Thank you for uploading this, and great job with the video Karl! A friend of mine wrote a play about Dee and Kelley's con at King Rudolf's court in Prague; I was in it, and I played Francesco Pucci, an Italian humanist scholar who was excommunicated and imprisoned by the Church for his beliefs, who crosses paths with Dee and Kelley in the play---would love to get a video on him as well!
@pigreat698510 ай бұрын
Great video. John Dee and Edward Kelley were absolutely fascinating figures, not only for their pursuits - occultists are pretty much always interesting to hear about because of how alien their whole deal is compared to modern sensibilities - but also for their insane personal drama. Gonna recommend Iron Maiden's "The Alchemist" here for the sake of relevancy. It's a pretty good song about Dee's life and downfall. I'm sure anyone who's into that kind of thing and watching this video already knows about it, but for those who don't, I thought it might be interesting.

There is manuscript evidence to John Dee as 007, but it was probably the hand and eyes; rather than the numbers. It seems that the separation of science and religion has kept people from the relationship and living of perceived facts and meaning that brings balance. The variety of myths available will produce experiences particular to those ideas. I would think that John Dee was more likely to be who was taking advantage of Edward Kelly/Talbot; who may have been faking it till it became disturbingly real. It is a motivating set of accounts.

Couple points. It might seem he was scholarly from the courses he took in college but most people of his stature took those same type of courses. It was the norm. Also dressing in robes with long pointed sleeves etc was also a style worn by many people. Long beards was also a style. So he wasn't dressed as a sorcerer. He was dressed as a scholar maybe.
