Tuesday’s Spell for Democracy

If you read our previous postings below, you’ll know that Tuesday night (09/19) we’re doing a spell to increase the curiosity, courage, and tenacity of local and national journalists. Some journalists like Keith Olbermann at MSNBC and Anderson Cooper at CNN have been speaking out lately against the immoral and greedy behavior of our current national misleadership, yet we need quite a few more like them to dig out the dirt on corrupt candidates in time to penetrate the public’s consciousness between now and November.

So pick a favorite journalist, local if you live in a state with critical races taking place, or national if you don’t, download and print out a photo of them from their company website, and do whatever style of spell you do best to grant them more curiosity, courage, and tenacity. These are all virtues that every journalist should have, so think of the work as a blessing, not any kind of compulsion. Appropriate deities to invoke might include Hermes/Mercury, Thoth/Tahuti, Heimdall, Pandora, Ellegua/Exu/Legba, etc.

    Hello! We met several years ago at a workshop you gave at the Unitarian Congregation of Princeton and I have been working on this project:

    and in the press link, as a homage to you – there is a reference which, tongue in cheek, refers to an expert in Gaia art.
    I hope you don’t mind – do tell me if you would prefer the name be changed.
    Respectfully,
    Emily Townsend

    I’m flattered, actually. Perhaps it’s a distant descendent? 🙂

    must be. I don’t make this up – I just channel it. (just joking – I think.) I am glad you are flattered – I meant it that way – I will let you know when the NYTimes comes after me with a cease and desist order. . . .
