Ron, denizen of Yosemite, one of the world’s great rock-climbers, has transformed the “sport” into an Aikido of Intimacy, restoring our Connection to VALIS (Philip K Dick’s word: Vast active living intelligence system), mentoring all, with an especial dedication to incarcerated youth. That we all may align with the Trickster Magic of Democratic Animism, declaring our willingness to re-join the choreography of creation. The Dance of Interdependence at this time of Dire Beauty. Beauty and Cruelty – neck & neck- We’re betting on Beauty.
“When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us. Our real life comes to the surface and its light awakens the concealed beauty in things. When we walk on the earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us. The rushed heart and arrogant mind lack the gentleness and patience to enter that embrace.”
― John O’Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace
Yo Patreonista allies,
so in retrospect (*the always useful – “what I wish I’d said..”- life-segment )
would have wanted to guide Ron back to Fires, and how shall we prepare…and from his past teachings…the right amount of alert-reverie…in the grip of the rock, 100’s of feet up..
or
evacuating…
and a squosh more sensual tangibility to his desire for actual bio-mimicry school etc…
Sun sesquiquadrate Neptune,
I felt meandering and spacey….
fair enough for all beings…
but fundamentally up-beat, and inspired by the generosity of the chart (Sun trine Jupiter)
Jupiter quintile Pluto, we are gathering “what gets us through”
whether we know it or not…
Onward!
****************
I Ching,
I love to spiral forth out my heartening coin toss
to all for whom there be resonance…
34. Great Invigorating
Strength
Time to Come out of Retreat (yea!)
The retreat is over and great strength takes the field.
Great Invigorating strength describes our situation, in terms of strength, drive, and invigorating power.
The way to deal with it is to focus your strength through a central creative idea….
9 in 2nd- The way is open…a time of abundance unfurling. “Don’t be afraid to act alone. We are coupled to a creative force!”
(and – so “don’t be mean,” it tags on…)
Very Lammas

and next week’s radio guest…
who writes:
“Lugh the magician who frees the land from the corrupting gaze of the tyrant Balor.
An old name for the season between now and Samhain — Brón Trogain.
Brón Trogain means “sorrow of the land.” Why does the land grieve? Ask her.
Brón Trogain also means “birth pains of the earth” It may seem paradoxical to speak of birth in a season when things are dying back, but late summer is the season when plants are focused on bringing forth fruit and seed. Most modern Pagans think of Bealtaine as the season of fertility, but more properly speaking, it is attraction and pleasure and flowering and pollination that we experience in spring – it is autumn that the forest and field are fecund. Fecundity and fertility are the maturation of the friskiness of spring. Lughnassadh is the time of fruition but also the time the first seeds are nestled in the soil.
Three questions for the season:
What died that we might live, that we might have this harvest, and how shall we honor it?
What labor of ours will this harvest nourish that will help give life to the world to come?
What seeds shall we plant in the burned over soils that forest and meadow might grow again?”
Will unfurl election chart next week….But it’s humming now…..
The Kansas vote and all as augury …
Ron does have that great 10+ Leo degree (Uranus) (as does Star Hawk, and Karen Saunders etc)- “Children swinging under the shade of a huge oak tree, the supportive encouragement of all traditions of Nature Magic…”
There’s our biomimiocry altruism suffusing all of our human structures:
education, Justice, economy….
to be teased and animated in perpetuity…
Not so much the plaintive ineffective chant: “what do we want? Justice”
(or the even less effective chant: “No justice – no peace.” to “First Justice- then Peace…” or make up own…
as well as faery tale headlines…)
To honor Mercury having just entered its language crafting incantational realm of Virgo:
“What are we creating? (fill in blank – Justice, Peace etc.) “When are we creating it? ” Now!”
why fool around, when there be magic with which to cahoot?
When?
Now!
