{"id":1377294,"name":"John Dee Collection","title":"John Dee Collection","description":"Esoteric symbols, alchemy and angelic magic from the Elizabethan philosopher John Dee.","seoDescription":"John Dee was one of the most remarkable figures of Elizabethan England: mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, alchemist, philosopher and adviser to Queen Elizabeth I. His work ranged from navigation and mathematics to the hidden structures of nature, the symbolism of the heavens and attempts to communicate with angels.\nAt the heart of Dee\u2019s symbolic world is the Monas Hieroglyphica, published in Antwerp in 1564. Its enigmatic central glyph combines the Sun, Moon, elements and zodiac into a single emblem, which Dee explored through a sequence of twenty-four theorems. His diagrams bring together astronomy, alchemy, geometry and number, presenting the Monad as a key to the underlying order of the cosmos.\nLater in his life, Dee\u2019s experiments with the medium Edward Kelley produced an extraordinary body of angelic or \u201cEnochian\u201d material. Among its most striking images is the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, or Seal of God, an elaborate geometrical figure inscribed with divine and angelic names and used during their spiritual workings.\nThis collection draws on some of the most distinctive imagery associated with Dee, from the symbols and diagrams of the Monas Hieroglyphica to the intricate geometry of the Seal of God, bringing together some of the strangest and most compelling designs of the English Renaissance.","meta":{"title":"John Dee Alchemy and Occult Symbols Collection","description":"Explore John Dee\u2019s world of alchemy, esoteric symbols and angelic magic, from the Monas Hieroglyphica to the mysterious Sigillum Dei Aemeth.","image":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/smpzqtzzckadphdivlfdpioyvkrnu74c9hmwa14hwoo1ygsd.jpeg.jpg?w=1110&h=auto"},"banner":{"id":289207172,"thumbnails":{"full":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/9r7pw0canwqmxcos02d6gnfmcd3aeocl8gdyditwvxiy5hka.jpeg?z=1.1&fx=0.48888468307465&fy=0.45749169871003","870":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/9r7pw0canwqmxcos02d6gnfmcd3aeocl8gdyditwvxiy5hka.jpeg.jpg?w=1110&h=301&z=1.1&fx=0.48888468307465&fy=0.45749169871003"}},"urlName":"john-dee-collection","isAllProducts":false,"labels":[],"bannerImage":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/9r7pw0canwqmxcos02d6gnfmcd3aeocl8gdyditwvxiy5hka.jpeg?w=1110&h=301&z=1.1&fx=0.48888468307465&fy=0.45749169871003","bannerImageAlt":"John Dee Collection","navigationTags":[{"text":"See also: Occult (MENS)","href":"\/collection\/mens-occult-collection\/","sortOrder":0},{"text":"Occult (WOMENS)","href":"\/collection\/womens-occult-collection\/","sortOrder":1}],"overlay":{"colors":["#000000","#000000"],"opacity":0.15,"direction":"to right","from":"#000000","to":"#000000"}}
