Jupiter, sextiling Stationing Saturn…

"calling in a new tide of cultural energy…"
wittily on Father’s Day…
opportunity to liberate positive Yang kind woof…

on this New Moon…

Together Jupiter and Saturn say  "whatever dedicated vessel you craft - I will fill it!

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

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

***********************************

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."
 

Join our zoom cahoot on Tuesday-
or not-
but no matter what -

Let’s be moved by the opportunity so generously proffered to us,
to now, draw our vessel, alchemical and craft… 
with our dedications…
before this New Moon,
and place on our altars…

So that:
we weave the Community network of Mutual Aid

Inner dedication, strengthens and calibrates our outward signal - 
"dee-dee-dee-dee”
that we all be danced into place, where we can do the most good, have the most fun,
(with accomplices!) and contribute our gifts to the Flora Fauna Fungi Community,
in a manner of Reciprocal Blessing…

Ashe’!
