3 Jewels for Your Friday
A Venus Day Love List
Dear Ones,
It’s time for another Venus Day Love List. This one is short and sweet as I’m feeling a little under the weather and am excited to curl up under my blankets with my cats. I don’t know if my blues are just a bad cold or if the state of world is wearing on me. In any case, I have three jewels to offer you this week, one sharp, one shiny, and one to fill you with enchantment. Keep scrolling to see it all!
First, the bad news…
I’ve been listening to The Shock Doctrine on my drives to UCLA in the morning. I had a hard time putting it on my Venus Day love list because every time I listen to it I mainly seethe with fury. However, I will say that it goes a looonnggg way toward contextualizing the feelings of overwhelm and anxiety many of us are feeling now as a result of the Neo-Con take-over of the world. In short, what we’re experiencing now is the final act of a long and deliberate scheme of corporate power players to create chaos around the world so they can profit. While it isn’t a fun read, it provides a rigorous analysis of how these players use fear and destruction (including YOURS AND MINE) to their own benefit. Forewarned is forearmed. We won’t be able to stop them if we don’t know what they’re doing. After you read this… YOU WILL KNOW. You can grab your copy here.
Next, the fun news…
Our own beloved community member Elizabeth K. recommended this podcast to me and now… I’m OBSESSED. At a basic level, it’s a beautifully produced podcast about non-verbal autistic children who can read their mother’s minds. But on a grander scale it’s about the limits of science, faith, and what it means to communicate and relate to one another. It’s an especially welcome gift on my drives home from UCLA when often I’m feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world and sad to be in traffic. This podcast gives me a lift a reminds me that there’s so much more to the universe than we have begun to know. It makes me feel hopeful.
Finally, the best news of all… Full Moon in Leo ritual on Monday, 2/10/25 at 6pm PST. Join us!
I’m so looking forward to our ritual together on Monday. I always emerge from our rituals feeling refreshed and inspired - just what we need at times like these.
During this ritual, we will:
Practice a meditation to help us clear our fields of unwanted energy
Discuss the meaning of Leo and Aquarius
Reflect on the past month, set intentions and listen for messages to guide us
Practice divination
Create a blessing to use as a prayer and/or at the beginning of our Book of Shadows
