The Fall of Dee and Kelly And the Rise of Aleister Cowley: Enochian Magic Explained Part 3

Enochian magic, John Dee, Edward Kelly, and Aleister Crowley — Part 3 of Codega's Codex of Curiosities' Enochian series brings the full story home. Tonight we find out what the angels finally asked for, what it cost everyone who got close to this thing, and how a language pulled from a crystal in the 1500s ended up on a Beatles album cover. This is a solo episode by Rye the Codega. If you haven't heard Parts 1 and 2, start there — tonight is the end of the story. In This Episode:The night a spirit named Madimi, who had appeared for years as an innocent little girl, ordered John Dee and Edward Kelly to swap wives — and what Dee's wife Jane did when she heard itThe three explanations for what really happened: divine test, cold manipulation by Kelly, or the moment a mask finally slipped off something that was never an angelWhy the sessions kept going even after the wife swap — and what finally ended the partnership for goodEdward Kelly's fall: knight of the Emperor one year, one-legged prisoner trying to escape a castle wall the next, dead at 42 in a Bohemian dungeonJohn Dee's return to England and the gut-punch waiting for him — his library of 4,000 books ransacked by his own neighbors, his instruments smashed, his position goneHow Dee's manuscripts went underground for nearly 300 years — buried in a field, hidden in furniture, eventually preserved by collector Elias AshmoleThe Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn: the Victorian secret society that dug up Dee's Enochian system and built it into their initiation degrees, attracting W.B. Yeats, Bram Stoker, and a young man who would call himself the BeastWho Aleister Crowley really was — the fundamentalist mother who called her own son "the Beast," and what happened when he picked that name up and wore it as a crownWhy Crowley's entire religion, Thelema, and its core commandment "Do what thou wilt" maps directly onto the same idea at the heart of Dee's Enochian AethyrsThe throughline: a Thoth tarot card, a Beatles album cover, a Led Zeppelin guitarist who bought Crowley's house on Loch Ness — and why every thread leads back to two men and a crystal in 1583Best Line of the Night:"Every single person who got closest to this thing paid for it. Maybe that tells you the message was true. Or maybe it tells you what obsession does to a human being, with or without angels."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/codega-s-codex-of-curiosities--6244705/support.📬Inquiries: [email protected]📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channe...💻Website: www.codegascodex.com📲Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ccofcuriosities🤳Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/codex.of.curiosities/Support the Show!🛒Codega's Store: https://codegas-bodega-shop.fourthwall.com/🎙Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Codega...📦Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.mx/hz/w...Disclaimer:Neither The Host (Rye Voss) nor the podcast (Codega's Codex of Curiosities) are responsible for the views and opinions of any of the guests.* All claims made by individual guests are at their own discretion and may not reflect on the overall views of Codega's Codex of Curiosities or Rye Voss
