THE WEAVE:
Saturn continues
to torture Vesta
with literature…
"I think you are the inner shaman, V," Saturn decides, as he flips through the pages of 'Personal Mythology', "Not the counter myth- That might be Persephone." "What makes you say that?" Vesta asks him, in a bored tone. Saturn looks over the edge of the book at her, "According to these accounts, the inner shaman shrugs a lot, and says things like, 'Though the path be Dark, the goal is Light.'" "Yeah," V shrugs, "That's true.. that sounds like me. What are the inner shaman's responsibilities?" "I'm so glad you asked," Saturn perks up, as he clears his throat, "Page 40 says, 'The inner shaman has 3 duties. 1: to maintain a conduit between the waking consciousness of 'Ordinary Reality' and the hidden reality of 'Other Worlds.'" "Sounds like THE MATH..." V trails. Saturn continues, "2: to creativity and effectively bring new circumstances into accord with your guiding mythology." Vesta nods, "THE WEAVE..." "3," Saturn finishes, "to guide the evolution of your existing mythology." Vesta says nothing. Saturn waits, "...Come on, no bites?" Vesta stares at him blankly. He sighs, "It's your davenport, book clubs, and the beLoved Queries." "What if you are the inner shaman, beLoved?" Vesta queries Saturn. He furrows, "I couldn't be," he shakes his head, "You have been aLive, longer than me." "Have I, Lover-boy?" Vesta grins, "I guess we will know, once this book is through, and I've been punished thoroughly."
