Yo Team O Tricksters, at this time of potent narrative guiding auguries…
Here we be:
Winter, Jessica Boehman
Jupiter, Intelligence of Gratitude stationing, now at this Dark o Moon,
deep dreaming our world into being…
Jupiter stations direct- outward expression of inner journey- Wednesday November 23rd on the New Moon tide at 1+ Sagittarius, (“White capped wind over water- larger forces at work, cycles and wave patterns, keeping balance while riding waves…”)
Auspicious – the day before Thanksgiving (Thanksgiving is timed as the 1st Thursday -Thor’s-Jupiter’s Day- after the Sun enters Sagittarius – Jupiter’s outward questing sign. So there be authentic redemption in its timing… Thanks Abe.)
“Dream Big – Play Fair”
So, tis opportunity for authentic Thanksgiving…
composting the colonial triumphalism, and pageantrys of dominance & cruelty – into nutrient for the joyful to & fro of reciprocal blessing that comes alive when we are grateful…
The Sioux Chef : “The thing is, we do not need the poisonous “pilgrims and Indians” narrative. We do not need that illusion of past unity to actually unite people today. Instead, we can focus simply on values that apply to everybody: togetherness, generosity and gratitude. And we can make the day about what everybody wants to talk and think about anyway: the food. People may not realize it, but what every person in this country shares, and the very history of this nation, has been in front of us the whole time. Most of our Thanksgiving recipes are made with indigenous foods: turkey, corn, beans, pumpkins, maple, wild rice and the like. We should embrace this……No matter where you are in North America, you are on indigenous land. And so on this holiday, and any day really, I urge people to explore a deeper connection to what are called “American” foods by understanding true Native-American histories, and begin using what grows naturally around us, and to support Native-American growers. There is no need to make Thanksgiving about a false past. It is so much better when it celebrates the beauty of the present.”
It was the Wampanoag in 1621 who helped the first wave of Puritans arriving on our shores, showing them how to plant crops, forage for wild foods and basically survive. The first official mention of a “Thanksgiving” celebration occurs in 1637, after the colonists brutally massacre an entire Pequot village, then subsequently celebrate their barbaric victory. Years later, President Washington first tried to start a holiday of Thanksgiving in 1789, but this has nothing to do with “Indians and settlers, instead it’s intended to be a public day of “thanksgiving and prayer.” (That the phrase “Merciliess Savage Indians” is written into the Declaration of Independence says everything we need to know about how the founders of America viewed the Indigenous Peoples of this land.) It wasn’t until the writer Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded President Lincoln that the Thanksgiving holiday was needed and could help heal the divided nation that it was made official in 1863. But even that was not the story we are all taught today…”
**************************
We may peruse the stars of 1621- divine the resonant guiding for now… Our Mercury Venus conjunction exactly trines Uranus …kinned to Biden’s Solar Return rising…
*******************
On earth as it is in Heaven… Honoring the dance of Jupiter and Neptune, in ever more participatory ways…
******************************
Let us Consider:
When Neptune-Jupiter…exactly conjoined April 12th 23 _ Pisces (next exact conjunctions will be in 2023, July 22nd and Nov 5th ( both in Taurus…What dreams to incarnate into sensual embodiment?)
The NYT headline was “Neptune missile – a big deal”
Truly the “News” be Mythic…
“The stamp is a sensation, a piece of history. It is also seemingly imbued with supernatural powers. It went on sale on 12 April. The following evening Ukraine launched two Neptune anti-ship cruise missiles from a secret location. They slammed into the Moskva, skewering the mighty shark. According to radar images, the battleship was about 80 miles south of Odesa, in the neighbourhood of Snake Island. Russia had not anticipated such an attack; indeed, it appeared to think it impossible. It was Kyiv’s most audacious strike since Putin’s invasion began.
The Guardian: ‘Russian warship, go fuck yourself’: what happened next to the Ukrainians defending Snake Island?
“Images filmed in the aftermath show a plume of black smoke rising from the vessel. The ship’s lifeboats were deployed. How many of its crew survived is uncertain. What is sure is that the boat sank in the early hours of 14 April while being towed back to Sevastopol. An embarrassed Kremlin claimed a fire had broken out, causing munitions to explode. The boat had gone down in stormy seas, it said. Ukrainian officials I spoke to were publicly coy about what happened and privately jubilant. The Moskva was the first Russian flagship to be sunk since the 1905 Russo-Japanese war and the largest Russian boat to be lost in conflict since 1945. It had descended to the bottom of the Black Sea, joining sailing ships and barques from antique times. Or, put another way, the Moskva had fucked off.”
……
also, scampering around….in Jupiterian hunt and gather fashion:
Happy Birthday yesterday- Joe Biden, Benoit Mandelbrot (Father of Fractals) and our own Back-stage Badger, Richard Olson…So curiously – they share similar solar returns
“When life gives you demons – make demonade!” When life gives you trolls – make troll gumbo, and cackle as you stir…in that way be they liberated from the thrall of trolldom…
Halleluyah! Jupiter stations in its Piscean Realm of Reverie, and all the myths, faery tales, dreams, music that have ever elicited the better angels of our species…be available for fresh expression….
Better angels have a Thor’s hammer (Mars, Neptune, Moon) – So they be kick-butt better angels…
The Sun prepares to enter Sagittarius, the outward questing Jupiterian Realm… joining Venus and Mercury, already there, camping out together at 7+ Sag.
“In the Cauldron of the Earth, New Metals are Forming- alchemy- inner brewing…”
So the alchemy of Thanksgiving cooking be already bubbling…
And Mercury and Venus, soon emerging in the Western gloaming, quintile Saturn (woo-hoo exactly 72 degrees!!!)…
So the alchemical experiment is stable…
as long as it be dedicated to conviviality (around all our gatherings)
Saturn’s image is: “A White Dove Descends bearing a message of Peace.”
Peace through Play
and always Participatory Trickster in Play:
Yes yes, let’s get in the spirit of lap-top-fest… and that we can only ask of others what we would require of ourselves… All those who want to see Hunter Biden’s lap-top, must, henceforth! – turn over their own…Fun!
