Dee Day Do - The Dee Gallery by Andy Paciorek

The next event of the Dee Day Do is a look at the art of Andy Paciorek...

The sketches from "Presences" are those of faces he "saw hypnagogically on the edge of sleep at a time he had been reading The Book of Enoch and which he subsequentally associated with the Grigori - The Watchers ~ angels that Kelley and Dee communicated with."

Also included in this collection is a portrait of Dee from The Mirror Obsidian book project and a picture of Necromancers from the Strange Lands book.

The Dee Day Do

Phil Breach

I met him down in Mortlake when the Sun stood still.

It's the Dee Day Do Day!

The Dee Day Do!

And we sang a Song of Summer on the Primrose Hill.

It's the Dee Day Do Day!

The Dee Day Do!

O how the morn was chill!

O he had such a skill!

But I swear that we did no ill.

It's the Dee Day Do Day!

The Dee Day Do!

In Enochian he canted at the Solstice sky.

It's the Dee Day Do Day!

The Dee Day Do!

And I heard the voice of angels as they made reply.

It's the Dee Day Do Day!

The Dee Day Do!

O let me testify!

O how the flames leapt high!

I saw the mighty angels fly.

It's the Dee Day Do Day!

The Dee Day Do!

We sang that Song of Summer with the Wingéd Choir.

It's the Dee Day Do Day!

The Dee Day Do!

And he told me of the founding of a great empire.

It's the Dee Day Do Day!

The Dee Day Do!

O it was his great desire!

O how he did inspire!

That morn at the Solstice fire.

It's the Dee Day Do Day!
