It seems that the plague which befell us at the Gaian Mind Summer Festival this year has brought to the surface a lot of painful truths which we'd been trying to previously ignore. I know I am not the only one this is true for as many of my GM friends have told me otherwise. I had planned to lead a ritual in the Pine Barrens last Saturday in order to banish these negative and harmful energies from affecting us all, however the ritual did not occur. I was not in an emotional place to lead it on my own, and nobody stepped up to help. Therefore I am asking now if anyone is willing to lend their energies to this effort so that we can join forces in the search to find our smiles again.
At the end of last year, Jamie and I performed a ritual which included some magical work about working through our previously repressed emotions. Instead of continuing to ignore our feelings of betrayal, anger and resentment, we chose to acknowledge and accept them. Instead of just fighting off our fears and regrets, we chose to turn them to our advantage by working through them and accomplishing success by overcoming them. We had a powerful Winter season without any Seasonal Affective Disorder but with plenty of hard work and dark emotions coming to the surface.
I feel the time has come to do a similar ritual, but now I believe it would be best if all of my friends were involved. It seems that we are all going through some difficulties these days and could benefit from doing such difficult work on our own armed with the knowledge that we are all in it together. Here is what I propose...
Choose an object to represent the negativity you're currently experiencing. This object could be a photograph of yourself during a time when you felt particularly down, a piece of paper with some writing about how bad you've been feeling, a piece of string you've knotted to represent all the knots inside your gut, a gemstone that is special to you, etc.
Focus your energy surrounding these undesirable thoughts and feelings into your object. Whenever you are feeling down pour those emotions into your object. Rather than ignoring them, take a moment to put them into your object, then put the object down and move on physically and emotionally.
Perform a spell with me on a Saturday night (Saturn oversees protection and many other pertinent energies) either this coming Saturday, August 2nd when the moon is new, or in the hours before the next monthly on Saturday, August 23 when the moon is waning. Your items will be used during our magical work, and our energies will be focused together toward our common goal of healing.
Let me know if you're interested in participating in this magical work with me! I'll immediately send you a copy of the ritual I'm drafting so you can review it and offer any suggestions.
In Love and Light,
Reverend PLURall

Yes.
definitely LOTS of things coming to the surface. It's overwhelming.
We all should turn to each other for help/advice when we're having troubles. We CAN all help each other; I believe THAT's why we're here on Earth at this time.
I feel a bit "knocked-down".
I'm having trouble getting through it all, but I seem to be working it out. In the past few days, I've resolved to make some serious changes in my behavior. My smile and bliss has only half returned. Unacceptabe! I need it all back ! :)
I can only join you on Aug 2nd if the ceremony is during the DAY, as I have another wedding that night. The 23rd is good for me, though.
Lynn, you ROCK ! ! !
Deet, the link you provided was so helpful to read!

Thank you for sharing that, and for sharing yourself with me.
Yes, Guess I Missed out. i Couldn't Be There. I had too Much coming ...
No, I didn't feel the plague affect me during the festival. Just everybody around me. Hey, Here's a new perspective. Maybe I am the plague.
So maybe I saved the piney powers from being tainted by not being there.
I am pretty sure that when my emotions were repressed around others, I was more fun to be around. When I made the mistake of releasing my emotions, it started a chain reaction.
I guess this comes down to a question... you say that it would be best if all of your friends were involved. Where does that leave me?
P.S.
Your prior post also seemed to ring some irony bells for me, but perhaps I'll wait to see where I stand with you before I make any more assertions.
hey guys. I am always here to talk if you need to. Call or email me anytime. If things like rituals don't get done before the music starts they probably won't get done at all. If you need my help, ask, otherwise I will probably be running around doing 500 other things. I barely even saw you all night, when I went to find you, you were asleep in the car.
I'm not sure what is the cause of everyone's sour moods. I was there for awhile, the virus, the death of my two beloved kitties, 13 and 15 years I spent loving them. I have accepted it though.
For me lately the smallest things irritate me, but I know what I need and I am getting that in 2 weeks! A much needed vacation! Then I come back to no more school and a new job. Things do get better :) What are the things bothering you? Make an effort to change them.
I will be around to do a ritual this weekend, but not the 23rd we will still be in Spain. Let me know. If you want to get together just to hang out and talk that would be great too. The only times I seem to see you lately are at parties and there is never time to do that.
Justin, what are you talking about? We missed you in the pines as we missed everyone else that wasn't there. LOVE LIFE people, your friends can't help you unless you talk about what it is that is making you sour... communicate, don't lock it all in...
Love to all of you! XOXOXO
