35: John Dee - Angels, Demons and Wife Swapping in the British Empire

It’s unlikely today that if you were to question a scientist about their research that they would cite magic as one of their avenues of study.To one scientific pioneer, magic was just a part of his arsenal of tools for questioning and understanding anything and everything. So much so that he even sought the advice of angels to aid him in his quest to understand how the universe worked, even delving into demonology.As a royal advisor and metaphysicist the world was an unending portal of unexplored possibility, but some things should be left undiscovered, especially when they lead you not only toward the path of spiritual enlightenment but also toward the occult, danger, madness and the very real threat of execution.This time on Macabre London, we uncover the story of John Dee and his associate Edward Kelley.---------------------------------------------------Patreon——————————-If you like the podcast and would like it to continue then please support us on Patreon.
