The festival started sometime between 1716 and 1735 and was celebration that coincided with Kurosuke Inari festival at the Yoshiwara Shrine. The courtesans as well as patrons would wear fox masks and play music, dance, put on skits and then proceed in a procession with paper lanterns as the day melted into night in the heat of the 8th month.

"...this Moon asks us ‘Why do you see change as problematic? Why do you assume there comes a point when change stops? Why do you seek to defy the natural laws of birth, growth, decline and death by wanting to solidify a moment in time, a state of being, a desirable set of circumstances, beyond its ordained life span?’ ...Pay attention to how our minds work and the power we give them over us. It urges us to recognise with every fibre of our being that we don’t have to believe a single thought that passes through our head if we don’t want to. ...Mind is the ego’s domain and if we want to balance ego with spirit, getting to know our mind rather than being held hostage by it is essential..."

From Sarah Varcas' latest transmission- in regards to the last Sunday's super moon.  I'm trying to give up resistance to change...it is a CHALLENGE...to deprogram. & let things die. I greatly appreciate reminders like this.
