U.S. Getting schooled by Iranian Lego News, Lego News real origins of this Country ,with Resistance History Prof – Tad Stormer, Iranian political cultural guide,Maryam Ishani –

& all loving honor to Marjane Satrapi Iranian-French graphic novelist, cultural treasure, best known for her autobiographical novel/film “Persepolis” – translating us into intimacy with Iranian People… who died yesterday  age 56, noted for her tenderness and irony…

President of the French National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, posted on X that France had lost “an immense artist”.

She said: “Marjane Satrapi had turned her work into an act of freedom. With Persepolis, she had given a face and a voice to the Iranian revolution, proudly carrying the fight for women’s freedom and dignity.”

She created Woman, Life, Freedom, a collection of graphic stories about the protests in 2022, following the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the morality police for not wearing her hijab properly.

Satrapi told the BBC in 2024: “If you take the art and culture out from any society, this society falls down.”

The post Defiant Joy & the Power of Story appeared first on KPFA.

Honoring Bridges as literal metaphors …..let us aspires to be a bridge…. as are the people, the living and the dead, whom we honor this hour… the bridging work of Idries Shah, his son, Tahir Shah, Fatema Mernissi, and Peter Kingsley….

The Moroccan Journey is never ending…

Noting the resonance of 5+ Taurus, whose Sabian Image is “ a Cantilever Bridge over a Rocky Gorge….building connections…finding a way to get from here to there…..finding a way outta noway…..like High John de Conquer …

When MLK Jr was born, Chiron was at 5+ Taurus

Honoring literal and metaphoric bridges….

Reminding us of the demonic destruction of the Karaj B1 Bridge in Iran, by US Dementors…..

Dark o Moon – we gather to guide  – to Saturday’s New Moon, exalted in Taurus of participatory Animism….

And honor the mythological resonance of place….

“To love disharmony back into harmony creates a greater harmony than existed before!”

Jupiter and the craft of Liberating Story…

We live in a Story-Telling Creation- Everything telling us its story by its color, song, rhythm, and if we simply approached the world with informed reverent curiosity – our species would rejoin the Guiding Narrative…”Tell me your story & I will spiral it forth…”

Jupiter and the lineage of story-telling- just returned from worthy arduous journey to Morocco, suffused with so many stories….re-combobulating, as be we all…. Honoring Jupiter, Idries Shayh, and his son Tahir Shah….

Whose books we be proffering as thankyou gifts for pledging to KPFA/KPFK /Pacifica.

“Caravan of Dreams” by Idries Shah

And “In Arabian Night- A Caravan of Moroccan Dreams” by Tahir Shah

And always –

Alf Lyla wa Layla – “A Thousand ands One Nights.”

In which Scheherazade, quintessential liberating folk hero -liberates women, men, the land, even the crazed tyrant….the entire atmospheric circumstance….whoise bastion be handed to us all… To cultivate the craft of complexity, irony….

To be deeply informed of the world’s corrupt creepitude – and love it anyway….Art of Blessing..

Many narratives proffered …cause we gotta know…What’s at stake…syncretizing Chris Smalls, Maryann Ishani, Mathew Remsky on Pope Paul in Algeria, Voting Rights, Maya Angelou and more!

Caroline re-plays a portion of her November 12th talk in Sonoma, so that we all might be Rising Aroused in Apocalyptic Times…. 

BodhiSattva Coyote’s astro*mytho*politico guide to navigating this dangerous, opportune time with Dark humor, Grief, Community alchemical magic and jaunty Trickster pluck.

Not averting our gaze from the cruel horror of our rampaging rogue species…. We are definitely in Act IV – which is evil, and are assigned the task of crafting Act V – Redemption

First by understanding that the domestic tyranny before us is a grotesque animation of all that is unaddressed in America’s shadow….

At this time of mega accelerating collapse, it behooves us all to animate the opportunities so generously proffered too us, lest we leave the fate of the world to the dementors…

Tyranny has always attacked Community – because tyranny is a cult – the toxic mimic of Community. So, Let’s compost the “cult” out of culture.
