I barely knew anything about John Dee before making this episode.
Luckily, I have Wolf, who spent tons of time researching him, reading every book he could find about it, and he is here now joining me in this two-part episode to do his best to educate me on the very surreal life of John Dee.
Previously, we did episodes on Jack Parsons and Aleister Crowley, and I feel like John Dee is the perfect figure to complete this trilogy.
This is the life of John Dee, part one, and you're listening to the Otherworld Patreon.

He was eating a turkey leg.
