Urban Shamanism

We give shape to chaos

Big week this is! Mercury and Jupiter went direct yesterday and are currently in Air Trian between Libra and Aquarius, plus tomorrow we'll have a Full Moon in Aries, the gist of it being that, in this period of tumultuous transformation that we're experiencing, we're individually prompted to recognize ourselves as parts of the whole, important in ourselves but also within the context of the larger structure, with a role to play that binds us in accountability to the rest of the human race whether we like it or not.

The drawing you see below is also based on my exploration of roleplaying games, and is meant to be both a doorway and a map of the energy lines of a Caracas that's shattered into many versions, in a story that I started narrating when my spiritual path began in earnest, back in 2015. Through this narrative, I began understanding the fabric of reality and concepts like Magic, Alchemy and Balance, among others, which allowed me to live in my own city, not known for its safety, with increasing wonder and trust.

This is what we're being presented with right now: many possibilities, but only through the noise of the Storm can be extract them. Our power of creativity has always been our best tool for adaptation, we can imagine many paths and choose the ones that best suit the narratives that we're pursuing, although this choice is often unconscious. We do this automatically, but it's time to start doing it with awareness at a collective level, to reunite our visions into as much of a single track as we possibly can given the circumstances. We give shape to chaos, it's what we are and the reason behind our skills of innovation, science and art. Through specific lenses, we live a specific experience which we can modify by shifting perspectives and visions; we usually do it forcefully but we can do it willingly, through Love instead of Fear.

I choose Love, I choose to be fully and deeply connected with Humanity and with every other lifeform on this Planet, in this Universe. I choose to bring all apparently diverging visions into one single focus that I can use to sublimate my experience in this physical plain. These times we're living in aren't easy and the messy trend will continue for quite a while, so I strive towards Unity, towards making things whole and pristine as they are in legends and myth. I know it's possible because I've already seen it, I live in it. I just need a little help from friends.

Night Rune: Laguz

My father sleeps under many blankets in his house. The television set is on, I seek to turn it off but my sister stops me.

Disputes that reveal the true vortex behind apparent agreements. See misfortune as an evolutionary process, let the tempest raze your preconceptions and convictions. Your transformation is also the transformation of the world and every transformation involves a certain conflict. Go out, expose yourself to the elements, protections are useless and trust is your only sustenance. Remember past teachings, resume trainings, reactivate connections and skills, it is time to extend your networks. Explore your passions once more, generate with your creativity the necessary adaptations for the new contexts. Celebrate your Light but do not rest on your laurels, the truth labor is scarcely announcing itself.
