Open Space for Sainthood (or its healing power)

[Wendy Farmer-O'Neil]

Dear Magus Larry,

Circumscrision into the Dupic Horde is extremely easy (although can have
unexpected after effects). And being one of those upon whom St. Murphy
showers His blessings is onerous enough, so we tend to keep catma and ritual
pretty light around here. 

There are two flavours of formal initiation:
1) put on your favourite dance music very loud and sit in a meditational
posture on the floor unmoving for 5 minutes. (known as the Stoic version)
Or
2) enter a completely silent room and dance like a wild fool as if your
favourite dance music were playing for five minutes. (Known as the Gyric
version)

After you have successfully completed either of these, take a piece of
bread, butter it on ONE side only, and throw it into the air.

If it lands butter side down, you have been accepted by St. Murphy and He
will continue to shower His Love and Blessings upon you in abundance from
that moment on. (If not, simply repeat the process until you attract His
attention.) 

Once being accepted, you may partake in the Murphic cleansing ritual and
spontaneously burst into a chorus of "Murphy loves me, yes He does..."as you
are cleaning the butter from your floor/carpet/upholstery/pet. It is
recommended that you repeat this ritual whenever receiving St. Murphy's
special attention.

The only other ritual we suggest members of the Horde practice regularly is
the Murphic Bragging Ritual.  Upon rising each day, you turn to face the
Holy Shrine of Murphdom, the resting place of the Titanic, and shout in your
loudest and best voice, "Even GOD couldn't sink it!" Then spend some moments
basking in the glow of Murphic supremacy.

We find that these two rituals generally assist us in developing the divine
laughter of St. Murphy that we can fling in the face of the chaos and
disaster of life and plants the seeds of an unbreakable joy in our hearts.

With much love and comradely chagrin,
Wendy the Incautious

Wendy:

Thank you for adopting me in to the Dupic Horde, at least until I am
formally circumscribed.  As for getting duped, that happens.

And for giving OST its special place which many of us share.  It does
make sTOST of every other meeting process I've experienced.

Brian Bainbridge reminds me that a the process for saint hood is rather
onerous -- OST would have to be dead 25 years and there would have to be
at least two miracles.  I don't think it will die out in 25 years.

As for that healing power of OST for us as facilitators as well as for
the clients, that, I think we have all experienced!
