Christopher's interest in folklore and mythology began at a very young age when his mother first read the stories of the Mabinogion, Edda's, the Irish Mythological Cycle, and various collections of folk tales. Over the years, his passion for the subject matter deepened, which resulted in his authorship of articles online and in magazines. His deep interest in folkways is buttressed with an educational background in psychology and history.
