Biography



Life
Steven William Ashe was born in Wolverhampton, England on December 30 1960.

Steven Ashe has an Honours Degree (B.A.) in Interactive Multimedia Communication and is a self employed author and publisher of esoterica and rare ancient manuscript facsimiles. His own works focus upon the recent historical manifestations of the Hermetic Qabalah in Europe and the USA as it affects the increasing uptake of individual spiritual inquiry as opposed to formalised religious initiatives. His speculative work upon the Qabalistic Tree of Life has been published as 'Qabalah of 50 Gates', detailing the mythic themes associated with the task of personal development within Qabalistic lore. Although this is heavily dependent upon the symbolism of the Western Hermetic Tradition, employing imagery from the tradition of Cornelius Agrippa, Francis Barrett, the Hermetic Order of Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley his focus encapsulates harmonious themes from the corpus of Islamic Shia mysticism which reflect his belief in a strong Islamic core residing at the root of the tradition known in the West as Rosicrucianism.

His published work includes 'The Complete Golden Dawn Initiate' (Glastonbury books 2007), 'The Qabalah Codex' (Glastonbury books 2007), 'The Testament of Solomon' (Glastonbury Books 2006), 'Qabalah of 50 Gates' (Mandrake of Oxford 2002) lectures for The Oxford Thelemic Symposium (1994, 1995), and articles published in Prediction Magazine (May 1982) and the audio format Isis Magazine (1988.
