From Angels, Near Death to Inspiring Humanity: The Angellics of Music

Peter Gunn is a U.S. Air Force veteran, avid bodybuilder, coffee connoisseur, and poet dedicated to reviving the epic traditions of poetry and literary craftsmanship. His life journey has been marked by profound experiences—from a near-death encounter with an angel at the age of seven, to overcoming childhood obesity, and later serving as an altar boy, where he began questioning institutional structures.After honorably serving 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, Peter became a father in 2010, which inspired his creative path. Wanting to share his love of classic poetry with his daughter, he recognized the absence of the feminine in the hero’s journey and began writing The Amazons to address this gap. He also developed LLP—Linked Lyrical Poetry—a modernized form that blends tradition with contemporary resonance.In 2020, as the world faced the wake-up call of the pandemic, Peter launched the Sigma Squad graphic novel, rooted in the ancient Gnostic Gospels, designed to make hidden truths accessible to a wider audience. Most recently, in July 2025, he joined forces with a group of German musicians to form The Angellics, now in production of their first album.Peter’s work—whether through poetry, storytelling, or music—carries a common thread: awakening, empowerment, and the courage to see beyond the surface of life.You can connect with Peter via his website: www.petergunn.netOr via social media: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/If Peter could heal or change something in the world it would be to allow others to change themselves by yourself being the example.Thank you so much for listening to our podcast!🌿 Ceremonial cacao I personally use:Get herePerfect for meditation, ritual, and grounding practices discussed in this episode.My Book Obsession is Catherine Crestani’s virtual book club and reader space, where stories are released slowly and explored through reflection.It is home to Catherine’s novel My Virtual Obsession, a psychological story exploring intimacy, loneliness, desire, and the blurred edges between technology and connection.The full book is now available, with ongoing reflections and reader discussions inside My Book Obsession.🔗 Start here: mybookobsession.substack.comYou can check out our store with e-books, books, courses and more here - https://payhip.com/WillowHealingIf you would like to find out more about us check out willowhealing.org or our Substack willowhealing.substack.com .Feel free to link up with us on Instagram! @willowhealingshYou can email us directly at [email protected] healing!
