“Up in smoke: Forgetting your troubles the Santa Fe Way”
Despite all the gloom and doom, residents of Santa Fe, New Mexico, have a delightful and harmless way of releasing the negative of the past… with a little shamanism borrowed from the Yaqui Indians… The community has an annual ritual bonfire sacrfice of a marionette effigy… “Zozobra”… The local custom was started by an artist, Will Shuster 85 years ago… and continues to this day
I share the article as an example of how stressful energies can be released… Observe that ‘release’ it is one of those ‘RE’ words so appropriate during these retrograde Mercury weeks… a community stuffs all their bitter memories of the year like divorce papers, bad debts, tragedies, etc. …what they want to forget so they can get on with their lives …into an effigy that is then burned… and together as a community …they watch …and let it all go.
Try it… under safe conditions… a written statement burned in a large astray… or divorce papers burned in a fire place… whatever, just do it with intent… and then forget about it… let the magick work… you might be surprised at the effectiveness… if it makes you feel better and it doesn’t hurt anyone… why not?
