Travis McHenry has done much in his time on this planet. He’s been a professional actor, working in Hollywood among some of the most recognizable names in the industry. He’s tried his hand at writing and directing films. He was a Naval Intelligence Specialist for eight years. He’s developed an entire line of tarot decks rooted in Solomonic, Goetic Magic. And he’s founded his very own country, from which he and his team conduct Environmental work that they hope will help turn the tide of climate change.
