Evangeline Adams
Evangeline Smith Adams (February 8, 1868 at 8:30 am – November 10 or 12, 1932) was a late 19th- / early 20th-century American astrologer, based in New York. She ran a thriving astrological consulting business, gained widespread notability for successfully defending her astrological practice in court, and wrote a number of popular books about astrology, including ''Astrology: Your Place in the Sun'' (1927), ''Astrology: Your Place Among the Stars'' (1930), and her autobiography, ''The Bowl of Heaven'' (1926). While Aleister Crowley ghostwrote her books on astrology, Adams is an acknowledged contributor to Crowley's own astrological text ''The General Practice of Astrology''. She has been described as "America's first astrological superstar".〔David G. Bromley, ''The Future of New Religious Movements'', p.50. Mercer University Press, 1987. ISBN 9780865542389.〕
==Biography==
Adams was born on 8 February 1859 in Jersey City, New Jersey, to a conservative family. Her father died when she was 15 months old. Before Adams began working as an astrologer full-time, she became engaged to a Mr. Lord, who was believed to be her employer. Although she said that she was initially in love with him, she lost any feelings that she had for him and subsequently broke the engagement.
She was the "companion" of Emma Viola Sheridan Fry (educator, journalist, playwright, suffragist)〔Ohles, Frederik, Shirley M. Ohles, and John G. Ramsay. 1997.
