Dane Rudhyar (March 23, 1895, in Paris – September 13, 1985, in San Francisco), born Daniel Chennevière, was an American author, modernist composer and humanistic astrologer. He was the pioneer of modern transpersonal astrology.
Dane Rudhyar was born in Paris on March 23, 1895. At the age of 12, a severe illness and surgery disabled him, and he turned to music and intellectual development to compensate for his lack of physical agility. He studied at the Sorbonne, University of Paris (graduating at the age of 16), and at the Paris Conservatoire. His early ventures into philosophy and his association with the artistic community in Paris led to his conviction that all existence is cyclical in character. Influenced by Nietzsche as a youth, Rudhyar visioned himself as a "seed man" of new age cultural evolution.

You are chosen, the son of the night
Praised by the eternal flame of the light
By the magic of the unbroken seal
You entered my world, you've seen the unreal
[relwud]
In my dreams i knew you would come
The prophecy, riandrian son
[relwud]
The moonlight shines on us
Your fate is glorious
Dawnrider hear the call
This world shall not fall
[meriad]
I've got the magic, the force of the gods
The spirit was strengthened, true power i've got

Up here in the mountains i feel the storm
The winds tells the message: dawnrider reborn!

The chosen sacred child
