Ojai Music Festival
Messengers
Shavuot (Festival of the Law)
Flag Day (Art), Spirit of the People
For music lovers in California, the best place to be this weekend is the Ojai Music Festival. It’s the Festival’s 70th year, Peter Sellers is the music director, and it’s all weekend long – Friday through Sunday. The festival is filled with “energy, courage, allure, inquiry, reflection and secret revelations.” There’s opera, Noh theatre, Ezra Pound (inspiration), a band from Cairo, music from India and a children’s festival. “Surprising, path-breaking and visionary.” Ojai is 90 miles north of Los Angeles. It’s Shangri-La. http://www.ojaifestival.org/festivals/2016-festival/2016-festival-schedule/.
Messengers
We are in the midst of Gemini and Mercury, Gemini’s ruler. Both are messengers. Gemini and Mercury are about communication, talking, sharing, being here and there, using thought, study, ideas, reasoning and logic to connect with each other. If we look at paintings of Mercury we see wings on his feet. Mercury flies high like the birds, receiving messages from the gods, building the Rainbow Bridge to the Soul. In indigenous teachings, birds are messengers. There is a language of birds. In the book, “The Genius of Birds,” author Jennifer Ackerman writes, “Birds exhibit technical, social, musical, artistic, spatial, inventive, adaptive intelligence. Some birds count, use tools, converse with humans, carry messages.” All Gemini/Mercury traits.
Sunday is Shavuot, the Hebrew festival of both the first harvesting of grain as well as marking the anniversary of the day God gave Moses the 10 Commandments & the Torah (Five Books of Moses), the Jewish Laws. We know them as the Old Testament. If we open a bible at the beginning we see the Five Books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Moses was given the 10 Commandments and the Torah (laws) during the change in the Ages – from Taurus (Egypt) to Aries (Canaan). Taurus was the Age of Desire (and of slavery for the Jewish people). Aries was the Age of Laws. Thus the “laws” given to the Hebrew people from G-d as they walked toward freedom. They walked in the desert for 40 years. To prepare the people for the new land of “milk & honey.”
Tuesday is Flag Day. Flags, an unrecognized art form, represent the spirit of the people who live under that flag. In the U.S. flag, the thirteen stripes (red & white) represent the first 13 British colonies that declared independence from Great Britain. The fifty stars represent the 50 states in the union. Our present flag was created by 17-year old Robert G. Heft (Sun/Venus in Capricorn, Mercury in Aquarius) as a high school class project. He received a B – for his work! Question. If we were each a nation what would our flag look like?

and in the Waning of That Self,
I Grow and Glow
