Heeding the Call
Inward Jupiterian reflection
guiding us to our Outward narrative
Sagittarius and Pisces the two Jupiters –
inward and onward, are in play now…
Santa’s wink reminds us he is as old as Odin,
as old as the forests, for at this time,
especially now – one eye looks inward,
one eye looks outward…
and of course,
Santa as an Amanita mushroom shaman
Great video with article,

We are so Jupiterianly Lucky to have
master plant alchemist, going inward
to go outward guide, Micah Nilsson
return to our council tonight..
She wrote two articles for our night,
and this diving to Solstice time,
that I ardently encourage us all to peruse…
The plants whose story we tell,
will make us better story tellers…
wheel and deal alliances abounding…
“Inner Peace for Outer Strength”
There’s an in-depth writeup, and also a downloadable cheat sheet that’s a digest of the list, and I think it all comes together very well.

an excerpt:
“For our first step getting out of our beds and stepping back into life and vitality, I recommend Rhodiola. This Tibetan tonic root is used by the monks as a spiritual food, to sustain their energy and strength through long cycles of chanting and meditation. It also has a magical reputation as an herb to help see into the future, and observe and follow the patterns of energy that flow out from now and create what will happen.
Warrior monks especially valued this aspect of Rhodiola because it allowed them to see the battle ahead of time, and to know where the blows would be coming from and how best to respond to avoid injury. Most of us don’t need that exact kind of insight, fortunately, but Rhodiola’s wisdom and its great uplift of the endorphins and their happy effects brings visions of a positive future, which is the first step to pulling out of the hole of hopelessness that depression creates.”

Children of the Forest (Emily Fiegenschuh)
Micah says: “Trees are a big part of it,
since so many meditation plants are trees,
and I love the idea of connecting with them
to be better allies to them.”
I continue to love Richard Power’s novel
“The Overstory” – all about trees,
weaving all the human stories together…
science and animism re-wed….
Forests are in terrible trouble –
and seek to partner, to teach us partnering,
that we deepen our plant, fungi, root alliances
to see us through this time…
We so need the forests – and now
the forests need us…
