Now retired, Allan is married with two sons and four grandchildren. He has spent much of his adult life exploring and developing an understanding of spiritual disciplines, including: prayer & meditation; symbolism; liturgical studies; mysticism, kabbalah, and spiritual healing methods.
In 1975 he joined the Order of Dionysis & Paul, a small mystical order within the Holy Celtic Church dedicated to the spiritual life, an order that consists of men and women committed to living the contemplative life whilst dwelling in the secular world.
Allan served the order as Prior-General since 1991 and heads up a Study Society called the Fellowship, a society open to all who wish to develop a greater understanding of the Western Mystical Tradition.
Books & Podcasts
Allan runs a small publishing company called Imagier Publishing, specialising in books on the Western Mystical Tradition. Along with his own books he publishes works by other authors and new editions of past works that express the depth and richness of radical streams of Western esoteric spirituality. Since 2021 he has focussed more on producing Audiobooks and Podcasts.
