Weather-delving
February, 1999

Ororo (BlondeBoy) is a weather witch.
He had been sensing human manipulation of global weather patterns for at least a year, something aside from El Nino/La Nina, but couldn't pinpoint who was doing it or why. It tastes coppery, he kept saying.
We decided to try an experiment, remote divination via IRC connection. I'm not a psychic and don't do weather, I was just assisting. I was in NYC with tarot cards, he in Arkansas with a Psychic Circle. People from several continents were present at #open-sesame (our old chat room) for this. - Eileen Holland


e_holland has changed the topic to "who'll stop the rain?"
BB:    we are going to be using a few mystic devices to try and aid our quest to set the weather patterns back into their norm. I already have an idea of the questions I think I should ask the Circle..I was hoping you could use the cards to get a better 'sense' of how we should approach this.
EH:       The Empress   = Earth
BB:       but please do not interupt Eileen or I.. we really need to concentrate on this
EH:       back to ley lines, as the key
*BB nods
Mode change "+m" by BlondeBoy
EH:       power rising, power gathers
e_holland   has changed the topic to "welcome: weather work in progress"
EH:       I'm singing the power through the web and the ley lines
EH:       look for knots, BB -   try the satellites, for Air
*BlondeBoy is looking
BB:      West
EH:       Knight of Swords
BB:       and the color blue..
EH:       Ace of Cups  cups = water
BB:       the color blue stands for communication, harmony, and tranquility.. odd how it would appear in this
EH:        blue = protection too,  Ace of Cups = Aphrodite,  sea goddesses
BB:       feel free to observe and add to the flow of power if you can
EH:        west = Asia?
BB:       hrmm.. and Aquarius
EH:      crystals,  get your crystals
*BB nods
EH:      blue = sea.   perhaps it's the La Nina?
EH:      or Tiamat, and chaos magick? leviathan
BB:     that would be very approprite,   the sea leviathan
BB:     ok.. now it is on PLuto *has to look up what that means*
EH:     Pluto = the underworld \the occult,  nuclear power
EH:     Ace of Wands
BB:     act passionate.. and as a detective on a dangerous case.. expose the true nature of what we see without exposing our secrets *boggle*
EH:      =Fire, means you're getting warmer
BB:     play the games as if they were life and death,  eliminate dead wood to make room for growth,   be aware the forces opposing you are extremely powerful
BB:     if ever there is a time when you are justified in being obsessed with something, that time is now
EH:       we do not stand in opposition ... yet.   we are just seeking answers, for now
BB:       Pluto represents a time when you see things so extremely good or bad.  it is also a time to resurecct and utilize something that was once thought to be useless
BB:       that is the sum up of what it says on Pluto
EH:       who is doing this?  The Tower
BB:     That could be a number of groups
EH:     tower = Poseidon, earthquakes, seaquakes -  back to the sea, and disaster
BB:       I got the water  sign on that
* BlondeBoy nods
EH:       sea power , nuclear power,   I feel dragon magick,   serpent power
EH:       ask why, BB .   why = who.  Gaia asks why
EH:       The Empress, again
BB:      I got a C -   Chaos?
EH:      China?
BB:     ahh..
EH:      The Empress is the key,  = Ceres.  she wears the city crown
BB:      I did mention China as one of the sites I saw 'knots'
EH:     = earth goddesses, Gaia
EH:     earth and sea, Poseidon and Pluto ????
BB:      now.. I have Venus..
EH:      if anyone is having trouble feeling the power, put your hands up to your computer screen
BB:      and I got Venus by asking how do we start looking for the why
EH:      Ace of Cups, from before, = Venus
BB:      hrmm....  what do you think that could represent?
EH:      Judgment, and Ace of Cups again
BB:       here is a thought... Venus on this circle can represent healing.. a time of balance and harmony  but it also is the universal symbol of female energy
EH:      Ace of Cups = summer, new beginning
EH:      Gaia heals, despite it all
*BlondeBoy nods
EH:      love. Ace of Cups = love
EH:      Tiamat/chaos = ocean depths, depths of darkness  but Venus, Aphrodite, Gaia = earth and sea, the depths of love
BB:     I really hate chaos magic
EH:     love conquers all
*BlondeBoy nods
EH:    I think you can stop worrying about the weather -  it will improve by summer
*BlondeBoy nods
BB:      if left alone
EH:      ask: what shall we do
BB:      South Node,  the South Node of the Moon
EH:     Queen of Wands, Fire, Leo
BB:     we are to learn from the situation,  a time to sow seeds for future success
EH:      Leo = summer.  warm blood
*BlondeBoy nods
BB:      the number 9
EH:      animal warmth, not serpent chill
EH:      9 = prime Goddess #,  3 x 3
BB:     a number of Power.. and one that reflects dangers
EH:      Moon #
BB:      the number of magic finality
EH:      Moon = sea
EH:      we keep getting earth and sea, the whole planet
BB:     Saturn
EH:      you were right about it being global
* BlondeBoy nods
BB:      I half expect the Sahara to start becoming fertile again, if the weather were to continue this odd course
EH:      notice: no air.  earth and sea and underworld = human agency
BB:     hehe.. maybe the lack of air is why I am unable to cope with it.. I am a child of Air.. but my water strength has kept me sensitive to it
* BlondeBoy nods
EH:      can you feed the satellites in?
BB:      hrmm.. it is fighting me
EH:      Judgment = Hermes Pssychopomp,  the Guide of Souls = Pluto
EH:     try the Sun, the sun sees all
BB:      it is like a black veil.. it looks cancerous
EH:      the earth? or the sun?
BB:      earth
EH:      Gaia needs time to heal
BB:     something ancient is awake
EH:     but heal she will
EH:      Tiamat,  the primeval ocean
BB:     and hungry
EH:     Tiamat, the all-consuming
BB:     inner conflict
EH:     Tiamat, who caused The Flood = The Tower
*BlondeBoy nods
EH:      Marduk defeated her, will do so again
EH:      Marduk = order, social order, stability,  a city god, for  the Empress who wears the city crown
BB:      I am seeing a wall of fire
EH:      Marduk =civilization, the antithesis of chaos
BB:      it does not burn out of control,  it is a fire to purify.. I think we could walk through it unsinged
EH:      C = Chaldea - Iraq -  it is a Babylonian problem, perhaps
BB:      the ground is like clay,  there is fear present
EH:      humans were formed of clay, in many mythologies
EH:      I am not afraid, I trust Gaia
BB:      not fear here, fear in this other place
EH:      fear of what?
BB:      I had to leave it.. it was giving me a pounding headache
EH:     The Devil
BB:      not sure.. it was a fear of something from the Sky
EH:     the Devil = bondage
BB:      not the weather.. but something 'sky' based
EH:      = being bound
EH:      planes?
BB:      no.. it is not a 'tech' based fear
EH:     ok, fear of being bound by something overhead?
BB:     the fear was like a growing dread
EH:      fear of hunger?
BB:     no.. not hunger.  it is almost like an expectation.. some 'doom' is coming from the sky and the sky is red
EH:      comet?
BB:      almost like pollutants or something.. Iam craving rain so bad... and my throat is parched
BB:      the sky needs to be burned with white fire,  a massive storm to ionize and clean it
EH:      fear of drought, perhaps
EH:      so -- the weather is being manipulated out of fear
BB:      it seems so
EH:      yes, storms - lightning, but not to strike anything
BB:      but fear of what is unknown
EH:      if you send rain, perhaps they will stop
EH:      redistribution of water
*BlondeBoy nods
BB:     a worldwide 'shower'
EH:      Ace of Cups = send love, tell them not to worry, they are not alone
EH:      will have help
BB:      good
BB:      this one is beyond even me, to do alone ;)
EH:      make love, not war : )
BB:      hehe
BB:      let us hope whoever is doing this will not mistake our act of love, as an act of war
EH:      the drought has not arrived though - can perhaps be forestalled
EH:      Aphrodite = a gentle touch
BB:     it all comes down to the 'female' aspect of magic
EH:      yes
BB:      wonder if the 'threat' is male based
EH:      Gaia and Aphrodite -  Aphrodite = Syria Dea, the Syrian goddess of love adopted by the Greeks  = Ishtar, = Inanna.   Inanna sends rain,   Inanna is goddess of the storehouse full of food
*BlondeBoy thinks Hurrikane will aid in it
BB:      the goddess of the bounty
EH:      yes.  the people fed, secure
BB:      and hopefully the fear will be alleviated
EH:      Hurikane is the wind who brings the storm, a New World god - help from the New World to the old, why not
BB:     I wonder if the 'fear' and inner conflcit I felt was a reflection of something the weavers of this feel.. it is an ancient magic, and not securely held by the caster
EH:      a half-forgotten magic
BB: perhaps they thought chaos would help them, by removing the 'orderliness' nature has brought them?
EH:      Babylonian magi are not what they used to be ; )
BB:      lol
BB:      I am going to remove the moderated tag now.. I am very curious what the observers have to say about all this
EH:     perhaps there is a puppetmaster
Mode change "-m" by BlondeBoy
BB:      there very well could be one...  there almost always is one, with Chaos
EH:      the devil = the one who controls the strings = a dictator?
BB:     that would fit in very well
EH:      did anyone else get any messages?
EH:      love the planet, love the people, comfort them in their fear, send rain when they need it - all will be well
BB:      the moderated tag is gone now, so you can all speak ;)
EH:      could y'all feel the power?  we should return it now
*BB nods
BB:     where should we send the focus?
EH:     to Baghdad
* BB nods
BB:      in what form? ;)
EH:      everything I do lately begins and ends in Baghdad -  a storm, a cleansing storm
*BB nods
EH:      with enlightenment, so they can SEE what is happening
BB:      this will be interesting.. will the storm be one of wind and rain.. or a psychic storm
EH:      Gaia will make it whatever it needs to be
BB:     ahh.. bombs away, so to speak ;) the focus is gone
BB:     this was very interesting, Eileen
EH:      this was a new way of working, for us
*BB nods
EH:       it worked! we learned something
BB:      a first time test, that went well, I think
EH:      we will get better at it, with practice
*BB nods
EH:    it is fascinating, how different methods can work together -  I see everything in terms of mythology, you see weather forms

The main message I got from it all was that Gaia would repair herself, as she always has. Ororo continues working with Nature, especially on repairing the ozone layer.
