Migration and birds, hibernation and bears, part of the natural order of regeneration. As I get ready to leave the Northeast, I feel a sadness to not go into the hibernation, but rejoice with the birds, in their search for light and warmth.
Ariel. From The Tempest. Johann Heinrich Füssli The spiritual connection to the irrational has always been a fascination. What is it to suspend belief? We feel the connection when presented with symbols and synchronicity. The correlation of water to emotions is intangible in the linear world. Even the most skeptical would acknowledge that tears are joy or sadness.
The world is mostly covered in water; could this be the reason that feelings rule? We react to perceived injustices, and struggle for logic. Science tries to overcome primordial lizard brain. Saturn in Sagittarius is reality vs philosophy. The scale is similar to passion and compassion. How often do we rally against the personal illogical greed and our need to be acknowledged?
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered?

Cover of the Glinda of Oz by Frank L. Baum Andy Warhol proclaimed we each have 15 minutes of fame. I tend to think of him as visual art. Today the proclamation is more about wanting to be heard. The rhythm of the vocal chords resonate throughout the body, sensuously. The sound also gives a solace to know we are alive.
What we say has mostly been said before. Each individual needs to recreate this reality. We can only integrate our personal perceptions.
The world's of en lighten ment, literally fire signs, and conceptualization, in the brain, air equals thought, are male dominated, right brain activities. A thunder storm is composed of wind, electricity, thunder or vibration and rain. Again connection to the elements of air, fire, earth and water.

Blanche Fisher Wright's cover artwork for the Rand McNally 1916 book The Real Mother Goose Earth needs grounding, ironically as the earth spins.
A case could be made for earth signs wondering “do I exist?”
Water is about the dream world and feelings. All good ghost stories have murky waters. The life of a sailor is longing to be free.
Chaos and order go hand and hand. Ideally we want to rid ourselves of the polarity. Perhaps there are some who are able to hang onto the focus of non-duality. As the saying goes, it is the journey, not arriving there.

Detail of Johann Heinrich Ramberg painting of the Tempest - Stephano, Trinculo and Caliban Most traditions have a relationship with the dead. Many feel in healing their predecessors they can heal themselves. There is a fine line between psychic mental illness and that person becoming a true healer. Rituals that involve action and contemplation of communications with souls on another plane, can frighten and inspire. The Wiccan, the wise ones, the courageous are allowing themselves to seem absurd. This time of year with Halloween, the day of the dead, we are encouraged to step between the lines. Have fun with it. Costumes, mysteries and harmless irrational behavior gives breathing space!
