“A party of campers packing their canoes at twilight:
the ability to navigate dark water.”
(be Mercury’s degree)
Here we go most skookum (“connected to the spirits
and completely competent for the tasks at hand”) team!
How shall we animate the desirable offerings
being proffered by the Inaugural chart,
lest we leave them by default
to the dementors…
So much be resonant betwixt now and
Martin Luther King’s chart/life. His Mars is the US Mars.
He’s having his Saturn return opposite that Mars…
The Saturn is not only our story-stirring stick.
‘Tis also our paddle.
Saturn is in a T-Square with the Moon in Virgo
(the witch craft, word craft, ritual magic craft Moon)
and Mars and Chiron exactly conjoining… opening the
passage way betwixt the back-stage dream world and
the incarnationally on-stage world.
The memosphere be one of the great realms
of influence for the Trickster Redeemer within us all.
Indeed the new ancient Citizen Trickster, within all
our hearts is, balancing forward on toes, ready to bound,
with jaunty aplomb. Saturn trining Uranus. We are
conjuring our Wolf pack (us) that completely supports
and protects our Coyote (also us.)
Wolfote be born, our Council ally-colleague-guide.
And
Trickster Raven be steering the trickiness-itself boat:
“The canoe carries the following passengers:
Raven, the traditional trickster of Haida mythology,
holding the steering oar; Mouse Woman, crouched
under Raven’s tail; Grizzly Bear, sitting at the bow and
staring toward Raven; Bear Mother, Grizzly’s human wife;
their cubs, Good Bear (ears pointed forward) and Bad Bear
(ears pointed back); Beaver, Raven’s uncle; Dogfish Woman;
Eagle; Frog; Wolf, claws imbedded in Beaver’s back and teeth
in Eagle’s wing; a small human paddler in Haida garb known
as the Ancient Reluctant Conscript; and, at the sculpture’s
focal point, the human Shaman (or Kilstlaai in Haida), who
wears the Haida cloak and woven spruce root hat and holds
a tall staff carved with images of Seabear, Raven, and Killer
Whale. Consistent with Haida tradition, the significance of
the passengers is highly symbolic. The variety and inter-
dependence of the canoe’s occupants represents the natural
environment on which the ancient Haida relied for their
very survival: the passengers are diverse, and not always in
harmony, yet they must depend on one another to live.
The fact that the cunning trickster, Raven, holds the
steering oar is likely symbolic of nature’s unpredictability.”
And if we squint we can see Martin Luther King,
and Carl Jung with a Raven on his head,
Wolfote – of course in the boat with us…
And let’s imagine whom else we might want to
invite – see with us… as we set forth on our mission,
from which we shall file Scouting Reports from
the wild story maelstrom of now, and the deep deep
dark water into which we are heading…
Someone does a little running push from the beach,
hops in – and off we glide…..swoosh…and beginning
to paddle together….. with a unifying chant…
