Kutna Hora was a

silver mining town,
which began, in
medieval times in
Bohemia. Its
sacred geometry is
embedded in the town’s architecture and
underground labyrinths. Also more than
20 ceramic prehistoric cultures have been
discovered in the area. Two “henges”
circular sanctuaries made of earth and
wood and a thousand years older than
Stonehenge, were recently discovered.
The town developed during the Gothic
period into the second most important city
next to Prague, a royal city endowed with
monuments that symbolized its prosperity
and is now a UNESCO heritage site.
The Church of St Barbara, a jewel of the
late Gothic period, and for an adventure

which was restored in line with the
Baroque taste of the early 18th century,

form part of a well-preserved medieval

little bars and restaurants serving fresh

John Dee, Edward Kelley and William Shakespeare:
Alchemy and espionage at the court of Rudolph II
In his now-famous diary, on December 19,
1586, John Dee writes:
19 Dec. On the 19th day (by the new
calendar), to please Master Edward
Garland (who had been sent as a
messenger from the Emperor of Muscovy
to ask me to come to him, etc) and his
brother Francis, E.K. made a public
demonstration of the philosophers’ stone
in the proportion of one grain (no bigger
than the least grain of sand) to 1 oz and a
1Ž4 of common (mercury) and almost 1
oz of the best gold was produced. When
we had weighed the gold, we divided it
up and gave the crucible to Edward at the
same time.
Who are these “Garland brothers”
who witnessed such a significant
demonstration? Could one of them, Francis
Garland, be the cover name for secret
agent and courier William Shakespeare?
If in fact Dee’s courier was William
Shakespeare, this connection to John Dee
and Edward Kelley and their intersecting
magical and alchemical circles can help
us answer two of the most vexing question
in Shakespearian scholarship: first, why
is it so difficult to find references to the
Bard in his own time? And second, how
and why does the work of someone who
is all but invisible through 1593 become
associated with the plays that for more
than two decades dominate Elizabethan
and Jacobean drama, and become the
most-read and most-performed plays in the
English language?
page 
The Secret Identity of Edward Kelley
While the modern tendency has been to
dismiss Edward Kelley’s gold-making as
a trick to ensnare the gullible, there is no
question that many people alive at the
time thought it was real and said they
witnessed it. As Lyndy Abraham, Charles
Nicoll, and Lauren Kassell have all written
about in more detail, “an incredible
series of attested transmutations remain”
from Kelley’s years on the continent, with
eyewitness accounts ranging from French
alchemist Nicolas Barnaud to Elizabethan
courtier Sir Edward Dyer to Dee’s son (and
Dyer’s godson) Arthur, and once-removed
accounts from many others, including the
Holy Roman Emperor himself. Kelley’s
gold-making apparently so convinced
Sir Edward Dyer, and Dyer’s intelligence
report back to England so convinced
William Cecil, Lord Burghley, that
Burghley later used Dyer as an emissary to
try to get Kelley to come back to England.
But who really was Edward Kelley? He
introduced himself to Dee originally under
the name Talbot, and Dee accepted him
despite the apparent confusion. Kelley’s
crucial role in the angelic workings, and
his reputation as an alchemist, make the
silence on his background and origins
even more significant. By following the
few clues that do exist, we can arrive
at a whole new perspective on the real
“Edward Kelley.”

the court of Rudolph II (Cont’d)

The Apocalyptic Angels of Dr. John Dee

Did the Ophanic angels communicate a
new language of light, one that contained
the DNA matrix of life, to Dee and Kelley
in the 1580s? Was this working designed
to be intelligible only to those with an
understanding of higher mathematical
dimensions? And was it meant to usher
in the apocalyptic unveiling of a new
precessional age? The answers would
appear to be yes, and this insight can be Did such basic Elizabethan theatrical

Michal Juza
Michal studied architecture at the University but, due to his conflicts with the communist
regime, was working as a craft-worker for 9 years. He and his wife Eva (historian of
architecture) became potters in their own business. After the revolution, they owned
a gallery with their pottery products in the Prague Castle from 1997 till 2004. They
extended their activities also to working with people with combined handicaps (working
with “arte-therapy”) In 2002 he made use of his personal audience with H. H. Dalai
Lama and asked him to print his hand in the clay.
This souvenir was devoted to and is preserved in the Prague St. Vitus Cathedral.
Alchemy and craftworking
At present, besides his own work, Michal is engaged in the spirituality of craftwork.
He is guiding his students through the secrets of ergomorphine (a hormone arising
during the handicraft manual work). His presentation is about the interconnectedness of
alchemy, handicraft and the old guild practises of Europe.

through the healing of the breach of the
Catholic and Protestant churches (at war

Thirty Years War) and the recapture of the
pure theology of the ancients.
According to scholars, in his lifetime
Dee amassed the largest library in
England and one of the largest in Europe.
The word incunabulum means cocoon
or cradle and refers to something either
in infancy or in metamorphosis. It is also
referred to as the printed books prior to
1501, and has been extended to mean
any rare and hermetic collection of books.
John Dee used the term incunabula to
refer to his library, which contained

explained in Monas Hieroglyphica.
The Hieroglyphic embodies Dee’s
vision of the unity of the Cosmos and
is a composite of various esoteric and
astrological symbols. Dee wrote a
commentary on it, which serves as a
primer of its mysteries.
Ben Jonson includes a scrying session,
during which the spirits render up the
name of Dee, in his play The Alchemist
(1610).
The Rosicrucian Enlightenment

The term Rosicrucian

(symbol: the Rose
Cross) describes a
secret society of
mystics, allegedly
formed in late
mediaeval Germany,
holding a doctrine “built on esoteric truths
of the ancient past”, which, “concealed
from the average man, provide insight
into nature, the physical universe and the
spiritual realm. “

The temple of the Rose Cross

and the Three Parts of the
Wisdom of the Whole Universe
• Alchemy • Astrology • Theurgy
From The publication of the Fama
Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis (1614)
Theurgy means ‘divine-working’.
The first recorded use of the term is
found in the mid-second century neo-
Platonist work, the Chaldean Oracles.
The source of Western theurgy can
be found in the philosophy of late

Neoplatonists, especially Iamblichus. In
late Neoplatonism, the spiritual Universe
is regarded as a series of emanations
from the One. From the One emanated
the Divine Mind (Nous) and in turn from
the Divine Mind emanated the World
Soul (Psyche). Neoplatonists insisted that
the One is absolutely transcendent and
in the emanations nothing of the higher

which remained unchanged by the lower

Between 1614 and 1620, about 400

The Hermetic Order of the Golden
Dawn (or, more commonly, the Golden

Western Esoteric thinking. It was to

About Alchemy

The fundamental events or qualities/

states of being or becoming in Western
Alchemy are: blackening, whitening,
yellowing and reddening. This
corresponds to the four elements: earth,
air, water, and fire. This also corresponds
to the four qualities: cold, hot, moist, and
dry. Through the process of using mercury,
sulphur, water, and fire, all in a ritualized
fashion, the artifex - the student can
achieve transmutation of the elements;
through dissolution, coagulation,
distillation, condensation, disintegration
and bonding. Alchemy was the forerunner
of chemistry.

About Iamblichus
Iamblichus was the
chief representative of
Syrian Neo-Platonism,
though his influence
spread over much of
the ancient world.
He was the son of a
Iamblichus rich and illustrious family, and he is said
to have been the descendant of several
introduced the priest-kings of Emesa. Among the dying
idea of the soul’s oracles of late antiquity, he was a brilliant
pagan philosopher offering a religious
embodiment and philosophical synthesis, the beauty
in matter, of which echoes down to the present day.
He has influenced all western esoteric

cosmos. of Laodicea, and later went on to study
under Porphyry, a pupil of Plotinus, the
founder of Neo-Platonism. Around 304,
he returned to Syria to found his own
school at Apameia (near Antioch), a city
famous for its Neoplatonic philosophers.
Here he designed a curriculum for
studying Plato and Aristotle, and he
wrote grand commentaries on the two
that survive only in fragments. Still, for
Iamblichus, Pythagoras was the supreme
authority.
Iamblichus introduced the idea of the
soul’s embodiment in matter, believing
matter to be as divine as the rest of
the cosmos. This was the most
fundamental point of departure
between his own ideas and those
of his Neoplatonic predecessors,
who believed that matter was a
deficient concept.

Iamblichus placed
the transcendent
incommunicable
“One”, the monad,
whose first principle
is intellect, nous.
Immediately after the absolute One,
lamblichus introduced a second super
existent “One” to stand between it and
‘the many’ as the producer of intellect, or
soul, psyche. This is the initial dyad. The
whole of Iamblichus’s complex theory
is ruled by a mathematical formalism
of triad, hebdomad, etc., while the first
principle is identified with the monad,
dyad and triad; symbolic meanings being
also assigned to the other numbers. The
theorems of mathematics, he says, apply
absolutely to all things, from things divine
to original matter. But though he subjects
all things to number, he holds elsewhere
that numbers are independent existences,
and occupy a middle place between
the limited and unlimited. Iamblichus
described reality’s first forms as they
bloom from the One in Pythagorean
terms – as Numbers. From the One,
there comes Two. The Two generates the
Many. These Numbers aren’t the familiar
counters used in practical transactions
and measurements, but divine presences.
Their patterns resonate across succeeding
levels, giving rise to the regularities of the
sense-realm.

exactly match what Iamblichus had in
mind, which is more along the lines of
religious ritual. Still, these acts did involve
some of what would today be perceived
as attempts at ‘magic’. Theurgy means
‘divine activity.’ Iamblichus contrasted
theurgy with theology, or ‘divine words’
– talking about the Erotic cosmos isn’t the
same as living it.
Iamblicus’ ideas of theurgy, were
written in famous book “On the Egyptian
Mysteries”. Iamblichus’ analysis was that
the transcendent couldn’t be grasped
with mental contemplation because the
transcendent is supra rational. Theurgy is
a series of rituals and operations aimed at
recovering the transcendent essence by
retracing the divine ‘signatures’ through
the layers of being. This vast unity – the
entire cosmic cascade – is our home.
And, more mysteriously, it is our identity.
Who am I? Iamblichus taught that there
are two valid answers. From the angle of
ordinary awareness, I am a being with a
body and an inner life or soul, sharing
a world of other bodies and souls. I am
an individual, limited in knowledge
and power. And I am mortal. This finite
identity is who I am. But it isn’t all that I
am. From the standpoint of cosmic Eros,
this individual life blends into the life of
daimones, gods, archetypal Numbers, and
the One. My immersion in the universe
“external” influences remind us that from
the Erotic vantage they aren’t “outside”
us at all. Iamblichus, like the shamans
of old, taught that the soul is housed not
just by the physical body, but also by an
invisible and immortal frame. This ‘spirit-
body’ is made of the same stuff as the
stars. The spirit-body can only be sensed
through the imagination -- indeed, it is the
imagination.
“The Greek philosopher Thales said,
“all things are full of gods.” The
universe is stocked with objects that
point to the mystery of the One. Our
souls too harbor such reminders,
in the form of images. Iamblichus’
favorite word for these numinous cues
was synthemata, a Greek term that
literally means “tokens” or “signals.”
Synthemata are witnesses of the gods’
presence. They act as mirrors in which
the soul’s sacred element can view its
own divinity. Iamblichus prescribed
the rites and meditations of pagan
religion as means of guiding the soul’s
attention to the synthemata around
and within it.”
