About this Book Scan
Carefully reproduced in full colour from our original printing of the 1895 first edition.
Walter Gorn Old, a.k.a. Sepharial, was one of the leading British astrologers and esotericists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. ‘Kabalistic Astrology, or Your Fortune in Your Name’ was one of his first significant books, and this was the first of several editions. Later revised editions, which reversed the order of the elements of the title, continued to be in print well into the early 20th century.
