Wheel of Wonder, January 19, 2025
In the United States, there is, as opposed to its name. great political polarization at this time. I do hope other Americans remember the truth once told "Divided we Fall." This is a good time for the larger herd of humanitarians to pull together in the USA and work towards the future we desire. Sometimes it seems easy to feel predated upon as we're just coming out from under the energy of the Wolf Moon and may not be happy with what we see on the National stage (especially with tomorrow being inauguration day) Our destiny still lies within our own hands the map to the future is being designed in the present and balance and justice can begin to appear on the horizon like a bright sunbeam breaking through the thick clouds of winter. Many people find the strength and power to push through the rough weather in the ecstasy of nature. It has its own magic and when we tap into that feeling of awe and wonder for what the Earth Mother has given us, we have magic too. We are part of that magick and this knowledge can give us the extra power we need to find strength and balance and create positive change!
The Animists, much like the polytheists, have been aware of that strength of spirit for millennia. In this interconnected web of life we live in we are not one "good guy" against the many "bad guys" but an entire herd of heroes, heroines, and champions working together with all of our allies seen and unseen, spiritual and physical, working towards the greater good. Wolves howl up towards the moon, not so they can shout it down to earth, but so they can communicate with all the others also hunting for justice and equity then work together to achieve their goals! This howling, in its turn also stimulates the bravery of the herd of humanitarians to power forward through what appears to be a great darkness to re-emerge under the light of a brighter day.
Today on Wheel of Wonder the goal is to explore these possibilities and meanings through music, poetry and the songs and words of an awakened spirit.
