We take you on a journey of the Spirit, a jouney of Deities & their Elements...
In the first of our expressions are the Spirits of the Kaze Higashi, or the Eastern Winds...
We celebrate Tatsu-ta-hime, the Goddess of the gentle Breeze,
who washes us in her Enlightenment & comforts us with the sweet scents of the morning & evening airs...
We celebrate Shine-Tsu-Hiko, the God who fills the places between Heaven & Earth,
giving unto mankind the breath of life.
Together these are the Winds of the Abundant Harvest of Autumn.
Part II ~ Fire Dance
NARRATOR:
Our journey of Creation now ignotes our inner Deities with the divine spirit of the TaiYo Kaji..
or Fiery Sun...
We dance as the Flames of the great Shining Heaven,
gaurding the people, giving them Love, Warmth, Fetility, Wisdom & Peace
through the Goddess Amaterasu, whom descended unto us from the Fiery Core of Life itself..
And we give thanks in our Dance of Fire unto the God Fudo,
who is as Wise as the Stars & is our protection against the evils of the World.
PART III ~ Tea Toasting Ceremony
NARRATOR:
As our journey is hard & arduous through Life,
we must drink of the Nectar of Wisdom from the Sacred Elixer.
We must nourish ourselves through TaiYo Misu, the Waters of Life...
We drink unto Ame-No-Mi-Kumari, the Goddess of Water who grants us Eternal Life..
And unto Uga Jin, the primordial one who as a Serpent,
has climbed up our spines and shown us the way back unto Heaven.
PART IV ~ Drumming Initiation
NARRATOR:
In our journey of the Spirit we have begun to climb the Great Mountain of Initiation,
the Chikyu Yama or Great Earth Mountains...
Through the Dance of the Wind, the Crackle of the Fire & the Nourishment of the Waters of Life,
we have awakened Oho-Yama, the Great Mountain God.. & Haniyasu Hime, the Goddess of the Earth!
We shall arouse them with the movement, the vibration & the Spirit of the Drum.
The Heartbeat of the Lifeforce within us & within the great Gods themselves!
CLOSING NARRATION:
The Powers of the Wind blew us to the Solar Fire of the Heavens;
we Resurrected & fell back to the Regenerative Waters
that feed the Earth her Nectar, our Life Source..
Then Climbing the Mountains of our Highest Potential & Harnessing the Power of Good,
we have brought forth the ever-shining Light towards all Beings..
Thank you for joining us in our journey, for we are: Wicked Geisha!
SPRING EQUINOX
Ostara Gathering 2007
Part I:
The Wicked Geisha started with a Tea Ceremony after Kishijoten & Uzume called the Quarters and Inari the Elements in Japanese Vibrations, accompanied by the Gong. We wore our Silk Black Kimono with Exotic & Spring colored Obi's and Embellishments. We were given live Pussywillows & Lovely long stemmed yellow miniature Flowers as a gift before hand so we wore them in our hair to Honor our Friends and to represent Spring... Tea and Crackers were served to about 30 Friends who were standing close by. There was a delicious Fire in the Center of everything and it Burned in our Hearts...
Part II:
Transformed into Fetish Geisha to Honor the evenings activities, a Fetish Ball that evening... we came from the darkness as one Being with many arms, tossing Flowers along the path which we followed back to the Fire and our Friends. Arriving to our destination, Sai swords arrive from our shoulder straps, whipped fast to cut through the Curtain of Winter and Poetry recited in Japanese from the Mouths of the Muse:
Winter Whithering
End of Snow
Nearly Spring
At last when She was satisfied Winter had retired, out protruded from The Muse with 6 arms and 3 faces, Exquisite Magenta Flowers from her Breast, Bathed by the Fire and Starlight, Laser Beams and Crescents...
Shallow Spring
Bugs Come Out
Waters Warming
Geisha walked away and later joined guests for the Festivities... x0x
