On July 13th in 2024 Donald J Trump was shot. He lost part of an ear, and then grew it back overnight. Why is this important? Well, John Dee was born on July 13th in 1527, and because he worn a skull cap, historian thought he had had his ears cropped for punishment. After more research, it was found that it wasn't Dee who had his ears cropped, but his assistant, the alchemist Edward Kelley who always wore a skullcap. So, an important fact for July 13th is that neither President Trump or John Dee had their ears cropped. Here's more on John Dee while we're on the subject.
On July 13th 1527, the noted magician & astronomer, who studied
at Cambridge, John Dee, was born. He was a brilliant man
who was accredited for being a Mathematician, Astronomer, Astrologer,
Imperialist, Occult Philosopher, Diviner and so much more. John Dee lived
his life somewhere between Science and the world of Magic.
He
served the court of, Queen Elizabeth I, as a consultant, and used his
position to create the largest personal library in all the world.
John Dee spent his entire life studying the Occult and Magic. While
many tried to murder him for being of the devil, Queen Elizabeth I, made
sure that their wishes of execution never happened. While no one could
burn him alive while the Queen lived, after her death in 1603, John Dee
was instead forced to die as a pauper five years later in his home at
Mortlake, after being shunned by James I, the Queen’s successor. He at
least was able to shut his eyes one final time among the many books and
literary wonders he had spent his entire life collecting.
I've written about John Dee before, he was a man before his time brave enough to look beyond the empty religions of his day.
