went to a trance party in the forest saturday. most of the people there were from the city and I decided were pretty much retarded. no one knew how to tend a fire and they didn't even dig a shitter for all the foolish etarded saps. In the morning my local crew and I were the only people recycling and picking up.
Anyways, the trance sucked, and there were hardly any dancers, which makes no sense to me. You come 3 hours from your big city and just sit around a fire the whole time? Isn't the whole point of getting out of your urban environment to feel safe in the woods and go nuts with your crew? My people and I needed to get out into the forest and we also wanted to represent our local psychedelic tribe and make sure these folks didn't trash our woods. Even though the music and the people did not inspire me, I still danced my fucking ass off, tripped hard, and did my part. That is work and it is good work. And it doesn't need a pat on the back because it is my work and I'd do it regardless.
When I am at a party I try to inspire people to work for the community, even if the community only lasts for a night. It's kind of my trip and I know not every one feels or knows that its important to actively be a part of the community. Everyone wants to though, they just don't know that sometimes the littlest things can sometimes be the biggest. Every one wants to be the fuckin president but they don't want to pick up after themselves. It boggles my mind.
Luckily that was just the start of the outdoor party season and there will be way more psychedelic tribes getting together soon. On the solstice there is going to be an awesome psy party in the woods and this weekend there is a bigger party with some psytrance and darker dnb and dubstep people. Hopefully this seasons we can have some intentional fire ritual going on, at least in the psy circles. The is another thing that bugs me about most outdoor parties is the placement of the fire. It isn't something you really think about until you've been to a party where they place the fire in such a way that it unites the dj with the dancers as well as the people just trying to keep warm. It is something you will mostly see in the more psychedelic psytrance scene. Some of of my people actually travel around to different psy parties and build fires where the wood is arranged geometrically to try and invoke different spirits and energies into the gathering. They have used merkabahs to do this very intentional fire ritual. The energy of those parties is just phenomenal. When the fire is transformed into a portal and treated as an entire being in itself it brings in a whole other level of higher intelligence.
peace.
