Discovered in a hidden compartment of an old chest long after his
death, the secret writings of John Dee, one of the leading
scientists and occultists of Elizabethan England, record in minute
detail his research into the occult. Dee concealed his treatises on
the nature of humankind's contact with angelic realms and languages
throughout his life, and they were nearly lost forever. In his
brief biography of John Dee, Joseph Peterson calls him a "true
Renaissance man, " detailing his work in astronomy, mathematics,
navigation, the arts, astrology, and the occult sciences. He was
even thought to be the model for Shakespeare's Prospero.
All this was preparation for Dee's main achievement: five books,
revealed and transcribed between March 1582 and May 1583, bringing
to light mysteries and truths that scholars and adepts have been
struggling to understand and use ever since. These books detail his
system for communicating with the angels, and reveal that the
angels were interested in and involved with the exploration and
colonization of the New World, and in heralding in a new age or new
world order. While Dee's influence was certainly felt in his
lifetime, his popularity has grown tremendously since. His system
was used and adapted by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and
subsequently by Aleister Crowley.
This new edition of John Dee's Five Books of Mystery is by far
the most accessible and complete published to date. Peterson has
translated Latin terms and added copious footnotes, putting the
instructions and references into context for the modern reader.
