Excellent, informative sourceReview Date: 1997-11-11

Phenomenal in that what it teaches works and works fast!Review Date: 2007-06-02
As other reviewers have noted, the most amazing fact about this book is that you start seeing results from the moment you put its techniques into practice. You will have some degree of success with everything mentioned in the book, from seeing auras to table tipping. There will be points during practice of the excercises when you make a breakthrough, and your hair will literally stand on end.
As one of the most easily accessible texts on psychic abilities I have ever encountered, it is indeed a shame that this text has gone out of print. Having said this, a more widespread reading of the text and practice of the excercises would no doubt make many of the "extraordinary" abilities listed in the book become downright commonplace. The author, and the book, are really that good!

Excellent resourceReview Date: 2003-11-28
I suggest reading the book sequentially (from cover to cover) then going back to the chapters and exercises that appeal to you.
Very easy read. Great exercises and insight to the world we live in, both seen and unseen.

A Great "How To" Book!Review Date: 2008-08-31

Very useful for those interested in angel magic and intellectual historyReview Date: 2007-10-15
Harkness has also made a solid contribution with her research into Dee's sources on angel magic, offering the reader tantalizing glimpses into Dee's marginalia in texts like the dionysian corpus (see her longer PhD dissertation for more juicy text gossip) and other neoplatonic texts, without falling into the trap of blindly following the opinions of past scholars either positive (F. Yates) or negative (K. Thomas).
This book is dense but readable and offers and excellent place to start in the intimidating world of John Dee studies. As a student transitioning from undergrad to graduate work I found it most helpful, and a ready jumping-off point for more. The bibliography is rich but not unwieldy.
If you're interested in the "Dee and Renaissance Talk" angle a good place to go next is Sherman's book on Dee and the Politics of Speaking and Writing. If the "Dee and Renaissance Magic" topic is more to your liking seek out Szonyi's book on Dee's Occultism. For language/theory check out Hakansson's "Seeing the Word." If you just want to know about Dee's place in the history of science read Clulee. To get up to date on the cutting edge of Dee scholarship see Clucas' interdisciplinary volume. For Alchemical information see the recent Dee-centered issue of the Ambix journal.
Google Claire Fanger's excellent review for a more academic point of view than mine.
No bookshelf or library on Dee, or Renaissance Magic in general, could be complete without this book, and will be well-used by those with curiosity and a demand for efficient management of information.

The Seminal Scholarly Treatment of DeeReview Date: 2003-11-25
In essence, Clulee synthesizes Dee's various works into a cohesive whole, arguing that Dee wasn't a scientist on Mondays, a magus on Tuesdays, and so forth. Instead, he views the totality of Dee's work as a developing project.
Clulee's perspective is unabashedly within the history of science, but not in its old-fashioned positivist sense; he was a student of Allen G. Debus at the University of Chicago, and while he grounds his work solidly in the history of science tradition, he does not dismiss material that doesn't quite accord with modern ideas of science. This is, in fact, what makes the book so valuable: scholars like Frances Yates (to take a famous and wonderful example) draw fascinating conclusions, but sometimes stray rather far from texts; Clulee never does this, remaining locked to Dee, yet is able to build up a synthetic picture.
Good recent works on Dee, such as Harkness's book on the angel-conversations, all lean heavily on Clulee. His book is not, thus, the "last word," but it doesn't seem likely that there will be a new survey of Dee to supersede this one.
If you're interested in Dee's work from a scholarly perspective, you need to read this. Without it, you can't make much sense of Harkness, or Hakansson, or whoever. Pity it's so expensive, though -- I can't imagine why.
