    Ian Fleming was a true visionary, a dualistic individual who spent much time in his early life in a "special" school in Austria. It was here where he learned the sacred ways of the early Gnostics and Occultists and developed the very root of the enigmatic secret and eternal charisma of James Bond. 
     
    Fleming explicitly said that Bond was Manichean, a distinctly Gnostic concept. The Bond books and films are strategically seeded with alchemical and Gnostic references for those with "the eyes to see". Fleming associated with mystics and initiated individuals around the globe. 
     
    In the Bond Code, we shall see how deep this web of the occult truly went. Fleming lived in a fantasy world that led him into a land of sinister and esoteric thought. He created his own alter-ego as a great alchemical work to fulfill his own tumultuous and chaotic mind, and he left behind a set of clues and codes for us to decipher. 
     
    Philip Gardiner finally unravels the secret of James Bond, piece by piece, radically reappraising everything we thought we knew about this secret agent and his creator. 
     
    Join us on this journey in a very special and unique audio book version.

    John Herdman's beautiful and mysterious Edinburgh tale, Pagan's Pilgrimage, first published in Scotland 1978.
    
    
    With nascent love abandoned and the recurring presence of the creeping 'wrinkled-nosed' laundry man of a traumatic childhood, the stagnating life of Pagan must be revived by the discovery of a somewhat questionable raison d'être ― the assassination of an aristocrat.
    
    The spleenful nature of Herdman's titular protagonist and a selection of odd experiences perfectly sets up a strife deep within himself: can Pagan commit to his partially book-found life-calling, tangled into his pilgrimage?
    
    In Pagan's Pilgrimage, John Herdman expertly demonstrates his capacity to evoke complicatedly moralising characters with haunting effect. Equal parts absurd and ephemeral Pagan's Pilgrimage is an enigmatical Edinburgh tale.
    
    
    "A sustained and often brilliant performance ... sheer comic invention and verbal ingenuity ... This is an observant, intelligent and humorous novel of great merit."
    
    Alan Bold, The Scotsman
    
    
    ".... the writing is brilliant .....a kind of exploration of the Scottish soul .... An unforgettable piece of writing."
    
    Cuthbert Graham, Press & Journal
    
    "There is a seriousness at the heart of it, a wide philosophical background, and an acute psychological verity ... all that I have spoken of will delight you."
    
    Catherine Lockerbie, The Student
    
    "Remarkable in its clarity and disturbing in its implications. The novel is an impressive construct, amusing, climactic, at times dreadful, and locked together in tidily effective prose."
    
    David Campbell, Scottish Educational Journal

    originally written as separate poems for contests on allpoetry.com I tacked them together to make this epic the story in verse of the Life and death of Vivienne and the Reaper, Incidentally, the first part is told by the unnamed Jack Taylor who has a bigger part in the later version of Vivienne and the Reaper and appears in my Magicians series as the annoying orderly.
