Museum thief spirits away John Dee's crystal ball

Museum thief spirits away old crystal ball
By Adam Fresco



A RARE 16th-century crystal ball that belonged to a maverick consultant to Elizabeth I has been stolen from the Science Museum in London.

A man dressed in a long leather coat smashed a display case on the fifth floor and ran down flights of stairs and out of the museum before he could be caught by security guards.

The crystal ball, thought to be worth £50,000, was used by mediums and for curing disease. It belonged to John Dee, philosopher, mathematician and astrologer, who lived between 1527 and the turn of the 17th century. Dee became an authority on “angel magic” and beliefs that man had the potential for divine power.

The thief also took a statement about the ball’s use by the pharmacist Nicholas Culpeper, written on the reverse of ancient deed manuscripts in the mid-1600s. The theft happened on Thursday afternoon. Detectives are investigating whether the items were stolen to order.

The Temple of Set. Companion to The Church of Satan, this is more of a personal memoir of the Temple 1975-1996 than a history, as the development of the Temple was far more multifaceted, and multiindividual, than that of the Church. This book is currently in writing, and sections of it will be progressively uploaded here as drafted. Eventually the completed book will be here.

No offense to anyone into the Temple of Set, but this guy needs to get over himself.
