Description
The Hieroglyphic Monad by John Dee In 1564, Dr. John Dee wrote The Hieroglyphic Monad, a 13-day meditation on the unity underlying the universe. This work explains the monas, or unity, expressed in a hieroglyph, and its significance in magical practice. Dee referred to it as a "magical parable" based on the Doctrine of Correspondences, a key concept in hermeticism. Through careful study of the glyph, its secrets may be slowly revealed. This book provides a unique insight into the principles of magical practice and the hermetic quest. It is a thought-provoking exploration of the mysteries of the universe and the human experience. This book is a rare and valuable insight into the teachings of Dr. John Dee, a renowned Elizabethan magus.
