The Solstice Wedding of Mars and Venus

This Solstice Wedding of Mars and Venus is a time for spiralling all that has been falsely estranged (a cheap trick of Empire)
back into dynamic democratic accord. (Left and right hemispheres, pragmatism and mysticism, activism and magic,
humans and pretty much everything else...all are called to this wedding dance. Bab Aziz says, "Arise my love! the atoms are dancing in molecular ecstasy.I know where. Let's go!"
The Divine is willing to bail out the humans now by granting eloquence and metaphor the power to animate the most desirable story possible for all the beings of the multiverse.
So, sharing a dedication to the Compassionate Trickster, Caroline Casey welcomes Dreaming Bear, Lebanese-Cherokee-American-Bard-Evangelical Juju Poet, that we may all contribute our sweet medicine to the collective elixir for the wedding punchbowl.
from http://dreamingbear.net/profile.html
Dreaming Bear Baraka Kanaan is an internationally renowned spoken word artist, author, and peace advocate who elegantly blends quantum understandings of the universe with inner expressions of the heart. Described as the "Shakespeare of Quantum Physics" by Maui astronomer Harriet Whitt, DreamingBear's verse offers fresh guidance on how to transform pain into beauty.
"I have devoted my life's artistry to cultivating a living language of love spells that captivate the senses and tickle the heart into a new consciousness that is playful, romantic, and full of laughter."

who, in the tradition of all great women, has journeyed to the Underworld, literally, and returned to tell a story essential to everyone who eats,"up-loads" and thus must "down-load". It is (way past) time to speak about the unspeakable, prima materia in alchemy, and our deteriorating global sanitation infra-structure which poses more risk, causes more death, than anything else we fear.

Embodying Trickster Activism!

For our live Brer Rabbit jump through the doorway into 2009, Caroline welcomes inspirational embodiment of Compassionate Trickster,Tim DeChristopher, who on December 19th, as a Trickster Agent of the CommonWealth, and supported by all the flora and fauna of this planet, saw the open door of opportunity and jumped right through to disrupt the BLM oil and gas auction by bidding against participating oil & gas companies. He ended up "winning" the leases for 22,500 acres of beautiful land near Moab. You can find more details at www.bidder70.org.

His actions have struck an inspirational resonant chord of support. Tim writes:

"In addition to the moving effect on me, this support has also opened up the real possibility of paying off the leases which I "won". The initial payment on this, required to secure the land, is around $45,000. After a good deal of struggling over this choice, I have decided to raise the money to secure the leases. With much advice from my legal team, it has become clear to me that making the down payment on the leases is the best way to protect the land until we can restore open, transparent and democratic procedures for determining the fate of valuable public lands.

Please donate to help protect these 22,500 acres of wilderness (and reduce the chance of prison for me). Together we can protect this land and show that we are all willing to make the sacrifices necessary for a livable future."
