John Dee DECODED: Merging Christ & Hermeticism

In this 'spoiler free' #bookrecommendations, I go over primary aspects of John Dee's influential work 'Monas Hieroglyphica', which attempts to represent all knowledge through a single symbolic glyph. The book combines elements of #Platonism, #Kabbalah, #Greekgeometry, #Christianity, and #Hermeticism into an esoteric synthesis. I highlight how Dee's work merges classical Western culture with Christianity, generating art, literature, philosophy, and magical works. His interpretation of #alchemy from an esoteric Christian perspective is explored, as well as his belief in enlightened philosopher-kings leading Christian republics. Additionally, I delve into Dee's interpretation of the 'INRI' inscription, which he saw as representing the rebirth of nature through fire.
