FEATURED AUTHOR
Susan Elizabeth Greenwood
My research on magic started with an undergraduate degree in anthropology and sociology and then a PhD in anthropology published as Magic, Witchcraft and the Otherworld in 2000. Now many publications later, I'm still researching and a working on a volume developing magical consciousness. I've lectured in anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London, and on altered states of consciousness at the University of Sussex. I now lecture internationally.

Areas of Research / Professional Expertise
-
My areas of research and professional expertise lie in developing magical consciousness as a theoretical notion, and also as individual experience. For many years at the University of Sussex I ran academic courses that aimed to expand students' knowledge of alternate modes of consciousness through practical application and analytical study. I now teach these courses privately while continuing to lecture internationally.
