The Mystical Positivist - Radio Show #435 - 20SEP25
Podcast: This week on the show we feature a pre-recorded conversation with David Paul Coleman, professional astrologer, practitioner and teacher in the magical tradition of Franz Bardon, and author of The 26 Keys – The Magic of the Astral Light: A New Approach to Astrology. David has been a professional astrologer for 35 years and a practicing magician for much of that time, having first encountered Bardon’s Initiation into Hermetics in the mid 1990s. In working with this material, he found that he had a particular facility with astral magic and astral traveling, both of which complimented his work with astrology. His blog, Journeys in the Astral Light, contains a large collection of free material related to his unique perspective on astrology. In 2011, he published The 26 Keys as a new way to approach astrology inspired by his initiation and the practice of magic described in Initiation into Hermetics and The Practice of Magical Evocation. This book represents a unique synthesis of magical practice and a penetrating insight into astrological influence.
