THE HEPTARCHIA MYSTICA OF JOHN DEE

<p><span>The Heptarchia Mystica (or the Mystic Sevenfold Dominion)</span></p><p><span>is a complete system of planetary magic delivered to the</span></p><p><span>Elizabethan magus John Dee in 1582 through the crystal</span></p><p><span>scrying of Edward Kelley. It details the angels ruling the</span></p><p><span>planets and the days of the week, describes their functions</span></p><p><span>and how to invoke them. Neglected by the Hermetic Order of</span></p><p><span>the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley, the Heptarchia was</span></p><p><span>eventually published in 1983 after painstaking research by the</span></p><p><span>late Robert Turner, who collated the text from Dee's original</span></p><p><span>manuscripts. A second edition followed in 1986.</span></p><p><span>Unavailable for many years, the early editions are now</span></p><p><span>collectors' items. This new third edition has been carefully</span></p><p><span>revised and updated by Robin E. Cousins. The book is</span></p><p><span>dedicated to the memory of Robert Turner and his wife</span></p><p><span>Patricia Shore Turner and features a Foreword by Anne</span></p><p><span>Turner. Copiously annotated and illustrated throughout, the</span></p><p><span>work is complemented by a selection of essays by the authors</span></p><p><span>on related themes.</span></p>
