John Dee: The Necromancing Navigator of the Elizabethan Age 

Check out Karl's RU-vid Channels: Fact Fiend: www.youtube.com/@FactFiend Wiki Weekends: www.youtube.com/@wikiweekends Untitled Side Channel: www.youtube.com/@untitledsidechannel

John Dee fascinated me since I was a teenager. He really was a real life wizard, but his contributions went beyond that.

We need to keep Mr. Smallwood as host on this channel. I'm used to him already on Biographics and Geographics ❤

Where's the bald dude? Is he ever coming back?

Wake up in the morning feeling like I'm John Dee Grab my black magic book and drew a circle around me

I love John Dee and Kelly, as a Life long Occultist whom Magick is my first love in the Field especially from his Error to the 1800's I love Agrippa, Levi, The Madam, Manly P Hall, are a few more of my favorites.

I like you as a host. When you do your own commentary and add it into the script relax and act like you are talking to one of your good friends that you can say anything to because the charisma and that attitude make it entertaining and keep us coming back for more

Channel 4 TV Series Masters Of Darkness was Awesome, episodes, John Dee, Aleister Crowley, Marquis De Sade, Rasputin. LOVED it! Great Video BTW.

LOVE your work karl! And speaking of the elizabethian age: please do a video on good queen bess🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Love John Dee! I have the Monas hieroglyphica tattooed. A very subtle nod most people mistake for a Unown Pokémon

Every time Karl says "Yes, that's my real name.", I always add the childhood rhyme "Don't wear it out. Can't buy a new one cause they're all sold out." Makes me chuckle.

0:36 _"handsome and well-endowed writers"_ *That's a good friend, right there, helping his buddy out.* 💪🏻💪🏽

Karl. You are certainly growing into these videos as you get more under your belt. Excellent work

You guys are doing an outstanding job on selecting people for these videos. Absolutely fascinating figure.

I would like to see one on the 18th Dynasty in Ancient Egypt it was ancient Egypt's greatest dynasty & included more big names than any other dynasty in Ancient Egypt such as Ahmose I, Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Amenhotep III, Akhenaten, Nefertiti, & Tutankhamun

Dr. John Dee is a fascinating personage. My favorite scary movies are ghost/exorcism movies

I can see a movie forming in my mind. The theives that broke into his house, in a little known part of history they actually killed his dog and the next few days were a fantastic mashup of John Wick and Merlin set in 16th century England.

Karl is doing a great job presenting. Yes, Simon has a different style and delivery. Simon also has 10 other channels.

Yea, the host works, I was losing interest when I heard Simon is gone but I am quickly warming up to the new guy :)

This would make an awesome movie, if they treated all the magic like it was real.

I really hope you stay as host. You are fantastic!

Towards the end of his life he was well liked by his neighbours and often acted as a peacekeeper if anyone argued.

Not the same without Simon

I am a direct descendent of John Dee through my Grandmothers family. Interesting fellow...

Gotta say I enjoyed this one immensely. Whatever style you're going for, Mr. Smallwood, make it akin to this video. Only tangentially knew of Dee. Thank you for rounding out more of his biography.

Great video. John Dee and Edward Kelley were absolutely fascinating figures, not only for their pursuits - occultists are pretty much always interesting to hear about because of how alien their whole deal is compared to modern sensibilities - but also for their insane personal drama. Gonna recommend Iron Maiden's "The Alchemist" here for the sake of relevancy. It's a pretty good song about Dee's life and downfall. I'm sure anyone who's into that kind of thing and watching this video already knows about it, but for those who don't, I thought it might be interesting.

Thank you for uploading this, and great job with the video Karl! A friend of mine wrote a play about Dee and Kelley's con at King Rudolf's court in Prague; I was in it, and I played Francesco Pucci, an Italian humanist scholar who was excommunicated and imprisoned by the Church for his beliefs, who crosses paths with Dee and Kelley in the play---would love to get a video on him as well!

If anyone is looking for a fiction with Dr John dee. I recommend the secrets of the immortal Nicholas flemel by Michael scott

Seriously, please get the marbles out of Karl's mouth, replace him, or get Simon back. Then, please re-record everythging Karly has done. This mumbler does this channel a great disservice.

SO this dude is a Joseph Smith from the friggin 1500's - allegedly... LOL!! I LOVE THIS!!

Your hosting style is perfect! Keep it up! We are in Australia, so Halloween is really new to us… that being said my son loves it! We are skeleton all the way and anything ghost!🎃👻💀

Please do an episode on Emmett Till, the martyr whose blood was the seed that bloomed into the Civil Rights Era.

i prefer Simon doing these videos, shame he left.

KARL! *dance* Nice to see one of my fav hosts on a different channel.

When lonely nights turn bonely.

norman schwarzkopf biography please make video

What happened to Simon!?

Pretender Impostor

007

There is manuscript evidence to John Dee as 007, but it was probably the hand and eyes; rather than the numbers. It seems that the separation of science and religion has kept people from the relationship and living of perceived facts and meaning that brings balance. The variety of myths available will produce experiences particular to those ideas. I would think that John Dee was more likely to be who was taking advantage of Edward Kelly/Talbot; who may have been faking it till it became disturbingly real. It is a motivating set of accounts.

I'm not a native English-speaker but have studied English at uni, and lived in the UK for 10 years (including Scotland!)... I thought I knew a thing or two about British dialects but I found it a bit hard to understand this one (the broad vowels 🙈). Would maybe be good to speak a tiny bit more clearly for a far-reaching RU-vid video? 🙏🏽

Is Simon ever coming back?

Loved this video, John Dee was such an interesting character. Suggestions: Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, Octavia Butler,

John Dee traveling Europe to find patronage: the Elizabethan equivalent of writing research grants.

Robert Eggers should do a movie about him 😎

May I suggest Rob Zombie's , " House of 1000 Corpses for.your consideration? Also, Hellraiset 1+ 2.

I’m liking this video before finishing this solely based on Karl’s Halloween costume! #legend

You need to update this content. Shakespeare (de Vere) knew Dee from 1576 on. Dee devised the elaborate geometric cyptogram on the title page of "Shakespeare Sonnents".

No disrespect to Mr. Smallwood, fantastic host, but is Simon factboy Whistler coming back to present on this channel at any point?

Carl, would you consider shaving your head and growing a beard? I just think it’d be a good look 💁‍♀️

Yeah cause Gods angles would say that, doesn't god like hate sex and only wants it for procreation, so dumb. Like religion always tell us sleeping around is bad but the angles say to do it. Sure.

Good content, however Simon is a much better host and a better storyteller. Nothing against you, but Simon just has that charisma you don't possess...

Has one been done on Michael Scott, " Wizard of the North " ? Sounds like. A similar personage.

I love watching the alien and predator movies during the October season, with a bit of Carrie, The Shining etc mixed in

I'm surprised people other than Simon exist at this point... It was a good one, thank you.

Where's Simon? Did his greed and 10 million channels catch up with him?

I suggested this for halloween about five years ago. You're late.

The author well endowed? How did you discover that, may I enquire ?😂

You are too fast. It’s like you’re rushing through it. I’m not getting time to absorb what you’re saying

He was rector of our village church in Leadenham, Lincolnshire.

I am the direct descendant of Michael my name is Michael Jordan I need help my back is broke please help me

Karl actually looks better in his natural state. More comfortable in the hoodie.

No offense to Mr Smallwood, but it ain't the same without whistleboy

Rasputin was one of the most powerful deatheaters who ever lived!

This was the 1st channel of Simons I ever watched, so sad he seems to be gone for good now.

I wake up every morning feeling like im john dee got my black magic book and drew a circle round me
