The Art of Grief –

Hope and wonder in the face of environmental collapse…

PART 2: Grief Artfully Expressed becomes a Sacrament of Kinship 

Caroline re-welcomes last week’s guest Eiren Caffall, science writer with the soul of a poet, the author of “The Mourner’s Bestiary”

“Lyrical reports from the apocalypse”

“The Mourner’s Bestiary is a meditation on grief and survival told through the stories of animals in two collapsing marine ecosystems—the Gulf of Maine and the Long Island Sound—and the lives of a family facing a life-threatening illness on their shores. The Gulf of Maine is the world’s fastest-warming marine ecosystem, and the Long Island Sound has been the site of conservation battles that predict the necessary dedications ahead for the Gulf. Eiren Caffall carries a family legacy of two hundred years of genetic kidney disease, raising a child who may also. The Mourner’s Bestiary braids environmental research with a memoir of generational healing, and the work it takes to get there for the human and animal lives caught in tides of loss.”

 

Eiren Caffall is a writer and musician based in Chicago. Her writing on loss and nature, oceans and extinction has appeared in Guernica, The Los Angeles Review of Books, Literary Hub, Al Jazeera, The Rumpus, and the anthology Elementals: Volume IV Fire, forthcoming in 2024 from The Center for Humans and Nature. She received a 2023 Whiting Award in Creative Nonfiction, a Social Justice News Nexus fellowship, and residencies at the Banff Centre, Millay Colony, MacDowell Colony (waitlisted), Hedgebrook, and Ragdale. Her novel, All the Water in the World, is slated for release by St. Martin’s Press in early 2025.

Halloween Dark O Moon to New Moon to Election and beyond….
Participatory Astro*Animism

Caroline welcomes long-time ally Heather Roan Robbins, that we may all co-navigate, dedicate, envision,
Inaugurate the most desirable story…good for the Earth and all her FloraFaunaFungiCitizens…

Nemesis be on call…
“Nemesis was the goddess of retribution for, evil deeds and undeserved good fortune.
She was a personification of dynamic balance aroused in men by those who committed crimes with apparent impunity, or who had undeserved good fortune.
Nemesis directed human affairs in such a way as to maintain equilibrium.”

(Kinned to Dark Moon Lilith, the balance point, now at 13+ Libra, whose Sabian be “”tuning in to the social dreams which weave the politics of a situation…”)

Before Nemesis got a bad rap – she was the destroyer of unjust Empire…. Her name was derived from the Greek words nemêsis and nemô, meaning “dispenser of dues.”

“Take the zircon to Foppa – and tell him we ride tonight!” -Richard Farina

Heather Roan Robbins M.Th. is a practical, intuitive, choice-oriented astrologer, interfaith minister, and author of the Starcodes Book, the Starcodes AstroOracle Deck, other books, the weekly Starcodes forecast, and contributes to the We Moon calendar.

Witchen Herbal Lore

This visual talk will dive into the lore, chants, and rituals of sacred plants, including Mugwort, Hypericum, Mandrake, Rue, Vervain, Rowan-berry and the Daturas. The Nine Herbs Charm in Old English, the lybbestre (“medicine woman”) and wyrtgaelstre (“herb-chantress”), among other folk names for women healers.

Herbs of the Midsummer garlands and bonfires; on that Eve, sitting under Hyldemoer, Mother of the Elderberry Tree, to watch for the elven procession pass by.

Italian herbalists who healed with flower oils, Bulgarian vrachky healers, Scots and Irish “fairy doctors,” German “measurers,” and Slavic “whisperers.” Herbalists who sing praise songs to the plants in gathering, tell them why they are needed to cure, and sprinkle offerings into the Earth. We’ll touch on healing by chant, touch, whisking, smoking, lustration, curing stones, tying herbs on with knotted yarn, and “pouring wax.”

Two showings: Thurs 24 Oct at 6pm and Sat 26 Oct at noon (US Pacific Time – check a timezone converter for your local equivalent.)

Registration is sliding scale at https://suppressed-histories.teachable.com/p/witchen-herbal-lore

The Whole Team of Creation is Counting on Us *Full Moon Magic- for necessary miracles….!

Caroline re-welcomes Elaine Mayumi Whitefeather
welcoming Mythic and ancestral allies, Yemaya! Dame Ragnall, Octavia Butler for mega-story re-write, from
dystopian to Renaissance of Reverent Ingenuity….19 days out….

“As a Queer Elder of many colors, I walk and live, love and thrive with the Grace, Wisdom and ongoing guidance of our Star Ancestors; the Wisdom passed onto me from Above and the medicine I have gained from the many teachers from all paths that have led me to my own wholeness and peace. I am grateful to offer their messages to us all-through the books that I am asked to write, the voice I still have to speak it into the winds and the spirit that still burns with the fire and passion of one who seeks to contribute to a new journey, a better dream for all women and consequently, for all our Human Tribe.
The urgency of the moment, the world that is at the precipice of a grand transformation has called me to join the hearts and hands of my sisters, who also find themselves being called to act in this NOW moment. Whatever I can do, whatever I can offer, it is my giveaway at this important time. There can be no greater call for me to answer in this season of my life.

The Next generations and those yet to be born require us all to help each other through the fear and intimidation of the FearCallers’ Dark Night of our Collective Soul and to collectively light the way toward the world all women deserve to live in-Free in Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit. Emancipated to own and to be herself; and sovereign enough to be a light in the darkness for another sister, that she too, can be free.”

Awareness of Danger and Guiding Liberating Narrative

2 Dragons: Caroline welcomes Elaine Mayumi Whitefeather,

Honoring the Power and contribution of multi-racial Women….Especially Now!

Elaine M. Whitefeather shares:
“In the winter season of my life, I am honored to offer service to our Greater Sisterhood – at such a time as this. After spending over 4 decades serving women and children around our Mother Earth, I leave behind a path of advocacy, activism and innovative ways of healing and empowering women rooted in the strengths, wisdom and principles of my multi-cultural heritage, the Red, Black, Yellow and White Winds of me that enabled me to walk in the shoes of many women whose journey through and out of abuse and trauma, I share.

My life’s work has been shaped by the hearts and spirits of women, who honored me with trust and vulnerability as I assisted them toward their own empowerment and emancipation. As a Queer Elder of many colors, I walk and live, love and thrive with the Grace, Wisdom and ongoing guidance of our Star Ancestors; the Wisdom passed onto me from Above and the medicine I have gained from the many teachers from all paths that have led me to my own wholeness and peace. I am grateful to offer their messages to us all-through the books that I am asked to write, the voice I still have to speak it into the winds and the spirit that still burns with the fire and passion of one who seeks to contribute to a new journey, a better dream for all women and consequently, for all our Human Tribe.
