Damh the Bard is an OBOD Druid and a modern Pagan Bard who takes his inspiration from the Old Ways, and the Spirits of the Land. "There is beauty and wonder all around us, and the Bardic tradition helps to open our eyes,
to allow us to see the world through the eyes of a poet". His performances blend music, poetry and storytelling, and are a return to an ancient Druidic/Bardic teaching tradition, using his own methods of 'edutainment'.

Dr Robert J Wallis is Associate Director of the MA in Art History at Richmond the American International University in London and Co-Director of the 'Sacred Sites, Contested Rites/Rights Project'. He has taught archaeology, art history and religious studies at a number of British
universities. His research interests, as an academic and Pagan, focus on indigenous and prehistoric art, especially shamanistic rock art, and the re-presentation of the past in the present, particularly by contemporary Pagans. His book 'Shamans/neo-Shamans: Ecstasy, Alternative Archaeologies and Contemporary Pagans' (Routledge 2003) has been short-listed for The Folklore Society 'Katharine Briggs Award' 2003.

Teresa Moorey has written thirty-eight books on witchcraft, astrology and related subjects, including the best-selling 'Witchcraft, A Beginner's Guide'. She is a practising counsellor, hypnotherapist and astrologer, and is also an astrology correspondence course tutor having gained the Diploma and Gold Medal of the Faculty of Astrological Studies in 1989. For her entire adult life she has explored the mysterious and the mystical. As a witch she works on her own and in a Wiccan coven. She has four children aged 6- 23 years.

She gained her first degree at Cardiff University, her M.Litt. from the University of Oxford and her PhD. from the Open University. Before joining UWCN, Prof. Aldhouse-Green held appointments at Worthing and Peterborough
Museums, the Open University in Wales and Cardiff University. She contributes modules on Roman and Iron Age Britain and Art, Ritual & Death to the Archaeology undergraduate programme at UWCN, and is joint programme leader for the MA in Celto-Roman Studies.
