A storyteller stands out from the crowd. Even when they are standing quietly at the back of a room, they have a presence. People are drawn to them. Moses Aaron is a human magnet. He connects with people at a psychic level and they instinctively respond to his magical, but gentle, force.

Considered one of Australia’s most significant storytellers for over twenty-eight years, adults and children are touched by Aaron’s colourful stories. His pet, invisible, rat, Ahasuerus Buttadeus; Mephisto, the crocodile; Pink Frolic the flamingo and Uncle Squdoo, the hebephrenic cephalopod, provide endless inspiration for his work and give amazing pleasure to all who visit the Sydney home he shares with his brother, and two adorable cats Baalbazek aka Aubu and Balaam aka Bing.

Moses Aaron was born in Calcutta, India in 1944, and came to Australia in 1952. He once lived with the Enchantress of a Thousand Cats, and her two dogs, Diva Doppelgange a chicuahua and Thuggee Pang, a Pekingese, who Moses insists was a Kali worshipper and hopelessly in love with Dolly Buster - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_Buster

He is a master storyteller, and often draws from tales of many cultures to weave a rich tapestry in which ancient classics are made to sparkle anew.

Moses is a philosophic-psychologist who understands the human condition. For many years he was a specialist secondary school teacher, working with young autistic people; he connected with them in a way few others ever could.

His favourite things are: words, grotesquery, mythology and non-dualist eastern philosophies.
