the warmth and magic of fire

Vicki Noble:

“since it is traditionally a visionary night, who knows what I might be shown in the flames?

I have always told my students that the way to celebrate the potent cross-quarter holy-days is to make space and allow the sacred energies to work in your life. In other words, it doesn’t matter what kind of ritual you do, as long as you let the ritual do you! An ancient favorite tradition that I always keep is to hang a silk scarf outside that night to absorb the power as Brigid passes in the night and touches us with Her healing energy. Then the scarf is used for the rest of the year as a repository of transformation and renewal.”

 

Moon occults Mars, and is as close as will be to Mars all year… tonight
(visible in Southern part of this country)

that Mars be guided by, shine through Big Momma, protector of life…

Here be a wowza fiery Rumi exhortational poem, the quality of seasonal and cultural Mid-Winter, we need now…
shared by ally, Banafsheh, in her dance convening, for her allies in Iran,
to all now who rise/must rise….to dissolve cruelty from the human repertoire…

(and in Persian there is no linguistic masculine and feminine, so Gemini fluid…so tis all he/she, Mars/Venus)

“I seek a lover so in love
that every time she rises,
from every direction she conjures
insurrections full of fire.

We want a heart like a fiery inferno
that burns down the flames of hell.
She’d rouse and churn two hundred seas
and not flee from the crashing waves.

She’d wrap the heavens with her hands like a turban
And the light of immortality,
she’d hang like a resplendent chandelier.

She’d come to the battle like a lion,
with a heart as grand as a whale.
She’d leave nothing but the self
and battle even with her self.

And when she shines her light,
the light that rips away the seven hundred veils of the heart,
from the celestial throne she’d hear the call:
In the name of the Divine, in the name of the Divine!

When from the seventh sea,
she turns toward Mount Qaf,
what precious jewels she’d pour as gifts
unto the Earth from that blessed sea.”

– Jalaleddin Rumi

15 degrees of the Fixed Signs are called the four gates of power, corresponding to the four cross-quarter Holy Days,
Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasa, and Halloween.

Our Imbolc this year, has the Sun, of course at 15 Aquarius (how we time exact Mid-Winter),
and Uranus at 15+ Taurus, the Beltane degree….

The wedding between the powers of Mid-Winter, to call in what strengthens Aquarius, Community,
and
the Powers of Mid-Spring, Taurean sensuality, in service to Participatory Animism…
