Honoring eeriness:
“the eeriest novel I’d ever met.”
“For the “Old Ones” – the warriors of the Light – are drawn from every country and background, and it is a Jamaican Old One who gives to Will an object of immense power, without which his quest cannot be completed.”
Here’s my most kinned Old One
Aeons ago in Mexico, all our Mayan friends playfully referred to me as
“Hue Hue Coyotzin,”
(“ancient revered Coyote”),
and that was before the noble Wolf Dog, Moon Dog, and Stella Coyote came to live with me for 19 years…
Myth magnetizing molecules, as it be wont to do…
Tis said of Iris, the Rainbow Goddess ( who bestows our word “iridescent.”)
that she can take messages from the Underworld to Heaven, and back, because she doesn’t live either place…
Let us speak of dedicated lives…
Messengers betwixt worlds
and the Stillness that beckons…
Time is motion, stillness is eternity… The Solstice is the dance…betwixt….
The Dark Still Point of the Year (Sol Stice – stands still), calls us to inhale back our attention….
Here’s timely considerings, for us to reclaim our attention…

“The Great Delusion Behind Twitter: What Twitter can learn from Quakers” {Opinion: NY Times}
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/11/opinion/what-twitter-can-learn-from-quakers.htmlThe Great Delusion Behind Twitter
“Shouldn’t something, anything, have gotten noticeably better in the short decades since these (social media) services fought their way into our lives?
I think there is a reason that so little has gotten better and so much has gotten worse. It is this: The cost of so much connection and information has been the deterioration of our capacity for attention and reflection. And it is the quality of our attention and reflection that matters most.”
“Attention, in this sense, is a collective resource; it is the depth of thought and consideration a society can bring to bear on its most pressing problems. And as with so many collective resources, from fresh air to clean water, it can be polluted or exhausted.”
Attention, reflection, reverie….
To participate in the space reverie of Jupiter at the last degree of the Zodiac 29+ Pisces…
Before Jupiter’s entrance into Aries, Dec. 20th, the Day before the Solstice…
What of so many possibilities, shall we
woof….
Chiron stations direct on December 23rd’s New Moon…
So the Mentors be with us, like the Magi, wending their way..
(Mentors antidote to dementors)
December 23rd, as a few of us know, is Cats’ Christmas…
(When we invite humans over, and everyone brings presents for cats, and reads aloud some-thing they love…)
So many places and beings to honor, in the spirit of Jupiterian spirit wandering, let’s see where we go..
Definitely Sag- Pisces conversations etc
Kropotkin
Brittney
Stephen Buhner
and all that would like to confer with our council…
Beau is such a good guide of liberating lucidity
Let’s talk about Griner, Whelan, and Bout…. {Youtube}

Remember last Monday’s Council, we played, “all the prison doors were open…”
Brittney’s release…
Let’s keep it going…
for Alaa Abd El Fattah
and the many young people whom Iran is imprisoning, and executing, for small powerful things, a music video, handing out candy… for supporting women….
journeying loss, navigating grief, as tis a River,
honoring deeply dedicated life…
and as the Dark is Rising, I live in such a cute hood, that Santa visits every year..
to chipper up our spirits…
and always love the Cats staging themselves in the Nativity…
