We arrived home last Friday afternoon with a huge load of laundry which finally slunk itself into the L-mat yesterday. Clean clothing and towels have a renewing effect on the psyche and now it is possible to remember and assess our week and a half ceremonial event on Mt. Shasta.
So many people! So many from distant places not only in the US but also from Israel and even Taiwan! Young and older. Knock down living-in-the-woods hippies and seeking corporate people taking vacation time to camp among the volcanic heights of Mt. Shasta among the stunted fir, giant rock piles strewn over the dust, alpine flowers and a glacial stream flowing down. Our camp swelled from 6 people on Wednesday before the event to about 30 by the time Saturday and the Full Moon arrived: about a gallon of coffee at each sitting was consumed along with donated meals and treats.
Jim Thundereater magnificently led us all through the flow of time and energy while we danced and were cleansed. For me, it was memorable in several of the people who came into my life: there is something about high energy that makes us bond with a depth not available during our usual day to day lives.
My favorite was young Black Fox, a 10 year old boy growing himself up in nature with the guidance of several people distantly related to his mother. I offered myself as an ally and requested him to become a wisdom ally to me: hugs sealed the relation. There was Maidel, a beautiful Cuban woman with her husband and child who, without hesitation, brought me a special pyramid crystal with which to develop communication skills. Precious gifting. And Curt, a Canadian man my kid's age struggling with the renewal energy the mountain and our camp offered him. His generous spirit opened and laughed heartily with us around the fire. An Israeli couple on tour happened in on our circle and stayed to dance most of the night.
The world shrinks to within the boundaries of the Medicine Circle, we dance and rededicate ourselves to renew universal love which goes with us to our distant lives when we demolish the stone circle and restore the plateau at Panther Meadows to its natural state. Our experiences shared later with our cohorts inoculated them with the peace and love we danced for them at the Full Moon.
This year, the 13th, brings us a new prayer and next year a new dance will move our limbs in another high energy sharing during the Aquarius full moon on August 5th, 2009. Will you be there?
We welcome you and pray now for your well being.
