Introduction A South-African writer-editor living in the UK, I have a background in journalism and publishing. My personal interest is in western occultism and the esoteric tradition associated with astrology,alchemy and hermetic philosophy. I have an MA in the Cultural Study of Cosmology & Divination from the University of Kent and also practise as an astrologer - my website is astrologysphere.com. In 2014, I had the privilege of editing the second edition of the 1970's classic by Harold Wigglesworth. 'The New Astrology of Towns & Cities' a handy reference book of astrological data and interesting facts about England's major towns and cities. I am currently working on a book which focuses on the cosmology of astrology for a 21st century audience.
