Description
“John Dee 1527-1608” by Charlotte Fell-Smith was the first biography of Dr. Dee ever published. Arguably one of the most rare books written about Dee, Fell-Smith leaves little to the imagination, uncovering many unknown facts about his personal life, magical practices and relationship with Queen Elizabeth I. Written with a historians perceptive eye, Fell-Smith’s research comes to life as a highly engaging work of art, even if you are not familiar with John Dee.
An obsessive collector of books, diviner to the Queen, traveler and more, Dr. Dee’s life was one of constant learning and exploration. His influence on Western Mysticism has not faltered since his own lifetime, and his influence on modern esoteric societies like the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley’s Ordo Templi Orientis – is incalculable.
Who was this man who spoke to angels, and was an open ear for the most powerful woman in England? And, finally, how did such a gifted individual with extraordinarily influential acquaintances, find himself nearly penniless during the latter portion of life? This biography tells all!
