Happy Birthday to magician #JohnDee! 🎂#EdwardKelley, his companion in these pictures was, it seems, once a prisoner at #lancastercastle and had parts of his ears cut off a punishment for forgery! #magic #witchcraft #necromancy #WaltonleDale #lancashire #lancaster #darkhistory
John Dee - occultist, mathematician, astronomer, astrologer and Queen Elizabeth's very own magician - was born today in 1527. These eerie images (c.1825/ 1790) show Dee and Edward Kelly under a gothic moon communing with a spirit in a cemetery by night. As you do. #otd #onthisday
