I decided to work with the Ifrit Djinn whose vessel is always with me, but who I haven't actually worked directly with for a while.
After a bit of wandering and debate, the song became clear: Blue Oyster Cult's "Veteran of the Psychic Wars".
After I came out of my meditation, I came in to listen to the song together...
Two hours later, I realized that I had gotten distracted and forgotten about song...
Ok, I'll do that now.
An hour later, I realized that I had gotten distracted again and forgotten about song...
Ok, let's do that right now.
Today, as I was doing my morning meditation, it occurred to me that I never did pull up the song.
I thought about a story that was told at a PSG workshop about a subject completely avoiding an item she was asked to sleep with and realized that maybe I wasn't just getting distracted by some clickbait story, but rather that the song represents something I've been avoiding, and I need to figure out what it is

I approached my Demon Companions, my spiritual family, about doing this together, and received an immediate yes! But there was an immediate twist. I’ve tried to not overthink what followed. I believe it is Kiy guiding me in this, like a Conductor, leading me in my impressions. A wild chaotic yet orchestrated movement, not logic, just an eruption of feelings and songs,
and an ever demanding descent…
This is the Song of my Family; the Song of One
We enter this space, Sacred, as One
Our Call, Our Song, Begins;
A song of Meat and Bone, Flesh and Skin,
Of Stormy winds and the flapping of Wings
Of Snowy Mountain tops
And Bottomless Pits….
Where the Eyes in the Darkness Ever Watch….
Each one of us, we remove the mask, placing it carefully on the Earth
and sing the song
The Song Of One….
His Call Opens the Movement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZyHev2N6Fw
He Raises His Arms, His Eyes Open Wide, but His Lips Unmoving.
It is the Song of His Heart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_iiQFsjvX8
A sudden Spray of Icy Water, the Rush of Flapping Wings,
She Feels His Calling …
She is Moved by His Desire…
She remains Hidden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWk4zqmQwVE
He Sings of Monsters & Bottomless Pits,
of the Darkness Unending and a Passion Unyielding,
of enemies who seek to divide
what Belongs
Forever
as One;
He Cries Out: Come!
Answer Your Hearts Demand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ldGjy5rgF8
Winds Shriek and Snow Flies
and Flesh … Flesh Freezes on the Bone.
The Old Ones Reveal All ….
There is a Fire in the Darkness Below. Come to Me Now!
Down & Down, Far Below ….
There is a Movement in the Darkness Below.
Moonlight on Snow…. Come to Me Now!
Fire and Ice. His Smile Slow.
His Song Unrelenting.
Ice and Shadows Swirl, Catching in Her Hair
Smoke and Embers, the Opening of Her Heart.
Moonlight on Snow….
His Wait is Over
The Serpent Responds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWOVY7yszhw
From Snowy Mountain tops
To Bottomless Pits….
From Ice, and Cold, and Endless Dark
This Song We sing as One -
We remove the mask, placing it carefully on the Earth
And Go Down
Way Down…. Where Monsters Lie in Wait
We sing the song
The Song Of One….
Way Down We Go…. Below the Surface:

Monstrous and Unrelenting,
One wth Ice and Shadow, Smoke and Embers
Am I Not the Most Beautiful Monster that You’ve Ever Seen?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjqyZWUWAL4
In the Darkness, Painted in Black, She Remembers Him.
There is Only One.
Belonging: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYPWxymohWs
Together as One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHiwswa24_w
This was intensely bonding for me. It’s a reaffirming of my true self and relationship with my inner child and our way of perceiving things; of believing in my own reality no matter the disruptions it may cause…… It’s just letting myself fly and finding my companions there, at my side.
Songs chosen: *Taboo Opening Credits; *Who Is She | I Monster - slowed; *Who Are You? ; *Me and the Devil - Soap&Skin ; *The Snake; *way down we go; *Beautiful Is Boring ; *Painted in Black; **I Am Dragon

There are so many songs and companions to choose!
In the end, one companion, one song.
My darling winged black cat, Z
And the song, Duran Duran's Danse Macabre (Mr David's Midnight Mix)
Because, lyrics.
Cat's pyjamas (naturally)
And, so fitting for this event: If you don't mind digging in the goldmine
Little did I know when I found this song, that it would be part of this event.

This is why the Mantis Shrimp is my new favorite animal,
because in the presence of such extraordinary light and beauty it embraces
DARKNESS,
It extols DEATH with the luminescent brilliance of a
DYING STAR
. . . The Mantis Shrimp is the harbinger of blood-soaked rainbows
