Biographical Life Of Edward Kelly

The Biographical Life of Edward Kelly, written by Arthur Edward Waite, is a detailed account of the life of the notorious 16th century English alchemist, magician, and spiritualist, Edward Kelly. The book explores Kelly's early life, his association with John Dee, a famous mathematician, and his subsequent involvement in the occult and esoteric practices of the time. The author delves into Kelly's travels across Europe and his encounters with various rulers and dignitaries, including Emperor Rudolf II, who was known for his interest in alchemy and the occult. The book also sheds light on Kelly's controversial reputation as a charlatan and his eventual downfall, which saw him imprisoned and executed for his involvement in a plot to counterfeit coins. Waite's writing is highly informative and well-researched, drawing on primary sources and historical documents to provide a comprehensive and engaging portrait of one of the most enigmatic figures of the Renaissance period. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of alchemy, magic, and the occult.THIS 64 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Alchemical Writings of Edward Kelly, by Arthur Edward Waite.
