Coleston Brown Bio

Coleston Brown is a writer, artist, and independent scholar who is committed to practicing and teaching the Magical Way.

He defines the Magical Way as a trans-religious spiritual path that enables people to work with sacred lore in all its
forms~ stories, legends, myths, rites, images and so on ~ as an effective way of personal and planetary transformation.

Coleston started began trained for seven years with Gareth Knight in the arts of Seership, Magic, and the Tree of Life.
Knight, working in the line of Dion Fortune, initiated Brown in 1986 at the famed Hawkwood College in England.
Coleston has spent the ensuing years training and initiating others in Canada and the United States. During this time he has
written two books, a number of articles, and was featured in Gnosis magazine.

In 1995, Brown founded Sun Chalice Books, a small but influential esoteric publishing house. As a publisher he was able to make a number of
important and rare works available to the public. These included several significant books by Gareth Knight, the works of the late Anthony Duncan, a
Scottish seer and priest, a lost manuscript of Dion Fortune on Esoteric Healing, and the collected papers of Margaret Lumley Brown ~ an associate of
Dion Fortune's and a pioneer in the fields of Elemental and Faery work.

He also authored a correspondence course on Magical Christianity and a ritual system based on the legends and lore of the Four Archangels and the
Three Magi.

His current projects include writing books on the Magical Way, the practice of Elementa, an integrative exercise which he developed, Celtic zither
music, and exploring family legends about the "Wizard of Yester," a thirteenth-century Scottish wizard.

Brown teaches through writing, recordings, lectures and workshops. He has travelled widely and taught workshops and classes in many places in the
US and Canada. He is also an authority on the Avalon Star Temple, more popularly known as the Glastonbury Zodiac.
