Let our Craft be our Craft!

As Max Dashu reminds us:
Craft means “power from dedication”…

George Hanson ‘Women Sailing’ c 1940s (O:L)

and craft also means our skookum little boat,
that with reciprocal blessing support –
as Robert Bly reminds us, we gratefully, humbly
receive the generous help available
“to keep our small boat afloat –
when so many have gone down in the storm…”

Anything that has a name – has a god, Intelligence
(or whatever preferred metaphor)..
and tis fun to put “craft” after many things…
astrology craft
writing craft
influencing collective towards sane reverence-craft…

all the gods are perking up their ears,
as we reference…
available for wheeling and dealing…

and I found great effective fun:
wherever we see the word “warrior,”
replace with the word “Mars.”

“Those who practice the Art of Peace
must protect the domain of Mother Nature,
the divine reflection of creation, and keep it
lovely and fresh. Warriorship gives birth to
natural beauty. The subtle techniques of a
warrior arise as naturally as the appearance
of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
Warriorship is none other than the vitality
that sustains all life.”

(Morihei Ueshiba, The Art of Peace)

Mars is “none other than the vitality
that sustains all life.”

 

Really Liberating… and Mars in Virgo,
allied with Sun and Venus, resonates!

(How long will we have wars?
As long as we keep using war metaphors!)

Time to sift through all the knowledge
and lore of our dedications…

We be agents of the glorious order
that suffuses creation….

As poet translator of Tao Teh Ching,
Wytter Bynner, re-minds:
“Let life ripen, and then fall –
force is not the way at all.”

Sphinx Time…
Let’s remember interesting questions asked of us,
in our journey..

Small curious phrases we remember…
that might be surfacing now…

flotsam and jetsam tossed on-shore
by the dark of Moon tide,
for us to sort, arrange into animistic altars…

This Dark of Moon, is back-stage
to Friday’s New Moon

The beginning of our
Grand Trines in Earth….

Let us be collaborative Guiding Patterners….

p.s. Crazy about the 6’s…
FDR’s Saturn is 6 Taurus…
Green New Deal humming….
Let’s conjure….

Desire to co-animate my
NCGR Talk-Ritual on Sunday
(for all of us, wher’ere we be)

(Chart is alive, when I was considering
whether to bold move – trek to Baltimore
to give talk Sunday-woo-hoo,
it’s wagging its tail… Partnering…
whatever we want – wants us…)

as well as snake Medicine 3…
