Benjamin Adamah was born on May 17, 1964 in the Dutch city of Delft. As a teenager he got interested in mythology, folklore, psychology and philosophy, resulting in an ever growing scepticism concerning the self proclaimed “rational superiority” of the western way of thinking and reality mode. An interest in metaphisics, astrology and magic was a logical follow up of this inner development:
“My conclusion is that spirituality in the West is mainly an outgrowth of the state religions. The state religions have done the same as science and politics: they flanked an artificial reality over a primal natural reality and called this modified reality the only real reality.
Western mainstream spirituality, with its aim at transcendence and soaked in guilt and submission complexes is also an antivitalistic form of spirituality, which I do not agree with. After all, it has uprooted and alienated man from the pure, natural and unpoliticized primeval soil, from which we all flutter into the world through the vaginas of our mothers.
My interest in the occult and astrology has therefore always been an attempt to uncover and understand the primordial reality, its language, logic and rules. This primordial reality IS the magical reality! Magical traditions and astrology provide a way to actively reconnect with this reality, just like our dreams keep connecting us in a passive way.”
Right from the beginning his interest in both magic and astrology was flanked with a lot of practice and ongoing research. As an astrologer he specializes in asteroid astrology. For many astrologers of the old generation, including asteroids in a chart is either not interesting or just an “extra”. This conservative statement proves itself wrong time after time. Asteroids fill in the blind spots, missing links and make it possible to cast incredible detailed charts, providing much more security for a client.
However asteroid astrology is a pioneering business. So in 2016 Adamah started a project to index the significance of asteroids in astrology, resulting in a 671 page volume entitled Asteroïden-Gids (Asteroid-Guide). This guide, complete with extras and updates, described 950 asteroids and is now translated into English and published in seperate volumes, based on the astronomical classification of asteroids.

"Zonder dat ik dit ooit gepland had is in mijn leven een soort missie ontstaan, om systematiek aan te brengen in de blinde vlekken van onze consensus realiteit. Via eerst de kunst en toen filosofie, kwam ik zo al snel terecht bij de magie, mystiek, de astrologie, metafysica en ben ik zeer kritisch gaan kijken naar, behalve onze dagelijkse werkelijkheid, dat vage begrip “spiritualiteit”.
Mijn conclusie is dat spiritualiteit in het westen, vooral een uitwas is van de staatsreligies. De staatsreligies hebben hetzelfde gedaan als de wetenschap en de politiek, namelijk een gekunstelde realiteit over een oerrealiteit geflanst en deze tot enige echte werkelijkheid benoemd. Westerse mainstream spiritualiteit is een transcendent gerichte, dus negatieve en antivitalistische vorm van spiritualiteit, waar ik mij niet in kan vinden. De westerse/verwesterde mens is hierdoor immers ontworteld en vervreemd geraakt van de pure, natuurlijke en ongepolitiseerde oergrond, waaruit we allemaal de wereld binnenfloepen via de vagina’s van onze moeders.
Ik heb meer dan 30 jaar ervaring met astrologie, qi-gong en esoterische systemen, ben ingewijd kabbalist in de Spaans-joodse Toledano Traditie en ingewijd in de oorspronkelijke Europese hekserij. Ik werd in de rituele magie geïntroduceerd door de Brits-Roemeense occultist en alchemist Dr. David Goddard."
