Actual World Happenings [unknown to me]: Global Internet Outage Occurred Overnight

I began the evening by seasoning my food with rosemary because I wanted to dream; I needed to dream, so that I can know. Rosemary definitely enhances dreams. I also gave my ancestors an offering.
The dream was in two parts. It started with me in a house that I did not recognize, and I was supposed to be babysitting a young boy whose mom was performing a spiritual ceremony. The dream then shifted to me working in a Botanica with two friends, where different spiritual groups were initiating at the same time.
The first group that came in was a Voodoo group from Haiti. The second group was a spiritualist group from what I perceived to be New Orleans. They were speaking in tongues and dressed in white, acting more like church people over their initiate — however, it was certainly not traditional Christianity. Everyone wanted different products from the Botanica for their particular initiate.
An African spiritualist group also came in, led by a beautiful priestess who was very spiritual. There was water all around her, but it wasn’t the type of water we’re used to; it had a green tint to it and glowed. Suddenly, a giant snake entered the botanica, coiling itself into a large circle, with the same ethereal water within the circle. The priestess had summoned the snake. All of her followers got into the water, and since I was standing in the middle of the Botanica, I was in the water too. The water overtook me. I heard someone calling my name, saying, “Get her out of the water,” which eventually someone did.
However, there was a priest who remained in the water, and he brought me a huge fish, cut into pieces and put on a shish kebab stick. He told me to eat it for sexual health, and I said I would. He had a young boy working with him, and he fished out a large fish that looked like a hogfish and presented it to me. I had to write a song for these people, which I’m including here. Enjoy:
Serpent’s Blessing
by my company AG Productions
[Verse]
Serpent whispers through the reeds in rhythm, tail spins
Priests chanting, holy vibe, castin’ spirits in
Magickal waters flowing, life in liquid form
Blessings rain down, feel it when the storm
[Chorus]
Dance with the green snake, bring the rain to earth
Priestesses conjure, mother wisdom’s birth
Blessed by the bite, big fish on the dish
Serpent bless the waters, make the magick wish
[Bridge]
Flows like the river, essence in the breeze
Magick in the water, hands touching trees
Rituals in moonlight, powered by the tides
Whispering secrets, where the serpent hides
[Verse 2]
Deep in the forest, sacred circle forms
Serpent’s prayer woven, ancient books torn
Priests gather herbs, potions in the night
Fish cooked over flame, green serpentine sight
[Chorus]
Dance with the green snake, bring the rain to earth
Priestesses conjure, mother wisdom’s birth
Blessed by the bite, big fish on the dish
Serpent bless the waters, make the magick wish
[Verse 3]
Eyes glow emerald under starlit skies
Faith in the serpent, hear the sacred cries
Magick in the veins, life in full bloom
Ancients guide the way, from the cradle to the tomb
A Special, Unexpected Spirituality
The most surprising of all the groups that came in was the group of clowns. They were all sizes and genders, looking very serious. There were about 12 of them, and they had a younger initiate also dressed like a clown. They needed some products to finish the initiation. I did not know how to help them, and the guy who owned the Botanica was upstairs, so I called for him.
I said, “You have a group of…” I didn’t want to call them clowns, so I said, “a group of people of a special spirituality.”
One of the clowns looked at me and said, “We are from the entertainment system.”
Avoiding the Scene
I nodded and left because I did not want to be a part of whatever it was that they were doing. But maybe I needed to rethink that. Comedians frequently become movie stars, talk show hosts and well-known stand ups; people need laughter as medicine. There are many rich funny people and everyone’s heard of the Ringling Brothers, Eddie Murphy, and Dave Chappelle. I resolve that clowns are to be respected, so I had to write a song for them. Here are the lyrics:
Below is the remix version:
Clown Divinity
By my company AG Productions
[Verse]
In the shadows of the circus tent, light flickers, went
Down the rabbit hole where true jesters get sent
Painted faces, hidden graces, walk the line of sin
Clown god bless the chosen, wealth flowin’ in
[Verse 2]
Costumes bright, night so grim, laughter echoes dim
Jesters kneel beneath the brim, emotions like a hymn
In the chapel of clowns, gold rains down, jewels strewn
Comedic harvest, reaching high, dark moon
[Chorus]
Clown divinity, laughter an infinity;
Riches rain from painted skies, fame a lit ministry
Hallowed by jester’s creed, every tear’s a comedy
Clown god’s prophecy, in laughter we believe
[Bridge]
Step in the ring, soul to bring, honk of angels sing
Caught between a joke and truth, entertainers’ wing
Holy face paint smeared, divine gestures feared
Clown god’s embrace near, blessings always sheared
[Verse 3]
Sacred mimes, twisted rhymes, rituals at times
Deep inside the undercroft, performance crimes
Each show a sacrosanct delight, housed in lunar sight
Laugh lines cut, riches thrust, veil of the night
[Chorus]
Clown divinity, laughter an infinity;
Riches rain from painted skies, fame a lit ministry
Hallowed by jester’s creed, every tear’s a comedy
Clown god’s prophecy, in laughter we believe
I Know That Was A Lot, but….
Basically, in summary, there were numerous forms of spirituality, but of course there were no Christians as we know them today. The Christianity had morphed into other systems. And it felt like this was the future, so it’s going to be interesting to see. Please note that all the forms of spirituality were real, they all had their own gods, and they were all to be respected.
Take care.
