Dee clearly knew much about Edward Kelley’s past and probably thought; "I know this man is a bit of a rogue, but he has been through the mill, so to speak". John Dee did however insist that Kelley concentrate on contact with angels and good spirits only, and never to try and make contact with devils, and the like.

Thus started a relationship that resulted in the creation of a whole new magical system. called today Enochian Magic. Edward Kelley would sit down in front of the crystal and describe what he saw and heard, John Dee would sit nearby and record all the information, sometimes asking questions which Kelley would put to the spirits in the glass.                                                                             

The angels went on to instruct them to make large magical charts and through the medium of the mirror or crystal stone, they would place certain strange letters, into column’s or magical graphs. (Dr John Dee diaries and manuscripts are housed in the Sloane and Harleian collection, in the British Museum, also his magical equipment, and show crystals can be viewed )

One spirit in particular came to dominate the scrying, appearing time and time again, she called herself, Madimi. Dee recorded in his diaries that Madimi; "Was a spiritual creature, like a pretty girl of seven or nine years of age, half angel, half elfin". The spirits started to teach Dee and Kelley their own Angelic language which they called Enochian, moreover they taught them certain calls and invocation’s in Enochian, to be used at the start of a scrying session to open the way to higher levels, Madimi was always there to help popping in and out, (Dee named his own daughter after her).

In 1583 Count Adalbert Laski of Poland visited Elizabeth’s court, were he was warmly received, the Queen asked John Dee if he could entertain The Count and show him their experiments, she would pay his expenses. Laski was so impressed that he persuaded Dee and Kelley with their families to return to Poland with him, and carry on their experiments there.                                                             

John Dee and Edward Kelly caused a great deal of interest in and around the continent with stories of their Angelic conversations and the future prospect of Kelley’s break through in manufacturing lead into gold. Consequently, they had celebrity status and were guests at the dinners tables of the rich and famous.                                                                                                                           

With the invitation to the palace of the King of Poland, things looked rosy for our two heros, until May 6th 1586 when a Papal Nuncio was given to Emperor Rudolph the second, the document accused John Dee and Edward Kelley of sorcery. Sadly the Emperor had no choice but to expel them from Prague.
