starts tomorrow!
The Dark Is Rising will be released as a podcast and linear-broadcast on BBC World Service in 12 daily episodes, beginning on 20 December, with each episode corresponding to the ‘real time’ of the novel’s unfolding. It is recorded partly in binaural sound, which gives listeners using headphones a unique immersive experience. The Dark Is Rising will be an advent calendar like no other – and a remarkable audio event for families and all ages alike worldwide.
tis a spooky time, (Mercury in retro shadow and all)
to surface with joy….
earned joy….
tossing grievance into cauldron, ladling out gratitude, “forgiveness,” as meaning “giving energy for change!”
Was considering the above….
and remembering that this be the time of year, when we see what is oft hidden…
in ourselves
as well as in the world…

(The Sun, on Solstice illuminates the back of the cave,
the magic good be – here this be the story our community wants to animate…”)
(But to get there….)
Was thinking “I don’t really have grievance”
when whooosh… great waves of grievance rose within me…woo-hoo, a surprise…
things I minded
from the past, injustices, unkindnesses…
to me
and then
from me….
and little snags of “can we just toss into cauldron, or do they need to be aired?
to the people involved?”
I think they may want to be written, said to oneself, and burned…
Micro personal
to macro collective
America’s Pluto return…in play…
or better yet, enthusos perks up Coyote ears
turned into satire!!!!
Dark Noire Humor welcome…
We may well want to brew all our befoiblements, dark feelings,
as incentive to hone our spicy creative sizzle….
inspired by
Tom Lehrer, whom we shall honor tonight… Satire be liberating….
His act of generosity:
Tom Lehrer has released all his songs into the public domain. https://tomlehrersongs.com
He be very now – the Pisces – Aries conversation…
the two Jupiters…
and his Mars, Pisces, quintiles Saturn in Sag…
and am super grateful, and encouraging all to listen to Rachel Maddow’s podcast – “Ultra.”
“Ultra” via Apple Podcasts online: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra/id1647910854
Am listening to episode 8 several times…. so crucial to us all now…
a lineage of on going totalitarian Nazi creepitide in this country….
(Our first Tom Lehrer song tonight, resonates this, wittily…)
“If you’re gonna tell people the truth, make them laugh…”
Here be our Trickster lineage, backwards and forwards…
final moments of Jupiter in Pisces…at the last degree of the zodiac 29+ Pisces….
2 Jupiters…(Sagittarian – outward questing
Piscean – inward diving…)
Jupiter enters Aries tomorrow 6:32 am est/9:32 am pst
Much woof to animate
the desirable story…
“The hare runs into the fire,”be great guiding theme in “I Shall Wear Midnight.”
placing on our work table:
One narrative be that all the heat in the Water, the Oceans,
will become apparent…to all Earth Citizens
There have been typhoons in the Arctic…
and it behooves us all in a ho op’ono pono kinda way, for us to syphon off our heat…
to being agents of cool-out….
And certainly the Aries, Mars theme, of
“on what literal and metaphoric fuel are we running…”
Fusion?
This can, and must be, an era of genius innovation….
and so many possibilities in the Oceanic realms…
pick one,
lest we be swimming in vast Ocean of possibilities…
dedicate to one,
that may come to us in a dream…
and let’s woof it…
Let’s ally with the darkness of Moon in Scorpio… coming to oppose Uranus (at the end of our gathering)
quincunx Mars retro in Gemini – so 2 Mars
exactly sextile Venus 12 = Capricorn – dedication…
is the antidote to fear…
Mercury trine Uranus, quintile Jupiter, who quintiles Mars (biquintile betwixt Mars and Mercury, Mars “ruler” or host.)
and more that we shall speak without needing to know the language…
