In the not too distant past, astrology and magic were thought of as sister sciences, and while history is full of influential astrologer-magicians, magic and astrology emerged from the “dumpster fire” of the last two centuries of “rationality” estranged.

In this talk, practising occultist and astrologer JD Kelley will look at this entanglement. Through history, metaphysics, and praxis, he will delve into the coupling that gives rise to the art that is astrological magic.
