It all began in 1584. It continues today.

Rejoice therein.

From "A True and Faithful Relation", as recorded by Dee & Kelly, May 23, 1587.

"I am the daughter of Fortitude, and ravished every hour, from my youth.

For behold, I am Understanding, and Science dwelleth in me; and the heavens oppress me.

They covet and desire me with infinite appetite; few or none that are earthly have embraced me, for I am shadowed with the Circle of the Stone, and covered with the morning Clouds.

My feet are swifter than the winds, and my hands are sweeter than the morning dew.

My garments are from the beginning, and my dwelling place is in my self.

The Lion knoweth not where I walk, neither do the beasts of the field understand me.

I am deflowered, and yet a virgin; I sanctify, and am not sanctified.
Happy is he that embraceth me: for in the night season I am sweet, and in the day full of pleasure.

My company is a harmony of many Cymbals, and my lips sweeter than health itself.

I am a harlot for such as ravish me, and a virgin with such as know me not: For Lo, I am loved of many, and I am a lover to many; and as many as come unto me as they should do, have entertainment.
Purge your streets, O ye sons of men, and wash your houses clean; make yourselves holy, and put on righteousness.

Cast out your old strumpets, and burn their clothes; abstain from the company of other women that are defiled, that are sluttish, and not so handsome and beautiful as I, and then will I come and dwell amongst you: and behold, I will bring forth children unto you, and they shall be the sons of Comfort.

I will open my garments, and stand naked before you, that your love may be more enflamed toward me.

As yet, I walk in the clouds; as yet, I am carried with the winds, and cannot descend unto you for the multitude of your abominations, and the filthy loathsomeness of your dwelling places."
