Mosher witnessed historic trials as a courtroom artist working for NBC, from 1986-1992 and witnessing landmark trials such as watching Morris Dees take on the insidious Ku Klux Klan and win. Through his own work, Mosher brings with him a host of scholars, historians, and technical authorities who will contribute to help restore and define what is the essence of character and leadership in America. Jim Bradford, considered America’s leading authority on the age of sail, has called Mosher’s works “visual novels” because of the amount of information they contain as a result of the intensity put into the research and development of the paintings. Mosher’s major goal is to create a new paradigm in the depiction of American history. He served for five years as Historian General of the Naval Order of the United States and received the Commander General’s medal for saving the organization’s archives, and played a pivotal role in creating the monument to the 1,068 Navy personnel lost during the D-Day Invasion on Normandy beach, June 6th, 1944. He has been a featured speaker in venues around the country, including being the first Heritage Speaker for the Surface Navy Association’s annual meeting in Washington, with two more subsequent presentations.
Mosher has worked closely with many of the world’s leading scholars, historians, and technical experts. He has taken a documentary crew into the Amazon and climbed mountains in the Andes, adventured in Mexico, had a private tour of the White House, and met and talked with some incredible people, including Neil Armstrong, Shelby Foote, and Jeremiah Denton.
He has sailed in tall ships, fired cannons, climbed to the masthead of a tall ship under sail, and flown in a vintage Wright Flyer. Mosher has had a fascinating life to date. In Norfolk's view paganism involves "direct communication with the divine" and is not to be confused with cults or devil worship.Īrguing that their beliefs should be recognised as a religion, pagans have worked closely with organisations such as the LSE's Inform, set up to provide families with information on cults.Dean Mosher has major artworks in many of the nation’s prominent institutions, including The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, The United States Naval Academy and Coast Guard Academy museums, National Park Visitor Centers, the Universities of Virginia and Alabama, and several museums. So what starts out as spooks and spells can lead to psychological and spiritual damage."īut pagans say teenagers have always been fascinated with paganism and the Christian Church has failed to satisfy the demand for spirituality in young people. "However for some young people it could fuel a fascination that leads to dangerous dabbling with occult powers. Mr Buckeridge said: "The growing number of books and TV shows like Harry Potter and Sabrina the Teenage Witch encourage an interest in magic as harmless fun.
"He explains things like the principle ethic of witchcraft - that you should not cause harm to anyone - and that it's not just an easy way to get a new boyfriend", says Pagan Federation media officer Andy Norfolk.īut the trend is described as "worrying" by John Buckeridge, editor of monthly Christian magazine Youthwork. The officer seeks parental consent before issuing basic information leaflets and does not proselytise, according to the Federation. Most of the enquiries are from 14 to 18 year-olds, and are dealt with "reactively" by a specially-appointed youth officer, an Essex based schoolteacher. The Pagan Federation, which deals with about 100 enquiries a month from youngsters who want to become witches, does not allow anyone under the age of 18 to become a member. But they do encourage people to think about different forms of spirituality", he said. "They are taken as fantasy entertainment.
