Hello:
I was reading the introductions, and 'mediocracy' indicated a high regard for Dee, so this question is for him and all...

What I have read of Dee (and about him, like Tyson, Petersen and other books) indicate considerable doubts and disccussion on how to resolve some conjectures (should the letters be reversed?, what are the numerical values of letters?, how to use the Logaeth tables, how to use the 30 calls, etc.) His manuscripts indicate preparations for a much higher 'working' or task that Dee was preparing to do (opening some astral gate?) which he never got to complete....

But before we even get there.. has someone been able to replicate Dee's initial successes as scrying (actually talking to a spririt either directly or through a medium). And if so, can't these conjectures or discrepancies be resolved simply by asking them?

I was really interested in Dee, bought several books, down loaded Hay's pdfs, downloaded the original manuscript pages jpegs, as well as Causobon's books etc. and was eventually discouraged. Cant we talk to Uriel directly?

Has it ever been done since? I would be extremely interested in any actual conversation with an astral entity any one may have had..

Thanks,

Traveller.
