Solstice Eve
back-stage to the back-stage of the Year
with Sean
(and perhaps Ami….)
as we all co-brew….continue to stir the cauldron…

Moon in her sign rising exactly trine Neptune…
all the guiding myths and metaphors of participatory kinship,
that ever were or will be are here now…
Atmospheric Magic…
atmosphere be the first place of influence for the Trickster within and without….
Which is good, because Moon also sesquiquadrates Mars,
encountering all that is corrupt in its carelessness of life
(we looking at corrupt Joe Manchin’s corrupt cruel crime family….)
all that might get our goat…
challenging conundrum…
so- Gathering our wits,
inhaling our goaty autonomy
Honoring, calling upon the dead….
More dearly departed reporting in…
The year closes with the final Saturn-Uranus square…
Let all impedimental arghhh,
be an incentive to experiment, to create greater quirky Beauty…
That our rogue species have sufficient manners to humbly cooperate with Nature’s Guiding design Genius…
So – It behooves us to consider our dedications, entertain the possibility we are all entering into a field of
Redemptive Trickster booking agency …
We are the molecules with which the Big Story speaks to itself through the magic of synchronicity…
“If you provide the metaphors & music – we backstage ancestors will provide the molecules…” sayeth the Between Worlds Community of Solstice Woof!

Sun sextiles Jupiter
at “Butterfly emerges from chrysalis….” degree…
So all the Heartening stories of redemptive transformation, likewise available…
And here be worthy Mystery: that Jupiter quintiles Uranus, the two path openers provide us the capacity to open portals between worlds,
inviting in against all odds Redemption…
Sean quotes:
“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring (spoken by Galadriel)
So, let’s participate….in a witty fierce playful, gloves off manner…
Pluto quintiles Stationing Chiron at the “crystal gazer degree”
Holding steady to dark humour desirable vision….
opening the portals to invite in all that we need for ingenious altruism…
jaunty aplomb…tranquility of purpose…

Thanks to Sean for guiding
to Gwydion,
our middle song,
and here be the lyrics to sing/follow along tonight…

IRISH TIMES: Newgrange winter solstice sunrise to be live-streamed due to Covid concerns Footage from Co Meath passage tomb to be broadcast online on December 20th, 21st, 22nd
Livestream Link: https://heritageireland.ie/winter-solstice/
We will once again live-stream the Winter Solstice on this page at 08:45 UTC on the 20th, 21st and 22nd of December, so make sure to join us to view the spectacular phenomenon and learn some fascinating facts.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice occurs on 21st or 22nd of December, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Capricorn. At sunrise on the shortest day of the year, for 17 minutes, direct sunlight can enter the Newgrange monument, not through the doorway, but through the specially contrived small opening above the entrance known as the ‘roof box’, to illuminate the Chamber.





Hello–thinking about Kingship/Sovereignty last night put me in mind of one of my very favorite movies, I Know Where I’m Going with Wendy Hiller ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJFRJbVwTJ0 ). A determined young woman faces a choice between two men, one linked to money/capital, the other embodying the Land. It’s magical. It’s all there. I could watch it anytime. I’d love to know if anyone checks this out.
