They always had trade
fairs next to those pilgrimage sites. And taverns.

CARRIED TO ST. BLAISE’S
WELL
healing spring
flows out of circle basin
eternal outpouring
water sought
by train ride
limping sore-foot walk
pilgrim to St.
Blaise’s Well
bright cloudless
sky
from
fountain-filled pool
over brick wall
water drops
to reflecting pond
dark and light
shared balance
daffodils yellow
and white
violets spread
beneath holly trees
family of ducks on
small islands
my wife and son
with me
afterwards I
realize I brought small wants
sip water, close
eyes
wish for healed
throat, pain to leave foot
and deeper
prayer
to heal a
bruised spirit
voice of
the Spring speaks on
to heal the bruised
spirit of All,
go on, taste my sweet water
and go on—

well we actually had a
pilgrimage last year: to the Long house and to the Seneca sipapu (place we came
out of the ground)

Both were highlights of
the weekends! Any other close-by pilgrimage sites we could visit?

We could pilgrimage to
the Burning Spring in Bristol, less than 10 miles away (north) where first
Frenchman was taken in 1669 (18 years before other Frenchies trashed
Ganondagan) as a wonder. I dunno if it still lights but we could give a try.

Burning
Spring maybe O.K. but with a different story. Is there anything from precontact
days associated with the Spring?
Catching a Frenchman
doesn't hit me as reason to Pilgrimage.
I'll google and see if
there is anything? Maybe it was a natural gas leak that bubbled up through the
water and the peace pipe went up in smoke. Maybe Joe the Poet was there
and his beard GOT BURNED OFF
Hey Guess what I made up the real story!

The region was visited by the explorer Robert de LaSalle in the 17th Century in order to see a burning spring (natural gas) known to the natives, members of the Seneca tribe

Note: Lewandowski tells me I had it wrong.."taken" doesn't mean captured but rather taken to visit a place of big magic.

I reverse engineered it
and put Fire(Li) over Water (K’an ) and got the 64th Hexagram of the
I-Ching, Wei Chi / Before Completion
above LI
THE CLINGING, FLAME
below
K’AN THE ABYSMAL, WATER
this hexagram presents a
parallel to spring, which leads out of winter’s stagnation into the fruitful
time of summer
I think we all better
prepare for a pilgrimage with maybe trials and tribulations on the way. I can
already get a sense that for all of us making the journey to CLOUBURST COUNCIL
the travelers’ tales and the stories of those fallen and risen will fill the
quiet hours till morning
