Greetings Friends – This weekend I am working on having a way-out adventure on the frontier, while never leaving the yard – A paradoxical panoramic pandemonium? Yes, but that’s the magic & mystery of this unusual opportunity we have before us. Don’t just take my word for it, meditate on how you could wander free on the outskirts of everything you know, even if you feel as stable & secure as an emperor with new clothes, in your big screen castle. Come on – Step out with me, on a far-flung escapade, while drawing deeply from the Mother-lode in the backyard. Let’s enjoy the pleasures of unexplored territory as we excavate the power of the familiar.
While we’re at it, we might want to examine how we are being thought into. Did we conjure that mind-morsel, or was it planted there when we weren’t paying attention…?
How about a tip-a-the hat, to lucid logic, impeccable objectivity, & cool, clean, common sense!?! You get the idea – let’s mix in some simple reason, a pinch of compassionate irony, loving satire, & an over heaping dollop of discernment into the stone soup; then we’ll be sure to generate lots of wild karma in balanced sweet splendor.

23 October 2020 – “Speaking with the Stars”: The ‘First Quarter Moon‘ will be visible all evening, left of Jupiter & Saturn, in the constellation Capricornus, setting shortly after midnight.
As night falls, Ursa Major sits with her paws on the ground, making the Big Dipper asterism, which comprises the tail & hindquarters of the bear, appear upright. Above it is the Little Dipper, the backside of Ursa Minor, which appears upside-down so that imaginary water pouring from the Little Dipper would land in the upturned bowl of its bigger counterpart.
The very end of the Little Dipper’s handle (and the Little Bear’s tail) is Polaris, the North Star. It’s the only star in the northern sky that appears not to move as Earth turns on its axis.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY – You tell me…What happened in history today, that YOU think made an impact on world karma?

POD (Poem Of the Day)
~I festoon the grey day
With laser eyes & fierce cackles that call the wind to deliver me
Like a seed blown home
To fertile caverns…
I smell change a-coming
Shapes turning leaves into souls
Sheathed in paper hats torn from the mundane head
Born anew into the eternal flesh
Of freedoms reign
~hag

‘Soul to Soul’ on-line Festival
with the Central Regional Council
& Special Guests
Soul to Soul’ Festival with the Central Regional Council & Special Guests 1pm – 3pm CDT (2pm – 4pm EDT) All Hallows Eve, Saturday October 31st, 2020
Every culture has a festival celebrating their Beloved Dead. For deep in our bones we know that those who have passed through the gates of death want to work with us on the physical world, reminding us that everything physical is an outer expression of spirit.
During this time of year the veils between the worlds are thin, and the spiritual realm beckons. Having put the iron will of Michael to work in our thinking, we now have the courage to look beyond the veil of the material world into the spirit realm, the place of our beginning and our ending, only to begin again and yet again…for every ending is a new beginning.
We will open with some poetry and music played by Carol Kelly, followed by an enactment of an original script by Hazel Archer-Ginsberg, based on indications from Spiritual Science.
We will go into small breakout groups to explore the theme: “Who do you want to be in the new year”.
Eurhythmy Prayer & Halleluiah + more TBA
