Black Lives Matter!
Any large event, physical or cyber, is an opportunity for those who work with nonphysical energy.
Years ago, when I was learning (last millennium, back in the 1980s), one of the comments I received that changed the attitude of the group I was in - including myself - towards events such as the olympics was that it was a large gathering of people where their psychic barriers were likely to be down. Now, in some group situations, that can lead to enhanced negativity and violence - riots, "football" (soccer) hooliganism, and the like. In other situations, it can lead to enhanced positivity - such as South Africa's win in the 1995 Rugby World Cup, quite a few non-violent actions, and Internet events (keep in mind that all the electrons / information / energy shooting around the Internet is actually directed through a surprisingly small number of physical computers, and thus is all in contact from time to time).
I am finding, at the moment, that many people in lockdown are increasing psychically vulnerable. If they were all vulnerable for different reasons, that would mean there is a massive amount of work to address this, but much as the shared focus of large events and the shared electronic proximity of Internet traffic creates a sort of unity, so too does the fact that this is all pandemic related create an opportunity.
Now, there are matters to be attended in the physical world, and there are opportunities from this time - and I have been contacted by a respected counsellor who is preparing an article on those opportunities for this blog, but there are also opportunities for psychic work.
Before doing any such work, it is vital that one look after oneself - which often means also looking after significant others (loved ones including friends), even if that is "only" by electronic contact and distant or absent healing or lighting candles.
Having done that, there are people posting excellent suggestions for on-line rituals - for example, the magnificent Laura Tempest Zakroff, T Thorne Coyle, and John Beckett. Those suggestions also include the additional crisis-opportunities of the worldwide protests against social and police racism and police violence, and the climate crisis. (We're also facing an existential crisis as a result of the existence of nuclear weapons, but that lacks the immediacy of public focus and attention, and thus requires a different approach.)
Now, what can be done psychically boils down to the usual - clearing nonBPM units, and creating/strengthening BPM units. In this instance, I consider strengthening humour and clam is key - far more so than trying to clear the energies of frustration, anger, and hate, although that does have to be done at some time as well.
I've been reading Srđa Popović and Matthew Miller's "Blueprint for Revolution: how to use rice pudding, Lego men, and other non-violent techniques to galvanise communities, overthrow dictators, or simply change the world" (pub. Scribe, 2015, ISBN 978-1925113587, Amazon), which is a development of my reading of Gene Sharp (see also here, here, here, here, here, and here) and Paul K Chappell, and stresses the use of humour - of laughtivisim.
That, I consider, is what we need now - good, gentle, inclusive humour. Laugh, and then radiate the energy.
OK, so, having mentioned John Beckett, here are some interesting articles by him recently:
I've also published a more serious article on current events here.
Finally you may start to to notice the "WLNGRHDMT" from time to time. That is a spell, from David Salisbury's "Witchcraft Activism: A Toolkit for Magical Resistance", is a spell based on removing some of my self imposed limitations on what I do - I've been holding back magically to protect some of those close to me, but that seems to now be of limited value, so I may as well stick my neck out magically and draw the flak. That will change some of my magical work, but you probably won't notice much - if any - difference here.
