Caroline hosts long-time Trickster ally David Grimes, on the occasion of his birthday – today,
That we may honor all Lunar Yang- within and without.“Strong Enough to be Gentle”
“If we’re not having fun – we’re just not serious enough,” quips Bre’r Grimes…
So, in keeping with Br’er Rabbit:
Let us gather to segachuate,
with our Mentors:
Chiron, the Mentor Centaur,
be stationing retro today at 12+ Aries—
that we may “defuse all tense situations,”
as its image is “A bomb that fails to go off…”

and here to join us in Council is Uranus also
stationing degree, 14+ Taurus:
“In the midst of a wild storm a stranger walks into town,
wearing a silk top hat, carrying a large black bag,
the Doctor Magician, collaborator with Intelligences of Nature!”
(Tis Stephen Harrod Buhner’s birthday – great curmudgeon herbalist –
all honor, be today as well! Sending lavender psilocybe mist to him
and all beings…
and
Aha! I knew it, a recent favorite Bardic Guest is Sean Padraic O’Donoghue,
and yes, they both be Cancer Men! “Strong enough to be Gentle.”
Sean be July 16th, 1974…I could feel the Cancerian kinship…
and I guessed it – Jose Andres- July 13, 1969
(and Anthony Bourdain, June 25, 1996 – now an ancestor,
to whom we offer the “angel’s share.”
The “angel’s share” is what evaporates when we brew whisky…)
The Moon backs us up, at 3+ Libra,
“Pilgrims gather around a campfire,
shared pursuits that draw people together
…Journeying towards a common goal,
seeing that each person has a piece of the whole,
as in the Canterbury Tales.”
And trines Saturn,
so our fealty to collaborative Beauty be pledged.
And trines Pluto – so regenerative re-Wilding be available…
The Sun (opposite Pluto, aware of danger,
yet exactly trines stationing Neptune!
Rosemary Wells (Journey to the Bunny Planet)
So Reversal Magic be available.
Bunny Planet
Crafting the future by gazing at the caravan of our past mentors!
Good for all beings…
Imagination be most potent,
as we re-assume our responsibility
for dreaming the desirable world into being.
p.s
and The Sun quintiles the Moon, as Jupiter quintiles Uranus,
so irresistible eloquence opens portals between worlds…
