Name: |
David Garland |
|
Position: |
President |
|
Bio: |
David is the founder of the Pagan Awareness Network Inc, and started the public full moon circles in Sydney's Seven Hills that have run continuously since 1997. Although being raised a Roman Catholic and a regular at the Church until the age of 14 as an alter boy. He soon found that after a discussion about graven images and idol worship with the priest, this was not the place for him. His Italian Grandmother who used to read playing cards first sparked his interest in Tarot and things that were Magickal. David has been practising earth based Magick/religion since 1986, starting his path as a healer, Tarot reader and psychic, leading to his interest in modern Paganism and then to formal Gardnerian Wiccan training. |
