anglo-Saxons breathed it—earthy, evolving, and radically human.

“Healing herbs sing of ancient oaths, runes whisper secret powers, and the twilight belongs to those brave enough to listen.”
