The story began in 1972, when Richard was born on October 28th.
The following 28 years gave him reason to doubt the value of his life.
If there was a mistake to be made, a wrong turning to take, a mis-judgement to make, he did it. Time and time again he got it wrong in life. So wrong in fact that on more then one occasion he faced Death square on.
But 2000 was a turning point, as it was for many, and that year Richard finally accepted the gifts and abilities he had possessed from birth, and began pursuing his life purpose in earnest.
Since then he has devoted his life to the illumination of those who wish to know, and those who wish to learn.
He practises mystic arts and psychic skills, always reaching for the stars from a stable and secure base. He practises and teaches divination, personal improvement, psychic and inner development and has a dream.
He dreams that one day the nail that sticks out will no longer be knocked down.
He dreams that the genius locked deep within every living human being can be harnessed and put to work for the improvement of each individual and thus of the human race.
He fights conformity and uniformity at every turn, seeks change and respects reality - knowing that although truth sometimes hurts, it's always better to know than to live in the darkness.
He knows this. He doesn't just believe it, he has investigated and questioned and argued until the point of exhaustion and is satisfied with the answers he has received.
He deals with the way things are, not how he wishes them to be.
He lives in Cheltenham and Northampton, runs his own print and publishing company, organises festivals and events, has written 6 books and numerous magazine articles, and has appeared on radio and at many events nationwide.
