First!
Woo-Hoo Team,
Yea! Brazil Mars! stationing,

Feeling grateful…
Once grateful – we can
Feel the vibration of the time…
to come into accord…
which we shall do together…in alert reverie 
(one of the qualities we want to cultivate to best navigate  the traveling now…)

Day of the Dead

Calling in 
ancestral cahooting….
(all to conjure what one wants to invite, into our gathering on out into world)

Let’s invite ancestor mentors, human, animal
Flora Fauna Fungi Realm….
and High John (I have some High John anointing oil, sent to me by a supportive ally running for office in Ojai)

We remember that participatory animism is available to us (that wasn’t so much in the past Uranus in Taurus elections
1856
and 1940 charts below, for those astro curious)

setting our altars humming…and ballots, in whatever form
Mine are still now coming into dedicated order, in their own timing…
(and is a great antidote to the fractiousness circulating on the surface of collective mind.)

Saturn says : “depression – too shallow, dive deeper
Antidote to depression is dedication…”

Mars quintiles Chiron… will be our Mentor

now through True Halloween to election…

As we dedicate to being calm-weavers…

Our ascendant is “Woman gives rousing speech on behalf of the Earth”

Mars stationing – we are electing, inaugurating a great Mars….
and we all did in Brazil
Bolsinaro today said “doesn’t concede, but allows transition to begin…”
His supporters have set up road blocks
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/11/01/brazil-bolsonaro-election/

Let’s see what metaphoric magic we invite to resolve that, 
and prepare to dissolve, cool out
any nefarious skullduggery
that “anything up to no good fizzle like a wet fire-cracker fart!”

“Let all abusing power be moved to a place where they can no longer harm themselves by harming others!”

Protection!!!!!!

Defusing bombs, and all tense situations, pewter etc shield around all in need…around our votings… and all poll workers etc…
Protective Solace for the Pelosi’s, and all good beings, being stalked as prey…
AOC says she has to sleep in a different place every night…Pramila Jayapal in Portland…and soothings for her doggie, who has been scared of the loud ugliness…

Let us address as a council…

Mars stationing is in mutual reception with Mercury…forming intriguing alliance…

Mars be in Mercury’s sign, Gemini, Mercury is in Mars’ Sign, Scorpio

Let’s co-ruminate on that… Scorpio-Gemini is a worthy conversing…. deep sizzly truths spiraled in to memosphere in conversationally accessible ways, that resonate deeply in the  wise animal bodies of all Citizens…

Mars be our guide connecting us to all the players…
Quincunx Pluto…. requires a mission to alleviate  feeling fried…

Mars continues to quintile Chiron…(Brazil, now, and our election.)
So we open the portals that all wise mentoring enter the realm of collective culture…

And!!! for bonus points

Mars forms a Thor’s hammer, which sweeps corruption out of the halls of governance, 
with Neptune (opposite US Neptune… that the soul of this country may shape-shift into We….)

and the Sun, at the degree, 9+ Scorpio, of America’s secret soul = “fellowship supper reunites old comrades.”)
 

Mars trines Saturn, Moon, Vesta – in cool Aquarius… So we be calm weavers, with cool reflective aplomb, taking nothing personally…
(invoking a portion of the Tale of Princess Perizada… as Faery Tales be most useful guides now)

Saturn on Obama’s Ascendant – Obatala be on his head…
“Weary fire responders finally succeed in quelling a dangerous, volatile force.”

providing the irresistibly eloquent liberating lucidity message frame…(His Mercury quintiles Ceres – he be irresistible when he speak for the earth.)
Indefatigable
and Steadfast
as is Bernie!

Jupiter reunited with Neptune, the two beings who host the Piscean realm,
remind us
flow
flow flow (past the jangly-ness)

If we all get out of our own way – then our path unfurls gracefully before us…
And as ally David Grimes says: “Well we should always get out of our own way – so the will of Heaven can move through us… “

We shall translate…

Visioning!

definitely the Vision to animate (Mars) and spiral forth (Neptune)
with steadiness

And Pat is bringing in steadfastness….a great Taurean quality to contribute, and for us all to cultivate……
Uranus in Taurus says this quality is liberating…

And all of us, from the bottoms of our feet, connecting to the land, where we live, and all those who have lived there/here before..

Let us align with  Tiffany Achen, who overcomes her self-doubt, and finally declares to the land she loves :
“I am your witch!”
And the Land responds “Yea!” in jubilant chorus….

Everyone feel the atmosphere of where we live, and what quality of liberating swoosh would you like us, as a team… to send…
and to invoke
What necessary miracle…?

What Headline in your hood?

We shall animate the Cauldron of irrelevance and oblivion…

We might just unmute everyone to call out….what to toss in, not so much proper names as imprisoning qualities…bamboozlement etc…

and then, bubbling up from that cauldron is`
*Volcano of Magic (Ceres on election day trine Uranus etc.)
emerges in (fill in the blank- Alabama, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Oregon.…)

Let’s invite the land to express her opinions…

And I realize my form of phone advocacy is just calling everyone I know in states of concern (all) – and reminding them that the Team of Creation is counting on them /us
Participatory Animism….
Inaugurate

We are all voting on behalf of what we love…

I love what our election magic accomplice Laura proffers:

Hola, Counselors to the Magic Election Council,

This is Laura in Montana (Sorry no mic or camera).
Mytho-phrenic solitaire self-taught in kitchen-witchery for these 40 years.
Am so thrilled to be in a group that is informed by Terry Pratchett wisdom!
(Just finished rereading “Thief of Time” last week for the billionth time!)

I walk with Bear. Hummingbird flies above.
I invite all plant spirits, soil microbial devas, and cloud ancestors to join in this circle.

I invite the Deva of Democracy
= She requests to accompany us when sending select candidates
Pewter (or other) energy protection and juicing vibrant orange energy
= She will leave her avatar with each of them so, per Pat, even if the election is lost the Thread of Democracy will continue.

My pockets hold hankies.
My Shambles is my life at a crossroads here now-ing
In a pile of symbolic bits
In a circle on the floor
Included the 2022 mail-in ballot
Delivered yesterday for the new moon!
Woo Hoo! Yea, Democracy!

“How to Make the New Reality Enticingly Fun” suggestions:
– There is an enormous amount of infrastructure upgrade money coming to many communities. Invite local citizens to get involved in how they want these projects to happen. Making it fun making it better!
– Ask the amazing folks at Clowns without Borders for ideas on how to make the emerging changes fun!
– As Calvin and Hobbes conversed: “They say the world is a stage. But obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing lines.” “ Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re in a tragedy or a farce.” “We need more special effects and dance numbers!”

“Think Abouts” for Future Considerations:
1. Create a magical energy support group for all the devoted, fried, frayed middle management (often women) & maintenance people who know how things work, get things done and keep things going:
nurses, teachers, care givers, day care, bookkeepers, etc; those keeping local governments, NGOs and small businesses running.

(An unraveling is occurring because the elders, who created/maintained the systems of how things work, are retiring, dementiaing, or dying off; the youngers, neglected by training systems failures, are incapable of assuming responsibility and accountability;
and everyone lost in covid fog and digital unreality. “The Era of the Great Forgetting”.

2. Is homegrown fascism the shadow of Democracy? If not, what is and how do we honor and accept it with the US Pluto Return?

3. What do the star charts look like for the Jan 2023 and Jan 2025 inaugur – ations?

For Caroline:
– I agree! Biden’s the best liberal president ever!
– Absolutely loving your awesome ‘ooosha’ energy release sound! This is the ‘third time’ for this sound for me: first heard in the “Bad Boys II” film as a ‘mantra’ to help them release their anger and then in the documentary “Eagle Hunters” as the sound she makes to call her hunting eagle. I love life’s delightful synchronicities!

2022 Candidates for magical protection and support:
– MT Representative: Monica Tranel
– MT Senate Dist 49: John Schneeberger
– MT Supreme Court: Ingrid Gayle Gustafson
– Ravalli County Elections Clerk & Recorder: Regina Plettenberg
– Brazil Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva

Contributions from Council

From Rita

While listening to Sean Padraig O’Donoghue recently speak of the qualities of “Rose” and it’s being a helpful green ally because of its qualities as a Heart Opener, as well as Protector, I imagined infusing The Statue of Liberty’s crown with such

From Delia:

Scouting Report

here is a little ditty to sing. Let’s all sing

to the turn of row row row your boat:

 

Row Row Row your Boats

Gently through this Vote

Humbly Humbly Humbly Humbly

Who shall we de Mote

or

What shall we Invoke

 

It’s a merry little tune and I’ve been finding it useful to sing softly while walking.

 

Post-Council Themes

Yo Team,

we are still checking on Lovely Rita!,

seeing her in replenishing deep grief solace slumber…

embraced by us all… We don’t have her phone number…but am sending an ally in Eugene to go check,

see if she needs anything…

And Pat suggests to us all…

If anyone feels in need of team support, feel encouraged to email…literally or telepathically…

and we shall waft whatever be needed…known or unknown…

So wonderful team o Trickster accomplices….

all that everyone says, inwardly-outwardly…

So here be my beginning altar

In center is Nation’s Capitol…

encourage all to protect your state houses,

all voting sites, poll workers, Citizens… a little ring of tobacco or cornmeal, or anything really into which one intends protection, and truth telling – sooth-saying…

remember shambles likes a living being to animate…

“Good dervish,” answered the princess, “I have heard such glowing descriptions of these three things, that I cannot rest till I possess them.”

“Madam,” said the dervish, “they are far more beautiful than any description, but you seem ignorant of all the difficulties that stand in your way, or you would hardly have undertaken such an adventure. Give it up, I pray you, and return home, and do not ask me to help you to a cruel death.”

As to this, I think I have enough self-control to look straight before me; but as it is quite possible that I might be frightened by the voices, as even the boldest men have been, I will stop up my ears with cotton, so that, let them make as much noise as they like, I shall hear nothing.”

“Madam,” cried the dervish, “out of all the number who have asked me the way to the mountain, you are the first who has ever suggested such a means of escaping the danger! It is possible that you may succeed, but all the same, the risk is great.”

“Good dervish,” answered the princess, “I feel in my heart that I shall succeed, and it only remains for me to ask you the way I am to go.”

Then the dervish said that it was useless to say more, and he gave her the ball, which she flung before her.
