Chapter 93: Becoming a clanluna

During the council, nearly all the clanlunae had come into to report. Apparently, all the adults in her Clan had been invited to ‘go hunting’ by several clanlunae each. The questions had seemed to go on forever. Mariza and Vezava were getting tired to defending themselves. Finally, Iga signed:
“This Clanluna thinks that is enough for now. We will let you know our decision. Is there anything you would like to ask us?”
“Since I’ve been at the Summer Gathering, several of you have Shared Pleasures with me and indicated that you’d support my cause based on how well I’d Pleasured you,” said Mariza. “Am I Pleasuring my way into the clanlunae? Because I’d really like to be judged on the good I’ve done, not how well I made you feel.”
“Mariza, we ALL Pleasured our way into the clanlunae,” said Ura.
“Even this woman,” signed Iga.
“Since Pleasures are what makes us different from the mog-urs, and medicine women and Weeches, and Weez-urs, we expect a certain standard of skill from our members,” explained Krstulović.
“This Clanluna may reconsider her position on that,” signed Iga. “Mariza’s experience has made This Clanluna think perhaps ALL Weeches should be trained as clanlunae, just as all Weez-urs are currently trained to be mog-urs. Just in case they need the knowledge. . .”
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
When Mariza spotted the hippogriff in the midst of the herd of snorkacks, she couldn’t believe it! Slowly she crept forward until she caught the hippogriff’s eye, then she curtsied to it. It bowed back at her, so Mariza slowly moved forward to pet the horse/lion/eagle hybrid. When she was certain that the hippogriff was comfortable with her, Mariza climbed onto his back. She’d barely gotten on before it took off into the air. Mariza squealed with excitement as the hippogriff flapped its’ wings and carried her aloft. She found it a lot easier to stay on than her broom. She let it fly where it wanted in a wide circle above the Summer Gathering.
“He seems to really like you,” said Lena.
Mariza was startled to see the woman with mousey-brown hair and gray eyes riding naked on the broom beside her.
“Did you make him, or did your mother?” asked Mariza.
Lena blushed and lost control of the broom for an instant.
“Do you think we could discuss this on the ground?” asked Lena.
As Mariza nodded, the hippogriff flew lower and came to the gentle landing. Mariza noticed that Lena’s landing was a little harder. But she knew from experience how difficult brooms were to handle.
After landing, Lena pulled her wand from behind her ear, silently summoned her summer-dress and turned her back to Mariza as she put it on. This puzzled Mariza. Lena was only two years younger than her and she didn’t remember her being this modest. The Lena she knew, would have used her dress as a blanket to sit on, here, in the sun, not put it on as soon as they landed.
“What’s happened to you?” asked Mariza. “You’ve changed. Does this have to do with the hippogriff?”
“It’s kind of embarrassing,” said Lena, as she blushed again. “When Atturous started our Clan, he wanted members from all branches of the Clanluna and wanted us to be self reliant. This is why Broob chose to be my apprentice instead of moving to Abraxas Clan to study magic like everyone else does. So when we had a first Spring Heat, We did it alone and didn’t join the other herds. I was blessed at the time, so I transfigured the women who wanted to participate into unicorns.
What I didn’t take into account was that Atturous was our only centaur. So while he was busy with one unicorn, the others were going mad with desire. Then Aiacles tried to help the unicorns. Being around the Spring Heat had brought the Sphinxes into Season. Atturous joined with Europacles. Those of us who were still human starting having our own mini-Mother Festival.
When it was over, we discovered that Europacles had been Blessed with a griffin and Firelight had been Blessed with this hippogriff. It took a lot of potions to allow them both to be brought to term.”
“Well that does sound a bit embarrassing,” agreed Mariza. “But it was only the one time, right?”
Lena blushed even redder.
“Lena! You- . . .” Mariza dissolved into laughter until she fell over.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
“Luna could I speak to you?” asked Mariza.
“Only if you either lick me or get off your knees,” replied Luna, dreamily.
When Mariza reached to pull up the edge of Luna’s summer-dress, Luna grabbed her hands and pulled her to her feet.
“You want to ask me something,” accused Luna.
“Well yes,” confirmed Mariza. “I’m about to be initiated into the clanlunae and I suspect that the secret portion of the ceremony involves Pleasures, so I wanted to ask if you could somehow be a part of that. But I really want to know who you really are.”
“I’m Luna, silly,” giggled Luna, as she pinched Mariza’s nose. “Got your nose!”
“I’m too old to fall for that,” said Mariza, as she felt to make certain her nose was still on her face. “But seriously. I’ve sacrificed a lot for you. I became a redfoot, let men Relieve their Needs in me, lived without a wand for years . . . so I have to know . . . was it all for nothing? Are you, or are you not the Great Mother walking the Earth in mortal form?”
Luna went silent and turned away from her. . . .
. . . When she turned back, Mariza saw that were tears in her eyes.
“Ever since what happened to my oldest daughter, I’ve meditated on this a lot,” said Luna. “And I’ve come to the realization that When Mara declared herself to be Gaea, she was right.”
Hearing that, Mariza’s breath caught in her throat! This was the worse answer she could have possibly gotten!
“And Iga is right about me,” continued Luna. “And Vezava is right about you.”
Mariza was thoroughly confused now.
“You are right,” continued Luna. “The Great Mother IS walking the Earth in mortal form. But what makes you think she can only be in one place at a time? If she’s a Goddess, can’t she be in multiple places at once? . . . . she IS. . . . you and I and Mara and Vezava . . . we are all infused with divinity . . . we are all aspects of the Great Mother who’ve taken this form to walk the Earth. . . . We are all Gods and Goddesses! Sometimes our divine nature is easy to see . . . . we have magical powers because we’re Weeches or Weez-urs or Witches or Wizards . . . other times, like with muggles it’s less obvious. We’re transitioning from the Scorpionic age to the Libran age. So magic is ascendant. In time, the muggles will surpass us. Did you know the muggles went to the Moon decades before I was born?
So, yes, I am a goddess . . . and I will be YOUR Goddess . . .” said Luna as she placed her hand on the center of Mariza’s chest. “. . . if you will be Vezava’s Goddess. . .” Luna put Mariza’s hand over her own sternum.
“It’s been many years since I’ve seen you,” said Luna. “You’ve grown into a beautiful woman. . . . So if you don’t think it’s too icky . . . if you no longer think of me as one of your ‘mothers’, I would be happy to take a part in your ceremony! . . . . Iga’s going to flip when I show up for it . . . don’t warn her! . . . I want to see her face! . . . What made you ask me for this anyway? You’ve never asked me to go ‘hunting’ before.”
“I confronted Vezava on why she’s constantly trying to get into my furs,” replied Mariza. “She asked why, if I really believe that you are the Goddess, I’m not asking you for the same.”
“You know, there are getting to be quite a lot of clanlunae,” mused Luna. “Perhaps you should have some sort of uniform or identification badge?”
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
The clans of the Clanluna had set up their camps in a series of circles that were arranged to form a larger circle. In the center of this circle of circles had been erected an extra-large tipi. The older children had been gathered in the inner circle with drums. There drumming was the signal that drew people into the inner ring. Once the people had gathered, the medicine women came forward to stand in a group near the tipi. Each was holding a bowl filled with a tea.
“Roar!” said Ayla’s lion-headed hat.
There was a growling sound as Zeen and the Cave bears arrived, leading the mog-urs. The mog-ur of each Clan wore an animated Cave Bear cloak and each was followed by their acolytes, each bearing a bowl of tea.
Finally the clanlunae arrived and gathered in front of the tipi. As Iga signed, Griga would repeat what she’d said, loudly, for all to hear:
“Tonight we celebrate the addition of two brave women to the ranks of the clanluna,” signed Iga, The Clanluna. “Mariza, daughter of the 1st ranked Medicine Woman, Ayla, born to the Hearth of Zar has turned what was once Zorg’s Clan of the Cave Bear into the Hufflepuff Clan of the Clanluna.”
“Roar!” said Ayla’s lion-headed hat.
“Screeee!” said Luna’s Eagle hat.
“Growl!” said the Cave Bear Cloaks.
“We also welcome into our ranks, Vezava, daughter of Larnva, Mariza’s acolyte, who has earned a place amongst us of her own. Mariza, Vezava, step forward.”
“Roar!” said Ayla’s lion-headed hat.
“Screeee!” said Luna’s Eagle hat.
“Growl!” said the Cave Bear Cloaks.
Mariza and Vezava stepped forward. To prepare, they were freshly washed and naked, except the red ochre that dyed their soles. This ceremony had evolved quite a bit over the years, this was this years’ version. Zeen painted the signs of their totems on the chests of the women, then painted the sign of the crescent Moon over the signs of their totems.
“The spirit of Luna has joined with the spirit of the totems of the Stork and the Wolf!” announced Zeen.
“Roar!” said Ayla’s lion-headed hat.
“Screeee!” said Luna’s Eagle hat.
“Growl!” said the Cave Bear Cloaks.
Iga then held open the flap of the tipi for the two new clanlunae to enter. Mariza and Vezava entered followed by Iga, Griga and Wilmar.
When the tent flap closed, the mog-urs traded bowls with the medicine women and each began sharing the tea with the members of their gender.
While this was going on, Luna stepped over and entered the tipi.
The three clanlunae began shedding their clothes as soon as they entered the tipi. They had just gotten undressed when Luna unexpectedly entered the tipi. Iga immediately fell to her knees.
“Luna, what brings you in here?” signed Iga, humbly.
“My, my! I’m feeling overdressed!” said Luna as she looked around the tipi full of naked people. Pulling off her Eagle hat and summer-dress Luna answered: “I wanted to personally bless Mariza for her ceremony.”
Mariza’s heart caught in her throat at that. Luna wanted to Bless her! And she was still taking the totem strengthening herb! She hoped Luna wouldn’t be insulted by her attempt to thwart her will and promised herself that she would stop taking the herb.
Iga turned to look at Griga, who nodded and stepped out of the tipi. She left her red skirt in the tipi as she wouldn’t need it for the women’s ceremony, anyway.
Regaining their composure, Wilmar took Vezava’s hands in his and gazed deeply into her eyes. Luna followed his lead and did the same with Mariza, as Iga began signing a series of prayers to Luna.
Then Iga offered them each a sip of a mushroomy tea, before returning to her prayers. The two couples continued to stare into each others’ eyes until the tea overwhelmed them.
Luna was the first to give into temptation and kiss Mariza. By then, Mariza could see that her aura was glowing quite brightly. The colours and sights of her vision were better with her eyes open, so Mariza kept them open while she Shared Pleasures with Luna. She could see that Luna really was the Goddess. Her every curve looked divine. When she finally did close them, the visions were overpowering!
Mariza saw the woman of her dreams . . . the black-haired woman with her eyes, of whom she’d had so many visions before. It wasn’t just that this woman had the same colour eyes as Mariza, when she looked into her eyes, Mariza had a feeling that she was looking at a future or past version of herself.
“Listen to me!” said the woman, in the Zelandonii language. “If the doniers rule against me, and they hold with tradition, some women will come to cut my nose off! It’s supposed to be a mark of my disgrace. It’s been several generations since it’s been done, but I’m telling you just in case because I’ll need your help to fight them off.”
The scene shifted again . . . .
“ . . .it hath been dethided to elthiminate the flatheadth and your abominathon of mithed thpirith. A hunting party hath been thent to the fa’lodge to take care of the flatheadth. I’m here for the abominathon.”
“Not my baby! Don’t let them kill my baby! Please help me Mariza!” said the woman of Mariza’s dreams.

During the council, nearly all the clanlunae had come into to report. Apparently, all the adults in her Clan had been invited to ‘go hunting’ by several clanlunae each. The questions had seemed to go on forever. Mariza and Vezava were getting tired to defending themselves. Finally, Iga signed:

The older children had been gathered in the inner circle with drums. There drumming was the signal that drew people into the inner ring. Once the people had gathered, the medicine women came forward to stand in a group near the tipi. Each was holding a bowl filled with a tea.

There was a growling sound as Zeen and the Cave bears arrived, leading the mog-urs. The mog-ur of each Clan wore an animated Cave Bear cloak and each was followed by their acolytes, each bearing a bowl of tea.
Finally the clanlunae arrived and gathered in front of the tipi. As Iga signed, Griga would repeat what she’d said, loudly, for all to hear:

“Screeee!” said Luna’s Eagle hat.
“Growl!” said the Cave Bear Cloaks.
“We also welcome into our ranks, Vezava, daughter of Larnva, Mariza’s acolyte, who has earned a place amongst us of her own. Mariza, Vezava, step forward.”

It’s supposed to be a mark of my disgrace. It’s been several generations since it’s been done, but I’m telling you just in case because I’ll need your help to fight them off.”
The scene shifted again . . . .
“ . . .it hath been dethided to elthiminate the flatheadth and your abominathon of mithed thpirith. A hunting party hath been thent to the fa’lodge to take care of the flatheadth. I’m here for the abominathon.”
“Not my baby! Don’t let them kill my baby! Please help me Mariza!” said the woman of Mariza’s dreams.
