Jon Dee knew life was fleeting. Take the joys, process the sorrows. Live it.

“Take a look at the grown man
His pockets filled with years
Count to nine and pour the wine
Watch them disappear

Spin away from me
Spin and turn
Live and learn

Jubilee”

John Dee spent the 1580s talking to "Angels" through a scrying stone; we spend the 2020s tracking UAP on FLIR cameras. different interface settings for the same non-human intelligence? Have entities changed "skin" to match our current level of superstition?

Searching for Marie, by Cthulhu Brothers from the album Choose What's Real

it's a New Year but we're still Searching for Marie. And indeed that book by #johndee cthulhubrothers.bandcamp.com/track/search...

Also similar to the black obsidian mirrors of the #Aztecs. Later used by #JohnDee.

Dec. 22nd, 1581, my Lord Chanceler’s son, Mister Bromley, and Sir William Herbert came to me. Helen Cole was paid her wages and reckoning until this Christmas, and so discharged my service, being newly recovered of her ague. She desired to go to her friends.

Full-spread layout featuring the heading “Chapter 5: Sanction Protocols” on the left, with introductory text about the structures and personnel of The Dee Sanction. On the right is a black-and-white illustration of Doctor John Dee, in Elizabethan attire, holding a book and gesturing toward a small tripod table draped in cloth and topped with his shew stone—an obsidian mirror—in a winged golden frame.

I've still got some packing to get done and then off to sleep for an early start—off to that London and the ExCel to set up for Saturday's Dragonmeet.

In a quiet moment (HA!), I've done a little more work messing around with the break-up/down of the Monad Edition content.

Look into the wormhole, where will you end up?

How Scholars Cracked a Medieval Alchemist’s Secret Code Written in a puzzling Latin cipher, it contains his formula for eternal life.

I can't decide whether a recipe for immortality would be a good or a bad thing right now. In any event, it's a cool sidebar to the legendary feats of Elizabethan alchemist #JohnDee and medically minded son Arthur. Lots of #musecrack here. :D www.atlasobscura.com/articles/med...
