As I was driving to work today, I happened to hear a programme on the ABC Radio National programme "Lifematters" about a former skinhead, and his "conversion" away from that violent lifestyle, largely in response to becoming a parent (not, by his own admission, initially a very good one). The programme's details are:
Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead
Frank Meeink was once one of the most notorious skinheads in America. But a lot has changed for Frank since the days he proudly wore a five inch Swastika tattoo on his neck. He tells his story in Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead.
See here. for the programme link, here and here for a couple of my previous posts which are relevant, and here for Frank Meeink's website, including details of his book.

This blog ( sub-title "Reflections from the Sideline") passes on my knowledge of spiritual and psychic matters, gained over more than half a century as a minor Servant of Life/Earth Empath/hermit/often Psychic Warrior in fields such as spirit rescue, clearing, energy work, crystals, Paganism, runes, past lives, healing, and from running groups and workshops. I also share some of my problems [Content Warning!] and spiritual / psychic innovations. All opinions are my own.
