La Lomita * Brigid Day * True Candlemas * New Moon Monday * Chinese New Year * State of the Union
to us all
La Lomita is the tiny chapel, a beacon of peaceful tranquility, built in 1899 on the Rio Grande border of Mexico, next to the butterfly sanctuary — both under Trumpian threat by the delusional wall…
But they are suing under freedom of religion, spirituality and decency really… Worthy of well-wishing at this time of magic potency. Placing a picture on our Candlemas altars. That tranquility and butterflies may prevail against destruction, walls, cruel
polarity...
Brigid’s Day, and True Candlemas, exact mid-Winter, is called one of the four gates of power, where the Intelligence of the Season is especially eager to be invited into incarnational actuality.
This New Moon on Monday, which is exact mid-season is available for us to animate, tis when Ishtar, Inanna, Persephone (all the mythic animations of creatively dancing with Nature) lights her candle and begins ascending from the Underworld - and we with her.
(and we will be hosting a special Imbolc Trickster Council with Micah Nilsson, see below for more details ... )

Yanomani: one word for dance and ritual…
Last year I cahooted with Banafsheh at this glorious hot springs hotel and Sufi Dance Hall in the village, contributing astro*mytho guiding frame, and councils wafting betwixt really great dance classes - a delight of unfurling - aaah - with fantabulous
music. Glorious good magic.
Fantabulous setting (Hotel was Attaturk’s Summer Palace.) (Many pools, steam room. If we have 40 women - we will have the whole hotel, and can do some of our dancing in the warm pools)

Saint Brigid
From Micah:
"This week marks the ancient Celtic time of Imbolc, the festival marking the midpoint between the winter Solstice and spring Equinox. Catholics celebrate the feast of St. Brigid during this time, which connects back to the more ancient dedication of Imbolc to the goddess Brigid.
Candlemas, too, falls in this week, and as a celebration of the purification of the Virgin Mary; this, too relates to Brigid as the ruler of both purity and fertility."
