Enrolled or not enrolled, seems to hardly matter…
I had the spookiest day… slept through a doc check-up appt.
because the Dream I was having was so real,
and I didn’t want to leave…
We were all there, all of us, known and unknown;
all of us participating, all conversing…
and I was saying very specific things
(all that I have been brewing… Mercury’s journey,
beginning now at this spooky dark of Moon,
with references to degrees, 11+ Scorpio. Mercury stationing now)
Mercury 25+ Libra,
stationing Direct on November 3rd,
out of shadow on November 19th,
back to where it is right now…
The Renaissance Council…
The Gettysburg address….
which is definitely humming...
So, I set forth to be late for Doc,
whose office said, “no," punting to next
week.
So I pulled over on Oxford Street in Glen Echo,
a spooky adorable neighboring hood…
and thought - "ooh, I’ve lived here for so long,
but never been here…to this so close place."
The ruins of the Chautauqua, and Clara Barton’s home.
Dark drizzle, and a spooky wind arose…
Ooh, still in Dream World…
and I saw this photo of what had once been here:
and felt a positive frisson…
That’s where we all were, The Hall of Philosophy…
So I went home, still in the entheo-like Dream Realm journey…
a great place to be...
and set about the 10,000 details, and sifting through
dastardly news, and some humans doing great
and beautiful things…
But then, grew agitated, a squosh panic attack,
and thought I must go back, which I did,
with dogs, at twiilight, to photograph
the Hall of Philosophy placard.. For us all,
and walking on the bridge, over the creek,
where the Hall of Philosophy once was,
I remembered the counsel that
“Demons can’t cross running water.”
Including our own…
Jupiter exactly sextile Neptune,
at this Dark o Moon, on our way to Halloween Full Moon…
The veils are indeed thin…
So I looked up Clara Barton’s birthday, as a divination:
what do we need now, Clara?
And sure enough
her chart be humming:
Sun-Uranus, exact Conjunction
with Neptune one degree away.
Born into an abolitionist family,
goes on to found the Red Cross,
deeply involved in the Civil War, ministering to all.
Her Sun- Uranus,
among my favorite degrees:
“A Party of Campers packing their canoe at twilight -
the ability to navigate Dark Water.” That be us indeed.
and She said:
"I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it…."
So below is our Election Magic council announcement,
if one feels to join - grand -
if not-also grand…
Because we are clearly all in this Dream together…

(11 weeks)
Accepting inquiries, applications... Trickster sorting hat…
Who’s a harmonious fit for this particular experiment?
There will be others in 2021…
We let synchronicity be our booking agent...
"Election Magic" will require actual (yea!) Saturn!;
as each week, in the spirit of Dion Fortune, we will have
* Metaphors to animate,
* Desirable Mythic Headlines to compose,
* Altars to craft,
* Tools to gather...
And circa 15 minutes per day, ritual in solitude, so that when we gather we can all spiral forth together.
Without hubris, or hungry for status, we are willing to play with what we can do, with the resonance of all Mystery Schools behind us… (that we honor by tricksterizing- yip-yip!…)
Many of our mentors ~ Joseph Campbell (with whom I studied), James Hillman (a colleague-buddy, first guest on Visionary Activist Show - a great recording, gratis, for all who might like) ~ gathered many keys, that they be handing to us - to put the keys into the lock…
How shall our practices incarnate into actual good,
dedicated to collective well-being?!
Tuesday we convene & will have a follow up note the following morning, for thematic collaboration...
I'm hiring you to hire me,
so we all get organized…
steady dynamic,
ready for action (like Quan Yin),
ready for danger (like Wrathful Dakinis, who laugh!),
so as to "dree our weird,"
"play our role in destiny."
Twill be guided by participatory astrology… I will be showing guiding beautiful symmetries, between us, the wild ride of now, history, ancestors.
If one is familiar with the astrological language, from beginner to professional,
that is Wonderful!
but not a pre-requisite, as long as one is a good sport.
Everything will be teased into accessible pertinence…
and all queries of clarification,
"What does that mean?" "What are we doing?"
"Why are we here?" - are always welcome…
(and each participant will be sent a cute astrology vocabulary hand book pdf)
Clara is definitely invited:
