Malcolm
has at this date been an initiated 3rd Degree Wiccan (High
Priest) for 31 years. The late Simon Goodman and Lady Helen asked Malcolm
to take up the mantle of High Priest of the original Coven in Perth, Western Australia
in the early 1973. He is also a Lodge Master of a Hermetically Oriented Lodge
and is the third generation McLellan to rule the Australian Chapter as Grand
Master. Later, Malcolm met and married his second wife Lady Tanith who he
initiated and trained as a Wiccan High Priestess. Together they formed the
Coven of Lothlorien in Bassendean, Perth, and Western Australia.
Lothlorien was the “Open House” for Perth
Wiccan and became the feeder for several covens most of who were Daughter
Covens.
In early 1988 Malcolm resigned from
the coven and taking a sabbatical commenced to make the spiritual and temporal
preparations for the founding of the Clan O’Sliabh. This is a Wiccan based
group with 5 Degrees of initiation all being part ceremonial and part shamanic
of Irish Celtic orientation. After the filming and attending the TV Film “The Occult Experience” in Sydney, both he and Lady Tanith attended the Wicca 88
Conference in Canberra.
Some time after this Malcolm and Tanith separated and divorced.
Malcolm remarried and in 1992 moved to
Queensland
with his wife. During this time after arriving in the Sunshine State,
he was kept relatively inactive due to a heavy workload and a child. After he
and his wife divorced, Malcolm started to rewrite his BoS and reorganized it
into Four Books, each containing three sectors. Each of the four books being
orientated to the elements, thus the Codicis ex Veneficium (Books of Sorcery)
were created. At the time of writing, Malcolm is rewriting these books in a
calligraphy format of a similar style to the Book of Kells and using the Irish
decorative techniques of morphic patterns and knot work.
