John Dee: The Magician and the Devil in Manchester

IN GOD WE TRUST
Published on Apr 21, 2021
It's the birthday of Dr John Dee, the Elizabethan astrologer, magician, and all-round polymath, born in 1527! I thought I'd dig into the archives for this episode from August 2019 to celebrate.

He tried to contact angels, created the Enochian language and - if rumours are to be believed - had the codename 007 when he worked for Queen Elizabeth I.

We'll look at a particular story about Dr Dee from his time in Manchester in this episode of Fabulous Folklore.
