Dark of Moon Tele*Coyote
(plant seeds of renewal from destruction to prepare for this week’s New Moon on Thursday May 13th)

“Bad influence going, exorcize it!; seeds of good are coming.”
(I Ching hexagram 39 : “Yu, the limping god tamed the flood, channelled the the overflowing waters from the underworld Ghost River, obtained the aid of Responding Dragon and Numinous Turtle, clearing communication from the spirit world. The waters of the dead overwhelm the living, time for exorcism of noxious influences.”
Mercury stations: time to renew our dedications, resolve our long-standing kerfuffles, go back and check off the boxes we might have forgotten to check in pre-eternity, like the “funding”box, that we may fully engage in the Dire Beauty of Now.
Saturn in Virgo, permeable, precarious boundaries opposite Uranus in Pisces the sea – square Pluto the great sudden up-welling of darkness from the Underworld.
This Eco-cataclysm – of humans creating Hell out of Heaven,
catalyzes the pragmatic magical necessity of our Trickster Medicine
and the sprinkling of metaphoric dispersants on corporations that cause harm..
“Common effort for future good arises from lonely striving in the past, and sets the stage for deliverance to follow…Turning away from something is always arduous and heavy…This is a difficult and heavy time…reverse direction.” Gather with allies, and so we shall. “Hold the heart fast and take the risk. Nurture the new.”
Without presumption or hubrus let us participate in sealing the Gulf breach, the volcano of hellish devastation. May 18th, Saturn trine Sun in Taurus, the healing of boundaries wants to happen…But in a way that irrefutably humbles and astounds humans, the pre-requisite is vows to mend our ways of relating.
All Beings: “You are in the middle of great difficulties, about to give up. New spirit and partners will soon be there to help you. What you are doing is very important. Don’t give up now. Stay humble and connected to facts. Release bound energy. Dissolve obstacles to understanding. The situation is already changing.”
“Our problem is not primarily that there’s a stuck valve in the bottom of
the Gulf of Mexico. That’s a terrible problem,” McKibben told HuffPost. “The
bigger problem is that there’s a stuck economy based on fossil fuels that
the president hasn’t really done anything major yet to fix… The problem
is that the whole system is dirty from beginning to end…
The Senate has been cobbling together tepid climate-change bills while
President Obama sits on the sidelines, McKibben said. “Now is the moment
when he could galvanize the nation. He could say: ‘Let’s really learn from
what’s happened in the Gulf. Let’s think about the way that we’re turning
all the oceans of the world acid at a rapid rate by pouring carbon into the
atmosphere. Let’s think not only about those coal miners in West Virginia,
but also about what burning coal is doing to people all over the world.’ “
We work to reverse all tyrannical constraint, within and without, in the sea, the Obama, the World.

Travelling by email this week are these lovely words by Clarissa Pinkola Estes:
“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.”
I love it: “Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times.”
– Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Hey Karen thanks, this spoke so strongly to me. Just signed in so i haven’t yet listened to tonight’s gathering. I have read Caroline’s words and as always are allowing them to steep, that I may be in touch with all their subtle flavors.
SMITHEREENS, a word that won’t leave me alone.
An arrow cast to attempt the art of bless and eloquence for all creation:
“When our spirit’s light is shattered to smithereens and grief fills every space between, then may our wise animal hearts open and supple be as our shining star is recast and healed again.”
I had decided that I would lose all of my marbles when Caroline chimed in just in time,
“Ah no, don’t provoke Pluto that way.”
Caroline, so wise. Thank you for the reminder.
My goat fur now combed and smoothed, shiny again, after reveling in the gifts you have given us this week.
Thank you Caroline! A breeze of exactly what I needed has blown into my head and settled there, my marbles are soothed and staying put. How quickly the spirits and partners showed up. I’m grateful.
A fierce, potent and hard ride my pony galloped us thru this past week+. It is ancient material. Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, devotee of life, nature, thank you!
I swim with Rebecca in Portland who has hosted trauma. Blessings, hugs and healing to you! I swim with Michelle as she scans a life she doesn’t recognize, blessings and safe journeying to you. I’m stand and sit with all of you. And thank you for being here with me.
Somehow we made it here.
Karen, Clarissa Pinkola Estes images are potent and resonate, thank you.
I’ve not been joining you this past month+ on the Monday conversations as I’m teaching a monday night class. I wish to rejoin you soon on Mondays, so it will be so.
May peace and love flow in your hearts and lives.
Lovely Lucy and all Allies here~
I have invited the Rainmaker-shaman to sit by the pool that is my heart. We breathe together as I attempt to bring my heart into balance, allowing the cauldron’s flame to burn through the masks of attachments…(I too highly recommend “The Godfather of Kathmandu”)
The masks of attachments? These are the things Inanna left at the 7 gates into the Underworld:
On her head she wears the shuggura, the crown of the steppes
Across her forehead her dark locks of hair are carefully arranged.
Around her neck she wears the double strand of beads.
At her breast she wears the double strand of beads.
Her body is wrapped with the royal robe.
Her eyes are daubed with the ointment called, ‘Let him come, let him come.’
Around her chest she wears the breastplate called, ‘Come, man, come!’
On her wrist she wears the gold ring.
In her hand she carries the lapis measuring rod and line.
…
When she entered the first gate,
From her head, the shruggua, the crown of the steppe, was removed.
Inanna asked:
‘What is this?”
She was told:
“Quiet Inanna, the ways of the underworld are perfect.
They may not be questioned.”
(this continues through the next 6 gates, with always the same response, as follows)
2nd gate: from her neck the small lapis beads were removed
3rd gate:from her breast the double strand of beads was removed
4th gate: from her chest the breastplate called “come, man, come” was removed.
5th gate: from her wrist the gold ring was removed
6th gate: from her hand the lapis measuring rod and line was removed.
7th gate: from her body the royal robe was removed.
Quiet Rebecca, the ways of the underworld are perfect. The Taoist Rainmaker nods and breathes; his breath ripples across the dark moon that my soul reflects this day.
Sorry–aroungd her neck she wore the small lapis beads…(I doubled up the double strand of beads…)
I am not able to access the last teleseminar. I have a new unimanigable password, would it be possible to change it? The old one no longer works and this one requires a memory or drugs I no longer have access to. But the main thing is how do I get to hear a Teleseminar I am not present to listen to? For the next two days I am near a high speed line, after, I’m home and on dial up which means I can’t catch it. Thanks, Rowan
