About this recording
A short biographical sketch of Dr. John Dee (born 1527), the English mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, occultist, and alchemist. “In an age at once superstitiously credulous and superstitiously sceptical, he upheld the great tradition that human nature itself contains the germs of supernormal faculties which, rightly understood and developed, may establish a real communication with the Spiritual World.” (Quote from Dr. John Dee: Elizabethan Mystic and Astrologer)
