i have been less active on this tribe because my attentions have been preoccupied with following through the connections, projects and instructions set in motion by the ritual gatherings to which i offered my artwork as temple-Banners for the Autumn Equinox.
My rhythms are shifting into inner focus mode again, after the completion of summer extroversions...and i have much to discuss with those who are willing...
i feel that i have to learn how to work play and dance more swiftly and strongly just to keep up with the Universe.

  • Sounds excellent! So what is it that you have to discuss?
    • I experienced an extroversion of ritual process

      shifting from the Hermitically Sealed idea of the pentagram ritual, etc. as creating a separation between me and the universe...a sealed laboratory into which i am pouring the energies of invocation...an endothermic reaction that i am feeding

      ...has suddenly become an exothermic reaction radiating in all directions....my daily ritual is now about opening in all directions and welcoming Cosmos and its energies into intercourse, rather than adapting a defensive stance and the desire to seal myself off.

      • I sang my Equinoctial invocation to the Sun
        from the top of a mountain (Angel's Camp, CA)
        after i had snaked my way with lysergic grace and attention
        to the top of a tree...
        I sang the Gayatri Mantra and the Priests adoration from the Gnostic Mass
        while feeling more intimacy with the tree than i think i could have handled
        with another human at that moment...
        Simian Rapture!
        Anamnesis...to recall the full-body erogenous perfection
        of hanging at all angles from a sympathetic tree..
        there are muscle systems that allow you to move your body in spirals upward
        around a tree trunk...
        these got edited out of our awareness during our domestication.
        To regain this form of motion within my body
        is to trigger this form of motion within my mind
        ...
        as it was Equinox, that night i balanced out my Solar invocations
        with Lunar libations
        "O Mother of the Stars
        Smooth out our Flow"

        ...the results of this have been a number of creative collaborations
        and a renovation of my ritual process allowing me
        to work with more of the other shiny beings around me...

        Although i retain my indiosyncratic and private ritual language for my own workings
        i am opening to forms that are less alienating so that i may enter the embrace
        of Group Shakti more frequently...and with a wider variety of other people.
        This is not out of a desire for mediocrity
        but out of an appetite to taste the many new and exquisite nectars
        that Cosmos is manifesting through my friends and new lovers.
      • That sounds excellent!

        I've always been concerned about banishing myself, because if its "this is pure, that isnt" dualism.
        Learning to accept our humanity, in the sense of our native naturalness in all our aspects, has always seemed to me to be basic.

        If I'm good (basic premise), then anything I feel is good, must be good!!!!

        Evil does exist, but its an anomaly.


        So did you read my english kaballah stuff? What do you think?
