Madimi Dee, composition-invocation

Filmed in Mortlake church, London, on the 22nd of October, 2010. Full Moon in Aries and also a 'Blue Moon'. An invocation to Madimi composed and played by Yuri Leitch.

Dr John Dee is buried in Mortlake church (St. Mary the Virgin, Mortlake High Street) in an unmarked grave. His daughter Madimi (named after the 'angelic-elfin' spirit, Madimi) was christened in this church. Dee's house was opposite the church and Elizabeth I would often visit Dee by barge along the Thames or by horseback. Dee was her trusted friend and he was there at the beginning of her reign and also outlived her. He was very much the Merlin of the Elizabethan Age and Madimi was his most informative contact with the otherworld.

'One figure appears over and over again in these "angelic conversations", a spirit-child, half-angel, half-elfin, first described by Dee as "a Spirituall Creature, like a pretty girl of 7 or 9 yeares of age, attired on her head, with her hair rowled up before, and hanging down very long behind, with a gown of Sey... changeable green and red, and with a train she seemed to play up and down... and seemed to go in and out behind my bokes."
She said her name was Madimi. She appeared for seven years to Kelley and Dee and during this period grew in stature and maturity, having reached womanhood when the seances ended with the departure of Kelley. She claimed to be an "Angelic Intelligencer" and had the gift of speaking in several languages and a remarkably retentive memory.'
