Walden was born with his Sun in Capricorn, Virgo Rising and Moon in Pisces on December 30^th, 1943 at 10:13 p.m., in Stockton, California, the only child of Arthur and Julia Welch. His father, who named him after his favorite book "Walden Pond" by Thoreau, gave this unusual, but appropriate name to him. Walden was born clairvoyant. His psychic abilities first manifested at the age of five. He spent his childhood and teenage years living between Stockton, Bakersfield, Los Angeles and San Francisco, California. His biography, In Touch With His Soul, an Interview with an Important American Psychic, by Gina Cerminara, can be read on this website.

Unusually gifted as both Astrologer and clairvoyant, Walden's personal training was tutored under the guidance of several of the most outstanding and recognized metaphysicians of our day. He became the protégé to Astrologers Gavin Arthur of San Francisco and Elinor Melin of Los Angeles. His clairvoyant studies were under the training of Reverends Pearl Shannon, Florence Becker, Jack Dareos and Clara Pregger. At the age of twenty Walden became the youngest licensed certified Psychic Medium in the United States. He has been a member of The Association For Research and Enlightenment since 1962. Walden credits the work and teachings of Edgar Cayce to be his greatest inspiration and influence.
