Pre-Council Chart & Themes

“Let us be on the front lines
of dissolving the front lines.” 

“Metaphors are the incarnational garb
by which powers enter the world.”

Woo-hoo… re-membering our dedication to deeply delve,
within our personal and collective psyche 

Dion Fortune-ish: not when will war end, but how.
Will end when originating conditions are re-solved

We explore Cults, cult mind….

Illustration of a Virus binding to a Receptor

 

The tyranny virus has afflicted a considerable number
of our fellow Citizens

Let’s entertain the possibility (and discuss!) that:

Dogma opens the receptors to the Tyranny virus…

“Believe Nothing – Entertain Possibilities!”

As all deep things are being dredged to surface,

within and without…

Swiss tapestry of Wild people dancing in the forest with mythical beasts (c 1450)

Let’s Invite/welcome early memories
of when we realized we were being played,
snookered by some dogma…
when we became “heretics.”
(free-thinkers, cross-pollinating agents)

(I have a few)

Animism is neither a belief, nor a dogma,
but an experimental manner of relating.

Hence our dedication to
Participatory Animism Democratic Animism

NPR Interview:
Founders Claimed A Subversive Right To ‘Nature’s God’

The U.S. was not founded as a Christian nation, says historian
Matthew Stewart. He tells NPR’s Arun Rath about his book 
Nature’s God: The Heretical Origins of the American Republic.

 

We have an exhilarating chart, and choreography,
with which to cahoot…

° November 12th Jupiter-Pluto conjunction (Phoenix’s Song) 4:17 pm est

° November 13th – Mars Station-Direct 7:36 pm est

° November 15th – New Moon 23+ Scorpio 12:07 am est

° November 19th – Mercury emerges from retro shadow /
Gettysburg Address, Biden’s solar return…3:49 pm est

° November 30th – Lunar Eclipse 8+ Gemini 4:30 am est  

° December 14th – electoral college convenes / Solar Eclipse

° December 21st Winter Solstice Saturn-Jupiter conjoin…

° January 5th Georgia run-off

° January 20, 2021, our palindromic Inauguration 1.20.2021!!!

 

 

Encouragements

(not “have to,” but “get to!”):

Myriad forms of reciprocal Blessing:

*cornmeal planetary glyph on threshold- today be Mars! Woof!
(within which I like putting sun flower seeds)

*weaving our intimate reciprocal blessing,
with our tree, rock, where we placed our ballot…
where we have, and continue to vote

(and now, I “get to” commune with my Election –
Now Inauguration – Sycamore Tree)

*Judge Dee & The Heavenly Kings
(quirky, King-Fu movie, by no means, everyone’s cup of tea,
yet with fantabulous resolution via liberating Taoism)

Post-Council Themes & Practices

As we de-convened 12+ Cancer was rising…
= the US Sun degree

we are tapped in!

Also, as we were deconvening, 
sane reverent common sense
was suffusing collective mind

The Times Called Officials in Every State: No Evidence of Voter Fraud
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/us/politics/voting-fraud.html

and our word is
Vigil!

Let us keep vigil!

“eve of a religious festival”
(an occasion for devotional watching or observance), 
from Anglo-French and Old French vigile 
“watch, guard; eve of a holy day” 
(12c.), from Latin vigilia “a watch, watchfulness,” 
from vigil “watchful, awake, on the watch, alert,” 
from PIE root *weg- “to be strong, be lively.” 
Meaning “watch kept on a festival eve” in English is from late 14c.; 
general sense of “occasion of keeping awake for some purpose” 


Notes from the Council

Re-membering our Mercury narrative before us
 
Saturn mudra 
Dedication
and then
Jupiter Blessings
 
Music tonight from Black Orpheus 
which reminds us that beauty is stronger than cruelty 
 
To pour cool water on the crossroads, cool everything out 
 
Dion Fortune “when the originating conditions are re-solved”
 
Cult mind … leaving a cult, like leaving a bad relationship, walk away
 
Trickster is present 
(ie Ghouliani press conference at Four Seasons Landscaping)
 
Recognizing polarity, dissolving …  
 
Dogma opens receptors to the Tyranny Virus 
“Believe nothing entertain possibilities” 
 
Re-membering when we became ‘heretics’ 
(Heretics meaning free-thinkers)
 
Let us be the liberating agents of free thinkers for ourselves and the world … and let us have our deeper dedications 
 
Tracking everything back to it’s original liberating impulse 
before it was snookered into polarity 
 
Neptune 
dreams yearning imagination the intelligence of group mind
is overhead of our convening right now
 
early Qabbalists said 
if the divine is everything 
how does it create using nothing outside itself?
and how do we create using nothing outside ourselves? 
our imagination 
we are made in the imagination of the Divine 
(not the image)
 
Metaphors … imagination … flowing 
 
Neptune trine (120 angle)
the Sun at 19+ Scorpio
the “accursed degree of the accursed sign”
the heresy degree ~ no priesthood 
Sabian “a woman draws back a curtain…”
 
The Desirable, what we want to waft into Group Mind is available 
 
All that we’re crafting personally and collectively
well wishing, what is truly best for everybody, come on in 
 
Moon in Virgo 
“Linguistic precision guides the Vision”
witches, wizards, writers 
 
So language craft … “Defund the Police”
what are we creating, Vision first, later comes the how 
 
Mercury was at 11 Scorpio 
and then retrograde backed to 25 Libra
went direct on Election Day
will return to 11 Scorpio on Nov 19th 
 
On the Winter Solstice
Saturn and Jupiter come together
We’re electing a Story
Community Mutual Aid 
 
America is headed for it’s Pluto Return
more collapse 
 
Gettysburg Address Neptune 18 Pisces 
right now humming in resonance 
 
Language Crafting, Ritual Magic is the antidote to annoyance 
(especially for those of us with Moon in Virgo) 
 
Inuit poem blessing … shared by Deborah Felmeth
 
And I think over again
My small adventures
When with a shore wind I drifted out
In my kayak
And I thought I was in danger.
My fears, those I thought so big,
For all the vital things
I had to get and to reach.
 
And yet, there is only
One great thing,
The only thing:
To live to see in huts and on journeys
The great day that dawns,
And the light that fills the world.
 
How to move forward
Trust and Truth
just need availability 
In Trickster We Trust
Trickster as Keeper of Democracy 
 
from McCarty
In this moment, because it is linked to everything, 
you have everything you need (trust, live here) 
 
We’re all composting in Pluto’s Cauldron 
tracking everything back to it’s Liberating Impulse
what did it want to be?
 
see NPR Interview with “Nature’s God” author 
Founding Fathers may have been more animist than christian 
 
Giving us an amplitude of stories
many stories
 
Believe Nothing, Entertain Possibilities
and our Dedication
that nothing we do is Fear based
 
Everything can be Liberating or Imprisoning 
so we’re choosing Liberating
 
even Astrology –
Astrologer to the Medici 
he discouraged the astrologers from prophecy and priesthood
he was more about talismanic magic, things with which to cooperate 
 
Our dedication grants the opportunity for each of us to contribute
 
November 12th 
Jupiter and Pluto conjunction 
about being really prepared, well-wishing 
phoenix 
the song before it’s death//rebirth 
re-minds all of creation of what is really important
beauty, kindness, mutual aid
and then it bursts into flames 
 
Jim Lewis
‘Jupiter / Pluto – incredible for publicity’
Collective storytelling
 
What is your phoenix’s song?
Each has the capacity to spiral forth into group mind
Neptune says, if you don’t know, wonder, wonder…
 
November 13th 
Mars going direct on Fri 13th 
it’s been on a vision quest
what is the positive yang
wizard, protector …
and it’s image when it goes forward
‘Nature Spirits dance in the light of the sunset’
 
Friday the 13th sacred to Venus
Friday (Freya) and 13 (moon cycles)
supposed to make love all day 
 
Mars – Venus
what art shall we dedicate to 
to invite in animation
 
Venus magnetizes, Mars animates
and together they spiral the desirable into the world
 
November 15th New Moon 
23+ Scorpio ‘Giving a sermon on a mount’ 
Woofing to us is tremendous opportunity to spiral practical beauty into the World 
 
November 30th
Lunar Eclipse
we all have a bag of liberating lightning 
‘a quiver filled with arrows’
may they be tipped with compassion with tyranny as its target
 
December 14th
Electoral College Convenes
Solar Eclipse 23+ Sag (Nelson Mandela’s rising sign)
may there be truth and reconciliation 
 
All the way to our Palindromic Inauguration
1202021 ~ 1202021 
 
some outworn habit… what would we like to liberate 
ready for these imprisoning things to be liberated and liberating
 
whatever we came to do 
now would be good!
 
outer planets say, we just want you to gesture 
 
7:38 pm eastern time this Friday, November 13th 
(Mars goes direct)
this would be a good moment to welcome
desirable positive Yang
the wizardry, the capacity to animate the desirable useful
 
what are our dedications and wishes

(audio technical difficulties)
19:14:09 From Suzanne : Black Orpheus, a beautiful movie.
19:15:29 From Eryn Alloway : Here’s the Map … Password is “Magic” https://getethermap.org/m/participatory-magic-election-council
19:24:04 From Suzanne : I have a similar memory from church, reading the hymn being sung. I was 5. The hymn was going along, “forgive me for my sins” or somesuch, and I clearly recall thinking “What are you talking about?! I am five, I haven’t done anything!”
19:24:10 From ownerMilda Vaivada : 7 years as a Zen monastic.
19:24:31 From Eryn Alloway : Wow wow

19:27:03 From DepotStudios6 : Ha Ha Ha!
19:30:40 From Suzanne : Neptune says green screen, the canvas for all imagination!
19:33:47 From Elana Auerbach : because the police were created to protect white women
19:34:07 From Darcy Scholts : I would have preferred “redefine” the police. “Defund” was a terrible idea to use as a buzzword
19:34:30 From Eryn Alloway : Redefine is good!
19:34:31 From Rachel Heerema (she/her) : “Defund the Police” shifts the center of debate. Demands that the Police depts. show their usefulness to BIPOC communities.
19:34:48 From Delia Carroll : Well, I would say they were created to protect the assets of the white male ruling class. Women were assets.
19:34:49 From Elana Auerbach : we’re working on a specialized care unit here in berkeley as a non sworn unarmed response to noncriminal calls
19:35:11 From Eryn Alloway : Yes or how about what are we building? Instead of what are we taking down
19:35:46 From KO : Now, to find new trainers for police..
19:35:54 From DepotStudios6 : Yes! Eryn.
19:36:15 From Elana Auerbach : how about peacemaking officers instead of police officers?
19:36:38 From Deborah Felmeth : I like that Elana!
19:36:57 From Richard~MOS : Me thinks, it would be good to stop the flow of Military equipment to police departments
19:37:09 From Deborah Felmeth : INsh’allah!
19:37:18 From Susan : amen to that!
19:37:37 From Eryn Alloway : Yes thats great – Agents of Peace – and yes, this is the important localized work, having City Councils say no to militarization of police departments etc
19:38:00 From Delia Carroll : Maybe Biden will create a new cabinet position, the Department of Peace and name Marianne Williamson as its head.
19:38:01 From Richard~MOS : Peace Keepers
19:38:23 From Elana Auerbach : YES! let’s vision that creation of a DEPT OF PEACE!!!
19:38:24 From Eryn Alloway : Yes! There’s some cabinet nominations!
19:38:37 From Deborah Felmeth : You know Marianne brought up a lot of very good points while she held the platform briefly!
19:39:04 From Elana Auerbach : i have marianne for president stickers on my car 🙂
19:39:59 From vj******@************ls.org : hooray for competence — Skookum Biden & Harris
19:39:59 From Susan : The collapse of the economy is the real loss and hardships of real people being kicked to the streets.
19:40:29 From Eryn Alloway : Mmm yes with collapse of existing structures we ‘get to’ have our desirable new structures in place and working so that we don’t go down with the old ship
19:41:20 From DepotStudios6 : The collapse of the economy is the opportunity to build an economy that serves the people not mere profit…just a thought. Mutuality is a big part of it.
19:41:29 From Eryn Alloway : yes!
19:42:00 From KO : Until people start seeing the virus an EVENT, not a “living thing” which it isn’t, and respond to the event it will keep on spreading
19:42:05 From Cathy : Yes exactly. A new economy of entrepreneurs and cultural creatives.
19:43:11 From Kay : can we see McCarty too
19:45:41 From DepotStudios6 : Tears.
19:46:46 From Eryn Alloway : Mm yes me too, beautiful
19:47:15 From Eryn Alloway : Deborah, if it would be fun, you could send me a photo of the poem°blessing and I would share it with all
19:47:22 From Deborah Felmeth :

And I think over again
My small adventures
When with a shore wind I drifted out
In my kayak
And I thought I was in danger.
My fears, those I thought so big,
For all the vital things
I had to get and to reach.
 
And yet, there is only
One great thing,
The only thing:
To live to see in huts and on journeys
The great day that dawns,
And the light that fills the world.

-Inuit poem-

19:53:41 From Deborah Felmeth : Mash’allah !*
19:54:15 From Eryn Alloway : Beautiful
19:54:26 From Eryn Alloway : Each a unique blessing
19:55:12 From DepotStudios6 : It’s a Ho’opono’pono thing I enjoy every winter.
19:55:21 From vj******@************ls.org : The Zapatista vision: ‘A World Where Many Worlds Fit’
19:56:02 From Eryn Alloway : mmmm thank you thank you
19:57:27 From Darcy Scholts : Is it possible that for QAnon the draw is seeing past those group “snookering” society imposed delusions for those who have never had that insight before and that’s so very seductive that their discretion goes kablooie in the process?
19:58:02 From DepotStudios6 : Sounds about right.
19:58:03 From Darcy Scholts : They get drawn in by the “awakening” but don’t have a core sense of things
19:58:13 From Eryn Alloway : Yes exactly – because the whole deal is ‘here’s the clues, you figure it out’ so it feeds into the detective and the desire to be the one who sees the truth
19:58:38 From Rachel Heerema (she/her) : QAnon = the insiders group.
19:58:42 From Cathy : But they don’t see the false prophet —
19:59:31 From Eryn Alloway : exactly
20:00:01 From DepotStudios6 : “Truth is a small stream one steps over; wisdom, a persistent preoccupation.” (21A bus in Minneapolis)
20:00:31 From Eryn Alloway : Fabulous
20:00:53 From Deborah Felmeth : I must leave you all early tonight, sadly, but with this blessing – – repeat repeat Ya salaam, ya salaam, ya salaam, not the absence of conflict but the presence of oneness…. be well my friends
20:01:19 From Rachel Heerema (she/her) : Good night everyone! I have to climb into bed and rest. I’m going to turn off my video and clean up my desk. Enjoy this week.
20:02:07 From Deborah Felmeth : A thousand thanks Caroline, and love, always love
20:03:45 From Elana Auerbach : hummingbird just landed outside my window 🙂
20:04:27 From Suzanne : I found a good planetarium website called theskylive.com. the clearest i’ve found yet for visualizing.

  1. Hello, Magic Council!
    On the topic of our Founders beliefs, I’m going to introduce you to one of the ancestors I was inviting in – my 11th great grandfather, Samuel Gorton of Rhode Island. He and his wife (and kids, of course) came to the Massachusetts Bay in the March of 1636, for one reason – “to enjoy the liberty of our conscience in respect to faith toward God and for no other end” but stayed there only a month or so because his beliefs were heretical to that establishment. He maintained that the immigrants in America deserved the same rights as Englishmen (he was from Lancashire, chapelry of Gorton, England), colonists should purchase their lands from the Indians, favored “an unusual amount of personal liberty” for women- for the times-sponsored one of the first laws for the emancipation of slaves. He advocated laws that would protect individual freedom of worship, which included his recognition of those rights of Quakers. He denied the doctrine of the trinity and saw no necessity for a special class to serve as ministers, etc. Needless to say, he got in a lot of trouble with many of the early colonists (it seems he didn’t try to hide his beliefs!) & so he got kicked out of several settlements before heading, along with Roger Williams, to what was to become Rhode Island. SO – all that to verify, from my genealogy, anyway, that YES! Some of our founding fathers had way more liberal views of “god” than some folks would like to think about!
