Sol-stice  
The Sun has reached its most Northern point... stays there for a few days before journeying South ...
So we all together, slow way down,
step into the Still-Point 
of the storm
to gather our wits,
dedicate our gifts; 
And waft Reciprocal blessings of support, to and from our accomplices, known and unknown.
 

Who are already there, in the still center of the storm, awaiting our arrival.

(Express van to Still Point:)

The Positive Intrigue of Now!

"Take the zircon to Foppa - and tell him we move tonight!" (exhorts Richard Farina)

Calling in Big Mama! Yemaya! Oya! Obatala!

Robert Gonzalves

Our dedicated blessings, 
form our crafty alchemical vessel, in which we also set sail for this Summer Solstice,
and on out into the wild Summer of Dire Beauty

and on that boat be
Green Man! 

(Big Papa, to cahoot with Big Mama)

Sean will further guide us to cahoot with "the Green Man, Dionysus, voices emerging from the Wilderness, and the herbs of mind-Summer."

Our First on-going task: 

re-designing the human cultural interface with Flora Fauna Fungi….

Sun quintile Chiron, 
The lineage of Mentors be attending, 
and backing us up…
Saturn quintiles Uranus -
So our dedication is our freedom!

Together Jupiter and Saturn, exactly sextile (in collaborative creative democractic cahoots) say  
"whatever dedicated vessel you craft - I will fill it!
 

Let's put our vessel of dedicated devotion, on the altar of desirable mystery...

Aspiring to follow the advice I proffer, have been dusting off all my vessels, Tibetan Bowls and what not....
and they all are happy for it....ringing the bowls... putting our manifestoes of dedicated devotion into bowls...
 

"Ring the bell that still can ring -forget your perfect offering
there's a crack, a crack in everything -tis how the light gets through." (Bre'r Cohen)

Ceres Demeter, dwarf planet 29+ Virgo - "emergency call!" - no kidding
forms a Grand trine in earth with Pluto, at the most organizing degree in zodiac 29+ Capricorn,
and Vesta -Uranus , dedicate to the Hearth/Bonfire  of Community well-being - and - we all may proceed...

Moon 29+ Cancer, tapped into that grand trine in earth,
forms a grand trine in water , to irrigate the parched earth...
trine Neptune 27+ Pisces (underlying powers of Nature)
trine our Ascendant 27+ Scorpio (Nature's portal to faery world be open)

Solve et Coagula: 

dissolve and re-imagine
Dissolution is the Secret of the Great Work

So let's dissolve all bamboozling "prison masquerading as freedom" chicanery.
Dissolving cults, as toxic mimic of Community...

Ladling out the true Community of Democratic Animism...

May we all awaken "self-possessed"
rather than merely "possessed."

Old forms dissolving
New Forms not yet in place....
We participate in envisioning,

dissolving old binding spells, personal and collective -

Ladling out our new liberated-liberating vows...
and blessings!

Sean and I are finishing our Plants and Planets Council (of which this Tuesday is a part, but open to all beings,
then that Council will have our last session on June 27th) 

I had invited our council members to send Solstice blessings,
and here be one from most wonderful
Elizabeth M

This last one was very much inspired by the beautiful description that Sean gave of the way Black Cohash brings hope. 
As a form of acknowledgement,  I also included the green fairy wormwood. the fungi allies, lavender and references to other beings that blessed us during these sessions (including the Bengsons  and the Princess Parizade) I wanted to thank also the planets with the plants.  I have a Venus moon conjunction and that is the part of me that I feel blessings flow through so I let that also be part of my inspiration as well. Thank you all so much for the inspiring course. I hope you all feel these blessings blow like a playful wind in your vessels sails
-Elizabeth

**************************************
a gift, for us all to distill working "mojo" - ("mojo"means "soul." )

For the deep dedicated fun of it , have excavated 
 

Michael Ventura's fantabulous essay
"Hear that long snake moan - the Voodoo roots of jazz and rock n roll..."

(We aspire to honoring this proffering)
https://michaelventura.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/HEAR-THAT-LONG-SNAKE-MOAN.pdf 
 

Saturn - now stationing is the God of Cool -
"mojo"- soul, "Boogie" "juke" "jazz" "jism"...... "funky" = "Positive sweat of the ancestors"

"In his remarkable book Flash of the Spirit Thompson writes:
"Like character, coolness ought to be internalized as a governing
principle for a person to merit the high praise, "His heart is cool" (okan e
tutu). In becoming sophisticated, a Yoruba adept learns to differentiate
between forms of spiritual coolness... So heavily charged is this concept
with ideas of beauty and correctness that a fine carnelian bead or a passage
of exciting drumming may be praised as "cool."

Coolness, then, is a part of character... To the degree that we live
generously and discreetly, exhibiting grace under pressure, our appearance
and our acts gradually assume virtual royal power. As we become noble,
fully realizing the spark of creative goodness God endowed us with... we
find the confidence to cope with all kinds of situations. This is ashe. This is
character. This is mystic coolness. All one. Paradise is regained, for Yoruba
art returns the idea of heaven to mankind wherever ancient ideal attitudes
are genuinely manifested."
