Deep Cosmos For Deep Times: A Spring Equinox Ritual of Story

Medicine of the Starry Heavens's Stories from Stardust presents...

Deep Cosmos For Deep Times:
A Ritual of Story, Mythopoetics & Celestial Illumination
-

The big wake up and remembering is here. We are all in it together. And so we turn and face it, eyes open, full of heart and soul, tethered to our ancestors, our beautiful world, and the emergence of mystery’s great unfolding. It’s like those old maps from explorers of yesteryears that read Hic Sunt Dracones, “Here Be Dragons.” And so we move towards the edges of the unknown, towards uncharted terrain and the dragon magic, towards the origins seeded in the endings, and the endings that carry our origins.

This is a poetic and mythic journey, for sure, and a deep descent of the ensouled. This moment in history is for real. The great cycles of time are moving in sync, moving us towards a deeper cosmos than we moderns have been in touch with. Lets celebrate the equinox and coming of the green with the spring peepers and the stars, the ones who carry our great stories and enflesh the old songs of fate and fortune.

This evening will be a night of story, poetic musing, reflections on pilgrimage & community, and for the late night crowd we’ll dig into some of the epic astrology of this coming season.

Bring a picnic and some wine. Bring a friend. Bring your tender, open, curious hearts and imaginations. Let’s kick off Spring Equinox weekend and the Zodiacal New Year with deepening our Cosmos and Psyches.

~What is Stories from Stardust?~
A one of a kind story-telling, stargazing deep-dive that braids together myth, cosmology & poetics with intellectual history, cultural remembering, practical astronomy & heart-centered teachings. These events are a form of ritual attunement that weave together imagination, landscape, cross-cultural star-lore, wonder, ancient perceptions & an alchemical courting of the night sky. I tell stories the way our ancestors did: under the night sky, around a fire, along shorelines, communing with the treasure trove of constellational images and folklore that is our starry heavens. Doing it this way is an inheritance that reaches deep into an embodied culture of belonging and plucks the long-forgotten heartstrings of the human psyche.
