As I came into the world the clock downstairs kept striking, and the irritated doctor asked for it to be stopped. Synchronistically, it announced the arrival of a noisy nuisance! I have settled for 11:44 pm (16 February 1930, Stourbridge, UK)".〕 As a teenager, Elwell taught himself the basics of astrology. At the age of 19, he had an article on reincarnation published in the magazine ''Prediction''. In 1953, he began writing regularly for ''American Astrology'', a popular magazine that acted as a platform for contemporary astrologers. His association with the magazine continued for twenty years.〔Mann, A. T., ''The Future of Astrology'', Unwin Hyman (1988), p.98.〕 Elwell was a professional journalist for most of his life.〔Mann, A. T., ''The Future of Astrology'', Unwin Hyman (1988), p.97. The cover of the Urania Trust edition of his book ''Cosmic Loom'' states "For most of his life he worked as a newspaper man in his own town of Stourbridge, England".〕 At the same time, he explored astrological theory, following diversified interests in science and the works of occultists such as Rudolf Steiner and George Gurdjieff.〔Phillipson, Garry, ''Astrology in the year 2000'' (London: Flare, 2000); and online at 2006.〕 He began lecturing to astrologers in 1963〔Mann, A.
