Daniel Giamario is the Executive Director of the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School and creator of the Shamanic Astrology paradigm. He joins together an academic background in Comparative Philosophy and Religion, with teaching meditation in two worldwide organizations, and extensive world travel. Daniel learned astrology in the late 1960s and was part of Dane Rudhyar’s humanistic astrological movement in the 1970s. After a vision quest experience on Mount Shasta in 1981, his astrological vision and spiritual path became more earth-centered and a shamanically-oriented astrology was born. For many years, his specialty has been connecting astrology to the night sky at secluded locations and sacred sites to directly experience “As Above So Below.†He has been a full time astrological consultant since 1984.
Shamanic Astrology has evolved as a rich blend of psychological, mythological, spiritual, and shamanistic elements, specifically designed to assist in the unfoldment of the individual’s life purpose and in navigating this pivoltal point of the Turning of the Ages.
In the early 1990s Daniel Giamario, with the help of Cayelin Castell, began The Shamanic Astrology Mystery School, a land-based, nomadic, and virtual curriculum for training individuals from all realms of personal and professional backgrounds in the use of the most important astrological tools and techniques. As of February 2007, 36 individuals have graduated as certified Shamanic Astrologers.
Daniel’s first book, The Shamanic Astrology Handbook, is available and a variety of other Shamanic Astrology books are in development. He has written numerous articles for the Mountain Astrologer and other publications. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s Daniel Giamario traveled extensively, teaching workshops all over the country in over thirty locations. He currently is traveling less, except for regularly scheduled events in the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School curriculum.
Daniel lives in Portland Oregon with his partner Kate McKee. Together they also teach classes through Kate's foundation "The Mandala of Wholeness". Daniel is available for personal and phone consultations, lectures and workshops. Daniel Giamario is a lively and stimulating radio and television guest and has hosted his own radio show on the Seventh Wave Network.
