Jan 29
As many of you may know I took part in a ritual called “Animating the Spirit of Democracy” on January 19, 2009. The idea was to allow the local earth-based and Pagan communities to bless the city and President Obama’s administration as a collective community. I was honored to be invited to give a blessing.
I posted the text of my blessing last week, but now there is a video.
The video is the full 1-hour ritual, but you can fast forward to me, if you like. Here’s a handy guide to people you may be interested in seeing.
- My blessing for the Spirit of the District of Columbia (at 42:00)
- Angela Raincatcher giving the Water invocation (at 17:40)
- Caroline Casey’s invocation of the Compassionate Trickster (at 24:00)
- Katrina Messenger’s message (at 57:40)
- Interviews with ritual organizers at YouTube MagickTV
