DENNY SARGENT: BIOGRAPHY


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 from Oneonta College, New York. 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 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, 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 (English as a Second Language). He has currently returned to his first love, teaching, as a Teacher Trainer. 
    He has written for many different Pagan and magickal magazines. Both Denny and his wife Sophia currently hold workshops and festivals out of their Forest Yurt set in the woods behind their house in Seattle, WA.  They have a lovely child, Forrest, who perseveres with joy and courage through the challenges of autism. 
     Denny taught and lived and wrote for four years in Japan from 1989-93. In Japan he had an ecological textbook published called Heal the Earth and 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. Denny has engaged in extensive traveling and on-site research in Australia, China, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, Hawaii, Mexico, Thailand and America.  A book resulted from all of this:  Global Ritualism, Myth & Magick Around the World. 
    Denny Sargent's next book, The Tao of Birth Days, was published in 2000. It is an in depth study of Natal I Ching Hexagrams. A bit later in 2000 another book (co-written with Sophia) The Magical Garden was issued as well. 
    His previous book on the Holy Guardian Angel, YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL AND YOU has  been published by Red Wheel/Weiser

    He is currently promoting his new release, CLEAN SWEEP
    & he is available for book signings, workshops and media appearances.
