Found this in the Winter 1991 Katuah Journal.

In Less Than Ten Moons
A message for my Brothers at Lewisburg

In less than ten moons,
the moans of pleasure in a moment’s quiet passion
flow steady as the river
into moans of labor.

The blending of two spirits in sacred dance,
in less than ten moons,
the creator weaves beneath my skin
into a new life.

I listen to you deny your power to change,
to rise above the habits of self devastation
that have always held you back.
You tell me that you are too weak, that it is too hard...
In quiet understanding, I smile...
Do you think you walk alone?

My brother, when you can see the other road,
the birthing has already begun.

Does it help you to know
that it is useless to tell me
what can not be done?

Three times, I have felt the swelling of life within my belly,
Three times, I have birthed between my legs a living miracle,
Three times, I have watched the first breath of a warm, wet newborn
And seen with my own eyes, and felt with my own flesh,
and known with my own heart,
the power of the Spirit That Flows in All Things
to change the world...
In less than ten moons.

From the inside cover:

Statement of Purpose

Here,
In the Katuah Province
of these ancient Appalachian mountains
where once the Cherokee Nation lived in freedom
between the Tennessee River Valley and the Eastern Piedmont
between the valley of the Roanoke and the Southern Plain
on this Turtle Island continent of mother Ela, the Earth

Here,
In this place we dedicate ourselves to remembering our deep connection to the spirit of the land.
We bring this connection into the being and the doing of our daily lives
When the land speaks, we listen and act
We tune our lives to the changes, to the seasons
We respect the limits of the land
We preserve, defend, and restore the land
We give thanks for all that is good

Harmony is no longer an ideal; it is an imperative.
The land is a living being. She is sacred.
As the land lives, so do we.
As the spirit of the land is diminished,
our spirits are diminished as well.

Katuah Journal sends a voice...
with articles, stories, poems, and artwork
we speak to the spirit of all the living, breathing
inhabitants of these mountains
in hopes that we, the human beings,
may find our place in this Great Life.

Other noteworthy names to check out from this publication: Rob Messick, Thomas Rain Crowe.

Thinking of you!

Came across some materials by an astrologer activist and immediately thought of you.

Caroline Casey
(Activist)

If you do a computer search of her name, you'll find she's been in all kinds of involvements.

Thanks! I have actually come across her before... very interesting, but not something I felt like I could ‘learn astrology’ from at the time, if you know what I mean... I’m kind of in a low-screen-time phase right now, but I will definitely put this on my reading list!

Her book on 'the gods' was among the first of a bunch of astrology books I found, via thrift stores, etc. Haven't pulled out that book in years now. {It's in one of my storage bins.} You'd probably really like that one, and have an affinity to her unique approach.

The reason I thought to mention her is the meta-poetic "shamanic" symbolism 'her world' is imbibed-with.

If she were to have a campfire circle of women in the woods, who are into the animals/wolf/coyote kind of shamanistic journeying, (and I could gift you with total resources to attend it). I can imagine how nurturing that experience could be to you. And to be physically with other women of same 'being'.

Glad you've already come across her.
I like to match people to those who can add to their lives.

Low screen time?..
I should do that too.
What a 'noisy' world.

Have a Great Week.
