Tristram Burden

Tristram Burden - Profile

With grandparents who were practicing Christian Scientists, a grandfather who was a yoga enthusiast and who studied eastern mysticism, an uncle who studied Theosophy, a father who was a Freemason and aspiring Rosicrucian, a mother who was a member of esoteric Christian sect the White Eagle Lodge and an Anthroposophist, from an early age Tristram Burden was surrounded by the Esoteric.

A technical hitch during an Astral Traveling experiment when he was sixteen introduced him to Kundalini, and on his journey towards understanding the phenomenon he has had close encounters with a wide range of New Age beliefs and practices, some of which he has taken on-board for his life's journey, and others which he has lain aside, maintaining a critical distance from what works for him, to what doesn't.

He is an empowered Sekhem practitioner, an Adi-Nath and a member of the Horus-Maat Lodge and the Hermaphroditic ChAOrder of the Silver Dusk, and studied contemporary and alternative religions at degree level.

Tristram has contributed material to a variety of publications, amongst them Prediction Magazine, Ashe: Journal of Experimental Spirituality, and Silk Milk Magi-Zain. He lives in the south-west of England, surrounded by sacred sites and bearing perpetual witness to the Modern Pagan Revival.
