Full Moon · Max Midstream Goes Quiet
Full Moon Tide of Effective Wrathful Dakinis, Caroline hosting Diane Wilson returning with the dedicated Trickster woof that she inspires and encourages in all of us; that, against all odds composts dementor despoiling tyranny…into nutrient for the Community of All Beings.
The Sun’s Image today is “Men toiling in a dark pit- a woman calmly lowers a rope!” And Mercury’s degree is “Coal miners emerging from a deep pit- into sunlight,”
while trining Ceres, dwarf planet = Flora Fauna = “bold woman asserts self on behalf of life.”
“We’re losing ground. This planet is losing ground. So things need to happen and they need to happen quick. Our message should be — loud and clear — there comes a time when the home needs protecting and the line needs drawing and anybody that dares cross it acts at their own peril.”
“I believe at some time in everyone’s lifetime, they will receive a piece of information and what they do with that information will determine the rest of their lives. No excuses are allowed. Not that they don’t have the money. Or they don’t have an organization already up and running on the ground to support the issue. Or no one will help and the town doesn’t like it and you have no one to babysit the kids. No excuses. Either you don’t or you do and sometimes all that doing requires is picking up a phone and calling a meeting. Then trust that life or the universe or Gaia will step in and your life will become a fantastic roller coaster ride. That’s what happened to me.”

“A little over four months after launching its first oil shipment from the Texas Gulf Coast, Max Midstream appears to be sailing in hot water. The young oil pipeline and shipping company — founded by Houston real estate developer Todd Edwards and British financier Azad Cola — shipped its first oil in May, shipped its last in June and has since been hit with a brace of expensive lawsuits alleging crimes from fraud to forgery, as well as a lien against its properties for $1.4 million in unpaid bills.

Stop the Money Pipeline and Defund Formosa
Stop the Money Pipeline and Defund Formosa, by uniting with with formidable, dedicated Women:
Caroline welcomes Sharon Lavigne and Long-time ally Diane Wilson.
Sharon Lavigne is the Founder and Director of RISE St. James, a Black-led community organization based in St. James, Louisiana, dedicated to prevailing over environmental racism. Unite with them to defeat/dissolve the massive Formosa plastics plant, a toxic petrochemical complex that is slated to be built within one mile of an elementary school that serves an almost entirely Black population.
RISE St. James on Facebook → www.facebook.com/risestjames/
Sharon is the North American winner of the 2021 Goldman Environmental Awards for her success in halting the construction of Wanhua’s $1.25 billion plastics manufacturing plant alongside the Mississippi River in St. James Parish, Louisiana. “Lavigne mobilized grassroots opposition to the project, educated community members, and organized peaceful protests to defend her predominantly African American community. The plant would have generated one million pounds of liquid hazardous waste annually, in a region already contending with known carcinogens and toxic air pollution.” (200 petrochemical plants along 80 miles of the Mississippi!) https://www.goldmanprize.org/recipient/sharon-lavigne/
The indefatigable Diane Wilson, fisher-woman-activist, fourth-generation shrimper from Seadrift, Texas, became involved in environmental issues in 1989 when she learned of neighbors’ health problems, dolphin die-offs and reduced fishery catches, and found that Calhoun County topped the list of most polluted counties in the United States, per the Toxic Release Inventory.
With San Antonio Bay Estuarine Waterkeepers, Diane Wilson successfully sued Formosa Plastics Corp., for their discharge of plastic pellets into the Bay. The settlement included $50 million for funding of environmental projects in the local area, the largest citizen CWA settlement. Formosa has also accepted a zero-discharge goal, with full recycling of their wastewater stream.
Her work on behalf of the people and aquatic life of Seadrift, Texas, has won her a number of awards including: National Fisherman Magazine Award, Mother Jones’s Hell Raiser of the Month, Louis Gibbs’ Environmental Lifetime Award, Louisiana Environmental Action (LEAN) Environmental Award, Giraffe Project, Jenifer Altman Award, and the Bioneers Award. She is co-founder of Code Pink and continues to be a leader for social justice.

Underworld Ministry
Caroline is delighted to welcome the return of Susan Shannon, as we honor the radiant resilience of the “former lifer” community, those “Returning Citizens” who have completed their sentence, and are now part of the team of Mentors, having much earned medicine to contribute – to us all… Inner work allows for synchronicity. Power of changing the narrative. Redemption. The rituals of healing betwixt those who have harmed, and those whom they have harmed. Milarepa, thug, highwayman and others who go on to be great Saints… Diving into the Dark to glean “Power with” vs. “power over.”
