Waxing Marie Laveau*9/11*Harvest Full Moon*
N. Carolina election*Saturn stationing*Week!
Tonight! Michael Stuart Ani
(looks) will be co-cahooting with us again
for us to consider
Trickster response to earned despair…!
Our greatest protection in
Navigating the Underworld Ghost Rivers
is our dedication to our craft.
(and dark humor quips!)
(On-going metaphor to envision:)
That our Craft be our Craft!
Rainforest and river scene, L. Fonseca
Most ancient Detective Novels –
guide, “authenticity!” that’s the thing –
the antidote to the con,
within and without…that keeps us safe…
Our aspirational dedication
to practice…practice…practice!
all the guidelines to which
we plight our troth – tonight!
Why Not?!
Absolutely can be private-inward,
chanted to self, written in journal,
set up in altar…
With the understanding that we cannot
even be ourselves – alone…
but to place our dedication on the
Altar of Desirable Mystery..
with the exhortation/invocation:
“O spirit of Woof that animates the Multiverses
(or in whatever way, each of us may craft
our intimate form of addressing
Big Mystery, aka “God,” or VALIS)
animate this template,
guide/hold me to this dedication…
a steady tiller, through the waves…etc….”
And, bien sur:
practicing our customized
Trickster Sufi Aikido….
* Magic is a willingness
to cooperate with everything
*Let any ugly kerfuffle
be an incentive to experiment
to create Beauty….
invite redemptive blessing etc.
(for instance)
*Magnetizing the jaunty return of our Goat
(whenever might have been gotten)
*Inviting all corruption into cauldron,
with the invitation for it to become
in service to the beautiful, useful, ingenious…
*Cultivating Metaphoric Agility
*releasing resistance to disruption,
but spiraling into dangerous dare-devil
dancing accord…

*Let every thought, word, activity
be measured (playfully) against
– “authentic” – feels liberating,
v “con of constraint”- feels imprisoning
(sneaky internalized colonialism —
which we toss into Pluto’s cauldron…)
Tis fun to play with word craft…
not denying difficulty, but critique –
and healing strategy blessing….
Sun in Virgo (at Ouija Board Degree)
-exactly opposite Neptune:
*Linguistic precision guides the vision….
Hermes (Mercury), Gianbattista Tiepolo (1696-1770)
Mercury on Barack Obama’s Mars
and US Neptune that we may animate
the soul of this country – its best Vision….
Mercury sesquiquadrates (135°) Uranus –
that the soul of compassionate ingenuity
be planted in every realm….
7 Earth planets – Good Grief – let’s bring in
some wind, of change, not havoc,
some waters of life – not death….
Marie Laveau, Dannie Cox
Let’s continue our experimental
wheeling and dealing –
which brings us to Marie Laveau,
the great voodoo Queen of New Orleans,
whose birthday it is tomorrow,
on the occasion of the
North Carolina corrupt election – re-do…
Let’s invite her in as an agent of
authentic vote counting,
that any up-to-no-good be revealed,
rendered harmless, brought to accountability,
and be an occasion of mirth!
