Dark o Moon
time of prophetic brewing
with
the deep fun mega-animism….
encouraging
more profound liberating
cultural high jinx…
*animism – not a belief,
but manners….
manner of relating – ally etiquette
(Bottom, IC, of our convening chart…)
“In the midst of a wild windstorm a stranger
walks into town, wearing a silk top hat,
carrying a large black bag – Doctor-Magician”…
Co-Operator with Nature’s guiding Genius….
*Sucking the hot volatility out of rallies and riots
supported by Moon quintile Venus…

We have Venus and Mars in powerful cahoots,
setting in the West, visible after sunset…
engaging the Saturn Uranus square…
(and then Uranus quintiles Jupiter,
so much liberating grace available…)
Re-minding us of our increasingly crucial
pertinent dedication to being agents of
Liberating Trickster…
Trickster Medicine is the sine qua non
of all Medicines, because it renders
them all effective.
Re (radio guest) Nancy McLean’s
splendid “Democracy in Chains,”
and was listening to Jane Meyer’s book
“Dark Money,” that also lays out the
organized dementor war on life…
and the likes of Sacha Baron Cohen
and such movies as “Runaway Jury,”
all where up to no good evil is composted
by the triumphant dedicated magic of High Jinx…
and
“Against all odds
are the odds that Trickster loves”

Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
by Wendell BerryLove the quick profit, the annual raise,
vacation with pay. Want more
of everything ready-made. Be afraid
to know your neighbors and to die.
And you will have a window in your head.
Not even your future will be a mystery
any more. Your mind will be punched in a card
and shut away in a little drawer.
When they want you to buy something
they will call you. When they want you
to die for profit they will let you know.
So, friends, every day do something
that won’t compute. Love the Lord.
Love the world. Work for nothing.
Take all that you have and be poor.
Love someone who does not deserve it.
Denounce the government and embrace
the flag. Hope to live in that free
republic for which it stands.
Give your approval to all you cannot
understand. Praise ignorance, for what man
has not encountered he has not destroyed.
Ask the questions that have no answers.
Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias.
Say that your main crop is the forest
that you did not plant,
that you will not live to harvest.
Say that the leaves are harvested
when they have rotted into the mold.
Call that profit. Prophesy such returns.
Put your faith in the two inches of humus
that will build under the trees
every thousand years.
Listen to carrion — put your ear
close, and hear the faint chattering
of the songs that are to come.
Expect the end of the world. Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful
though you have considered all the facts.
So long as women do not go cheap
for power, please women more than men.
Ask yourself: Will this satisfy
a woman satisfied to bear a child?
Will this disturb the sleep
of a woman near to giving birth?
Go with your love to the fields.
Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head
in her lap. Swear allegiance
to what is nighest your thoughts.
As soon as the generals and the politicos
can predict the motions of your mind,
lose it. Leave it as a sign
to mark the false trail, the way
you didn’t go. Be like the fox
who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction.
Practice resurrection.
