The Wytches Brew: Inspirational Turmoil

In my last post, I discussed the on-going global debate whether or not William Shakespeare did in fact write current existing Plays, Sonnets and Poems. In my latest studies, Ive begun to ponder the musical adaptation of William Shakespeare's "The Wytches Brew" by the Underground Pagan artists extraordinaire (Omnia). One of the continuing debates is whether or not, despite whom wrote the Plays, Sonnets and Poems, they were inspired by actual political and scandalous happenings within the royal families of the Era.

For the sake of debate and this blog, I will be focusing on "The Wytches Brew" - A possible connection of inspiration from actual events taking place within the royal families.

During Queen Elizabeth (1st) Era, three key figures existed during the very same period. Queen Elizabeth herself, William Shakespeare and Dr. John Dee (a notable magician, alchemyst and spy - just to name a few among the many traits of Dr John Dee). Another topic from whence a debate also ensues is the Queens love life, which is also suggested in the movie "Anonymous" (Which is a amazing movie by the way).

If one is to put the several pieces together, it makes sense to think that all these can be connected to bring about the inspiration of The Wytches Brew by the band Omnia and the reference in William Shakespeares play "Macbeth". The cross-reference between Macbeth and the debate about the Queens love interests/affairs is quite a strong one at that.

What we understand in todays society, including through the power of Media, (Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned), that we can understand from this reference that a possible failed love interest and/or affair played a part in the reference to The Wytches Brew. If William Shakespeare truly wrote the plays, sonnets and poems, including Macbeth, we can re-introduce the possibility of Dr. John Dee playing a part in this issue. During the time of Queen Elizabeth I era - any form of Magic was widely prohibited thus the possible secrecy of Dr John Dee's existance and/or role in the issue. A possible theory could very well make sense.

Theory #1: The story of Macbeth inspired by a woman (Queen Elizabeth I) scolded by her lover (always sacrificed happiness for safety - as it is known) - thus turning to her best spy (Dr John Dee - magician, alchemist and many other traits), to concoct a spell and/or brew to seek revenge on her lover.

If William Shakespeare truly wrote these plays, this theory can be supported by a possible meeting between Dr John Dee and William Shakespeare. This can also be supported by the theory that Queen Elizabeth not only played a part in the writing of the plays, sonnets and poems but also was interested in the magical arts as well.

In todays society, we see this as outlandish but putting the pieces of the puzzles together it all makes sense at the same time. Considering the laws of the time period and the chastizing by the mundane royal court, including the time of The Inquisition, one can only imagine the fateful atrocities being brought down upon their heads in the event such scandals were made public, if you will.

As mentioned before, it was known that Queen Elizabeth always sacrificed her happiness for the sake of safety. One can only assume and theorize, understandably, why such a woman of her stature could have played a part in the inspirational overtone of historical literature.
