Biography

Michael Robert Osborne (born 1969) is an English writer and public speaker known for his work on Christian mysticism, esotericism, and philosophical alchemy.

Osborne holds Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in Theology from the University of Birmingham. His postgraduate work focused on the ecclesiastical structure of the Primitive and Post-Apostolic Church; and the post-Reformation polity of the Anglican Church. He has postgraduate diplomas in Education, Law, and Legal Practice from the Universities of London and De Montfort. He is an Anglo-Catholic, a member of the American Academy of Religion, the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE) and a practising Solicitor in England and Wales.

Writing Career

Osborne has written over a dozen published works on the intersection of Western esotericism with Christian orthodoxy. He has examined the alchemical influences on William Blake; and the theoretical connections between purported haunting and time-slip phenomena. His book Brazen Serpent: Chaos and Order analysed occult codes in the biblical Nehushtan myth and its connection with the 23 enigma.

Osborne is a Societas Rosicrucian in Anglia (SRIA) member and Director of Studies at Pythagoras College. The SRIA has described Osborne's work as part of the movement "showcasing some of the living tradition of Rosicrucianism emerging in London today." In 2018, he won the SRIA's prestigious Companion of Christian Rosenkreutz Prize, which is described in The Square Magazine as an award in recognition of "outstanding research and scholarship rendered to the society."

Osborne participates as a lecturer and guest speaker. He contributes to Watkins' Mind, Body & Spirit Magazine, an internationally recognised publication of various subjects from contemporary spirituality to mysticism.
