eye

awakened within myself

a god-ancestor so ancient

it had no name...

merely ideas of names

🖤sigil of Lilith🖤

HAIL to thee! Mother of worms & snails. Progenitor of those creatures that writhe & slither in the darkness of the underbrush...fertile are thou! Mistress of swamps & marshes!

Queen of shapeshifters & symbionts!

Goddess of regeneration & blood magick!

HAIL to thee!

And my experience is similar to that of the condor.  After spending several weeks in San Francisco and several days at the Mountain Home Studio in Marin (the studio where Anna Halprin lives and works), I am reminded just how much an influence the environment has on the brain - on we as people.  In a simple performance score that involved touch, I felt the rigid shell I'd built up against the noise and cold of the Chicago climate begin to melt away.  I could literally feel and name the cellular difference - could feel the hesitation, the resistance, the hair-trigger pulling back from people and from the floor, pulling back from true surrender.  But with the permission to lean on another given by a loving mentor of 92 years, the warmed wooden floors of the beautiful studio and the loving embrace of Mt. Tamalpais trees all holding me, I felt the protective shields begin to fall away.  With the surrender to the warmth and safety in the body comes the parallel and metaphoric surrender into life.  What happens in the body happens in our lives.  Greater flexibility can equal greater mobility.  What external environment can assist in providing that for you?
