Djing for thr goth scene and running Darklands, with my lovley girlfriend. Practicing witch and very much into the pagan scene. Training in Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu and Naginata-do and I have an unhealthy obsession for Japanese culture, clothing and weapons (mainly samurai swords)!!
My ancestors! Miyamoto Musashi for a few tips on my swordwork.
Far too many bands to list. Mainly Goth, deathrock, industrial, synthpop, j-goth, ebm and underground alternative bands. Also like alot af Ambient stuff, neo-folk and Taiko drumming (like the Kodo drummers)!
Any Japanese Samurai films and asian horror gets my vote. Favorites are Zatoichi, Twilight Samurai, Shinobi no mono and any of the Kurosawa greats! Ashura, Gojoe, Kwaidan, Gozu, Premonition etc.. Also love films like Plunkett and McCleane, LOTR, Merlin, Hammer Horror and the like.
Heroes is my favorite series! It has to be said, I do like Time Team, sorry. A bit of a sucker for Most Haunted (its a good laugh). Any cool documentries on history, particuarly celts, henges, stone circles etc. Also like some period drama's and fantasy programs. Most other TV is CRAP, dominated by annoying football, Big Brother and X-factor!!!
My huge collection consists of mainly wiccan, pagan and occult reading but also includes horror, martial arts and a sizeable amount of history about the ancient landscape, stone circles etc.
Not one to put people on a pedistal but I do have alot of respect for Dr Masaaki Hatsumi, Toshiro Mifune, Miyamoto Musashi, Boudicca, Christopher Lee, and Jack Skellington is pretty cool!
