Pre-Council Chart & Themes

Trickster liberating danger into farce.

as we be tossing the last flailing, yet still dangerous cartoon
Inquisitions…
into 
our Winter Solstice Cauldrons, we set to bubbling this eve…

(I have a good one to bring…
feel encouraged to have cauldron on hand…
or drawing of cauldron.) 

Super- Cool Re-convening-
with The Virgo witches/wizards Moon
(of language-crafting, micro-macro ritual magic)  

at her last degree of Virgo,
trining Saturn at last degree of Capricorn!   (The uber-organized competent degree…
Here we have a tradition of true Mastery,
to support our adorably befoibled,
and increasingly humbled  selves…)

and The Moon quintiles Mercury in Sag,
opening the portals for all the knowledge traditions we all hold…  

The Arabian nights (1900) Illustrations by Soper

*Sun trines Mars,  
at  “Magic Carpet Degree.”

Our Monday Council ally, plant al-qemist, Micah, said,
“Magic Carpets often made with red dye from Syrian Rue…”
an entheogenic plant noted for bestowing the experience of flying…  

Let us all arrive tonight via our customized carpet.  

Cave Competence….  

The Hall of Philosophy,
Pub of Hurling Coyote,
all have been ephemeral shape-shifting pre-imagery  for our  Council Cave  (let’s consecrate tonight) to which our individual caves are connected by passageway…

Theosophie Alchemie

Cave Work:

Let’s incubate “Freedom” in our subterranean womb Council!  

As Dion was exhorting her WWII team to animate
traditional esoteric imagery, Rosy Cross, and more…  

I feel to nominate to our Council, that we animate “Freedom;” 

liberating the spirit residing in that statue, that she may liberate us.. 

We extend the invitation, and feel for the response….

Reciprocal Liberating Blessing….

The Statue of Freedom

https://www.aoc.gov/explore-capitol-campus/art/statue-freedom 

“Statue of Freedom is a classical female figure with long, flowing hair wearing a helmet with a crest composed of an eagle’s head and feathers. She wears a classical dress secured with a brooch inscribed “U.S.” Over it is draped a heavy, flowing, toga-like robe fringed with fur and decorative balls. Her right hand rests upon the hilt of a sheathed sword wrapped in a scarf; in her left hand she holds a laurel wreath of victory and the shield of the United States with 13 stripes.”

The Statue of Freedom’s crested helmet and sword, suggesting she is prepared to protect the nation, are more commonly associated with Minerva or Bellona, Roman goddesses of war. The history of the statue’s design explains why she wears a helmet rather than a liberty cap. The story of her casting reveals that some of the people who worked to create Freedom were not themselves free.”  

Indigenous Wisdom, smuggled into play, awaiting further animation….

“Crawford designed a crested version of a Roman helmet, “the crest of which is composed of an eagle’s head and a bold arrangement of feathers, suggested by the costume of our Indian tribes.” “This third design was approved by Jefferson Davis in April 1856.”

See larger images at the bottom of this page in Resources

Let’s see her, joining with us, to stir the Cauldron…  

Into which we can toss outworn personal and collective things….  

When Dion was convening near the Winter Solstice of 1939,
a part of the meditative work was
“To invoke the purifying Tides of Destruction
upon whatever is obsolete, selfish, and inefficient in our country.”  

Could be fun!  

and   

Let us continue to create an atmosphere of warm welcoming
trickster receptivity to all in our Election Magic Council…  

Let’s invite in the spirit of playful camaraderie…  

(Henceforth, and increasingly, in our council cahoot, 
nominations of beings to animate, play to be had,
are most welcome.)  

So we may bring up charts tonight,
upon pre-thought, and intuitive whim….  

(Let me know if you have bestowed birth data,
and would not like your chart brought up,
as part of our collective dream…  

Similarly- if you would like chart micro honored, let me know..)

Uranus Liberating Trickster says,
we are Big Beings dancing with y’all…

We don’t care what you do, but rather the manner of doing.

That it be a choice from freedom, rather than fear…

Notes from the Council

what it is to have pragmatic magic now?
 
we are convening in our collective customized caves 
 
this is the time when we set our Winter Solstice cauldrons bubbling
and throw into it whatever no longer serves us (and the collective)
 
we’re composting, throwing into the Cauldron
cringing (obedience to the Inquisition)
self-disparagement
outrage
 
The wrathful dakinis the metaphoric intelligence of nature which metabolizes poison (or outrage)
into the tonic of wrath, fierce protection of life
they compost the toxic of seduction
into the tonic of magnetism – bring everything alive! 
 
everything can be imprisoning or liberating 
 
in conversations about where do people outsource their saturn and get into tyrannical structures
we come back to 
“Believe Nothing, Entertain Possibilities”
 
a friend said, anytime you get Demons and Angels, you have polarity, soon you’ll have a priesthood
 
predator – prey relationship … eventually, everyone is smarter
how part of herding cattle is okay for the earth if we keep them moving, to keep the predator part alive
 
so what are things we wish to have moving
 
if we’re tracking things back to ‘when the conditions that give rise to it are addressed’ (Dion Fortune)
tyranny will end when the conditions that gave rise to it are addressed
 
when I heard myself quoting the I-Ching about the Election
(( demons in a jar, darkest of black magic … one eats the others ))
so – who put them in the jar?
 
the 5 act story 
Jupiter, keeper of stories
the essence of the 5 act story is comedy (redemption, not haha)
the 4 act story is tragedy
1-here
2-away
3-oops
4-evil
5-redemption, the wedding, the kiss, the go forth … 
 
so we have the illusion of duality
but we don’t want to feed that polarity 
(strengthen what we oppose)
 
perhaps many of us are having conversations with people we haven’t spoken with in a while
I spoke with my friend Robinette Kennedy, practitioner of trance postures (disguised as a psychologist now)
she is great pragmatic mystic, rural Georgia to Crete
so i asked her, what are you doing?
she says, the most magic things right now are the most practical things
(yes, in accord with the stars)
she said they are sending out postcards with information and handwritten Jupiterian blessings
call anyone you know in Georgia and ask them their plans, Saturn, do they need an ride to the polls
… part of this new, emergent Georgia is an attitude because we have infrastructure 
(Saturn – dedicated to collective good)
 
Saturn and Jupiter coming closer and closer in the SW sky, until Dec 21st – when they will look like one star 
 
Robinette said I am a very realistic person but I have much confidence in happiness emerging from the ordeal
 
December 14th is when the electoral college convenes, and an eclipse
 
we’re diving to the dark of the moon, at the dark of the year, and then the winter solstice 
 
the eclipse is at 23+ sagittarius (bluebird of happiness perched on the gate of a cottage)
it’s the dedication to happiness in turbulent times
joyfully participatory 
 
part of what we’re throwing into the cauldron
the template of despotism 
 
Against all odds, is the odds that Trickster likes!
 
Rahu – so greedy he wanted to eat the moon and ate himself
** Rahu / Katu 
 
Robinette said that in previous years now would be the time she would hold The Death Lodge
Winter Solstice is the time for the Death Lodge, death-rebirth
especially this one!
 
 
The Statue of Freedom
 
Dion Fortune wanted to give her crew symbols to animate 
(they focused on the Rosy Cross, christian symbols)
but who would we like to focus on?
 
The Statue of Freedom is wild in her own way, indigenous symbols smuggled in (feathers, eagle) 
she’s right on top of the Capitol 
DC is full of actual structural metaphors 
that some say are awaiting conscious animation
 
*see The Secret Architecture of our Nation’s Capitol 
 
The Statue of Freedom may be one we would like to feed tonight 
 
 
Looking at the Chart of Now from DC(wish) perspective 
 
Sun trines Mars at the Magic Carpet Degree
plant alchemy ally tells us Syrian Rue was often used to dye carpets
and is an entheogenic plant noted for the feeling of flying
& Deborah reminds us that it’s also the pattern of the rugs that invite us fall into meditative kinship oneness
 
Saturn-Jupiter
what is this choreography of constrict-expand 
 
when we begin to play in these realms micro to macro, it’s good to ask for help
sit in a calm way and see what form of the wise ‘master’ shows up (Dion Fortune)
okay, master, Dion Fortune was fire-air-christian 
but what is our expanded metaphor? 
… to begin to conjure our wise trickster ally 
she said it’s good to do this before sleep, to begin this conversation 
it’s really a good idea even in very micro ways
 
The Moon was at 28 Virgo and now is at 29 
trining Mercury at 29 + Capricorn
which is the most organized, competent, skookum degree
 
wherever we could be humbled we are being humbled now
…inviting in calm response to crisis
 
I bring in my friend’s Cuban Santera Grandmother 
who was making tea and cookies 
and outside a tornado was forming
and, not missing a beat, she picked up some scissors (snip, snip, snip)
and the tornado dissolved
we don’t presume that level of mastery, but to inspire 
 
 
Animating Statue of Freedom
imagining her glowing, drawing her, putting her on our altar
…
she had a long arduous journey, and was not put on the Capitol until after the Civil War
 
to find a time that feels right … at a certain time before next Tuesday 
 
so how do we do this?
we invite her to express herself 
 
and by changing our language, the very questions we ask can we turned into invitations
from “how do we liberate Freedom from the toxic con” 
to “Let us liberate Freedom from the toxic con”
 
so what is the antidote to the toxic imprisoning con?
the liberating authentic!
so our assignment is to invite in the liberating authentic
 
and part of the Winter Solstice is for trickster to come into everyone’s heart, not just one persons
 
Dedicated to Bubbly Excitement in it’s infinite effervescent manifestations!
(quote from Fermentation book Richard Badger is reading – Sandro Katz’ Fermentation as Metaphor) 
 
in the cold Saturn dark, we want to balance it with the Jupiter well wishing,
and the Mars spicy cloves, heat, peppers 
 
to throw into the cauldron all words that have been abused 
Freedom
to re-emerge fresh, anew
 
 
Dion Fortune’s Chart
it also was the Dark of the Moon before a Solar Eclipse
(because when the south node is near the sun, it means there’s about to be an eclipse)
 
she had Sagittarius squaring Saturn in Virgo
language craft 
tension between Sag and Virgo is 
I want to do everything – Perfectly!
so let’s bring that back and sift through it
 
The tide … out and in … sifting through 
 
Part of the Inquisition is that shame can be impediment between us and acknowledging the truth of creative complicity
 
if we feel cringey or ashamed or not good enough
it’s an impediment to look at with creative enthusiasm 
to how we might be complicitous 
no shame, no blame, we’re all working it 
 
Remember that when we began our journey Mercury was at 11 Scorpio
and then went backwards and forwards and came to 11 Scorpio on Nov 13
the reminder of the Renaissance Council, power of symbols and metaphors
 
(and inviting in everyone to the Council – young people, other people, anyone with whom it resonates)
 
 
Evangeline Chart
Mars in Aries (Mars return)
trining the South Node of the Moon (all of us)
and her Moon at 19 Sag
 
Sylvia says the South Node of the Moon is what we already know how to do
19 Sag is the climate crisis degree (long term cyclical foresight)
and in our heritage, we all know how to do this
it’s like how some people lived in caves for thousands of years during the ice age
and we have this as part of our collective knowledge 
 
** The Solar Eclipse will happen Monday Morning the 14th
and we may play with that 
 
Sylvia says, as the Moon covers the too bright light of the sun, the winds come up, spooky, powerful, 
at the moment of totality, it is so amazing, orgasmic, beautiful 
in that moment you see the stars come out around the sun 
 
Sylvia says that for weeks before an Eclipse it gets spooky
and it can be difficult to see possibilities
primal fear, marvel, awe … and then stars – possibilities 
so we see the possibilities after the eclipse (stars) that we couldn’t see before
 
(everything literal is symbolic)
 
May this be Eclipsed by this
May the toxic con be eclipsed by the authentic
May the abuse of the word of Freedom be eclipsed by the authentic atmospheric hum 
 
May our manner of relating be a liberating offering 
rather than an imprisoning tyranny
 
and we’re all working on this together
but there’s no shame 
 
suspicious about shame because it seems to be socially taught
as a type of prison
it’s nuanced, we want accountability … 
we may spiral out any blessing into the world of which we would be a willing recipient, even a joyful recipient
 
out of the cauldron
wise Saturn elephants
customized for each being
the positive Saturn, ethics
 
Saturn-Jupiter conjoining this December 21st 
married at 0 Aquarius
is all of us defining and dedicating to what does it mean to be a good citizen?
Good citizen of the Earth
 
the I-Ching says ‘as the Winter Solstice approaches all the mountain passes are shut down’
 
outgoing music
13th century winter solstice christmas cathedral song 
mystery and exaltation 
 
here’s our Jupiter part
when constricted, tight
Jupiter – sending, receiving blessings … expansive 
 
the I-Ching convenes with us
to send us off into the dream world
 
19 nearing releasing the spirit
all these rituals are part of an investment in darkness
its the ceremony that turns the experience of death 
into ancestors through which blessings may flow 
 
Whatever is truly best for everyone – come on in! 
 
May all humans have increasing empathic experience of their effect on others! Ashé!

Prince Caspian is woken by his tutor, Dr. Cornelius, in the middle of the night and taken up a dark stairway to the top of a tower. There he sees the conjunction of two planets: “Tarva, the Lord of Victory, salutes Alambil, the Lady of Peace.” According to Dr Cornelius, “Their meeting is fortunate and means some great good for the sad realm of Narnia.”

20:02:20 From Eryn Alloway : “Part of the Inquisition is that shame can be an impediment between us and acknowledging the truth of creative complicity”
20:05:06 From Cathy : Young people all want to get in on this magic.
20:05:17 From Eryn Alloway : it’s a definite resonant vibe of now
20:10:45 From carmensnyder : My partner’s 12 year old son, Jett, joined us in the ritual, speaking the closing Gettysburg Address words out loud together after offering his parchment paper style (antiqued) drawing of the script to a maple tree in our yard while I made my plum tree offering. A recent highlight in our tricky relationship and very sweet that he said yes to the invitation…
20:11:03 From Eryn Alloway : Love that so much
20:19:15 From carmensnyder : Martin says, “Don’t be ashamed, but have a sense of shame” (in the sense of, I think, manners)
20:19:39 From Deborah Felmeth : yes, that’s the way
20:20:04 From Rita : …Shame may have been what we felt at one time or another… but it is not who we are 🙂
20:24:16 From ownerMilda Vaivada : There is a need to be taught good manners.
20:25:01 From Darcy Scholts : Getting older means I can see The Long Game a little better. The instant gratification entitled misuse of the word freedom is not recognizing the long game
20:25:11 From Darcy Scholts : which is what we are in!
20:27:24 From Deborah Felmeth : let us have at the ready our listening, our gratitude, our aikido selves ready to allow disruptive energy to pass on by, our ability to dance in a sacred way with all creation
20:27:25 From Darcy Scholts : manners= respect
20:28:25 From Dawn Danby : http://regen.earth/
20:30:00 From Deborah Felmeth : good work Darcy!
20:30:11 From Darcy Scholts : reading by osmosis 🙂
20:30:35 From Eryn Alloway : Dawn so cool – this map is amazingly inspiring wow!
20:30:51 From Dawn Danby : https://tinyurl.com/regenministry
20:32:39 From Eryn Alloway : And I think part of the dismissive impediment is that it’s a strange team-building con to say ‘all that sucks, but we’re smart’ and it’s a terrifying solo mission to say ‘yes I love that’
20:34:01 From Eryn Alloway : Which is also definitely part of the dualism of politics now … easier to say ‘all those people are dumb, and we’re smart’ then to say ‘oh but I love this piece, not that piece, and yes to this piece …’ vulnerable
20:34:46 From DepotStudios6 : Yes
20:36:03 From Ann Landesberg : Is it possible that those of us who are riding around with guns demanding unmasked MAGA freedom are performing the public service of making part of our American shadow visible? Thus giving us all the opportunity to reclaim/own our part of our collective shadow, make it conscious and heal it by doing so?
20:36:36 From DepotStudios6 : Yes to this,too!
20:36:36 From Deborah Felmeth : ah good Ann
20:36:56 From Eryn Alloway : Ooo yes Ann ‘gotta know, in detail’
20:37:01 From Darcy Scholts : Ann this makes sense!
20:39:50 From Darcy Scholts : YAY for the Christmas Revels!!!!
20:43:57 From Susan : 8 AM what time zone?
20:44:28 From Adrienne : Love & blessings to you Carmen. Holding healing and protective space for all of you.
20:44:47 From ownerMilda Vaivada : what time zone?
20:45:15 From Adrienne : Pacific, I think…
20:45:25 From Eryn Alloway : I think Pacific, west coast May everyone be released from relationships that no longer serve them!
20:46:42 From Deborah Felmeth : may it be well Carmen, may it be so, with love, aikido skill, and desired outcome ashé
20:47:31 From Rita : …May the higher frequency of what is in your partner’s heart be untouched by anything of lower frequency mischief !
20:48:15 From Eryn Alloway : May your partner put on his skillful, sparkling dancing shoes to dance out of all nets and traps and spiral out of this polarity – for him and us All!
20:48:41 From Darcy Scholts : a bit of playfulness popping the illusion bubble.
Tom Bombadil dancing in and seeing through it all.
20:49:04 From KO : Carolines sore throat finds a new home!

·· Statue of Freedom

(From Notes)

Dion Fortune wanted to give her crew symbols to animate (they focused on the Rosy Cross, christian symbols)

but who/what would we like to focus on?

The Statue of Freedom is wild in her own way, indigenous symbols smuggled in (feathers, eagle) she’s right on top of the Capitol DC is full of actual structural metaphors that some say are awaiting conscious animation

*see The Secret Architecture of our Nation’s Capitol 

The Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital: The Masons and the Building of Washington, D.C.
by David Ovason

“Today, there are more than twenty complete zodiacs in Washington, D.C., each one pointing to an extraordinary mystery. David Ovason, who has studied these astrological devices for ten years, now reveals why they have been placed in such abundance in the center of our nation’s capital and explains their interconnections. His richly illustrated text tells the story of how Washington, from its foundation in 1791, was linked with the zodiac, with the meaning of certain stars, and with a hidden cosmological symbolism that he uncovers here for the first time.”

The Statue of Freedom may be one we would like to feed

she had a long arduous journey (see article, here)
and was not put on the Capitol until after the Civil War

Animating the Statue of Freedom

imagining her glowing, drawing her, putting her on our altar…

to find a time that feels right … at a certain time before next Tuesday

so how do we do this?

we invite her to express herself 

and by changing our language,
the very questions we ask can we turned into invitations

from “how do we liberate Freedom from the toxic con” 
to “Let us liberate Freedom from the toxic con”

so what is the antidote to the toxic imprisoning con?
the liberating authentic!

so our assignment is to invite in the liberating authentic

  1. Thank you, team, for your good thoughts and well wishes and for holding space for my meltdown last night. The inaugural mediation this morning went as smoothly as it probably could, given who we’re dealing with. We really liked the mediator, a progressive, no bullshit, good humored guy with decades of experience and also extensive interest in and experience with alternative healing modalities. Eric’s lawyer is consistently awesome, and she was great today, too. Eric did a stellar job, staying centered, solid, and clear, with good words. And I felt protected and more relaxed than expected, given that I’ve hardly slept a wink in five days and have been running on fumes. With much gratitude and love to all, Carmen

  3. Eryn, Could we have the “map” for a next gathering? I did not find the map but did find the chapter in the book wherein the land projects call out their names. It might be good to bring them into the “cabinet” for our politicians/ who are ourselves.
    Dawn so cool – this map is amazingly inspiring wow!

  4. Tossed into roaring home-fires at 8:33 CT all scraps of paper with wording from our last council intended for THE cauldron, along with many scraps of my own.
    Seeing FREEDOM rising with the smoke & out into the ethereal wherewithal ( heading toward Saturn and Jupiter !) Feeling resonance with all good-hearted here and beyond.
    Bless you all, dear council-beings!

  5. Evangeline & all – our map may be found at:

    “This is an ongoing mapping of documentaries about regenerative projects. We wanted to know the stories of the field of practitioners bringing their world(s) to life. It’s a labor of love, mostly to express gratitude to this remarkable community. We curate the map for projects that a) are inspiring in their ambition and scope and b) have had a short or long-form documentary made about them. Of course there are many remarkable regenerative projects in the world, so this is simply an effort to illuminate the expanding field.”

  6. Carmen: so very pleased to hear this update! Was thinking of you all that morning, having experienced similar challenges. To peace and healing. x
