FORMAT

Lecture

Richard King has always felt an abiding connection to the natural world. His background is in apiculture. Richard observes that the honeybee with 100 million years of experience has forgotten more about weaving the life-web and maintaining the ancient (& now shredded) ‘Contract with Nature’ than materialist modernism ever knew!

In the mid 1960's when “Haight was Love” he visited San Francisco. This experience has had a profound life-long effect. He immediately recognised that the Counter Culture was presciently pointing western society to the recovery of its lost co-operative tribal values. These survival values have been trodden underfoot in our heedless careen into soulless mechanistic-materialism. Richard is overjoyed that these life-affirming verities are alive and well and finding their expression through the entheogenic renaissance.

Richard is a life-long student of pre-pagan Originary Tradition shamanism. He is founder of ‘An Comhaltas Celtia Og’ & ‘Thórr’s Shield & Forge’ pagan religions (in the religioning, [re-connecting] not the blind-faith sense of the word.) Thórr’s risk-reduction Bliss Bays, as a service to the community, proffer Full Body Blossoming Delightenment at Dance Party Festivals. Delightenment draws upon Neolithic shamanic tech.

Richard is an advocate for Deep Reconciliation. Guest Society (the uninvited guest from hell) has managed to spend 200 years here without bothering to learn the house rules. Deep Reconciliation, because it invites real engagement, is genuine reconciliation. It is not, (unlike John Howard’s ‘Practical Reconciliation’) just another despicably disguised form of assimilation by the dominant culture.

Deep Reconciliation is purposed to, (with the assistance and blessing of Aboriginal elders & the spirit of Australia’s native entheogen ‘Wattlewaska,’) forging an abiding relationship leading to Union with the spirits & founding ancestral cultures & Creator Beings of our Land.

The holy wattle, our national colours, the green & gold, is the binding motif & wisely chosen floral emblem of the Commonwealth Coat of Arms. It is a natural gateway to deeper realities. Richard’s dream is to see Wattle Day transformed into National Wattlewaska Medicine Ceremonies honouring our Land & the First Australians. Richard feels that, though it may take generations, Wattlewaska (Somacacia) & other powerful Earth Sacramental ceremonies will help repair the Dreaming & the Song Lines in those places where they are now in disrepair.
