Darkening of the Light

 

as we (in the North) journey
towards the Winter Solstice,
the Saturnalia….

 

“What fresh hell is this?!” said Dorothy Parker
when answering the phone.

The war on life waged by the
Dementors of Doom…
would indeed look bleak – but for Magic
(“a willingness to cooperate with everything”)
and were we not in cahoots with Trickster,
keeper of the “powerful magic that
comes in dangerous times.”

May the current assault on the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and,
today, the Bears Ears Monument in Utah
serve as incentive for us to:

* heed David Grimes’ counsel:
“If we’re not having fun –
we’re just not serious enough.”

* offer ourselves in full co-operation
with the Trickster Intelligence
(of the Land, and all we hold dear):
who speaks through the
beautiful sky-earth story
thus:

*Co-operators are standing by!:

Grand trine in water, with the Moon animating,
the “being as skillful as a cat” degree,
trining Jupiter at the convening of the
Renaissance Council degree,
trining Neptune animating:
“In the sanctuary of an occult lodge,
members are being initiated.”

“…There comes a time when life itself demands
of the individual that she or he stand up clearly and
unequivocally to the ideal to which s/he is dedicated.
The initiate thus becomes a constituent part
of an integrated field of mental-spiritual activity…”
(sayeth the gist of Dane Rudhyar, who goes on to
say grumpy things, reminding us that everything
is up for being liberated – Tricksterized.
Study, and set free…be one of our dedications.)

All esoteric guiding wisdom systems are available to us…
so let’s be engaged in Liberating Esoterica…

Our MC is a “Celestial Choir is singing”
with Pallas Athena, “a woman bursting with gifts
more than she can hold,”
next to Trickster Uranus holding
“a double promise;”
opposite Mars at the “person in deep gloom,
unnoticed a glowing circle of angels surrounds them,”
as Venus descends into the Underworld
in the shape of “an owl- seeing in the Dark…”

But wait – there’s many more,

Tonight let’s invite and animate desirable allies.
“Metaphors are the incarnational garb
whereby Power enters the World.”

So let’s (in our mind’s eye) dress as
Amanita mushrooms, harness our reindeer,
hop into our sleighs and take a test romp
into a desirable future. (Honoring Saturn
entering Capricorn – preparing the template
for Uranus entering Taurus in 2018 –
global arising of democratic animism,
with the structures of leadership,
derived from nature, to implement the
renaissance of reverent ingenuity….
That Sane Reverence may prevail.

 

 

Geomagnetic storm while we are convening….
Space Weather News for Dec. 4, 2017

GEOMAGNETIC STORM PREDICTED (G2-CLASS):
A high-speed stream of solar wind is approaching Earth,
and NOAA forecasters say there is a 75% chance of polar
geomagnetic storms when it arrives during the late hours
of Dec. 4th. Periods of moderately-strong G2-class storming
on Dec. 4th and 5th could send Northern Lights spilling across
the Canadian border into upper-tier US states; affect shortwave
radio transmissions at high latitudes; and confuse wildlife
that use magnetic cues for navigation.
