Short Biography:

 

Angel Millar was born and raised in England. An early interest in art and religion led him to study Western esotericism, and in his formative years he stayed annually at a Benedictine monastery in the south of England, and was a member of various esoteric circles in the same country. He has studied the modern occult tradition and Freemasonry for the last fifteen years, becoming a Freemason in New York in 2001 and being initiated into the Masonic Rosicrucian society not long after.
