a bit of tom-foolery: Word of the Day “tartle”- kinned, partnered with kerfuffle…
but more specifically spacey…”the email you leave until later because you need to give it a more considered response, and then forget about all together.” etc….
Tis a time of tartles…
Micro tartling, as a dim resonance of so much discombobulating distraction in macro…. …
In a time of tartles, remedy to go to
Wonderland -“if you find it in your dreams – you can find it in your day job…..”
Translating the light from dreams into incarnational actuality….
“You can’t go home in the middle of a magic carpet ride!”
….
So here we be
Perhaps we might do an altar with our customized Dragon ride
Now here’s one very real news….with ardent poetic cadence….
to broadcast everywhere….

and as remedy, may the horrific carnage serve as incentive to dedicate to participating in Beauty…
remembering
the Beauty of the Moon Earth origin story
Synestia (from Hestia, goddess of Home and Hearth )
NPR: The Earth and Moon are twins! A discovery that explains their origin
So let’s conjure our ideal government form all of Flora Fauna Fungi
Mugwort, Dept of Dreaming
Chiron, and/or Iboga, Veterans Affairs….
feel free to nominate…

Trickster archives – Valentine’s day & the tale of dame ragnelle
“Almost Pope” Valentinus
Credit goes to Patricia Ewing – Council Ally and Trickster – for reminding us for this important history.Valentine’s Day is Valentine’s Day – because of “Almost Pope” Valentinus.”
Almost (that we want to redress these days) Pope Valentinus was against any hierarchy in the Church, he was absolutely for equal men and women, women could serve as Priests, but the position was rotational – So one week you were a layperson, the next week you were a priest, and so on… Almost made it to Pope!
More about Valentinus from Gnosis.org
Equal Lunar and Solar….
Valentine’s Day is meant to be about ‘Equal’
Equal Mars and Venus (within everybody), Equal Men and Women, Equal Women and Women, Equal Men and Men, Equal Humans and the Rest of Creation
It’s quite lively – whatever one wants to do – water the flowers, feed the birds, do some active beauty – is a perfectly lovely and wonderful thing to do.
We do remember autonomy – as is potent in the beautiful tale of Dame Ragnelle…
All the Myths are available to us for invitation and brewing: 5 drops of Dame Ragnelle….
The Tale of Dame Ragnelle
It’s at the very, very heart, the center of the Arthurian Legend, the Grail Legend, so important to Western civilization (but not just to Western civilization, because it’s also intertwined with the Middle East and West)
And we remember that Parsifal can only attain the Grail, restore the waters of life, when he finds his secret, Islamic, Black twin Brother – It’s about the best of esoteric West and esoteric Middle East coming together to restore the Waters of Life
So at the very heart of that, is the Tale of Dame Ragnelle
…
Arthur is hunting in the woods one day – he wounds a deer and unstraps his sword to venture into a thicket to find it, whereupon he is set upon by an old enemy who is there. And (the details are weird) it’s an old enemy due to real estate deal gone bad.
His enemy says ‘Oh – Now I am going to kill you!’Arthur says, ‘Well, but I am unarmed, that would be most unchivalrous’And his enemy says, ‘Fair enough, I will give you a question, and I will give you a year in which to answer it, and then I will show up in court. And if you have the right answer, then you shall live; And if you do not have the right answer, I will cut off your head in court.’
Arthur responds, ‘Oh that’s more than fair, more than fair. Thank you very much… What’s the question?’His enemy says, ‘The question is – What do women want?’
‘Oooooooo…..’All year he is talking to philosophers, and talking to wise women in the fields, and people everywhere… And he is gathering a whole burlap sack full of answers but he knows it’s not quite it, and time is getting short…When – into town, into court rides Dame Ragnelle (she is described as smelling like the sea at low tide, way funky… and she has enormous tusks…).And she ride up to Arthur, and she says, ‘I have the answer that will save your life.’And he goes, ‘Oh, thank you, thank you very much – that’s great!’And she says, ‘Not so fast – in return, for that answer which will save your life, I will marry your nephew, Sir Gawain, the handsomest man in court!’And Gawain says, ‘Oh Uncle! I will do it for you. (And maybe we can find the answer somewhere else before that)’So, the enemy arrives, and Arthur has these burlap sacks full of answers, and he pours them out, and his enemy is sharpening his sword… SSsshmph SSSssshmph Ssmph ‘Nope, Nope, Nope – these are not right…’Finally all that Arthur has is the answer which Dame Ragnelle has whispered in his ear… And he whispers the answer into his enemy’s ear. And his enemy goes ‘Oh! Phooey!’ and leaves our story.So, Guinevere thought a small wedding might be nice, but Dame Ragnelle will have none of it and insists on a really big wedding. And as Gawain has bedded all the women in court, and they are all moaning ‘Oh, Gawain, it’s so terrible!’. Meanwhile, Dame Ragnelle is eating entire boars, grease is pouring down her chin, and on to her frock.Later, they retire to the bedchamber, and they are in bed.Dame Ragnelle says to Gawain, ‘How ’bout a little kiss, sweetie?’And he gathers all of his chivalry, and all of his goodness, and he says, ‘Nay, I will do more than kiss, madam…’ And as he turns to her, he sees – she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life. He goes, ‘Wow, what is this?‘She says, ‘Your goodness has half restored me from a terrible spell, and here’s the deal – I can beautiful as I am intrinsically half of the time. Either with you in court, or with you in bed at night – one or the other – you choose!’And he goes, Hmm let me think about this, there are appearances and there are things…And he finally says, ‘It is too great a decision madam – You choose.’And she says, ‘You have completely released me, and I will be beautiful all the time as I intrinsically am – because what women want most in all the world is sovereignty. Sovereignty given, sovereignty given back, and sovereignty given again.’
And they make love time out of mind.
People have devoted their whole lives to this, Ananda Coomaraswamy writes about it, and loves it, and says The King must wed the Land (in her funkiest – because the Land is funky!)And Sappho says, If you are squeamish, Do not stir the rubble on the beach, And do not have anything to do with womenJungian’s say, You’ve got to kiss the hagThere’s always someone is your life going You’re not going to wear that tie, are you?And you have to kiss her anywayIt operates on many, many, many levels…What do women – and what does the Earth, herself – want most? Sovereignty.
Astro*play re-minder: Uranus is the planet of bestowing and giving sovereignty
*********************************
Yes yes yes, welcoming all help in soul healing from Flora Fauna Fungi…All the Earth Citizens are concerned about our rogie species…
From Seán Pádraig O’Donoghue to Everyone:There is an Israel psychedelic diaspora — veterans who went to South America seeking healing. I am envisoning them returning with the medicine they received to awaken the hearts of their fellow soldiers.
From Seán Pádraig O’Donoghue to Everyone:Ukraine is giving troops Iboga
Yes soul healing , that when a community is connected to the Earth, the participants come into clarified accord…
From Sandra del Castillo to Everyone:Please tell us again about the undulating energy that is lacking in the atmosphere due to climate change-hence the atmospheric rivers!
Yes, the atmospheric rivers are stalling, causing calamity….losing the capacity to undulate…
Orthodoxy means straight teachings … We like our teachings curvy…
So as Maria Sabina sings through glorious Natalia Lafourcade… “Always remember – you are the Medicine….”
So micro undulating contributes to macro undulating…
