Likewise, those new to Enochian are encouraged to speak up with any questions, which I�ll do my best to answer as best I can.

  • Arguing with Angels
    1 The Magus and the Seer A Colloquium of Angels or almost thirty years, a good one-third of a long and productive life, the Elizabethan mathematician, astrologer, alchemist, and Fnatural philosopher John Dee (1527–1608/9) experimented with magic. The goal of these experiments was to make contact with the angels. From around 1580 until his death in the winter of 1608/9 Dee employed at least fi ve different “scryers,” or crystal gazers, to aid him in this pursuit.1 Of these ongoing experiments with various seers, it is the series of sessions with Edward Kelley (1555–1597) that stands out. The relationship between Dee and Kelley, a trained apothecary who had probably been convicted of coining, took place over seven intense years, from 1582 to 1589, vari- ously against the cultural settings of London, Krakow, Prague, and various other Bohemian cities. It was a Europe marked by political intrigue, growing religious confl ict, and strong apocalyptic fervors. Against this background, Kelley introduced Dee to a gallery of angelic beings and heavenly landscapes, ostensibly appearing to him in the crystal, pouring out drops of divine and esoteric secrets to the eager philosopher. Among the wonders were the lost language of Adam, knowledge of the angelic hierarchies, and secrets regarding the imminent apocalypse. In itself, there was nothing new about scrying. Catoptromantic and crystallomantic practices, that is, the use of refl ective surfaces, such as mirrors or crystals to contact spiritual entities, were folk traditions that could easily be traced back to the Middle Ages.2 In Elizabethan England, crystal gazing had become something of an institution, with wandering scryers taking up residence with patrons for shorter periods, to provide their sought-after supernatural services.

  • English Alchemist and Associate of Dr
    2 A Biography of Edward Kelly, the English Alchemist and Associate of Dr. John Dee Michael Wilding The errors, distortions, fabrications, and defamations in existing accountsof the life uf Edward Kelly arc too many for individual refutation. Even the mo st responsible commentators and historians have, upon dealing with Kelly, re- pea ted these unsubstantiated and generally derogatory stories. In this article I have sought to assemble most records of his Life that can be verified from contemporary evidence, focussing for reasons of space on the documentary de- tails of everyday life, rather than on the vuluminou:; dialogues with spirits that he undertook for Dee. Edward Kelly was born at Worcester on August l, 1555, at 4 P.M. His surname is sometimes spelled Kelley (it is standardized toKdly thoughout this article), and he also went under the name of Edward Talbot. John Dee recorded Kelly's date of birth in the horoscope he drew up llf his nativity,1 and in the margins of the almanac he used as a diary: Kelly natus hora quana a meridie ut annotatum reliquit pater cjus."! At some point Dcc gave Kelly a copy of an octavo bible printedby Robert Stephens in 1555. It is the only book that Dec records giving to Kelly The coincidence of its publication ·date and Kclly's birth date surely lay behindthe gift, whatever other hope for moral guidance may have been implied. 3 Parishrecords show that Edward Kelly, son of PatrickKdly, was christened on August 2, 1555, at St. Swithin's church, Worcester. He had a sister Elizabeth bom in 1558, and a brother Thomas.

  • The Alchemical Patronage of Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington The Alchemical Patronage of Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley James Stuart Campbell A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington 2009 ii Image 1: Attr. Hans Eworth, ‗William Cecil, Lord Burghley‘, c.1565 Source: Pauline Croft (ed.), Patronage, Culture and Power, New Haven, 2002, p. xxvii. iii Abstract This thesis examines the alchemical patronage of Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley (1520– 1598), Principal Secretary and later Lord Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I. Through an examination of Cecil‘s surviving papers, along with other primary manuscript and printed works, it places Cecil‘s patronage of alchemy within the context of both his previous examined patronage and the intellectual context of sixteenth century England. This thesis analyses why Cecil, a key member of government for over fifty years and Elizabeth‘s most trusted councillor, believed in the legitimacy of alchemical solutions to both national and personal problems. To explain Cecil‘s trust in alchemy, the thesis focuses first on his understanding of nature. It argues that a belief in alchemical transmutation was an essential consequence of an education that emphasised an Aristotelian understanding of the universe. Cecil was therefore receptive of demonstrations of theoretical as well as practical alchemical knowledge. Through an assessment of Cecil‘s neglected medical patronage, the thesis also argues that he was amongst the first in England to utilise new alchemically based medical treatments.
