regeneration = compost and recycle
Today is the Day of the Dead. Death is the step away from this life into the next. In between those steps is something we rarely discuss in today's western culture: regeneration. However, amusingly, it is making a comeback in other forms. Compost and recycle being two words that edge us closer to regeneration. Its still considered to be messy and smelly, however, at least it is resurfacing.
I took pictures in the garden today of seed pods and what not. I planted seeds in random places to see what might come up next year. The sun is out and the day is warm and beautiful for November 1st.
This year I am going to take a suggestion from a posting I saw. I am going to dig a big hole in one of my beds, bury a Halloween pumpkin in it with dirt in the pumpkin, and plant flower seeds in it. I have dirt from a ritual that needs to be buried and this seems a very appropriate way to compost what is in that ritual dirt.

Samhain ponderings
It is the beginning of Samhain today. Tonight I attend the Daughters of the Goddess Womyn's Spiral Dance in Orinda. (come by and say hello if you are there!)
This is the end of the cycle of the year. The beginning of the dark, quiet, gestating time of the year when root vegetables, apples, walnuts, and pomegranates are in season. When the weather can't decide to be cold or sunny. When the squirrels are so busy burying nuts in my potted plants they barely notice the cats sporting thick fur coats.
The time to reflect, regenerate, and nurture ourselves in preparation for the next year. The time to do divination and ponder where the next year may lead us. The time to honor ancestors and those who have pass on. The time to dress up like a las lobos wild woman and have loads of fun.
I give thanks for the abundance of the past year and ask for blessings for the coming year - blessings of good luck, abundance, and grace.

writing like a demon
Lately, I have found myself writing and writing on my thesis. The topic of women artists who create sacred art and use that art to heal communities and culture has me fascinated. The more I research the more I unearth. The more connections I make.
I read writings of art critics who mostly lament where mainstream art has gone. I find women artists underrepresented in the mainstream art world especially the ones who focus on spiritual or - heaven forbid! - sacred themes. I read about how we must heal our connections to the earth and that the time is now to act. I find quotes from the Dalai Lama supporting the role of women in healing our earth and creating change.
I have way more pages then I likely need to have at this stage of the game, however, getting my proposal in early would be useful. Then I have moments of 'but wait I need to add a section on this!'
Of course, there is the other homework to do like the presentation on the article at next class, the ritual for the class after, and the 15 page research paper for my independent study. Oh and lets not forget the writeup for my community service practicum. Perhaps it is time to take a breather and focus on other items?

toning my virus away
I have yet another virus running through my body on top of flared up allergies. The last month or two have not been easy on my health. Cleaning closets at my parents kicked it off, kiddo brought home viruses, it rained, and all the mold bloomed.
That said, I am experimenting with toning as a way to bring balance and healing to my body. I tone the vowel sounds that resonate each of my chakra points. Today, feeling lousy, I was not sure how well I could voice the sounds but I went ahead and spent several minutes doing them up and down my chakras in sequence. My head hurt, my lungs complained.
Then I lay still resting (and breathing) and lo! My chest feels open and warm and full of good energy. My sinuses are less painful. I like this and so does my body.

For the Next Seven Generations
Went to see the new movie by the Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers last night. The film is called For the Next Seven Generations.
The evening began with drum and song. Then Grandmother Flordemayo came up and spoke. And led us through a loving meditation before the viewing.
The movie tells the story of how the Grandmothers came together as well as the stories of the Grandmothers. The places they come from, their traditions and how the council came to be. It walks through their attempts to get heard by the Pope. Their audience with the Dalai Lama and their subsequent visit to Rome.
Their message is one of peace. Grandmother Flordemayo spoke afterwards about how we need to heal the separation between all of us. Between skin color, between the earth and us, all separations. How we need to join as one and move forward. That time is short and the time for healing is now!

sacred art blessings
Today I had a wonderful day. I went into the painting class at school in the afternoon to assist. The women in the class had not yet started to outline their visions onto the canvas so I was witness to the amazing creations that took form all afternoon. I helped with answering questions, drawing bears, showing how to scrub with the paintbrush, and such. Shiloh had me introduce myself to the class and then told them all that I was an amazing painter. I felt all warm inside hearing that from someone who paints such beautiful paintings. It was like, "wow, she likes my paintings!"
At the end of class Shiloh and Sue and I looked over all the paintings I had done. Then we talked about independent study ideas. Shiloh looked at Sue (Sue being Shiloh's teacher) and Sue looked at Shiloh. Sue only works one on one with a couple students a year. They suggested I do a weekend with Sue.
This was an unexpected acknowledgement. I feel very blessed. It's a validation that I am on the path I am meant to be on - and that I really do paint amazing paintings. Yaa Hooo!!!

cats drinking rain water
Today I walked to the drug store instead of driving. This is good given recent bronchial unhappiness. I called my dad and had a coherent, useful conversation with him. I still feel like I am carrying way too much but moments of peace help to keep it balanced for which I am very thankful.
I re-read my thesis intro and wrote and read some more. I feel better about the whole thing. Thinking too much does not actually help. Writing down those gems I get in my head just before I fall asleep does help.
I have vision dancing in my head that I might paint or draw soon. Its forming.
I filled up a jar with wonderful rain water from the last two days. This time I am not pouring the bowl of rain water on my head. The cats are drinking out of it which seems like a much better use of it.

argonite
Picked up a gorgeous chunk of argonite at the Ren Faire today. Wonderful energy. Went to look up its purpose and had to chuckle given what life has been handing me lately.
"It is helpful for centering oneself especially during periods of stress and anger, provides insight into problems one is confronting, and enhances one's patience and helps one maintain during periods requiring an abundance of responsibilities."
Chuckle.

survived
I survived. I went down to my parents and endured another attack of verbal abuse from my father. I walked out on him. My whole body was shaking. Fear is a scary thing when it takes over your body. I hung in and waited it out. Waiting for other people to arrive and run interference.
The real estate agent arrived. I walked her through the house and then I listed the house for sale. Somewhere in there, the fear left me. There were no strikes of lightening. My brother had my father entirely distracted out on the deck. (Where my brother the Republican was telling my dad that the so-called republican propaganda my dad was reading was bullshit. That in itself was amazing.)
Later in the day, my dad actually had a conversation with me with my brother there where I told him what the plan was and he listened to me. My brother was very helpful in defusing dad's insistence on a reality that is not real. I realized I do have the power to move this situation forward to a resolution. And that dad will kick and scream and be unrealistic the entire way.

not the good daughter
Been having a hard time writing an entry the last day or so. Yesterday, I had a awful day dealing with my father and his twisted version of reality. I realized part of the issue is me. I have spent most of my life terrified of his anger, of being verbally abused by him, and trying to be the 'good' daughter so he wouldnt get mad at me. So I have a hard time cutting through the crap he speaks and standing up and saying what needs to be said.
I am not the same person anymore and I do not like the person my father is. He is racist, sexist, self-centered and domineering. I do not want any of that energy in my life in any form any longer.
And you know what? Its ok to not like him. Its ok to step away emotionally and cut the connection to him. It ok to simply tell him what is going to happen and move the situation along regardless of his angry abusive reactions. I am not the good daughter; I never was. None of us ever are.

change and transformation
I read an article from the Womens Wheel of Life book that I really liked. The chapter was on the Transformer. The author wrote of how change is not the same as transformation. Change can be altering the position you are sitting in. Transformation is about fundamentally altering the nature of something. My definitions.
The point for me is that I am not simply experiencing change, I am undergoing transformation as I create a new way of life for myself. Every aspect of my life is impacted as my beliefs and values shift. Learning to dance the change while staying centered in the chaos is a skill that I suspect I will use more and more often.

changing culture
My masters thesis topic is on women artists who create and use sacred art to heal our communities and culture. How do we define sacred art in our current so-called modern culture? Women artists who create sacred art are generally written off as 'folk artists' and therefore not serious artists. Or categorized as women creating 'goddess art' and therefore artists not doing mainstream art or only doing art for a small audience.
Both of these descriptions are ways our culture invalidates the work of women artists and the role of spirituality in our culture. What is sad is that not only is the work of women artists submerged, but it overlooks the ways in which we can use art to change our culture to a more healthy one.
Riane Eisler categorizes cultures into domination and partnership cultures. She defines these two categories to more broadly encompass what we mean by culture then typical terms like "western" or "patriarchal" or "socialist". In the US we live in a domination culture that has had many waves of change the move the culture towards partnership. Waves of change that are repeatedly repressed yet still have an impact.
Art is a way to alter the perceptions of the person viewing or interacting with the art. Art is healing. Sacred art impacts us in spiritual ways that change us. I want to understand how we can use sacred art to move our culture to a partnership culture.

priestessing yourself....
Spent the weekend in a workshop taught by Ruth Barrett: Priestessing Yourself and Others. I highly recommend it if you ever get a chance to take a workshop from her. She is a wonderfully intelligent intuitive teacher. I was very impressed with her style and ability to bring us all through the challenges of the workshop.
One of the things we did was create a ritual for ourselves - but not in a manner I have ever done before. We each practiced being present for the other in a way that drew out the ritual from the other woman while not putting any of our selves into their ritual. Its something to be experienced rather then described!
I have read Ruth's book, Womens Rites, Womens Mysteries a couple times; its a great reference book. However, working with Ruth took us to a much deeper level of understanding. I walked away with a real appreciation for how to create deep ritual and how much work it is.

fat and sugar
This week has been overwhelming. I am juggling several things right now that are complex, emotional, and large all by themselves much less all together. The effect is apparent. I keep forgetting little things, waking up at night worrying about things I cant do anything about, and my body is aching and complaining.
So, I did what I had to do to regain sanity - or at least to nurture myself. I went out to dinner and had a vanilla milkshake and french fries. Somehow fat and sugar make it all better.

dancing in my body
I went to my third belly dancing lesson today. Its not easy for me. Oh I can move to music, but actually learning steps and being coordinated is much harder then it looks. Feeling like I am slow to learn the steps and being distinctly uncoordinated while learning has left me feeling self-conscious about how I look. And in belly dancing, watching oneself in the mirror is key to knowing if you are doing the movements correctly.
I got to class and realized I did not want to watch myself in the mirror. I decided I just needed to get over myself and watch. So I did and watching helps.
The other thing I am having trouble with is performing the steps by myself - the teacher will ask us one by one to do a step with the music. This requires counting and moving. When its my turn, my brain goes blank, and I panic and stumble. Its partly being self conscious and partly having no confidence yet that I can do the steps with the music. When we dance as a group I am fine.
For all that, the teacher complimented me on my attempt at spinning. And told me I was started to get it. That gives me hope.

saris and spells
Today I went back to the parents again. However, before I went to bed last night I drew three motherpeace tarot cards. The message? I am powerful and I need to trust that all will come out ok. Another reminder was needed that I don't know what is going to happen and that's ok. I am held in the heart of the Goddess and all will come out ok.
Today I left their house feeling more positive. I can tell we are making serious headway on cleaning the closets and the house. Houses were looked at as potential places to live. My dad was less grumpy and invalidating to be around.
Gifts were also given. My mom had a whole box of beautiful clothing she bought or had made on her trips to India. Saris, scarves, tops, and pants - and she gave them all to me. I feel very honored to have them as they are very special to my mom.
I made my mom a spell jar with rain water, herbs, and stones to clear obstacles, grant wishes, bring mental clarity and prosperity. I sat with her and had her anoint herself with it. I hope it brings her what she wants. Be it harm none.

Mercury, Mercury.
We need to talk. I know you love going retrograde and messing with our perception of communication. I understand there are lessons to be learned about remaining centered and not letting the waves of confused messages upset the boat. However....
Did the Kodak beta site really need to send me 4 cards instead of 4 sets like I ordered? I do thank you for the fact that I got a decent discount when I reordered. Perhaps that is what you had in mind?
However, my order of necessary lingerie has been lost in the USPS system and is a week late. Perhaps you could find a way to work that one out of the system and down to my house? I would truly appreciate it.
I do understand that the typical channels of communication do not quite work as expected when you are retrograde. Facebook hiccups are a good example of that. And I am sad but happy to know that a friend finally made it to the doctor even though their diagnosis is not what any of us wanted to hear. At least now she is listening.
I thank you for the connections being made that are bringing threads of my thesis closer together. However, might you consider showing me what keywords to use for my literature review? Databases are particularly reticent when you are retrograde.

please unweave me now....
There are days I understand what overwhelming means in every cell of my body. Today is one of those days. And there are many more to come than I want to think about. So forgive the venting but sometimes it just has to come out...
My elderly parents can no longer take care of the house they are in (filthy is an understatement). We no longer have the means to pay for the house which we had to take over years ago due to poor money management by my dad. My father is slowly but surely losing cognitive ability. He is getting more frail physically, has more panic attacks, and simply cannot manage money at all. I cant tell if he does not want to admit or simply cannot understand that the time for grand schemes to make money is over. Its time to drastically scale back and stop doing so much. He understands we need to sell the house but he is convinced we have to buy him another one. Sigh.
My mom suffers from short term memory loss which has become quite bad in the last two years because she no longer has any social interaction with other people because dad wont let her drive anymore and they live way out in the country. She is deteriorating day by day. She needs to be in a situation where she is with other people on a daily basis. Dad is incapable of understanding that it is time to take care of her needs. He thinks he understands what to do, but truly he does not.
The worst part for me is that my father is angry, stubborn and pig-headed and will not listen to me because I am a woman. He treats me like my mother and consistently invalidates what I suggest and will only hear it if it comes from a man. A perfect product of patriarchy. I will be VERY happy when I have unwoven myself out of this mess.

musings on a weekend of classes
This weekend was our first weekend of class for the school year. Thesis Preparation, Community Service Practicum, and Uncommon Kinship.
Thesis Prep was about getting us moving. Literature review, topics, how to proceed, thesis committee, and such. And some divination on what Goddess will be helping us. I received Isis (mothering). Interesting as one working title for my thesis is Unearthing Our Mother.
Community Service was shorter and mostly spent on brainstorming and talking about what would be appropriate or not. I have several ideas and need to move along on finalizing what I am going to do. Luisah Teish (in the class the next day) spoke of 'being clear about what kind of world you want to live in' and letting that tell you what to work on.
Uncommon Kinship the next day was wonderful. Its about taking an in-depth, serious look at how we relate to culture - our own and, mostly importantly, to other cultures. How we make mistakes, how we connect, what we were born with, and what we have today. She spoke of being willing to take risks, having the humility to listen, and opening ourselves to being approachable. Much to think upon.
