John Dee. Never quite appearing the same way twice.
Right now, I am focused on his cryptography, his linguistic inventions and conveyances, his alphabet, and his angels. His vast and wondrous system of encoding and obfuscation. To say what is by directly saying what is not. There is much emphasis on ceremony. There is also much emphasis on the “beyond” — the angels. Then there are fine points, such as the proper use of the Enochian language, the Enochian alphabet, and pronunciation. So much to memorize and “get right.”
Very little is devoted to his humor. But a good cryptographer must have a good sense of humor.
Mister Dee knows the value of hiding in plain sight. And that is not to be flippant. Rather by being subversive and occulting, lights shine brighter.
Mister Dee is brilliant.
