THE ORACLE OF DR JOHN DEE by John Matthews, art by Wil Kinghan. The figure of the Elizabethan magus John Dee (1527-1609)  was the court astrologer to Elizabeth I and the deviser of the Enochian Alphabet, though which he was able to converse with angels. Alchemy, dreams, mathematics, geography and astrology were central to his occult knowledge, and he often assisted the great explorers of the time with maps and prognostications. Dee straddled the worlds of science and magic just as they were becoming distinguishable. He immersed himself in the worlds of magic, astrology, and Hermetic Philosophy.  This consists of a fold out chart, based on Dee’s Golden Talisman which may still be seen in The British Museum, and includes 30 cards which feature Dee himself and the many powerful; figures from the time and the distant past who both influenced his own work. This is a revised edition of the original deck and includes a new card.
