About
Ronald ‘Chalky’ White (1924–1998) was an artist, poet and mystic. He was a prominent figure in the Pagan revival of the 1960s and 70s. In 1966 he and his friend George Winter founded the Regency, a group which held regular public ceremonies to observe the festivals of the seasons. This website has been set up to celebrate his life and work.

I had the pleasure of knowing Chalky (I was his gardener) and saw some of his works first hand and what a joy to behold.I still have a few of his sketches that were given to me shortly after his passing.Ah,the memories are flooding back, happy days and evenings in the pub.
