Podcast 23 - Neil Hague
Artist, writer, and visionary Neil Hague joins us to discuss his work and many related subjects. The mastery of painting and drawing that allows him to portray profound ideas is remarkable.
“Neil Hague is a UK visionary artist, authorial illustrator, speaker and writer. Originally trained in graphics and book publishing, he was one of the founders of Bridge of Love Publications. His work has been described as ‘neo-shamanic’ by people who have heard him talk or who have seen his art.
He has had numerous exhibitions of his visionary work in London and his paintings have appeared on book covers all over the world. Inspired by native cultures, ‘universal’ symbols, archetypes and a love of nature, Neil often links and utilises these sources in his own work. In his 2002 book Through Ancient Eyes (Quester Publications), he illustrates a personal and fascinating approach to art and image making.
His latest book Journeys in the Dreamtime was published May, 2006.”
“Cathar Portal” by Neil Hague
Neil and I discuss a wide range of topics including consciousness, creativity, art, mysticism, spirituality, religion, tarot, science fiction, and predictive programming. I think you’ll find Neil’s perspective to be quite interesting and uplifting. Be sure to check out his excellent books - “Journeys in the Dreamtime,” which explores the ‘illusion of time’ and ancient myths and archetypes as understood by the great visionaries, as well as, “Through Ancient Eyes - Seeing Hidden Dimensions - Exploring Art and Soul Connections.”
Neil’s work is not only enjoyable and informative, it is quite important to truly understanding the world around us and how it came to be so.

A great interview. Neil has been my tutor for the past year at college on a Graphic Design Diploma. The points he raises in our classes are very interesting. I think its a shame that most of todays up and coming designers/artists are overlooking these alternative ways of thinking, and instead are choosing to stick to this ‘conventional reality’ as neil described.
