Dennis Elwell (astrologer) - Cosmic Loom

Elwell's prime work is Cosmic Loom, a recommended text amongst astrologers.

The text has passed through four editions:

1. hardback (Unwin Hyman, 1987)
2. paperback reprint (HarperCollins/Thorsons, 1988)
3. revised and enlarged paperback (Urania Trust, 2000)
4. paperback (Wessex Astrologer, 2008)

In 1987, Elwell's predictions on a heightened risk to shipping formed part of a publicity campaign for the book. He said that his publisher requested the forecasts to draw attention to astrology.

Press attention followed for the rest of the year:

One journalist wanted to know what else the sage could see, so I said that in the autumn I was worried about disasters on underground transport,...The morning after the terrible Kings Cross fire the regional evening paper, the Express and Star, rang to ask if I recalled the interview I had given them, in which I had cautioned about such a tragedy, and they carried a report to that effect alongside their front-page story.
