Re-membering May Day Beltane!
Dark of Moon – Deep Cavorting Council for we who have come to be agents of Beauty and Blessing…in a frolicsome, goat gamboling manner.

 

 

May Day, Beltane (actually May 4th/5th this year, when the Sun will be at exact mid-season, 15+ Taurus)
is the Spring-time Halloween, one of the four cross-quarter holy days, called the “four gates of power,” when the power of each season is especially eager to be invited to dance from back-stage to on-stage.

 

(and always for our enrolled Australian allies – you be carrying the mirror opposite of completion…Tis mid-Fall, reminding us of the poignant, precious oppportunities we have now.)

 

 

’Tis always good to perform dedicated acts of beauty, but especially now-ish. Micro be fine to connect with macro. A humble vase of flowers serves as an invitation for powerful beauty to enter the world. Venus magnetizes, Mars animates…
“By the placing of these (fill in blank…flowers, rocks, shells etc.), may (fill in the blank) – enter the world!”

And always, when we don’t know, excellent effective all purpose invocation be grand: “May that which is best for all beings enter the world!” whooom….

 

Mercury retrograde: We send out a call, and enter into reverie to receive response….Taurus reminds us of animism – everything is alive, and whatever we speak to will talk back, in shape, form, color, dream.
That we may all cahoot to re-animate Conscious Kinship.

“Listen for your Destiny – and when it calls- release your plans!”

(says someone whom I would attribute, if I knew whom.)

 

Planets retrograde can be thought of as going on a Vision Quest to re-gain their liberated authenticity (Mercury, our voice, Saturn, our definition of wise leadership, Mars – the wise yang hero, Pluto – wise directing of power for collective good, Jupiter (stationing) – our Medicine stories – the clues in our loves that bring us to understanding our gifts.

Jupiter stationing this week to resume forward motion – is a grand opportunity…Whatever we dedicate to now – will enter the world as we approach Mid-May…
(We shall play in this realm tonight! Consider desirable manifestations for self, neighborhood and world.)

We are re-minding ourselves that we are here to encourage, and embody: sensual embrace of all that is luscious.
The Taurus glyph (circle with horns) is actually (not a bull) but a depiction of the womb and the fallopian tubes. “Why be born? why does creation bother to create?”
Taurus says, “for pleasure! For fur and mangoes and the dance of the yab and the yum in sensual incarnational delight!”

Jupiter soaring over-head, reminding us we each carry Medicine Stories, and are agents of both conscious and inadvertent good…

The Taurus-Scorpio dynamic, directs our attention to the use and abuse of collective power…In fairy tales and fantasy, we must know the latter to be agents of the former: To all humans: “We may have gone forth to find evil – and perhaps we did, and may have done bad things, which we release, now…” Amnesty!
As the Wizard says to his friend, (through Ursula LeGuin) “You were the vessel for evil. The evil is poured out. It is done. It is buried in its own tomb. You were never made for cruelty and darkness; you were made to hold light, as a lamp burning holds and gives its light.” You will be well received where we are going. “”Look! In the place of Darkness I found the light, her spirit. By her an old evil was brought to nothing.By her I was brought out of the grave. By her the broken was made whole, and where there was hatred there will be peace.”

Re-re-re-re…How liberating it is to re-define “forgive,” as to mean “to give energy for change!”

Ursula Leguin refers to her characters in “The Tombs of Atuan,” as “strong, willful, lonely souls,” who come to learn that neither man nor woman (Mars and Venus) can go free without the other. We are all in this Dream of Reciprocal Blessing and Mutual Aid- together. A kindness done to one is done to all.

And we honor, tonight, all those dedicated to protecting life, the beauty dynamic peace, sane reverence.
Great Taurus man, Father Daniel Berrigan (“They minded us burning paper v burning children.”) died yesterday;
As always, we cannot live through the dead, but we can invite the best in them to live through us.

Tonight we magnetize and animate the innumerable opportunities so generously proffered to us at this time of Dire Beauty.

 

Let’s toast the world: Majnoun Mazbut Mabsut!

(Crazy for the Divine, of course! content!)
