Description

John Dee was a visionary figure during the Renaissance, renowned for his deep knowledge of astrology, alchemy, and mathematics.

Jason Louv unravels the complexities of Dee's practices and beliefs, offering insights into how his quest for knowledge transcended mere scientific inquiry. Through an examination of Dee's writings and his interactions with angels, the book reveals the intriguing intersection of magic, science, and spirituality, illuminating the foundations of contemporary occult practices.
