"Mark Townsend is, in his own words, ‘a confused bugger’. He is both a priest of the Church of England and member of the Magic Circle, and sees both roles as essentially to do with evoking the priest-ess / magician within those whom he has the privilege of meeting. He has performed in front of such diverse groups as Massai Warriors and retried Roman Catholic Nuns, and leads retreats that combine magic and spirituality. Mark has also had many of his original magical stories and magic effects published, some of which he has performed on television. 

More recently Mark has become a traveller on the Druidic path and is a member of both TDN and OBOD. As the interview will show he has, over the last few years, developed a deep appreciation for the spirituality of nature and the divine feminine. One of his books was conceived (and partially) written within a forest – which he calls his true cathedral. Mark has had three books published so far, all of which combine the two elements of magic and spirituality. He is now busy working on a fourth, which will included a dozen or so real life stories of modern day Druids."

As he says "The first bit takes a while to get going (and I waffle for a while about my over-zealous Christian past) but if you can get past that you might find it a bit of fun."
