Greenmantle Magazine was started in 1993 by Paul Pearson, who has been a practising Pagan for over 25 years. His research into Pagan practices and magickal workings have given him experience in many diverse traditions.

Beginning his magickal workings with a coven of Cheshire traditionals, he then became a founder member and scribe of The Hermetic Order Of The Silver Blade, before teaching in Essex. Paul has been a writer for most of his life and is an award winning poet and a songwriter, and adapted Alan Garner's novel, The Weirdstone Of Brisingamen into a critically acclaimed musical.

Before beginning Greenmantle Paul was a regular contributor to several magazines including Ignews and Gates Of Anywn. Greenmantle itself was winner of the Golden broomstick award and still continues to challenge many conventions in the Pagan world.

Since it's conception, the layout and Artwork for the Magazine has been produced by Pagan artist Tricia Gill, founder member of Altar Image designs, and also a Pagan of over 25 years.

After completing her training at Manchester and Hull Art Colleges, where she specialized in illustration and fine art, she developed a unique approach to portraying the natural world.

She has had numerous exhibitions of her work throughout the UK, including Glastonbury and the Brighton Festival, and sells her work mail order.

Additionally she continues to be commissioned to contribute illustrations to a variety of publications including Greenmantle, and has illustrated a story for Careful magazine Issue 3, and has just finished an exhibition at the Druid's in Brightonin April and the open studio exhibition in the Brighton Festival this May with Indifference Productions Morrigan Nihil.
