The Esoteric World
of Spencer Grendahl
Astrologer, Palmist & Occult Scholar — a lifetime devoted to the ancient arts of celestial interpretation, mystical entertainment, and esoteric education.
A Maverick of the Esoteric Arts
"All my life I have had a passion for astrology, tarot, and palmistry. The heavenly stars and planets of the Zodiac are as ancient as the pyramids."
Spencer Grendahl is a maverick in his field — a rare figure who has combined achievements in corporate event entertainment, writing, metaphysical consulting, and lecturing across a career spanning more than four decades. As a former English teacher and published novelist, Spencer brings a scholarly rigor to the esoteric arts that sets him apart from ordinary practitioners.
Trained in astrology by Marion March — author of seven books and one of the great scholarly astrologers of the 20th century — Spencer has published books on topics ranging from palmistry to astrology, lectured at astrological conferences, and brought his insights to wide television and radio audiences across Los Angeles and beyond.
The Triad of Esoteric Knowledge
Spencer applies the Tri-Astral method — a groundbreaking synthesis of astrology and transactional psychology developed in his seminal work — to illuminate character, growth patterns, and destiny. Trained by the celebrated Marion March, his approach is scholarly, precise, and deeply humanistic.
The lines of life, heart and mind reveal a blueprint of the brain's nervous and emotional activity — showing character, fate, and the sites of past trauma. Spencer's pendulum palmistry, introduced in his book The Psychic Palmist, adds a further dimension of bio-energetic insight.
Spencer's tarot readings integrate his deep knowledge of psychology and symbolism with a decades-long intuitive practice. Each card becomes a portal to self-understanding, whether consulted in a private session, a corporate event, or a ceremonial gathering.
From annual planetary cycles to the epochal Yuga Shift and Pluto's entry into Aquarius, Spencer publishes ongoing astrological forecasts that situate current events within the vast grammar of celestial time — blending scholarly precision with accessible, compelling prose.
As "The Great Swami Spencer" in a gold cape, or "Spencer the French Seer" in a dashing beret, he has graced events for NBC, Disney, Universal Studios, IBM, Ford, Merrill Lynch, and dozens more — transforming mystical tradition into unforgettable performance.
A published novelist, scriptwriter, and esoteric author, Spencer has produced works spanning palmistry, astrology, love, and adventure — from the Moroccan escapades of The Mad Dog Press Archives to the celebrated Secrets of Love, collected from a lifetime of client readings.
