Long-time ally, frequent radio guest, our fellow Trickster Council member, my skookum Middle Eastern guide,
Deborah Felmeth,
returned from 3 months of defiant joy in Syria will co-cahoot with us tonight!
We are dedicated and dedicating….
We may be daunted – but Trickster within us is ready.
Our beautiful new long-time fellow Trickster Cahooter, Patricia Rothchild, posted a beautiful article on our Facebook page. She wrote “ ‘We’re one tribe here’ is a concept few herd, pack or flock animals resist, when it’s presented well.” (Read Pat’s article below) http://www.listentoyourhorse.com/ode-to-spent-hens/
How splendid to convene now, as Mars (animal vitality, anger transformed into desire, general protector woofiness) rises to the occasion, as an agent for Venus, Moon, Chiron, Neptune ingenious compassion…
Coyote’s Journey – Clarence Hostler and Deborah Bince (2001)
Delighted to cahoot at such a terrible and glorious time, truly the time for Citizen Trickster to spiral forth from our hearts.
Yip-Yip-Awoooooo! (says our Wolfote Guide)
P.S. Yo Team, here’s the “welcoming letter” that is being sent to those who enrolled in the Shift Course for Citizen Trickster.
Some of you are enrolled in both, (Our Monday Night and the upcoming that begins this Wednesday, which is adorable…
I am still perpetually pondering the distinction. Both nights be kinned but distinct…
And we aspire to resonate all of the below as well – now… Yip-Yip!
°°°°° °°°°° °°°°°
Citizen Trickster as agent for the Global Rising Renaissance of Sane Reverent Indigenuity, at this time of Dire Beauty!
Ah, fellow aspiring agents of Citizen Trickster! Whoo-wee- what a deft time for us to gather for our Seven Councils, to align with the powerful magic that comes in dangerous times.
– “Everything living comes from the water”
Syrian saying
– Deborah: We danced out all of our rage
We danced out all of our sadness
We danced out all of our happiness
And then we took ourselves home (ready for the new year)
– Sky earth story: Mars is now in Aries after long sojourn in Pisces – Venus exalted in Pisces so bright
– Stella taught us (through loosing WolfDog)
Grief is not sentimentality it is deeper
Her grief increased her appetite for life
Very now!
May our grief give rise to greater desire for vitality, blessing poker, everything
“Salamtak” only your peace
– Salaam (as god) is presence of oneness
When we recognize we are one being / one people / one land
When we realize we are one we can no longer fight each other – salaam – oneness
– Where ever there is mars there is Venus
There is the blessing, the music, the pattern, the exquisite
– “We move in tight spaces with grace” (Deborah’s poem)
– Not fight – but encourage create…make love with something
Cahoot with the choreography of creation
Support their (not fight) Influential dedication
Not resist … in akido aggression and resistance often result in losing
Not protestors – protectors!
– Video – Texas: two sons release their parents after 2 days, mayor apologizes
(post below if you can find it to share with all!)
– Important to be holding multiple stories and narratives at once
– Transform resist to protect
Resist is a reaction – outsourcing your Saturn, autonomy
Protect is an response, an invitation
– During a war…What could we have done differently…creativity
– Deborah: (In Syria) There is great beauty, there are people who wish you meet you right now…
– Corresponding Sky story: Jupiter getting ready to rise in the East on the east coast
(And other planets) and Uranus – Jupiter and Uranus at the rim of the bucket …
Jupiter is Blessing and opposite Uranus is to bring alive in a new way
Uranus’ image: The gateway to the garden of all desired things
The Power of Blessings opens the gateway to the garden of all desired things
They are squaring Mercury, in Capricorn, right next to Pluto … deep, deep
Mercury’s image: A hidden choir singing
With a beautiful quintile to Mars – the feistiness of Mars in service (the protector of) Mercury (peace)

“Salamtak” only your peace
– Shalom / Salaam peace Hebrew / Arabic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0-L-M)
Sallama سَلَّمَ protect (http://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-arabic/protect)
Between the two – almost all ritual sayings use these two words
– Ritual speech – not perfunctory
– Salaam (as god) is presence of oneness
When we recognize we are one being / one people / one land
When we realize we are one we can no longer fight each other – salaam – oneness

More from Naomi Shihab Nye:
Inspirations: https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/text/video-naomi-shihab-nye-inspiration
Nye talks about the themes she finds herself returning to in her poetry, as well as the poet’s civic responsibility: “to continue to encourage a sense of civility among us and a sense of curiosity about one another’s lives.”
