Event Page for DejaVudoo Halloween

Here we go dropping down into the depth of now..
This morning, for me, the dead are so here…in myriad synchronous, deep grieving ways…
Grief is love…
and gratitude to them…
inspiring us to dust off all our rituals of reciprocal blessing between worlds.
(will proffer the New Orleans blessing of, communion with the Dead)
I have resumed the practice of making the glyph of the Day’s Planet, in cornmeal, outside my door…
For us, today, is Mars…the Western Mystey path of desire…
We will pause tonight to reflect on the question, “what do I desire?” Not abstract..For self and world…
But writing down the question now is good priming the pump…
And whatever the answer be, we honor Eliphas Levi, 19th c.Mage: “To know, to dare, to will and to be silent.”
We do not speak our one dedicated desire to anyone, as we practice incarnational actuality…until it has happened…
Let us gather our Mercury/Magician tools of literalized metaphor:
(feel free to be playful in garb if so moved. As always “Autonomy is a sacrament.”)
or just grab a
*broom
and let us assemble our Magician/Mercury’s tools, beside one…
*Wand
*Coin
*Chalice (with some water, or customized beverage, that we will be infusing with supportive deorable qualities.)
*Sword (knife)
Mythic Ballots
View the collected ones here · send in ballots to Eryn to be posted
Our ballots, rudimentary or fully animated though they be…
(May want to sketch/write on ballots – as we convene…)
and remember the essential created ballot is the one we are all going to cast on Full Moon Friday, near our homes, in some place, with whom/which we are in cahoots with its Mind, and that we are weaving strands of reciprocal blessing
Might show to others, or not, upon intuitive whimsy…

Preparing for this Full Moon in Scorpio-Taurus… with Dion Fortune’s guiding words from her fantabulous novel “Moon Magic.”
*We will be moving, a squosh, so encourage pre-council stretching start swivelling hips now….
exorcism….movement dance…
Undulating blessing…
Working with the limitations-freedoms of zoom…
let us compost all inquisitional inhibition… when dancing…can either turn off video, crouch below, or just not mind, and can attain ecstatic self-loss, without giving a fig…
Such a guiding Saturn from ally
Ron Kauk, denizen of Yosemite, one of the world’s great rock climbers…
because he so bodies, earned strategic calm
“Fear, as ally, guides us to calm”
“Gazing at danger guides us to freedom”
https://coyotenetworknews.com/radioshow/inaugurating-the-desirable-guiding-story/
So much support from our astro*guiding mythos…
as a deeper kind of news, underneath the conniption-fit inducing “news…”
(We want many newses: he Jungian News is fun:”Phallic narcicism rose 8 points today in a stunning….”
The Dream News is humming…)
Pluto, our deepest dedicated mission, 22 + Capricorn, exactly trine our Ascendant 22+ Taurus,
direct earth pathway into our body….
For the journey…
Saturn has changed degrees (just now, out of my 12th house, just off Ascendant…I can feel it..
and thanks to all for inadvertent patience)
Now 26+ Capricorn (Michelle Obama’s Sun)- “Climbing a sacred peak…long uphill climb, making winding changes in direction…inward serenity for outward arduous climb.”

Jupiter is “a relay race..” from whom are we receiving the baton, and to whom are we passing the baton/wand?
All questions that guide us to wonder, magnetize call and response…
And Jupiter guides that gratitude and blessing open the communication between worlds…
So, we will be convening and deconvening with our reciprocal blessing practice…
The latter to be imbued by our Council to and fro conversing, re the qualities we most want to spiral into Group Mind…
Now….
and Full Moon…
Jupiter – 12 year cycle , is where it was November 2008…
invites us to prime the pump of our reverie …where were we then, and what qualities of our customized 12 year journey are reporting in for duty now…
Fatima the Spinner and the Tent…
Jupiter also adds to our Hall of Philosophy
* our subterranean Pub of the Hurling Coyote,
* our Screen Writer’s hut, as in the metaphysical days of LA, where we can also gather,
and the stories that want us to tell them are gathering now… Cultivating Story Craft…
5 Act Structure.
(right) After our convening, both Venus and Mercury enter Libra, Venus by the front door, Mercury backing in through the back-door..
Remember Marie Laveau, when wanting to stir up reality…would open the back door, and sweep out…
Then open the front door and welcome in…
Welcoming Words:
Deliberate, Reciprocal Blessing = Skookum
to which we will add (feel free to nominate)
and animate as much of this generous chart as we feel to…
The Capricorn team in collaborative Harmony with the Waxing Moon of Peaceful Vision, and Neptune,
all practices that have moved humans to participatory kinship are here now…
eager to be brought alive in tricksterized fashion…
And in our on-going collaborative cahoot…
and inviting in a spirit of collegial to and fro, between us, and us and invisible
Follow up Themes & Practices
Offering of psilocybe to election magic tree
And look, it grew a perfect spiral arm, like the Octopus Teacher.
And I offered the mushrooms to Sycamore, that the Group Soul if the Nation be suffused with “Curiosity, Confidence & Kindness. Qualities of leadership.”
And tree said, noticing the perfect round cap, I was offering with stems “let’s you and I split that?!” Ok! “ “wheel & deal” be tender, witty play. Respectful dance.


Jupiterian Reciprocal Blessing
Sending blessings to all creatures and receiving all blessings
to east, west, south, north, above, below
And if it’s the slightest bit of effort it’s not it…
Life is intrinsically a dance of reciprocal blessing, to and fro…
Blessing beauty poker
I see your blessing – and raise you one… (more beautiful, more deep, more potent)
Deborah and I are brewing more Halloween blessings for our audio gig, feel free to contribute… (email or comment on this page)
Which brings us to next week’s exciting adventure…
definite conversing with Mercury….stationing… woo-hoooo…
I have seen such effectiveness as we aspire to, in actual political circumstance, when Mercury absolutely unravelled the fix, and let authenticity be spoken
And next week – yes the chart of Social Security (New Deal)
Mars at 9+ Scorpio, Venus at 22+ Virgo, America’s Neptune,
its guiding vision… into Green New Deal, its energy,
what it may want to be called by Mercury…
our own name for this incarnational Vision…
and what we nominate to spiral forth into Group Mind
and Our Animistic Legislative Conjuring
and we’ll get to “shambles”and Five Act Structure of Story-Telling
****************************
Everything we’ve ever done is humming now
Cornmeal glyphs of the planets
On the doorstep or in a sacred place … Dedication
“Mars Day… Blessing upon Mars… Woofiness”
& Today (Wednesday) Mercury! (with Sun flower seeds as gift)
Blessing for the beloved dead
(New Orleans Morning Ritual – )
With your cup of drink in the morning before your first sip…
Make a circle in the air, then a cross, and toss the cup through it
For the beloved dead (and you see who’s there) & and pour a bit of libation
For all those names are lost in the mists of time & pour libation
For all those whose bones lie beneath and upon this earth & pour libation
And then you hold the cup up and go,
We, the living, salute you! And you take your first drink.
When the Sun reaches 15* Scorpio it is True Halloween, on November 6th/7th
Halloween is one of the four gates of power / cross quarter holy days
Celebrated as much as the Solstices and Equinoxes, exact mid-season
(Candlemas mid-winter, May Day mid-spring, Lammas mid-summer)
These gates of power are when the intelligence of that season is especially eager to collaborate

Notes
Vivien Le Fay Morgan (from Dion Fortune’s The Sea Priestess)
I am priestess of Isis in the modern world…
The night of the full moon …sees the full moon shining through the window
Onto the dedicated humbled vase of flowers …
Feeling a downrush of power
“And on the language of the adepts, I was back on my contacts”
Mars .. Our desire
What do you desire?
You don’t tell any body as you craft this deep desire dedication
(Sharing much else but keeping dedication to oneself)
Some things that take time, give us more time
Ritual is not anything that someone tells you to do –
Ritual is any physical thing we do that we imbue with dedicated symbolism
Brooms!
Sweeping away corruption
Kitchen Magic and Map Magic
Cornmeal around dangerous places, honey to sweeten…
Using household items symbolically dedicate
Uranus Trickster Coyote Raven
Has no category of success/fail … Experiment experiment
Honoring Magician (Tarot) ~ Mercury
We invite in power
Taking the stance of the Magician
Right hand raised to above to invite in power
And left hand down to the blooming flowers – incarnation of magic
Dedicated acts of beauty invite power into the world
Saturn Boundaries
With sword .. Knife … Cutting the cords that run from our solar plexus to others
We are cutting all connections to people and seeing them in their own autonomy
Election Chart
We have no air in our election chart
1 fire Mars
5 earth
4 water
So we provide the air
May the winds of democracy sweep away all delusion
Delusion … De ludo – out of the game
And leave everyone Self possessed rather than possessed
Pluto is our mission
What did we come here to do?
Right now it has a creative angle to Neptune so we wonder what we can here to do
This particular degree right now is about the right person and qualities being honored in a culture
Eris – Goddess of Disruption
What we would to be disrupted now?
Disruption can be an ally
All these earth planets are training Venus
Beauty, Craft … Altars, art, painting with words
So that the metaphors can incarnate into actuality
All this earth… Planting in the earth, touching the earth, weaving intimacy
May we all have a quiver of arrows tipped with compassion pointed at cruelty & tyranny
Dissolving all that’s up to no good
Saturn is good at dedication, vows, defining hints … Not good at how, it’s what
Jupiter & Uranus are our booking agents ….
Jupiter says what ever vessel you put on your offer, I will fill it and animate it
Jupiter says there’s a wheel and deal
I will make you wealthy by your definition of wealth … If you define wealth
All skills are coming up and syncretizing
into the unique contribution each one of us has
The unique dedication magnetizes the opportunity
To dance demons into allies
Falling into our dedications silently like an owl falls into flight
Allow ourselves to fall into the momentum and be carried forward

Deborah, I have a candle lit for your mother, Katherine today. <3
Katherine is my middle name and I'm named after both of my grandmothers whose names were both Katherine. In this season of All Souls. May All Katherines be blessed and remembered and their legacies be powerfully positive.
Big thank you Blessing to Caroline and Deborah for recommending My Octopus Teacher and The Trial of The Chicago 7! So timely in this “time between time” of Samhain.
