Welcome to the website for the Cosmology and Divination Project. We would like to attract the attention of potential host institutions who may be interested in promoting the study of theories and practices of divination in both Western and Eastern traditions.

We are a group of academics who are also diviners. We have pioneered the academic study of divination (astrology, tarot and I Ching) in an MA programme at the University of Kent, Canterbury for the last three years, but this will be ending in August 2010. We are therefore developing a new programme based on our experience at Kent and seeking a new academic affiliation. In the first instance we would like to offer it by distance learning, but ideally would welcome both on-site and e-learning opportunities.
On this website you will find information about us, our interests and publications, the academic study of cosmology and divination and the MA programme. You can download papers, podcasts and videos which demonstrate the scope of our work, buy our books and CDs, and join our divination discussion forum. For any further information, email
