“Dis-Spelling Wetico” –
The Choreography for
Dream Dancing with Demons

 

The Demon Machine dance (U of Melbourne)

 

with a mid-Winter assist from Brigid!
and imminent Candlemas,
when She & Persephone light their candle-
(and dandelions held aloft! with “all forms of light!”)
and begin ascending from the Underworld –
and we with them

(Our Trickster team mate Micah Nilsson,
providing much useful nutrient here.
Yea ! dandelions! and Light!
as we on East Coast brace
for discombobulated Arctic chill)

 

Al-Kemi Article: Brigid and her Dandelions

 

 

February 4th – our next week’s convening will be
true Imbolc/Candlemas, exact mid-season,
one of the four gates of Power, and,
for bonus points a New Moon…

So, with Micah’s guiding
we may even more fully honor
the Brigid Dandelion part of our dream…
This be our relevant teaser…

“On a higher level, the bitterness of Dandelion
and other herbs of Jupiter represents the truth
of a situation, which can often be difficult to digest,
but which is deeply nourishing when broken down
and assimilated. Bitter herbs help us with this process
both literally and figuratively- helping the liver let go
of waste that our bodies cannot use, and our minds
release stagnant beliefs and patterns that no longer
serve our highest good.”

 

 

Which goes well with our tonight …
How bitterness be tonic…

*We welcome our guest contributor
to Trickster Council tonight,
Paul Levy!

(Well done Trickster Team-mates
for encouraging this dance…)

that we may ladle
from the Cauldron of Calamity
myriad strategies for effective dedication
to collective well being.

Paul has more than generously
made his book, “Dispelling Wetiko,
breaking the curse of evil” available to us all;
so feel encouraged to delve, that we may avail
ourselves of this conversational opportunity…
to tease forth guiding strategies…

 

*Download PDF: Dispelling Wetiko by Paul Levy*

 

(And we encourage Paul to share more
from his soon companion book,
“Dispelling Wetiko – for Good!”
as well as the realm of Physics
and Metaphysics getting married…
who then have a child, reverent Science….)

 

“Where there are demons –
is where there is something worth protecting.”
(ally Egyptian poet Yahia Lababidi)

 

“This book brilliantly exposes how the very roots of the madness that is threatening life on earth are ultimately to be found within our own psyche. I love that Paul is taking seriously the profound implications of what it means that all of us are living in a mass, shared dream. His startlingly clear premise challenges me to reflect upon both the world and myself in radically mind-altering ways. Something important is coming through his imagination-filled musings; his visionary insight into the intrinsic genius of our species feels inspired by a truly creative, compassionate, and enlivening spirit. I always look forward to reading Paul’s work; it stimulates me to greater heights of lucidity, disturbs me enough to awaken me out of my complacency, and encourages me to fly on the wings of the creative imagination. The world would be a better place if everyone read this book. His vision is a royal gift for all of us. It makes me want to sing. Bravo!”
—Sting

Paul Levi writes:
“How amazing – the very thing
that is potentially destroying us –
is at the same time waking us up…” (p. 78)

 

But we don’t merely comfortably tra-la-la –
but are enthused to go all the way down.
To retrieve the treasure that is only found this way.

(Paul references Padhma sambhava
liberating the demons into protectors…)

So, very now – Pluto squaring Uranus
(and exactly at 21 + Capricorn
squaring my 21 Libra Sun-Neptune, and
opposing Paul’s 21 Cancer Venus.. Woo-hoo…)

 

Let’s address the metaphor of “possession,”
when Group Mind is intentionally
(see Bat Man Villain Roger Stone etc)
filled with vituperative reactive scape-goating.

(Highly recommended: the fantabulous
wonderfully pertinent movie “Isle of Dogs.”)

 

Calling in Carl Jung shadow work, retrieving,
and re-animating guiding Wisdom traditions,
Myths, Fairy Tales, Balinese folk tales-
that guide us into Redemption of the Demonic…
within and without— even if after death…

 

 

as is the case of the demoness Dayu Dhatu…
(in the fantabulous modernized version
“The Painted Alphabet,” by Dianna Darling)
“Her weapons were the small and large things
across time that can cause a person to lose faith in life.”
“From stuck drawers to planes falling from the sky.”

 

“We strengthen whatever we oppose,”
Ursula leGuin reminds us.

Let’s find and replace “fight” with “dance”…
We might not – yet- persuade grown-ups in
public discourse to do such. But we can
creatively mutter and visualize…such a thing…

 

We be deepening our dedication “to being agents
of cool response in a hot reactive world,”
by Reaching into our bag of Liberating Lightning
to hurl at the closed circle, thus freeing into a Spiral…
(Nature’s way of resolving conflict…)

We also remember –
(Saturn squares Mars, but Jupiter trines) that

“Ughhh precedes Aaaah”

and that kerfuffles, small and large
serve as incentives to experiment…
whereby to enliven and expand
our repertoire of dance steps…

 

Neptune and Jupiter (NASA)

 

Tonight’s chart has Neptune, Intelligence of
“We are all in this Dream Together”
squaring Jupiter in Sagittarius –
the outward staging of inward collective dynamic…

22+ Virgo Rising = America’s Neptune,
the Soul of this country is eager to dance with us…
and receptive to blessing…

on a Magic Carpet
(Sun quintile Mars at the flying carpet degree)

with a Soundtrack provided by the
Music of the Spheres (Uranus’ stationing degree)

So that we can all prepare a
“Sermon on a Mount,” (Moon’s degree)
as a “Bluebird of Happiness,” (Venus’ degree)
wafts around our head…

Outward-Inward questing…

 

 

*Let’s aspire to a finale of informed,
creative blessing to spiral forth into the memo-sphere…
(and we shall aspire to a boundaried convening
of one hour, a lot in a little.)

Chris Rock reading James Baldwin’s letter
to America that ends with:
“For this is your home, my friend.
Do not be driven from it.
Great men & women have done
great things here and will again
and we can make America
what America must become.”

From last Thursday’s Radio:

***See Radio Chart & Themes on Trickster Training***

Caroline hosts Paul Levy, a worthy conversing about “evil,” and the strategy of our collective inhaling of leadership back from the demonic… Paul is the author of “Dispelling Wetiko – breaking the curse of Evil,” and “Quantum Revelation” – “A radical synthesis of the realms of quantum physics, alchemy, shamanism, Buddhism, Kabbalah, mystical Christianity, and the works of C.G. Jung and Philip K. Dick.” Dispelling wetiko into nutrient compost for a culture of responsive reverent ingenuity… that we may address the “evil” of our current government, possessed by monstrosity that feeds on cruelty. https://www.awakeninthedream.com/
