me anyways, though it could just be sleep deprivation!
)
Firstly, from the
Enochian Wiki:
"Enochian is a name often applied to an occult or angelic language recorded in the private journals of Dr. John Dee and his seer Edward Kelley in the late 16th century."
From John Dee's Wiki I get 3 different links of interest:
1....He studied with Gemma Frisius...
Gemma? That's a coincidink. A popular name... I guess.
2.Dee was a friend of Tycho Brahe and was familiar with the work of Copernicus.
...Hmm. Doesn't this Tycho character's name sound a little Tachyon-esque?
3.Dee's Speculum or Mirror (an obsidian Aztec cult object in the shape of a hand-mirror, brought to Europe in the late 1520s), which was once owned by Horace Walpole.
Walpole? Is someone messing with names here? That kinda sounds like Warpylol.
So who were these three people mentioned? I went to
their Wikis:
From the Wiki of Gemma Frisius:
While still a student, Frisius set up a workshop to produce globes and mathematical instruments. He became noted for the quality and accuracy of his instruments, which were praised by Tycho Brahe, among others. In 1533, he described for the first time the method of triangulation still used today in surveying.
Triangulation??! And here's Tycho menetioned yet again. So these people all knew each other...
Not much info on the Walpole Wiki: but more general web searching reveals he
was an occultist and led a rather interesting life.
MUCH more interesting though, is the Wiki of Tycho Brahe:
...Tycho Brahe... best known today as an early astronomer, though in his lifetime he was also well known as an astrologer and alchemist.
He is universally referred to as "Tycho" rather than by his surname "Brahe", as was common in Scandinavia.
On November 11, 1572, Tycho observed ... a very bright star which unexpectedly appeared in the constellation Cassiopeia...Since it had been maintained since antiquity that the world beyond the orbit of the moon, i.e. that of the fixed stars, was eternal and unchangeable... other observers held that the phenomenon was something in the Earth's atmosphere. Tycho, however, observed that the parallax of the object did not change from night to night, suggesting that the object was far away.
Ok....am I just going nuts, or is this just a tiny bit spooky??
Can anyone else find more connections? I would keep looking but I need to sleep!
