John Dee (1527-1609) During the reign of Henry VIII, a man named John Dee appeared. Dee was the son of a minor official at the English court. He was a noted English mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, geographer, and consultant to Queen Elizabeth I. When Elizabeth took the throne in 1558, Dee became her trusted advisor on astrological and scientific matters, choosing Elizabeth's coronation date himself. From the 1550s through the 1570s, he served as an advisor to England's voyages of discovery, providing technical assistance in navigation and ideological backing in the creation of a "British Empire", a term that some people believe he was the first to use. Simultaneously with these efforts, Dee became fascinated with the worlds of magic, astrology, and Hermetic philosophy.

Automatic Writing Automatic writing is the process or production of writing material that devotees claim does not come from the conscious thoughts of the writer but is done in an altered state of consciousness that is sometimes attributed to spirits of the dead. It is believed by some that the spirits literally use the writing utensil in the hands of the sitter to communicate. Much of the time the writer is unaware of what is being written and often even scrawls out text in handwriting that is markedly different than his or her own.

The Village
Luke Watson gave a sigh of satisfaction as he surveyed his little village at the back of the garden . It was pleasingly correct in every detail. Little people paraded in front of stores displaying wares of every kind. Some waited on 1ine for a commuter bus. One patient Lilliputian stood by as his tiny dog contemplated a fire plug. There were lamp posts, phone booths and all the familiar sights of a bustling rural community. The day was warm and balmy and Luke was ecstatic in his enjoyment.
