Nick Campion's primary interest is the way in which human beings align themselves with the cosmos. He became interested in the stars as a child, and his concern with religion took him to a fascination with their perceived meanings. While an undergraduate at Cambridge in 1973 he read that astrology had been part of the medieval university curriculum. When he asked his tutors about this, he was told it was irrelevant. So Nick set out to understand what exactly it was that medieval astrologers were teaching. He became fascinated by the question of what astrology is and what astrologers do, philosophically, sociologically, spiritually and politically. Read more...

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...
