Our good friend Lon Milo DuQuette returns to the show in Podcast 52 to discuss his latest book, “Enochian Vision Magick - An Introduction and Practical Guide to the Magick of Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley.”

We begin the conversation with an extensive review of Dr. John Dee from a historical perspective including his mathematical skills, astrology, extensive interest in esoteric theory and practices, and his work as a spy.

Dr. John Dee was a true genius and used the accepted technology of the ages to achieve his goals.

Lon then describes Dr. Dee’s meeting medium Edward Kelley. Their subsequent workings form the basis for DuQuette’s book “Enochian Vision Magick.” Lon then helps us understand the extensive attunement process, including the Hyptarchia Mystica and Liber Loagaeth and the Angelic alphabet.

This attunement process resulted finally in the reception of the Enochian system. Lon’s description of the process, in both the book and this recording, make it clear how crucial the entire work was in making the final product so effective.

Lon DuQuette’s “Enochian Vision Magick” is the best book that I have encountered on this subject. I highly recommend it to all those interested in learning more about this amazing system of Angelic magick. The descriptions of the historical process as well as the practical guide for the reader exceeds all expectations.

After a much needed hiatus, we return in espisode 51 with Daniel Tatman and The Bath Mystery’s. I want to take a moment to thank all the listeners for your continued support and patience while awaiting a new episode, especially all those who emailed to inquire and make sure things were alright. In the next few weeks, we’ll have more new episodes featuring Lon Milo Duquette discussing his amazing book, “Enochian Vision Magick,” and a rare interview with Poke Runyon.

—————————————————————————————————–

Daniel Tatman has done some very interesting scholarly research on the history and architecture of Bath, Somerset, UK. We begin our conversation by talking about Dan’s family history and connections to the City of Bath. One area of particular interest is his grandfather’s work in Africa and its implications.

Dan describes the eventful history of the City of Bath, beginning with King Bladud and his pigs stumbling upon the healing waters of the springs. From that point, we discuss the various groups that lived in the area, including Celts and Romans and the cultural fusion that resulted, encompassing philosophy, religion, and commerce. We also talk about the way that the underground streams, veins of metals, and ley lines all converge in Bath.

The historic personages in the story of Bath and its architecture include Alfred the Great, John Wood (the Elder), and George Withers. We review how these men shaped the city and the unique architecture and symbolism they employed.

We discuss George Withers’ verses accompanying the alchemical engravings of Chrispin van Passe, published as “A Collection of Emblemes, Ancient and Moderne” and the influences of this philosophy on architecture.

Daniel does an excellent job of researching and explaining the subjects of history, architecture, and symbolism in the City of Bath. His own personal connections and family history clearly add to his unique perspective. The upcoming book is sure to be a worthwhile addition to your collection and you can pre-order it by contacting Daniel by email.
