BIOGRAPHY

Valerio Crusco – born in '74 – was born in Rome and from a very young age has been passionate about Norse mythology and Celtic tradition. His study and research in these fields led him to collaborate with the cultural association "Grotta di Merlino" in Rome and with the Celtic music festival "Fairylands" in Guidonia. In 2010 he opened "Le Nebbie di Avalon", a shop inspired by the Arthurian Cycles, specialising in medieval items and Celtic jewellery. Since 2016 he has occasionally contributed to the online magazine www.ereticamente.net, publishing articles on spirituality and the Norse tradition. He was also head for several years of the New Earth Circle Project, a project aimed at spreading the age-old European culture through conferences and seminars. In 2020, together with Massimiliano Matteucci, he hosted a serialised radio programme on RadioBandieraNera (RBN) entitled "I Miti Nordici". For over twenty years he has devoted himself to various meditation practices and follows a path of spiritual and personal growth in the footsteps of Tradition. He lives in Carrara, at the foot of the Apuan Alps, and is a regular visitor to the mountains and their secrets.
