Burning Man, Mercury Retrograde – Back to the Future
Burning Man, nine-day, intentional, temporary, desert art community, on the playas of Black Rock City (BRC), (northern) Nevada, begins Sunday, August 28 and ends Monday, Labor Day, Sept. 5th. The formation of this temporary society is based on “radical inclusion, self-reliance and self -expression” within the context of art, community, gifting, cooperation, celebration, a bonfire and leaving no trace.
Burning Man is a new social structure. As the old society falls away, we will seek community, places of refuge based on this experiment. Everything that occurs is created by its citizens. Everyone participates. It’s an experiment. Theme for 2016 is “Da Vinci’s Workshop.”
Inspired by the Italian Renaissance (15th-16th centuries), when Ray 3 (Divine Intelligence), Ray 5 (Concrete & Scientific Knowledge) and Ray 7 (anchoring a new template, rhythm, new archetypes of living), streamed into the Earth, creating artistic and scientific innovation and an enlightenment that led Europe out of the Dark Ages (6th-14th centuries).
The Renaissance was a revolutionary cultural movement. Science and art flourished, especially in Florence, Italy. An example of Renaissance art is Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus” (1480).
Burning Man 2016 “attempts to become the epicenter of the new present day renaissance.” Its “hero” is Leonardo da Vinci, creator of “Vitruvian Man”, head, arms and feet outstretched, representing the 5-pointed star of Venus.

Mercury Retrograde
Appropriately as Burning Man looks to the past, Mercury retro begins, stationing at 29 degrees Virgo (early morning Tuesday, August 30th). What does this mean? The “new renaissance” at Black Rock will have unusual turnabouts and surprises. Mercury retro is heyoka, the trickster, contrarian, medicine man, healer, functioning upside down, inside out, posing questions, zen koans, so we see things differently. Mercury retro is perfect for Burning Man…looking back to the future.
Addenda: We pray for our brothers and sisters experiencing disaster in so many regions of our world. The continued migrations. The starvation in Africa. The earthquakes of Italy & Burma. The flooding waters of Louisiana. The burning fires in California. The many homeless and starving in the United States, especially the children & families. We remember to send our tithes to those in need – Red Cross, Catholic Charities, Doctors Without Borders, Unicef, etc. We are given much so we can give & give again.
I Am the Mother and the Child,
I God, I Matter Am
