Angelical Stone
A stone mirror used for scrying that was owned by Dr. John Dee, astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I.
Dee claimed that this stone was given to him by the angels Raphael and Gabriel. He also claimed that the stone empowered one to see angels in dreams and visions.
This speculum was later passed into the possession of the Earl of Peterborough, thence to Lady Betty Germaine, by whom it was given to the Duke of Argyll, whose son presented it to British author Horace Walpole. The stone was then sold at an auction in 1842 the dispersion of the curiosities of Strawberry Hill to an unknown buyer. It is now lodged in the British Museum.

Dee himself did not actually use the speculum, and admitted that he'd never mastered the ability to scry. Instead he left that to others such as an assistant named Barnabas Saul, who soon lost his power and was replaced by Edward Kelley, who claimed mediumistic and magical abilities and who transmitted the mystical messages to Dee. He claimed that an angel appeared in the crystal and with a wand pointed out numbers and letters in a chart which spelled out messages in a language Dee called Enochian, using twenty-one characters. Surprisingly, this language had a real syntax and grammar, though those aspects are closely related to English.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,

with its own domain name and hosting Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |
