Meet author Charles St Clair —
a wanderer of both the world and the imagination, whose life story reads like a journey through magic itself.
Born and raised in the Rust Belt of the USA, Charles pursued theater and acting before his path led him far beyond the stage. After studying acting and training in holistic healing with a visionary naturopath in India, Peter Mandel, he blended artistry with spiritual exploration, ultimately shaping a unique creative voice grounded in wonder and human connection.
Charles’s love of storytelling was ignited during several years in Berkeley, California, where he read original tales each week to preschoolers — among them the earliest adventures of the Little Witch. Though tiny in stature, she wields deep, elemental magic and journeys across realms experiencing and sharing her curiosity, courage, and magic.

Some influences/accomplishments:
* The book “Journey to Ixtlan” by Carlos Castaneda. It made perfect sense to me magic is needed to understand the world.
* One of my first published music CDs called “Celtic Ragas” found it’s way into Paul McCartney’s hands. He invited me and my then partner with band to travel to Ireland to play at his wedding in 2004. He is a fan.
* Julia Cameron’s book and workshop “The Artist’s Way,” which infused in me the correct relationship between the Artist’s work and spirituality.
