Diane - What’s next for the Dolmen? Taloch - The Dolmen have gone through
many different changes and we are currently working on a Celtic album, having decided we would like to work more within the Celtic motion…you could say travelling back to the Mabinogion and bringing to life a few old traditions and a few old songs. So that is currently being prepared at the moment. The wytches and cunningfolk album will be out soon and that is something we will push very hard. And then we are going to fall back on our roots with the magick and the wytchlord as we are putting together The Infernal Theatre which will also tour and which we plan to take to the Netherlands and Germany as well as England. The Infernal Theatre is something new and very different and we will be working together with other artists to produce a wonderful show which will be very eerie, exploring the darker side of magick and which promises to be an interesting show. It is a very new project for us – compiling a repertoire of music and songs together as well as using other artists to make this theatre play happen.
Diane - Who inspires Taloch Jameson? As a
musician?I’m not inspired by other musicians but I love to watch them and enjoy their music. I am inspired by the world in which I live and to be honest my world is considered a fantasy, but to me it is my reality and that’s what really inspires me, it’s where I live and that’s what I write about. I’m not inspired by anyone else because other people have their own dreams and I have my own.
Diane - And as a magician? Taloch - My connection with the magickal
world is purely based on my connection with the spirit world and everything which is pushed in my way comes from the spirit world, so I enjoy seeing others achieve within the magickal world. For instance, there are so many people that have dedicated so much to the pagan revival and although I am not inspired by them, I am interested in their achievements and their teachings. The books of Ronald Hutton are incredibly interesting as he is a great historian and his talks, like his books bring up many valid and interesting points. If anything, I find the honesty of a natural magician inspiring.
