The Sky is Falling... Save Your Bacon!

One of the main strengths of "Paganism," is the ability to spontaneously compose rituals, "de novio," as pointed out by Sam Webster... whose speech, "Ritual, Magick & How Pagans will Save the World," was a major inspiration for me to seek out a group of people with whom to share spirituality... and in this quest, I ended up remeeting many local burners through recreating the mojo_meeting! During the Mojo Meetings, we often did just this sort of sharing offerings with each other... and we were assisted by a talking-stick like device, in the form of a "Spooky" squeak toy!
This sort of exchange... sharing wisdom with one another... is exactly the sort of thing that i have been thinking would be really fun @ Flipside, too... and I have also wanted to take these words of wisdom & modulate them... whether done in the surrealist fashion, like a literary version of the exquisite corpse or the cut-up technique... or even finding our own wisdoms/truths in observation of the patterns in nature, such as in Renku (linked verse)I ( ... )
