Autor se od mládí zajímá o historii, legendy a mytologii, kde rozvinul svou vášeň pro „zemskou magii“, lidové povídky a elementární příběhy. Tento zájem o staré dědictví se v pozdějším věku znovu probudil, což jej vedlo k prozkoumávání spojení mezi starými lidovými příběhy a vlastními výtvory. Cítil nutkavou potřebu zachovat tyto prastaré tradice tváří v tvář moderní průmyslové a konzumní kultuře. Věnuje se také dobrovolnickému průvodcovství a přednáškám na tato témata, čímž sdílí svou hlubokou znalost a lásku k nim.
