Friday the 13th is lucky!
Friday is Venus’ Day,
13 lunar
months to a year,
so when they coincided,
the pre-grumpy Christian tradition
was to make love all
day, or at least
make art..
Time to cultivate animistic sensuality!
Tis Dark of the Moon Now,
when Mavens gather to determine the course of culture.
(See more at way below, about
now! and what we can do now!
pertinent to all, Mythic News)
Turkey! "A Call to
Lovers!"-
Yo Team,
I am co-cahooting with
Fantabulous Sufic Dance ally, Banafsheh,
contributing the astro*mythic guiding meta-story
to her most alluring dance journey to Turkey, June 8th-14th,
(with a
possible additional trip to Ephesus.)
When you register, make sure to note to Banafsheh, that you are signing up through me...
"Dance of Oneness: Call to Love" 7 Day Dance Retreat Gokcedere, Yalova, Turkey "The only pre-requisite is a desire to
connect your mind, body and spirit through movement."
As it is the Dark of the Moon - now,
so will this journey convene at this phase of the Moon.
Uranus will have entered Taurus, the realm of Gaia herself, quickening, and eager for us to re-join the on-going Choreography of Creation.
And Uranus will be trining Saturn, that we be disciplined wild people, embodying and dancing our desires into being… for ourselves and the world…
We don’t source power, we invite it, by offering a magnetizing template - in this case - our bodies.
Saturn’s image will be “Heavily veiled Hierophant, seized by the Divine, leads a powerful ritual,” why not, tis the container for Uranus’ animistic sensual sizzle, whose image will be, “An electrical storm illumines the skies and forests.”
We be the grounding for the sizzle….
Also, for bonus points, Jupiter and Neptune will be trining: all the metaphors, myths and music that have ever moved humans to Conscious Kinship, are here now! awaiting fresh expression through each of our unique selves…
I have always loved Middle Eastern Dancing, but have been a recidivist, and am now enthused by this journey to spiral back in… and Banafsheh is one of the best, most trust-worthy teachers of Spiritual Dance that I know… Each day I will provide the astro*mytho meta guiding story, that
we may dance it into being, via Banafsheh’s guiding… While being at a great luxury hotel, with hot springs, 20 minutes from the Black Sea beach… with wonderful people…
Let’s imagine the Confluencing of All
Allies…
“Whatever we do for ourselves grants us the spiritual muscle tone, to do such in world.”
*'Tis Dark of Moon (lowest ebb tide of introspection) before the New Moon on April 15th 9:57 pm edt,
(26+ Aries), whose image is “Through Imagination
-Lost Opportunities are Regained.”
Inward to Outward… By writing down that to which we are dedicated, we invoke the outward opportunity.
We are honoring Communities, that we be not merely Hinayana (personal salvation), but Mahayana
(collective Liberation,)
that we toss into the composting Cauldron all past “failures,” “shamings, “oopses”, small and large, personal and collective,
and ladle out the against all odds desirable opportunities...
In the mythic fairy realm, failure and blowing it are all necessary oopsey-daisies, whereby to glean the necessary compassion for self and
others to be a good Saturn, a kind leader, who encourages leadership in others. Failure is the necessary encouragement for creative imagination, and as Dane Rudhyar says, "the development of undaunted faith in the pursuit of one’s ideals.”
*Self-Forgiveness for all befoiblements is currently available for psychic down-load, should we petition for such in our
journals…
I love re-defining “forgive" as to mean, “to give energy for
change.”
*In that spirit, by forgiving ourselves, we can then forgive all those, living and dead, whom we unconsciously hired to make us feel bad, thus liberating ourselves and world of encumbering grievances, and complaints..
Buddha’s Full Moon on April 22nd:
*This is a great thing to do out doors in a place we love, with our backs pressed against a Tree…
Breathing deeply, with every inhale, we receive forgiving energy for change for ourselves, and with every exhale we waft out forgiving energy for change for the world…
*And through the day, let’s notice where we constrict or cringe in dread
(out-sourced Saturn), invite in our collective calm and reassurance….
*Breathe out - “wheweeeeee,” breathe in “aaaahhhh.”
*The Saturn fear banishing, calm cultivating mudra:
"The kindom of heaven is truly at hand."
“Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt - marvelous illusion!-
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.”
(Antonio Machado, translated by Robert Bly)
“It’s possible that while we were dreaming
the hand that casts out stars like seeds
started up the ancient music once more.”
Listen, we can hear it now…..
Bly: "The time for lectures is over. How do we cross over the space between us and another person?”
This is an Aquarian
assignment, so central to the Zodiac, that we are each an inner micro-community, separated by a thin membrane from the whole Big Other…
Bly: “Machado said that if we pay attention exclusively to the inner world - it will dissolve; if we pay attention exclusively to the outer world, it will dissolve. To create art, we have to stitch together both the inner and outer
worlds.”
A stable community is comprised of responsible citizens who have an inner reflective life….
*Let’s Cultivate, visualize, animate our Bodhisattva Coyote Citizen Trickster.
“The purpose of ritual magic is to spiral into Group Mind expanded wisdom and tolerance."
*Let’s Visualize each of us, and all of us:
as agents of Quan Yin, seeing ourselves pouring cool water onto anything hot and reactive.
