About the author

Born Walter Gorn Old in Handsworth, England, on March 20, 1864, he wrote under the name Sepharial, a pseudonym he took from an angelic name found in the Book of Enoch. He was associated with the Theosophical movement and became widely known as an astrologer, teacher, and writer on occult subjects.

Over the course of his career, he produced a large number of books on astrology, numerology, and related esoteric traditions. He was especially known for making astrology accessible to general readers through practical manuals and explanatory works, which helped build his lasting reputation among later students of the subject.

Sepharial died in Hove, England, on December 23, 1929. A suitable verified portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
