In many ways, I’m still recovering from the party that was held here last Saturday night. It turned out, as the best parties usually are, to be a bigger piece of magic than expected. It was a party for prana, a party for the life force, and had a silent auction as a component, raising money for my friend Jeremy, who wants to try some experimental treatments for his cancer.
I live in a huge Victorian with two large flats, the other being owned and occupied by my friend Ilyse. Like Jeremy, she’s worked for an assortment of organizations geared around envisioning and transforming bad things into good things..or at least sustainable things. At the moment, she works for MoveOn. We filled our flats with flowers and greenery, and we both put huge cauldrons on our house altars, which called to be filled with green. Money, that is.
Our goal was to raise $3000. At the end of the party the cauldrons held $10,000, with another $3000 said to be still coming. Thirteen thousand dollars!!! This was magic, this was loaves and fishes, this was truly amazing. The house had been full of food and drink, and still is. How can it be that almost as much seems to be left over than when we started? My girlfriend’s big poached wild salmon was picked to the bone, but there is still chocolate cake on my kitchen table, boxes of cabarnet left over, and Ilyse has a refrigerator full of cheese downstairs.
The house is still reverberating and shimmering with the prana that filled it Saturday night. Could the adjustments I've been getting and the realignment I've been feeling now be rippling out to my home? For the first time ever, my flat was not the locus of the party, the other being overflow. Saturday night, it was the other way around. It felt wonderful. It was a readjustment in the energy body of the house.
Ilyse, the day of the party, found a mighty leak/hole in her back room in the spot the Feng Shuiers call the money spot. The wood was rotten there, and needed to be replaced. That work started that day. My friends who lived there before struggled with money issues and lived for years on the edge of bankruptcy. Ilyse since she’s lived there has been hunting down an elusive leak, which has cost a ridiculous amount of money. On Saturday, this was found, and now it has been fixed.
When you start to do a piece of magic, you never know what will happen.

my favorite part was the DJ in the living room...since most of the people were downstairs, it was like having your own private salsa/world beat DJ....dancing is magic! that party was truly inspiring.......
Yay!!! I had a grand time, the whole house felt really good, and dancing with your girlfriend was the best!
Sounds like quite a bit of magic! We just had our marriage blessing last weekend, and I think we had the same effect with the food.
Ooooo! Sounds like delicious magic on so many levels! Blessings and more blessings still flowing to you all from here in North Carolina!
You have a butch who can poach a salmon AND dance? Lucky you.
Mmmmm, poached salmon and you raised money for a v. good cause. May the Goddess continue to guard you and your home. We are, after all, in Taurus.
It's often that way-when the key log has been shifted, the rest just flows amazingly!
Maybe your realignment was that key log.
Love,

Congratulations! For everything - fixing the leak, raising so much money, re-aligning the household - everything sounds perfect.
Magic or no magic, it's always true that you never know what's going to happen! I love that about this incredible, precious existence we're in the midst of. Excellent!
Wow! Congratulations. Big magic!
