Darby Costello studied psychology, philosophy and theology in America in the mid 1960s, and during the late 60's began to study astrology in Boston, first with Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker and then with Isabel Hickey. She then went to South Africa where she worked in a small museum dedicated to educating people to the richness of the indiginous cultures. For seven years she lived and worked with sangomas, the shamans and healers of southern Africa. Building her own astrological practice while immersed in this work opened up conversations with the sangomas that would have been otherwise inconceivable. Read more...
