Dr. John Dee by Cheiro is a biography of the famous English mathematician, astronomer, and occult philosopher, Dr. John Dee. The book covers Dee's life from his birth in 1527 to his death in 1608, tracing his achievements and struggles as a scholar, advisor to Queen Elizabeth I, and practitioner of alchemy, astrology, and other esoteric arts.Cheiro, a renowned palmist and occultist himself, draws on historical records, Dee's own writings, and his own insights to paint a vivid picture of Dee's character, beliefs, and contributions to science and mysticism. He describes Dee's childhood and education, his travels and encounters with other luminaries of his time, his involvement in politics and espionage, and his eventual downfall and exile.Throughout the book, Cheiro explores Dee's fascination with the spiritual and the supernatural, his efforts to communicate with angels and spirits through ritual magic, and his quest for the philosopher's stone and the elixir of life. He also examines Dee's impact on later occultists and mystics, including the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley.Dr. John Dee by Cheiro is a compelling and informative read for anyone interested in the history of science, the occult, or Renaissance England.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Mysteries and Romances of the World's Greatest Occultists, by Cheiro .
