power of perception writers with Brendan Howlin

Brendan Howlin will be 57 years old in the summer of 2016. I am a Leo with a Gemini ascendant, sometimes more insufferably Leo and sometimes not. I have a PhD in Chemistry during which I got interested in crystallography and computer graphics. I spend most of my time lecturing in the Chemistry department at the University of Surrey but teach and research, mostly in computing. I have been interested in mythology from an early age, I remember my Father saying 'not another blessed fairy story!' I followed this up with reading about other religions than my natal Roman Catholic and got interested in the Qaballah and meditation at university. Coming from a dysfunctional family I also got heavily into self help psychology and from that into mysticism. My claim to fame is that I read all the books recommended in the Druid course before I started but needed the course to give me structure. My wife gave me a copy of the Book of Druidry, which I read and put aside for several years until I read the Druid Way and thought 'Wow, you can live this stuff!' and here I am.
