Chart & Themes
Woof-Woof fellow dedicated Agents of
Liberating Trickster Ingenuity-
and Participatory Animism!
How fitting (Some Genius Trickster
Intelligence is scheduling us!)
that
We are convening for our diaspora…
under
Waxing Moon Cancer-Capricorn-
(exact tonight 10:28 pm est,
after we diaspora we can all telepathically
cahoot, free-range by howling to the Moon…!)
That
Reverence and protection of life, (Cancer)
may be teased into structures of governance!
(Capricorn)
May we all be safe enough
to take the interesting risks,
whereby to dree our weird…
Sun’s Full Moon image is
“Angel Carrying a Harp.”
in the (Saint) Nick of Time!
and to breathe living Story (Jupiter)
into receptive structures-
like statues….(Saturn)
in the public realm (Aquarius)
May authentic vital wisdom liberate
the Citizenry from all doofus-y delusion…
The Full Moon’s image is “Naked Girl..”
Here be María Lionza!
“naked girl riding a tapir….”
Coming alive,
eager for our animation-invitation…
delighted to be introduced to Freedom (US Capitol),
and Miss Freedom (Georgia State Capitol),
both carrying swords of Justice & Discernment…
They be stirring under this waxing Moon….
Here be Maria Leonza,
presiding over Caracas,
full of trippy fierce fun,
“María Lionza is sometimes portrayed as an indigenous woman and sometimes as pale-skinned with green eyes, usually surrounded by animals. She is often depicted naked riding a tapir.
“María Lionza is the central figure in one of the most widespread indigenous religions in Venezuela. The cult of María Lionza is a blend of African, indigenous and Catholic beliefs. She is revered as a goddess of nature, love, peace and harmony. She has followers throughout Venezuelan society, from small rural villages to Caracas, where a monumental statue stands in her honor. The Cerro María Lionza Natural Monument (also known as Sorte mountain) where an important pilgrimage takes place every October, was named in her honour….”
Wikipedia: María Lionza
“One of the most iconic portrayals of María Lionza is the 1951 monument in the Francisco Fajardo Highway in Caracas by Venezuelan sculptor Alejandro Colina. It portrays María Lionza as a muscular naked woman, riding a large tapir which is standing on a snake. Lionza holds a female pelvis, representing fertility, high above her head.”
So needed (Cancer) – Now!
“she is better known as Queen María Lionza. Her importance lies in that she commands the legions of spirits, known as “cortes,” and it is she and only she who allows the passage of the spirits to the earthly plane to interact with the living, either through portals or during ceremonies or magical works, where devotees lend their bodies for these entities. In Venezuela, this is called ser materia, “being matter.” ”
quote from great article:
María Lionza – the Venezuelan Queen of Spirits
Jupiter into Saturn…
******************************
Tis a Good Journey –
forward and backwards…
What are we remembering,
and packing to take with us for
Aizon!
the worthy dangerous journey?!
*Reciprocal Blessing
*Mercury
our election Guide
Magician
*Spiraling out of Polarity-
Sufi Aikido
*We all now know how to imaginatively
micro micro dose (just the name)
on sacraments of participatory kinship!
thus
*Liberating everyone’s pattern tracking
instincts into that which liberates
(v imprisoning delusional polarity etc)
*Our Cauldron – into which we toss
all that is imprisoning,
and ladle out all that be liberating..
“Believe Nothing – Entertain Possibilities!”
Dogma into Cauldron
(anything to which we have out-sourced Saturn)
Autonomy is the redemptive sacrament…
Jupiter – ladling out Authentic hum of Kinship
Con into Cauldron-
Authenticity out…
*As we drew our election participatory
animism ballots, and voted in Nature,
we wove a connection to someplace dear to us…
giving and receiving…
collaborative accord…
My election Sycamore,
now Inaugurating Sycamore…, as a still point,
from which I/we can spiral into intimate
communication with Jupiter – Big Mind
of Dedicated Place – Saturn…
*Partnering with what we love, is essential
for the journey unfurling before us…
tonight-
Let’s work the
Palindromic Inauguration chart…
to be alert to danger, in order to avert…
averting disaster by gathering to consider…
and to imagine a True Inauguration,
of Qualities of Gaia’s Guiding Intelligence,
pouring into the Mystery Play…
Inaugurating Community of Mutual Aid,
in its largest embrace….
Seeing Freedom and Miss Freedom
and Maria Lionza cavorting on the Mall…
with our Customized Trickster Selves,
whom we Inaugurate this Night…
All that has been illusorily estranged,
willing to spiral back into harmonious accord,
awaiting our willingness to to and fro….
We are willing to to and fro!
Diaspora,
inhale the Universe,
exhale the multiverses….
P.S. For our play and perusal ~
Miss Freedom in Georgia,
before and after restoration
Before, from the Georgia Archives
After being restored in Canada:
And find the restoration story here
Follow-up Themes
Yo Team,
So here’s Ray Charles spicy,
rousing, holding nothing back full of liberating irony,
about Saturn – boundaries….
And here be us, the fantabulous chorus!
Saying goodbye – Saturn – to whatever – we’re saying,
“hit the road, Jack” to…
to Inaugurate a more fun equal story! Jupiter!
Let’s imagine as playing, as part of our Inauguration sound track….
Wafting into the memosphere,
with our customized atmospheric liberating blessings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyVuYAHiZb8
and looking up Eris sister of Mars,
“The symbols associated with the goddess Eris
are a poniard (a small dagger)
and a hissing adder which she holds in one hand,
and a burning torch that she holds in her other hand.”
Kinda Miss Freedom, Mara Lionza, the snake and all…
Chat

Ray Charles singing “Georgia on my mind”
From Michele Stern : gives me chills
From Eryn Alloway : Yes goosebumps in a good way
From Kay : In another life I was the stage manager for Stanford Lively arts and twice I helped Ray Charles back stage. He was truly a great person.

Notes
perfect to be convening at this waxing full moon
(full moon exact tonight)
full moon in Cancer protection of life
opposite Capricorn structural governance
‘there was times when all the critters used to gather to sagaciate,
like there ain’t been no falling out, like they all remembered they were kin”
-Br’r Rabbit
from Mary Poppins, the Hamadryad serpent
“tonight the small are free from the great
and the great protect the small
it may be that to eat and to be eaten is the same in this end …
we are all one, all moving to the same end”
New Moon Magic, Dion Fortune
and her character Morgen le Fay Morgen
…nothing is going right and she sees
with the dedication (Saturn) that the humble vase of flowers (Venus)
to Isis was accepted, she felt the downrush and knew
‘in the language of the adepts, I was back on my contacts’
*inhale the universe (Saturn)
exhale all of creation (Jupiter)
part of our dedicated blessing
theres a natural undulating, Saturn relaxing
like birth, giving birth, dancing, eros
coming back into the pulse
*Mudra of Self Possession
Saturn
May we all awaken self-possessed rather than possessed
inclusivity in our language
woof*woof*wanna*play!?!
if our manner of relating is an offering we are not tied to how it is received
part of the quality of Aquarius is to have a cool dynamic
cool objectivity, to be bemused rather than alarmed, cringing
Kierkagard says ‘presume love in the other’
let us presume willingness to play in the other
*Terry Pratchett “Magic has a fulcrum,
just need to know where to push”
(or blow…)
May we all be agents of metaphoric play
*** Georgia
*Ray Charles – Georgia on my Mind
he holds nothing back, it’s magic, you can feel it
goosebumps to music creates kinship
*Georgia gets to be a referendum on so much
Ahmaud Aberry, involuntary hysterectomies of Mexican women…
This Full Moon wants to be the antidote to this
Cool Aquarius, engaged deeply
“dedication to the desirable outcome” Dion Fortune
the forces we want to invite in are larger than us
there is much to be redeemed
we want the 5th act (redemption)
**The whole 2021 year unfurling
Aquarius ~ Taurus
Trickster Mind * Experimental Genius
wants to inform community to be included
dedicating to be agents of what we love
and forming collaborative partnerships
**Telepathic connection experience
the positive quality of group support
and with out election altars, places…
Saturn * place * larger mind *
*Moon
*Through imagination lost opportunities are regained
to protect as much life as possible
safe enough to dree our weird
*Vesta
may our dedication to community hearth flame be deepened
*Mars
May woofiness be in service to life
The intelligence of life knows how to do this,
may we be willing to guide this
and be humble
All these elements will be squaring Saturn
“opportunity to reunite falsely estranged principles” (square)
*Uranus retrograde stationing at 6+ Taurus
“woman of Sumeria at the ancestral well, healing cross cultural divides across water”
January 14th will move forward, when it goes from inward to outward
Uranus says each person gets to meet their inner life with outward synchronicity
that’s why the dedication, the wondering, is so important
that our dedication strengthens our signal, hums
so that we are more likely to be danced into accord with others and opportunities
*Uranus says I will connect you with the coolest opportunities available
I just require a gesture of willingness!
***New Moon on Feb 11th
It’s the Aquarius incoming
it’s the empathic outsider with insider connections
constellating community
ally ally in come free
mutual aid, structures of mutual support
***Palindromic Inauguration 01.20.2021
Astro friends says, oh I find the inauguration chart spooky, dangerous
this is available – nefarious dealings
but! let us animate the desirable
*Map Magic is fabulous
using maps… cornmeal for protection,
honey to sweeten hearts, cayenne to stay alert
…imaginative into the literal
*Rising sign, MC
the Magician*Doctor, cooperator of hidden forces
we want to animate that, see that
***what would we like to inaugurate
*Inclusion – spiraling out of polarity
…new orleans “We (Heart) Haters”
(strong enough to choose to love)
authenticity, when we call out and it comes back
*Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius
(Saturn and Uranus realm)
Saturn-Uranus
manners of the heretic
the imprisoning disregard for custom, colonial
and the liberating authentic outsider
*the Saturn ahhh is the incentive to experiment (Uranus)
with the inclusive story
to brew the medicine – with help!
*may we self-assess – discernment
point out and bless and dissolve
how might we bless and let back into our hearts those we have estranged
including ourselves
capoeira – dance – resolution in the circle of community
redefining Forgiveness as
giving energy for change
*Ibogaine
after taking this plant medicine
one cannot do what is not authentically themselves
(ritual of leadership and inauguration in part of Africa)
*Authenticity is part of out Saturn dynamic
*Trickster and Matyr both take on the
unmetabolized poison of community and family
Matter takes it on and is poisoned
Tricksters does not do it alone, invites in what can
and liberates the whole situation
*Prayer (and Blessings) has been shown to be best
when nonspecific (may all beings be well)
and non locality (may the best thing happen, not may the toe heal)
(from Deborah “may all beings be well, peaceful and happy”
and then weaving back and forth, more specific, less specific, inward, outward)
Kwan-Yin – cool wellbeing from a calm dedicated place
Buddha attained enlightenment with his back against the Bodhi tree
*Aramaic (translated by Neal Douglas Klotz)
it’s all Taurus, sensual, community
instead of ‘blessed are the peacekeepers’
‘blessed are those who plant peace’
when it’s too tight, constrictive, negative
call in the blessings
and they can be fantabulous
they don’t have to be realistic
(Miss Freedom and Freedom and María Lionza
climbing down from their stands and dancing in the streets)
***María Lionza
blend of African, indigenous, and Catholic beliefs
Jupiter – syncretism
not appropriation, different
a liberating blend of cultures
(no status to be derived – authentic)
ties in with so much, Inanna (babylonian/sumerian Venus)
‘contemplating the wonders of her own vulva’
and this is when it occurs to her to take back culture
from Enki who had stolen it from the humans
Queen María Lionza invites in spirits, cortes
may we be reverent heretics
weaving our syncretism
**Weaving! from Suzanne
weaving fibers and sending out blessings of inclusivity
As Max Dashu points out, before the inquisition
women would sing blessings into their weaving
let us reinvigorate this tradition
*Blessings unto animals who are leaving this mortal plane
Stella would bite at sentimentality “we’ll know when we get there”
not fear, but blessings
and telling them our story
like Mushkil Gusha
when the person is lost in the woods
and they try many things that don’t work
and then they sit down and tell themselves their own story
and then the adventure unfolds …
***Inaugurating
*from Carmen: Composting outrage – inaugurating amusement
being fluid and responsive instead of reactive
and outrage – Wrathful Dakinis
they take the poison of outrage and cook it into wrathful protection of all life
they take the poison of seduction and cook it into the magnetism
and what does this want to be?
we cook it back, liberating it
*May the unifying story of the Earth
dissolve the boundaries of nation-state
Like Neal Douglas-Klotz’s Aramaic translation
instead of ‘blessed are the meek’
‘Blessed are those who soften emotional rigidity in their hearts’
weaving connections across illusionary borders
(the theater project with black gang and white supremacist members working together,
the Israel-Palenstine medical radio show)
shambles (witches collection of mundane objects put together with dedication)
*Got to – to Get to!
We Get to be here now!
*May our pattern tracking be liberated
and may our discernment being liberating
*Caroline’s discernment guidelines
Does it guide people to their own autonomy
is it equal mars venus
is the Truth welcome
is Trickster welcome?
If yes – then let’s ladle it out!
*The Protoplasm of Reality is especially receptive to Imaginative Imprint
elephant guides! María Lionza holding up a female pelvis!
*May it be that each one of us inaugurates our customized liberated liberating Trickster companion!
*Weaving our lives with dedicated ritual and generosity * fills us with delight! to and fro!
exit song
*The Christmas Revels – Christmas Day in the Morning
Speed Hollvedel

“Tonight the small are free from the great, and the great protect the small. To eat and be eaten are the same thing in the end. My wisdom tells me this is so. We are all of the same stuff, remember, we of the jungle and you of the city. The same substance composes us, the trees overhead, the stone beneath us, the bird, the beast, the star. We are all one, all moving to the same end.”

And just one more poem that my mother taught me eons ago:
By Edwin Markham
“He drew a circle that shut me out-
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle and took him In!”
Mmm beautiful yes Susan! Thank you!
