Gamaaea by Xenis Emputae Travelling Band

Recorded Yorkshire, Autumn/Winter 2006-7.

"When this Gamaaea has (by God’s will) been concluded (which word to the Parisians, I have interpreted as [Gr: Tes gamēs aīan], i.e. as the earth of marriage, or as the terrestrial sign of a union performed in the realm of astral influences, the monad can no longer be fed or watered on its native soil, until the fourth, great, and truly metaphysical revolution be completed." - John Dee, Preface to Maximilian II

"The magus can transport many meadows of heaven into a small pebble, which we call ‘Gamaheu’ or ‘Imago’, or ’Character’. For these are containers in which the magus keeps sidereal forces and virtues in a box." - Paracelsus, Astronomia Magna oder die Gantze Philosophia Sagax
