Let us stir the Cauldron of Trickster Possibility…

(in the opposite direction, dusting off Ginny’s Dream, will re-mind us tonight in Trickster Council…)

We see Coyote (part of all of us) ladling liberating spirals (Jupiter-Uranus) out of the Cauldron….. 

(My dream…)

Days of week as planetary scheduling
Mondays (Moon) are for brewing the week….
Tuesdays (Mars) are for animating
Wednesday (Mercury)for Communicating
Thursdays (Jupiter) for Stories and Blessing
Friday (Venus) for love, arty Beauty
Saturn day - for dedication
Sun day for replenishing….

*We will have a Tuesday zoom tomorrow on election magic recovery and Thanksgiving prep... more on that in next missive

So Trickster Training Council - Mondays, where we delineate the guiding trickster narrative…
as we shall tonight….

We love our enrolled team,
and welcome anyone 

who would like to jump in

Co-Operators are standing by!

*Convening the Ouiji Board of Directors

Thanksgiving prep….
Metaphoruc agility:

The gloom may be upon us,

so let us cast it off and knit tea cosies with its gossimer filaments..

and

When life gives you demons-make demonade…

The powers of darkness by Manaku

so let’s brew, stir and imbue our demonade…..

with Liberated Liberating Trickster spice….

Calling all new and long-time trickster training alum – to bring forth all

that be encouraging….

Mercury stationing retrograde as we convene
9:42 pm et
6:42 pm pt
at 22+ Sagitarius –
“The crown and torch of the statue of liberty – the necessity to protect democracy from tyranny…”

Direct on Full Moon of December 15th….3:56 pm et
Full Moon be 4:02 am et at 23+ Sag/Gemini

with the heartening metaphors of Sun: “Bluebird of happiness, perched on the gate of little cottage”
and the Moon : “Children skating across a frozen pond..agility..having some slick moves..skating over trouble….coolness and good spirits..”

There be some pluck to add to our brew…

Mercury be out of its shadow, back to protecting democracy on January 3rd-when new congress be sworn in –
or will it?

This remains deft dark humor….

“Shower Cap: “I found the season finale of American Democracy particularly unsatisfying, and the trailers for this next season look awful. So many of my least favorite characters returning in prominent roles. Not excited for this ‘vengeful narcissist can prosecute anybody he wants’ plot line and I don’t care for the elevation of this ‘Elon’ character because how many idiot racist billionaires do you really need in one show?”

We underestimated the malevolent machinations, conniving chicanery of the Inquisition, cause tis such a grotesque buffoon cartoon….
calling it “Black Magic”, or “Dark Magic” is problematic… we love the Dark etc…

Perhaps Dementor void Magic…because regardless of one’s critique of JK Rowling, her imaginative contribution remains… The Dementors, suck all hope and joy from one’s soul….(welcoming suggestions as to what we shall name it..)

to fend off soul-sucking tyranny… Think of something that gives joy, leaping through a wave… Martin Prechtel says “think of the divine as a puppy licking your chin – encouraging – jump up and live!”

Like the Balinese demoness Dhayu Dhatu, presiding over the large and small grr’s, “from planes falling out of sky to stuck drawers” – that cause one to lose pluck…

So defiant pluck be our response….

Altruism is self-interest

Defiant altruism be our sacrament….

best brewed in team…..

warnings and liberating eloquence abounding….

we shall honor all…

all part of stirring the cauldron in the opposite direction….

Metaphoric messenger mycelia...

Below, excerpted from what I wrote to the "Woof*·Woof*·Wanna*·Play!?!" level of Patreonistas 

re: Eiren Caffal’s splendid book “The Mourner’s Bestiary” (gonna replay that for Thanksgiving show because so full of pluck-restorative demonade)

Radio: episode 1 & episode 2

and let us all invite inspiring allies, ancestral, mythic – against whose dedication we feel our own – etched, defined…. full of stamina….

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

physical metaphor…..

…..the feeling of entering water, especially really cold water, where we contract, Saturn, squosh fear…daunting
 

Then the Saturn discipline of releasing, relaxing against the fear, releasing resistance
to the cold….
 

On the other side of that ack is expansive water frolicking…. Jupiter…. the piscean realms….
 

First Saturn – then Jupiter…
ughhhh then aaahhhhhh

Guiding metaphor for any ack, omg,

 ….election debacle, un furling horror, tighten,
relax…inhale…exhale…

I was once cajoled into the annual swim across Tamales Bay in Point Reyes, by friends saying – 

“it’s not a race…” “o, ok…”
The water is really cold, had been trying it out …and the distance was daunting (2 miles round trip. I swim 1 mile often in pools.)

But remember in Harry Potter, when he has to swim in deep dark cold water to rescue his friends, and Dobby, the house-elf comes through, and hands him some gilly-weed as Harry, pale and scared, enters the water.

At first he is paralyzed by cold and fear…then as he munches on the gilly-weed, he finds his rhythm…(Saturn) swoosh (in Pisces)… and grows gills….

Well, it was like that…
I entered the water, and it was so cold, I thought, end of Hesse’s "Glass Bead Game"…. ( a great novel, at the end of which the protagonist dives into cold water, heart stops and dies… "transcend transcend" are his final thoughts…)

Then maybe 1/2 mile in found rhythm, translated, as with gilly weed, into being with the water… reaching the shore, turning around, on the way back- exultant… getting to the return shore – “yea! let’s do it again…!”

and hot cocoa is good…

all these are guiding metaphors….

Eiren and I had a moment of spontaneous bonding via Terry Pratchett, when I brought up Tiffany Achen, his young girl witch. She is helping the old patriarch to die, taking away his pain… 

"The first thing she learned in witchcraft was to let the pain flow through you – not into you. The center of the see-saw is neither up nor down, yet up-ness and down-ness flow through it."

Metaphoric choreography with which to animate in liberating fashion….

 Neptune, GDS-NSSDC NASA Voyager

Neptune stations direct Dec. 7th…
Reality hits illusion rip-tide

Mars retrogrades Dec 6th….at 6+ Leo
“the constellations of the night sky glow blazingly in the desert – the of unfolding primal wonder…”

Direct Feb 25th at 17+ Cancer…
One jolly thought to animate is when Mars be retrograde – the aggressor always loses…

Mercury retrograde Nov 25th 9:42 pm et
6:42 pm pt
at 22 Sag “crown and torch of Statue of Liberty- necessity to defend democracy from tyranny…”
to Dec 15th Full Moon

out of its shadow Jan 3rd… (and democracy degree) hmmmm

Sun sesquiquadrate Chiron – 

mentors showing up to warn us…

Some invited to Thanksgiving dinner : “a better attitude”, “sane reverence” – and then those that embodied (or disembodied) qualities that we would like to embrace: 

Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, James Hillman, 

Emma Goldman, Rachel Carson, Ansel Adams, 

Jacque Cousteau, Loren Eisley, Ruben Snake, 

John Muir, childhood dogs, and cats, Mirabai and Kabir, Rumi and Hafez,
Julia Child cooking in the Kitchen, 

with Ernie Kovaks, and Groucho Marx, Paul Robeson, Dorothy Parker, Idries Shah, Marsilio Ficino, 

Maxfield Parrish, Gertrude Bell, Freya Stark, 

Bob Marley, Terry Pratchett, Mark Twain, 

Jonathon Swift, Robert Anton Wilson, Philip K Dick, George Washington Carver…..

And it’s an on-going party in which all our qualities are invited to mingle with the guests, enjoy the buffet,
we will be feeding our hungry ghost waifish qualities of befoiblement, that they may be nourished and unfurl into what they always wanted to be, and happily mingle with the guests, feeling unintimidated, but welcomed by greatness…

feeling free to ask for their qualities of prolific intrepitude, liberating satiric tongue, mad liberating wit, compassion with sizzle and spice, steady dedication…

All this just to prime the pump…
