THE E�ocmAN EvoCATIO�is based on the magical diaries & work

books of Doctor John Dee, the famous Elizabethan scientist and

magus. These manuscripts document the ceremonies that Dec

Dee felt that only through the practice of magic would he be

able to lean those 'radical truths.' Like Luther, Dee rejected the

necessity of the church as an intermediary to God. But Dec car
