I am English. I currently live in Russia, and have held Russian citizenship since in 2001.
I am compiling and editing a commentary and series of glossaries in English, Russian, and French to the works of key expositors of the sophia perennis1 beginning with those of René Guénon at hierarchia.com. I also publish occasionally on Substack.
Previous projects and milestones include:
- Speaker on YouTube in support of writing projects (2015-2024)
- Independent writing project (2014-2022):
- Op-ed writer, Russia Today (2014-2015)

- A definition of this term will inevitably appear on hierarchia.com at some point. Much of the Wikipedia definition of the Perennial philosophy would be rejected by Guénon himself and other key proponents. ↩︎
