“The Forest and the Sea
Remind Us Who We Are”

 

(referencing Sean Padraig O’Donoghue’s splendid book
“The Forest Reminds Us Who We Are –
Connecting to the Living Medicine
of Wild Plants”…

I add – and Wild Planets)

 

Yo Team!

So am just arrived
at the glorious beach with my dogs.

And the chart of our convening tonight  
is so fantabulous, as to dissolve any impulse
I had to play hooky…

So I asked last week’s fellow Solstice cahooter
Seán Padraic O’Donoghue, if he was game,
woof-woof-swoosh to play with us tonight,
and, within minutes he responded:

“My being joyously yips “Yes! Yes!”

I look forward to Monday eve’s
continuation of our adventures!”

 

Wonderful. I told him,
different than last week’s Solstice –
this be Trickster Training Council,
and we see where it goes..

 

Fluid, everything be shape-shifting fluid…

 

The dissolving of all structures –

 

Horrific when humans build
12 story condo buildings on
“re-claimed” wet-lands,

These shore line buildings have been
sinking measurably for over a decade….

So let us engage in the metaphoric guiding –
to dissolve in our micro-macro realms,
that in our rogue species…
that would construct
such a callous calamity ?

 

 

Dissolve & Re-imagine-
Solve et Coagula- 

Dissolution is the Secret
of the Great Work

 

So Sean invites

Solomon’s Seal –
to restore fluidity to fascia,
and structural integrity

and notes :

“Wilhelm Reich said that fascism
is a disease of fascia being rigid.”

(see “The Mass Psychology of Fascism.”)

“The question at the heart of Reich’s book
was this: why did the masses turn to
authoritarianism even though it is
clearly against their interests?”

“The healthy alternative, he proposes,
is a form of “Workers Democracy”,
whereby those who ‘do’ the actual work
make the decisions as to what, how and why.”

 

 

So:

More undulating
to dissolve fascism….

“Reich noted that the symbolism of
the swastika, evoking the fantasy of
the primal scene, showed in spectacular
fashion how Nazism systematically
manipulated the collective unconscious.”

 

is to be found in reverent animation
of liberating symbols…

 

Such as

Our tonight Mars 10+ Leo
(opposite Saturn, square Uranus,
trine Chiron crucial mediating participant)-

“Children swinging under the shade
of a huge oak tree, the borrowed strengths
of ancient traditions rooted in Nature Mysticism.”

All past practices that have elicited
the best of humans are available
for fresh expression… 

 

Our MC, is among my favorite degrees,
the secret soul of America, whose image is
“a fellowship supper reunites old comrades.”

So, of course tis not limited to America,
but tis an assignment to brew that metaphor
and waft out to world…..

 

 

Let us see ourselves on  the front lines
of dissolving the front lines…

As we cross borders, we take our trickster
brooms, and swoosh away the borders –

restore flow

and permeability…

 

 

 MC forms a Grand trine in water
to the Moon Jupiter conjunction in Pisces,

Woooo, ooooo…ooooo…ancestral down load
for the medicine we need to brew now…

and that Moon Jupiter
quintile Uranus in Taurus:

Animism –
not a belief but a practice,
just good manners.

 

We are in the midst of delusion fest-

Mercury squares Neptune,
yet trines Saturn:

 

So Sean invites Calamus

 

 

Which improves understanding of language….

the language of humans and rocks
and plants and oceans,

everything speaking – so let’s listen…

 

Wherever we flow,
are flowed in tonight’s council,

Encourage wondering
what would like us to be its voice – 

listening for the response…

and how we would like to undulate spirals
of ingenious reverence out into
the Memosphere…

 

Oceans and Forests conversing…
