Denny Sargent (a.k.a.: Aion, Hermeticusnath), writer, teacher and practicing Eclectic Ritualist, was first introduced to Mythology & Magick in New York where he grew up.  He has since his early teens been accepted as a member of a number of initiatory groups and esoteric associations. 
In 1979 he received his BA in Education and History. During this time he was one of the founding editors of Mandragore, a journal of magick and eclectic ritualism published in New York City.  In 1981 he was awarded an MA in Ancient History/Cross Cultural Studies from Western Washington University where he also taught History for three years. His research has included the magickal/religious traditions of Egypt, Sumeria, Greece, Rome, China, Japan, South East Asia. India, Europe and Pacific Northwest Indians (Kwakiutl).   In the early 1980's he helped found, write and edit Aeon and Kalika, journals that were concerned with contemporary ritual practice and creative mythology. 
From 1980 until today, the Western Magickal Tradition, Tantrika and Taoism have formed increasingly important foci for his studies and writing.  In the mundane world he has taught at several colleges and academies specializing in ESL and is currently an ESL Teacher Trainer teaching Seattle University classes. 
 He has written for many different Pagan and magickal magazines like Green Egg and Pangaia which carried his column Worldwide Rituals for several years. 
 Denny taught and lived and wrote for four years in Japan. There he was also a journalist for Eye Ai Magazine, City Life News, Via Magazine, Tokyo Today, The Japan International Journal, The Japan Times Weekly, The Tokyo Weekender, Mini-World and the Asahi Evening News.
