Wanted: Druid Crow Guild

[space monk]

hello fellow ignited ones. before i explain what i'm seeking to do allow me to tell a short story.....

opening scene: Stonehenge, halloween night 2006. me alone, an american wizard in england. jump the fence, sneak into the stargate. transmorphination complete.

next scene: later that night, in the town of glostenbury (aka Isle of Avalon, where King Arthur reigned and Merlin lives) i stumbled upon a party filled with witches and warlocks. after 2 hours of stomping (that's how they dance) to radical drum&bass and industrial techno, in march the crow guild.

crow guild: 40 dancers, faces painted white with black stripes arcoss the eyes and tribal swirls. most wore top hats and dusty coat tails. they lined up, 5 to a row, 8 rows, each held a cain or staff, and they proceeded to jig while chanting "to life, to death, to life and death as one!" over and over. hundreds of us chanted along. was truly amazing.

what i want to do: create the crow guild at Burning Man and have the guild perform before the man burns. we will commune at BRC.

if you're interested email me at [email protected] and over the next months i'll keep you updated

one last thing: after Hope & Fear, as i took one last ride around BRC, out past the temple i spotted a crow on the ground. he danced and sang. as i fumbled with my camera, to shoot this rareity, he bolted. i see this as a synchronicity that must be expanded.

peace

Of course he did. The crow was gifting you...

As soon as he realized what you were about to do, thereby violating the scared trust he (or she?) put in you to hold that magic, it beat feet.

Sometimes... the miracles and beauty are there to be *experienced*, not *recorded*... It was your gift. Magic is to be anointed, not quantified. Quantified, it no longer is.

Then again, what do *I* know?...

the same thing happened when i saw a ufo (the only 'offical' one so far in my life. at sunset, nrt vermont, was a giant silver airship, but this wasn't no goodyear blimp!) so i broke out my camera and when i looked up it was gone. i totally agree with the 'expienced' not 'captured' thing. but sometimes i cant help myself.

To take an image is to steal a bit of the soul, hence the vacuous hollywood "stars". Nothing left.
