Ancient Mythic News of Now:

Holy Spirit Descends as a Fiery Dove  (aka pigeon) onto the head of each apostle, granting them the capacity to understand and speak all languages!

What  generous proffered templates for our imaginative animation.

And let’s extend the fiery pigeon’s gift beyond the realm of human languages, to the language of all beings, the language of water, through which all beings now speak to us. Yesterday was Whit Sunday/Pentecost, one of the beginnings to the Grail Legend, when the White Stag gallops into the center of Arthur’s Court. We see him now in our Mind’s eye, fixing Arthur (our Bear selves) with his task-bestowing gaze, as Nature’s Emissary. And Arthur responds by saying, that’s it, we gotta heal the Wasteland, everyone “oot and aboot” into the Woods (“where it was darkest for them.”) “And no one eats supper until they’ve had an amazing adventure and tells the story.” he yells after them/us.   Neptune Stationing tonight at the, “girl with a trumpet- calling in a new tide of energy” awakening all the dormant guiding myths and music. (And cahoots with Mars at the “Coal Miners emerging from a deep mine into the Sunlight,” yes that be our metaphor as literal energy policy.) Mercury stationing in Big Momma Cancerian realm of re-membered kinship, trining stationing Neptune in home realm of Pisces. Both are retrograding. Mercury until July 2nd, Neptune until November 16th. They join Saturn retrograde in Scorpio until July 20th. Let’s consider retrogrades, apparent motion backward from the earth’s illusory vantage, as guiding-suggesting to us to that the quality of Intelligence of Mercury and Neptune, and Saturn are most effective, inward, back-stage.

So here we are. Fellow aspiring agents for the Trickster Redeemer. What would we like to redeem? resolve? reverse? re-spect? (p.s. As Mercury was stationing I went to my friend John Henry’s hand hewn amphitheater, which had its debut with a performance of Gallileo. Pertinent. Very Boys. Fortunately the Moon and Mars were conjoined over the performance, completing what was lacking. Will file scouting report. Invite Galileo and Giordana Bruno to help us recover from the Inquisition, under which they were prosecuted, which rent science from poetry, myth astrology. And on the way home on Pentecost Sunday I heard a charming radio interview with Debbie Blue, author of “Consider the Birds.” Birds in the Bible. That dove is actually pigeon, not white, the sacred common place, and primary image of “god” hovering over the waters of life. That what said “vulture” in Bible was “improved”/translated as “eagle.” More respect for Vultures please….and  by having re-spect for the undervalued, dissed and mis-translated, contributes to healing the Wasteland.
