The Vision-Seer

And Just Who Is Robin Artisson?

 We'd like to tell you, but, as the great writer Oscar Wilde said, "only shallow people really know themselves". Each person is far more deep and complicated than whatever banal facts we usually identify them with, but having said that, we feel that a short bio of Robin Artisson is in order- it may be edifying (or amusing, or hopefully inspiring) to you to understand what depths this mad-eyed fanatic for the Gods has gone to, to promulgate his art.

Robin Artisson has been studying and practicing reconstructionist Paganism for 14 years now, which is far longer than most people said he'd survive. He is of Bernician (Anglo-Pictish) and Irish heritage on his mother's side, and he has always felt a draw to the old faiths of Britain and Ireland. Robin is a devoted deep environmentalist, spiritual ecologist and polytheologian, as well as a skilled practitioner of shamanic healing and divination. By this, we mean to say that Robin spends a good deal of time inducing altered states of consciousness whereby he may (at times) interact with extra-sensory reality for the purposes of finding guidance for himself or others, or for healing purposes. He performs these works in the revived Pagan cultural context of his British and Irish ancestry.

Robin is a learned herbalist and reader of letter-sticks, as well as a skilled augurist and dream interpreter. He is passionately in love with chess, very dark ale, sushi, historical re-enactment activities, occult studies, historical books and research, systems theory, the Robin of Sherwood BBC series (that is not the source of his name, however) and writing. He is a father and husband, and a student of life. Robin holds a BA in European History, an MA in Criminal Justice and Policy Science, and is working currently in the Family Therapy field, all alongside his writing, of course. He has written (currently) four books and countless articles online and in various publications. Chances are, if you've hung around the "pagan" internet, you've heard of him.

The Services of a Healer and Seer

  As a function of Robin's spiritual vocation, he offers what services he can to those in need, all free of charge, naturally. He is a skilled diviner, and can engage any person of true need in "divination counseling"- either through reading letter-sticks, interpreting dreams, or seeking out visions and omens on behalf of another person who needs guidance through a difficult time in life. Those who are interested in working with him in this manner need only contact him through the "contact" page. He also works with people to discover herbal and natural alternatives to treating minor ailments or increasing overall physical energy and health- anyone with a serious medical problem is advised to seek out a physician and engage them faithfully before writing to Robin for his alternative perspectives.
