M

y background is wide ranging from Hermetic/Qabalistic lodge work as taught by my Father, to Alexandrian Wicca into which I was initiated  and other practices which I am experienced in.  Although I am semi retired due to injuries, I am a Practising Counsellor / Therapist. I specialize in D/s; BDSM; Wicca / Paganism / Occult (all usually in matters of Stress and Abuse) as well as PTSD and Armed Conflict Solutions.

 I have been an initiated 3^rd Degree Wiccan (High Priest) since 1974. The late Simon Goodman and Lady Helen asked Malcolm to take up the mantle of High Priest of the original Coven in Perth, Western Australia in the early 1973.  Later, I met and married my second wife Lady Tanith who he initiated and trained as a Wiccan High Priestess. Together we formed the Coven of Lothlorien in Bassendean, Perth, Western Australia. Lothlorien was the “Open House” for Perth Wiccans and became the feeder for several covens most of who were Daughter Covens.

In early 1988 I resigned from the coven and taking a sabbatical commenced to make the spiritual and temporal preparations for the founding of the Clan O’Sliabh. This is a Wiccan based group with 5 Degrees of initiation all being part ceremonial and part shamanic of Irish Celtic orientation. After the filming and attending the TV Film “The Occult Experience” in Sydney, both Lady Tanith and I attended the Wicca 88 Conference in Canberra. Some time after this, Tanith and I separated and divorced.

I remarried and in 1992 moved to Queensland with my wife. During this time after arriving in the Sunshine State, he was kept relatively inactive due to a heavy workload and a child. After Vanessa and I divorced, I commenced the rewrite of my original Book of Shadows and reorganized it into Four Books, each containing three sectors. Each of the four books being orientated to the elements, thus the Codicis ex Veneficium (Books of Sorcery) were created. At the time of writing, I am rewriting these books in a calligraphy format of a similar style to the Book of Kells and using the Irish decorative techniques of morphic patterns and knot work.

With my current wife, I have re-activated the Clan O’Sliabh and founded Pagan Ministries. Both Malcolm and Anita are proud owners of a male Alaskan Malamute (Storm) and a female Siberian Husky/Alaskan Malamute cross (Aroha aka RaRa).
