Books, Manuscripts
In the 17th century, William Lilly enthralled a civil war-torn nation with his uncannily accurate forecasts of who would win the key battles and when Charles I would die. With a cast of stargazers, soldiers and scryers; politicians, priests and piss-prophets, this book reveals the enormous extent to which the occult leader Lilly influenced the course of war, politics and freedom of speech in England.
