More About the Author

Stephen Skinner wrote, with Francis King, the classic "Techniques of High Magic" in 1976. He followed that with "Oracle of Geomancy" and "Terrestrial Astrology: Divinatory Geomancy", which has become the standard work on Western divinatory geomancy. Highly illustrated books on "Nostradamus" and "Millennium Prophecies" followed. He also edited "Aleister Crowley's Magical Diaries" and "Astrology".

In the 1970s Stephen was responsible for stimulating interest in John Dee and Enochian magic by publishing through his imprint Askin Publishers the first reprint of Meric Casaubon's "True and Faithful Relation of What Passed for Many Yeers between Dr John Dee and some Spirits.." and Dr Donald Laycock's key reference book on the angelic language "The Complete Enochian Dictionary".

He is currently working with David Rankine to reproduce the best available source books of practical ceremonial magic, particularly from old never before printed manuscripts owned by practising magicians.

His latest book on magic, "The Complete Magician's Tables" is a book of correspondences, which with more than 800 tables, is the most complete tabular book of magical correspondences in print.

Stephen is also the author of eight books on feng shui, including the first English one in the 20th century.

He has written more than 27 books translated into 20 different languages. He lives in Johor Bahru, near Singapore, where he researches both feng shui and classical magic.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was the source of feng shui in the West, and still best, September 5, 1999
By A Customer
This book puts feng shui into its original landscape setting by someone who learnt it in 1976 before it all became a subset of interior decorating. This is still the clearest book in print. Read it with Lillian Too and Derek Walters and Eva Wong, and you have the real feng shui

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the original source books, with in depth details, September 29, 1998
By A Customer
Really well ordered book on a very complex subject, by someone who has studied in HK, Singapore under masters, and read texts in the original Chinese and applied knowlege. This book was first written in 1976, before all the ho ha about feng shui and contains material that still has not been grasped by later writers. A great reference book for people who are serious about feng shui!
