Gyrus

He grew up in the fenlands of south Lincolnshire, and studied film and drama at the University of Reading. After graduating in 1993, he moved to Leeds, becoming immersed in DIY zine culture, the exploration of megalithic monuments, and the campaign against the Criminal Justice Bill. He edited and published The Unlimited Dream Company zine and Towards 2012 journal, and wrote the pamphlets The Devil & the Goddess and Verbeia: The Goddess of Wharfedale.

In 1999 he moved to London to work building websites, and since 2005 he has specialised in WordPress websites for charities and non-profits. The launch of Dreamflesh Journal in 2006 was soon sidelined by plans for a book emerging from research in the ’90s which converged on the significance of the pole star. This manifested in 2014 as the epic study North: The Rise and Fall of the Polar Cosmos.

Gyrus is just one gifted and highly independent Western truth seeker, but I believe him to be one of the very best. For his writing alone, Gyrus is worthy of our trust. But for his superb and enduring research, he is worthy of our deep gratitude.
