Dr. John DeeDisclaimerThis is NOT a page about Wiccans or neo-pagans, and I do not advocate the belief that Wiccans are Satan-worshippers and/or baby-killers. I am well aware that they are not. This is a starting point for historical research into the great witch craze of 1100-1700 AD. And please, don't ask me for spells. Dr. John DeeEnglish scholar and mathematician. Studied in Europe. Interested in alchemy, astrology, and arcane lore. Involved in imprisonment for casting horoscopes and practicing enchantment against Mary, Queen of England. As a government agent, he was later sent on service to Europe, where he became associated with Edward Kelley, magician, in necromantic acts, including crystalomancy. Author of Liber Mysteriorum--Book of Mysteries. His speculum or mirror, one of his magic properties, is now in the British Museum (Wedeck 200-201).
