About Guillermo Calvo Mahé

I’ve done many things over the years and I’ve lived in many places. Until 2016 I chaired the Political Science, Government and International Relations Program at the Universidad Autónoma de Manizales in the Republic of Colombia where I taught political science (human rights law, international and supranational law, constitutional theory, government and comparative political systems, history of political ideas, and, North American Studies), served as an English resource to faculty members, translated academic papers, and participated in development of international faculty and student exchange programs for the university. I periodically serve as a political commentator on local media and continue to be active as a writer and artist as well as a translator and interpreter. My university degrees are in political science, law, international legal studies and translation studies. I am active political matters both locally and internationally and have a passion for world affairs and history. I’ve sought spiritual enlightenment all my life but have yet to find definitive answers; I have, however, found an ever increasing and worthwhile, series of questions to speculate on. I am very drawn to the beauty, simplicity and justice of the Wiccan Reede. I love music, dancing, writing, reading, drawing, equestrian sports, tennis and softball. I maintain a warm and supportive ongoing relationship with my three sons in the USA. I was married twice with one serious relationship between the two marriages and also had several wonderful recent relationships. I dislike jealousy and respect the importance of private space and continuing individual growth; however, I also value loyalty and honesty very much and treasure affection.

Runic Realms

Runic Realms

There are times when I appear to descend through serpentine passages in deep wells towards dungeons where lost love lies, frozen, crystalized; seemingly immobile and immotive.

Passing through fields of vertigo-punctuated screams, for a brief instant I’m kissed by the shadow of phantom heat, fragrant and thick, and as sultry as honey. It seems to scent the air there, perhaps the shades of once might have beens that never were.

My calcified heart, hushed and seemingly frozen to sentiment, starts to stir then, tries to spread tendrils of memory in the direction of somnolent remembrances but is quickly stilled by a cold steel will comprised in equal parts of reminiscence and ephemeral instants of confusion and despair.

A place ruled by ambivalent goddesses, or perhaps more accurately, goddesses of the ambivalent. I wake then wondering why again, I find myself ensorcelled there.
