Martin Shaw

Martin Shaw is a mythteller, writer, and Christian thinker whose life has been one long rite of passage. Described by Robert Bly as “one of the very greatest storytellers we have,” Shaw draws on decades of experience with wilderness initiation, ancient lore, and oral tradition to explore what it means to live a mythic life in modern times.

The author of seventeen books - including Bardskull, Smoke Hole, and Courting the Wild Twin - Shaw’s work bridges the wild landscape of story with the inner terrain of transformation. From four years living in a black tent on remote English hills to punk rock tours, his path has been anything but conventional, his path has been anything but conventional.
