## Resource

For this week's very special, seasonally appropriate Local Legends episode we have something really special for you - a good long chat with Philip Carr-Gomm! Philip lives locally to us here in Sussex in Southern England, and is a psychologist, psychotherapist, and author who served as the Chosen Chief of The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD) for 32 years. He is widely recognized for his work in blending modern psychology with Druidry and nature-based spirituality, and if only for The Book of English Magic he deserves everyone's thanks and praise. With May Day/Beltane coming up fast, this chat sees Martin and Philip reflecting on some big topics, including how Philip's childhood and teenage training in Druidry opened his eyes up to wider spiritual worlds, the legacy of Iolo Morganwg, the Push-Pull nature of Gurus and Ashrams, the afterlife of Philip's mentor Ross Nichols, UFOs, astral projection, and much more besides. We truly hope that you enjoy it, and will speak to you again on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday this coming week - it's gonna be a big one!

Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episo…
