The Blessing Of Mythic Medicine Women:

The East Wind Wafts Mary Poppins (and P.L. Travers) into our Home Hearths

 

After the talk: the replay will be available here:

 

Welcome! Moon in Cancer: all that is nourishing-fluorishing, re-assuring, fiercely kind, alleviating pain, and formidably protective of life,  –  Mothering Intelligence!

 

We are invited to return to the comforting embrace of Big Mama, Mami Wata. And we accept that invitation to be strengthened by her, that we may be agents of sane reverence.

(And Today is my Mother’s Birthday – “Happy Birthday Ancestral Mummy!”)

 

Grand Trine in Water, (Moon-Jupiter, opposite Venus and Pluto, trune Mercury retrograde and Neptune and Chiron) deep – lovely, even unto feeling-acknowleging sorrowfully the harm our species has done in its war on life. “In all things great and small we see the Beauty of Divine Expression.”- (statement 6 on the Pattern on the TrestleBoard)
Last night on CNN, of all things, I watched “Black Fish,” one of the most tragic films I have ever watched, truly heart-wrenching, as it delineates what we have done to Orcas for the sake of greed and spectacle. And I recommend watching, cause we gotta know, to forgive (“give energy for change”) and begin to heal and make amends.

 

Venus leads, rather than Mars face-off, let all conflicts be resolved by Blessing and Beauty Poker.
Here’s a poem, a piece of music. “I hear the beauty of your song – and raise you one – here’s another!”

Part of our medicine story brew:
ally Mary Magavern contributed:

— two quotes, both from Daniel Deronda by George Eliot —

“… the fuller nature desires to be an agent, to create, and not merely to look on: strong love hungers to bless, and not merely to behold blessing.”

“… what he felt was a profound sensibility to a cry from the depths of another and accompanying that, the summons to be receptive instead of superciliously prejudging. Receptiveness is a rare and massive power, like fortitude…”

 

Our public discourse has been out-sourced to muggledom, even amongst our good-hearted team, all full of pre-emptive failure, and despair,abdicating the power of language, blessing and desirable vision,(until now! we jauntily chime-in)
So it behooves us to do the back-stage mojo desirable envisioning – and so we shall.
