Caroline Casey – The Shift Network – Way of the Trickster

With Agent of Liberating Trickster Renowned Visionary Activist Astrologer
Caroline Casey

Free yourself from outdated habits and animate a more dynamic YOU…

Connect with mythological magic, unpredictable wisdom, and the trustworthy intuition of your inner trickster as you activate your ‘beautiful dangerous (life) assignment’.

We all love freedom. To cultivate an ever-expanding repertoire of responses to life is to be allied with freedom and nature’s “evolutionary ingenuity,” which is another name for the Trickster — the quality of being which comes alive in difficult circumstances and loves against all odds.

Your Trickster can help you shape-shift your reality, starting with cultivating your linguistic, metaphoric, and storytelling agility.

When you change your metaphors, you change your story… and literally change your world.

Life Can Be a Conspiracy for Your Benefit

What happens when you shift, for example, from thinking the world is out to get you to seeing the world with the eyes of “benign paranoia” — believing the universe is conspiring for your benefit?

Hint: far better things “happen” to you!

New studies shows those who believe themselves lucky are more prone to synchronicity and to fall into fortuitous events.

Conversely, when you tell yourself you’re unable to create something wondrous with your life, your subconscious mind will make it so.

The path of personal transformation requires you clear away the cobwebbed beliefs and assumptions that fill your brain and open to something more magical: thoughts that generate spontaneity, play, and delight.

This not only lifts your spirits, it lifts our culture… and makes for more meaningful relationships.

You become more magnetic for romantic partners, more “co-operative” with allies, and more catalytic for your community.

Your creative joie de vivre makes you a better speaker and a more compelling leader.

When you let go of your “harumphitude,” you emerge as a more delightful human that others want to play with.

Your degree of inner freedom is thus essential for giving your greatest gifts to the world and expressing your authentic Self.

That’s where the medicine of the Trickster comes in handy.

Activating the Trickster in your life is all about freedom from the Reality Police and the rut of old certainties.

Trickster Medicine blesses you with a new capacity to create word magic and new storylines, and use playful unpredictability to bridge divides.

Magic is simply a willingness to collaborate with everything; so you move your emotional default-setting of “status quo” to “Woof-Woof-Wanna-Play?!”

Cultivating Your New Superpower

As you savor Trickster Medicine with ever-more-gusto, you cultivate a new superpower, which infuses your life with meaning and dazzle.

That’s because Trickster Medicine is not the only medicine or practice, but it’s the sine qua non because it renders all the other practices more effective.

Trickster is one of the greatest teachers of the spiritual path AND the path of social influence. With Trickster backing you up, you can defuse conflicts, levitate into laughter and transform situations with verbal aikido.

So in the name of your freedom, we invite you to a truly unique online program with Caroline Casey that will deepen your journey and transform you into a wildly unpredictable agent of evolution.

Caroline will take you into the heart of Trickster Medicine as a path and a practice and invite you to compost self-sabotage into nutrients for a more creative life.

She’ll show you how to add spice and sizzle to all that has become routine and dare you to surprise yourself.

As you’re liberated, you help liberate others. There is no prison for the unexpected!

If you also yearn for a saner society, the Trickster can help turn you into the change agent you were meant to be. It’s enchanting AND practical to lead the way forward with unexpected surprises; they dissolve defenses and polarities and allow us to meet in the heart.

The Importance of a Fool-y Liberated Teacher

Whether you’re a seeker on the spiritual path, a veteran activist or a curious evolutionary, you’ll delight in the ways that Caroline illuminates the path to your true Self and a more liberated world.

She’s been at the forefront of new-paradigm spirituality and in the trenches of Washington, DC, politics since she was a wee little girl. She’s deeply informed by astrological wizardry and social-change-savvy.

Her mind weaves a remarkable number of threads per minute into a new tapestry of possibility, all helping you to create a more beautiful life.

Over the course of seven weeks, Caroline will show you how you can animate your Trickster skill set and fill your magic backpack with “reverent unpredictability,” which in language, metaphor, and action liberates everyone.

The truth is that both God and Goddess like to laugh and bless those who shake us out of self-inflicted, serious habits that are keeping us stuck.

When you ally with Trickster, you free up the evolutionary life force within you. You dance through the dueling dualisms to find the coherent Whole at the heart of any moment.

In this adventurous, 7-week program, you’ll harness Trickster energy to transform your life and:

Understand why the Trickster is so key to your spiritual liberation and the liberation of our world, especially in times that are heavy and hard Receive practices to expand the playfulness of your mind so your words dance off your tongue Find language that liberates your soul from old habits and opens you to a zestier experience of life See how to become a more effective changemaker in our world by metabolizing the poisons of life and the world with a light heart Cultivate your utopian imagination to dream the world you want to see into being Discern the difference between the Con Man and the Trickster (the latter liberates us from the former) Notice the mythic forces in play, making you a more savvy agent of influence Activate the detective part of you to descend to the Underworld to restore human affairs in accord with the harmony of nature Understand myths as Big Forces with which you can co-operate Discover the liberating power of words Become a more effective and delightful storyteller

The truth is that you do not need more “powers,” but to use those already available to you in your magic backpack — qualities you’ve always had but may not have known — until now!

Greater Connection Through Live Streaming Video

So you can better connect with Caroline and her teachings, all of her sessions will be live streamed on video. This video connection will be easy to use and will enhance the impact of Caroline’s teaching. Or, you can easily connect via audio, either through the Internet or your phone.

What You’ll Discover in These 7 Weeks

In this 7-week course, Caroline will guide you through the fundamental insights, skills and capacities you’ll need to access the Trickster for liberation and move into a field of serendipitous synchronicity.

You’ll be guided in becoming unpredictable and bringing in the unexpected to liberate everybody from the choreography of what has been a highly predictable culture.

Council 1: Becoming Trickster Medicine Storytellers

We gather for our 7-week journey, whose path Coyote unfurls before us, in late spring when Persephone has lit her candle and is completing her ascent up from the Underworld — and we with her! We carry the elixirs to heal the world.

We need not be depressed, if we go deep enough to gather our jaunty, spirited woof. Our willingness to be agents of the Trickster Redeemer magnetizes help. There’s no need to journey alone, co-operators are standing by! Some are mythological. Some are ancestral, fictional, historic, or in fairy tales.

All that has ever moved the human heart to goodness and kinship is made available. We begin calling in the Medicine of Earth’s collective wisdom and setting in motion themes that we’ll carry with us throughout our journey.

In our first Trickster council, we’ll:

• Convene our first Coyote Council of Cultural Influence and begin to create a resonant field of reciprocal blessing to support our dream projects, known and unknown
• Consider our lives as spiritual detective novels in which every quirky affinity is a clue to be honored
  Explore the Grail Legend, which begins, “The land is ill, due to the abuse of rank and privilege, and that people are living inauthentic lives.” Trickster Medicine is that which restores us to our authentic selves
• Explore “pragmatic mysticism” to tease from everything we’ve ever loved, studied, done, practical applications to make our own lives tangibly better
• Begin our experiment in creating a syncretized and customized Trickster, who will accompany us throughout our journey
• Invite in Scheherazade, quintessential compassionate Trickster who, through her plucky eloquence, saves not only women and the land, but even the tyrant who has hardened his heart. She holds a Valentine’s bouquet of stories whereby humans can be healed by the earth in order to heal the earth
• Start our practice of diagnosing the “news” — to understand what mythic forces are in play and become savvy agents of influence. The liberating hyphen reveals to us — dia-gnosis! (dia means “everywhere,” gnosis is “wisdom.” So all dia-gnosis is part of healing because it magnetizes the specific wisdom need.)
• Commence re-writing the world by writing witty head-lines that animate the soul — the desirable vision — for America and the world
• Big pertinent assignment: discerning the distinction between the Con Man and the Trickster. The former imprisons, the latter liberates

Council 2: Cultivating Reverent Irreverence & Compassion With Sizzle
Liberating Democracy 

Everything wants to be liberated from conditioned servitude into a way of life which enhances our vitality and serves the world. Reverent irreverence encourages us to toss everything into the cauldron — every spiritual practice, every strategy, every opinion — with the criterion “Is it equal, Mars and Venus? Humans and our flora fauna kin? Is the Trickster welcome? Can the truth be addressed without fear?” Yes?! We ladle it out. No? We throw it back in for another round of bubbling and brewing.

We’ll let go of repetitive patterns and self-sabotage and learn how to fully co-operate with our fellow humans, not only in our personal sphere but in our culture.

In this council, we’ll:

• Cook everything back to its originating impulse. What did this want to be, before it got hoodwinked? And offer ourselves as creative collaborators to that holy spark
• Welcome Coyote, who hurls lightning at the closed story-loop, opening the circle of constraining habit it into a liberating spiral of wild possibility
• Toss our addiction to having an enemy into the cauldron, along with our desire to punish, and ladle out a desire to liberate and heal!
• Learn how to navigate the Underworld when external support dissolves
• Reclaim the art of blessing, informed by the wisdom of Jupiter
• Gather our medicine stories to bless each person’s project that they undertake

Council 3: Breaking Old Spells
Taking New Vows With Saturn & Uranus — Setting Free the Past by Becoming Disciplined Wild People 

“Disciplined wild” is not really a contradiction. What we call wild nature is incredibly disciplined, much like wolves, which also embody inspiring models of leadership.

So we call in the wolves.

We all take vows, as young people, an assessment of “reality” and what we must do to survive. And they are necessary and useful. For a time. But then they go blub blub blub — into the unconscious, where they are no longer useful vows but binding spells. (We will also address, and rummage through ancestral vow and spells we may have taken on.)

When we gather in this manner, we can toss into the Underworld River all outworn vows and ladle out new more useful vows. Whatever we do for ourselves grants us the spiritual muscle tone to do that same thing in the world. Humans are sorely in need of breaking old spells and taking new vows.

In this Trickster council, we’ll:

• Begin “insourcing” everything we’ve been outsourcing and de-conditioning ourselves to become agents of principles — rather than subjects of laws — via the Gurdjieffian Levels of Consciousness teaching
• Liberate our discernment to quicken our strategic savvy
• See how to become directors of our own movie
• Explore the wonderful world of “complicity” and see, without shame or blame, how we are complicitous in whatever’s going on
• Inhale our complicitous creative chi from the undesirable, and exhale into the desirable
• Suck the “g” out of “kingdom”: exhale it everywhere — leaving us with “kindom” — the Kindom of Heaven is at hand!

Council 4: Dedicated Acts of Beauty Invite Power Into the World
The Dance of Venus & Mars

The world is being destroyed by uninitiated Mars. Mars without Venus equals a hyper-yang death frenzy. Throughout mythological history ‘tis Venus who initiates Mars. Where there is war, let there be Art. Venus magnetizes and invites in the desirable then hands it to Mars to animate. (And Venus and Mars are not the same as masculine and feminine, for they both dance within us all in unique customized ways.)

Venus says: “If all war is a failure of imagination and beauty — then all peace is a triumph of imagination and beauty.”

In this council, we’ll:

• Welcome Inanna, whose 2500-year-old Sumerian myth contains the orbital cycle of Venus and teaches us that those who survive the journey to the Underworld earn the opportunity to be cultural Trickster Redeemers
• Discover navigational tips on what gets us through the Underworld when conventional external support dissolves. What must we die to, lest we die from?
• Practice loving disharmony back into harmony greater than existed before
• Invoke Venusian energy to magnetize what we desire

Council 5: Expanding Our Metaphoric Agility & Repartee With Mercury-Uranus
Sparking Our Imagination & Crafting Our Language

This week, we’ll dedicate ourselves to the magic of language and the art of critique and blessing. We’ll explore spicy satire and compassion with sizzle. Let’s be surprising and thus liberating. There’s no prison for the unexpected. Linguistic precision guides the vision, and hums our mythological DNA.

We gather to craft our storytelling skills and strategy, that our language, metaphor, and story be in accord with our dedicated hearts.

In this council, we’ll:

• Liberate our truth-telling response and clothe it in metaphor
• Harness the power of Uranus and Mercury for new turns of phrase that open new horizons of possibility
• Access Neptunian qualities to reanimate the Aesclepion, Chiron’s healing cultural centers of antiquity, dedicated to dreaming, healing, and theatre
• Recognize that mythic figures animate the intrinsic intelligence in nature and honor them in a different way

Council 6: Becoming Artists of Atmosphere
The Neptunian Realms of Influence 

In this council, we learn to move the images in our mind in order to manifest external reality. We dive into the Qabalistic teachings on visualization and ways to metabolize the poison of the world.

We’ll cultivate utopian imagination (enough with the dystopian, we’ve got that part down). We’ll see how to create the atmosphere where the desirable can take place and practice Reversal Magic — sacred teachings of the Bunny Planet (see Rosemary Wells’ children’s books).

We’ll also consider metaphor as the incarnational garb whereby power enters the world and mythic figures are metaphoric animations of intrinsic intelligence in nature.

In this council, we’ll:

• Play with the possibility that the Divine wants to be liberated from past confines of human imagination
• Delve into the Qabalistic teachings on Neptune, dreams, visualization — practices whereby to efficiently move the images in our mind
• Practice “metaphoric agility”
• Let all natural facts be social strategy metaphors
• Explore how to become the person that we would have so loved to have met when we were 12
• See that suffering is not a credential, it’s an assignment. If we ever went through a time of feeling we didn’t have a voice, it’s not to occasion melancholy, but a clue as to our Medicine assignment: being a voice for that which has no voice!

Council 7: Blessing Poker — I See Your Blessing & Raise You One
Embodying Our Customized Trickster 

Jupiter proffers, what is the one way of relating to the world that is guaranteed replenishing and never depleting? Blessing! The art of blessing redeems everything in our lives and serves to gets us through the times when we must travel through the Underworld. Blessing does not mean letting go of critique, which is its necessary partner. We simply graduate beyond the dualism to see the intrinsic beauty in all things.

In this final council, we’ll:

• Gather blessings from all cultures that we may be agents of reciprocal blessing, “May it go well for you!” “And for you!”
• Learn to critique and bless
• Further practice the art of dia-gnosing and blessing. The latter conjures the wisdom the former needs to heal
• Embody our customized Trickster with all necessary skills
• Bless each participant’s deepest heart’s desire, that our inner dedication may magnetize outward opportunity
• Celebrate our graduation in which our customized Trickster with all necessary skills steps into our body
• Bless the world!

Liberating Tales of Shamanism & Priestesses
Audio Dialogue With Caroline Casey and Max Dashu

Caroline Casey converses with one of her favorite humans, Max Dashu, who embodies the scholarship to which she has been dedicated for over 40 years, the suppressed archives of women’s power. Tales of shamanism, priestesses, the war on reverence — that began so long ago, and now is at another height. Until now! May we all be the antidote to the poison in the world, by embracing our “weird” — our destiny unfurling before us whereby to cultivate, animate and contribute our unique gifts to the community — at this Time of Dire Beauty. That we may all be the balm!

Max Dashu is an American feminist historian, author, and artist who has focused her life’s work on uncovering women’s suppressed histories, which has meant delving into the gendered history of the witch hunts. Her areas of expertise include female iconography, mother-right cultures, and the origins of patriarchy. She’s the founder of the Suppressed Histories Archives, and the author of the book, Witches and Pagans: Women in European Folk Religion, part of a multivolume series about women in European folk religion and the witch hunts.

First Visionary Activist Show
Audio Dialogue With James Hillman

Listen in on Caroline Casey’s completely pertinent romp with Trickster-Jungian James Hillman. In this rare interview upon the release of The Soul’s Code, the now great ancestor Hillman opens up about culture, magic, and the truth of our human destiny.

James Hillman created a new vision of psychology, one in which psychology becomes a “supreme discipline” concerned not only with the psyche of humanity but the “soul” which is at the heart of the world. Vilified by some, he has been called brilliant, explosive, and poetic by others. While some psychologists have applauded Hillman’s call for a return of the soul to a central place in psychology, others have been put off by the fact that Hillman’s own writings are critical of the humanist tradition, highly provocative, and occasionally abstruse.

“I felt my own chosen alignment with the planets grow”
Each week I felt I knew a bit more how best I could use myself to fulfill my soul’s destiny. My relationship to the universe became much more alive for me as I did the weekly assignments and I felt my own chosen alignment with the planets grow. I also began to appreciate the information, if used rightly, that astrology could give me.

More Praise for Caroline Casey…

“You are so cool.”
— Marianne Williamson, spiritual teacher

“I was writing down what SHE was saying…”
I recently did a radio interview on KPFA out of San Francisco with a woman named Caroline Casey which was pretty much the most fun interview I’ve ever done — a sort of astral-cosmic freewheeling romp through big ideas. It was definitely the only interview I’ve ever done where I was writing down what SHE was saying as we spoke.
— Elizabeth Gilbert, Author

“I really hit the jackpot…”
When I started seeing Caroline Casey, I really hit the jackpot… Her readings are on a level beyond anything I have ever experienced. She mixes in philosophy, religion, history, literature, mythology, and symbolism, along with her specific interpretation of my chart in our sessions. Readings with her are riveting and fun as well as informative. She interprets meaningfully, given the position of the planets at the time and day.
— Sally Quinn, Author of the forthcoming book Finding Magic: A Spiritual Memoir

About Caroline Casey

Caroline Casey is known for her unique art of astro* mythological* political* guiding* meta-storytelling — which is presented in myriad multimedia venues.

For more than 22 years, she has been the weaver of context for The Visionary Activist Show, (on KPFA and KPFK, Pacifica Network). Her show is dedicated to anything we need to know to have a democracy: Critique and Solution, using the astrological frame story that encourages us all to contribute to a Renaissance of reverent Ingenuity.

Caroline began studying astrology as a late teen. She was the kid who got to hang out at a salon presided over by Dr. Andrew Weil, comprised of way cool intellectual political mystics, reading anything the Whole Earth Catalogue recommended including Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, with whom she studied Grail legend and Animal Myths in later years.

Caroline is dedicated to astrology as one of the great meta-languages of antiquity, uniting everything of consequence: personal and collective change, ritual magic, and esoteric philosophy. She studied at the Astrological Lodge on Baker Street in London, traveled through India, returned to Brown University. She’s studied everything useful to astrology: the Grail legend, comparative religion, Sufism, Voudoun, Oriental Theatre, Middle Eastern Dance, film, writing — all contributing to a degree in semiotics, how creation is symbolic.

She’s a rousing and frequent keynote speaker at political, environmental, spiritual, psychological, and astrological conferences, as well as an MC at global music and activism festivals — including MCing the spoken word stage at the Symbiosis Eclipse Festival in Oregon.

Caroline continues her studies of magic, mythology, literature, and social activism all over the world.
