About Me
Hugh is an astrologer, designer, and artifex based currently on the occupied lands of the western United States. He is an occultist who walks an ever-evolving eclectic path in magic and the Mysteries. Hugh is deeply fascinated by languages— how words, symbols, and scripts bridge divides across time, cultures, and societies to bring wisdom to contemporary challenges.
“Fata regunt orbem, certa stant omnia lege
Longaque per certōs signantur tempora casūs”“Fates rule the world, all things stand fixed by
immutable law and long ages sealed through a certain course”
