   I have invoked Goddess in her Raven aspect and hope for blessings   
   for the world (even for criminals who start behaving). I was going to   
   wait until just after dark moon but instead now hope it will be centred   
   on dark moon. But of course Raven is a Trickster, but in this case   
   I hope that means She will move earlier than I had said. If   
   not I will try again.   
      
   Regarding my earlier Beothuk post, I guess I now again think   
   that red ochre may be associated with new/dark moon and   
   menstrual blood, not a total lunar eclipse.   
      
   And in the Haida creation legend of The Raven and the First Men,   
   I think Raven is associated with new/dark moon. However in   
   that 14-years-low-years incident, there would have been   
   evolution within the human species within region, and perhaps that   
   was over by the following full moon, which I think the Clamshell   
   is associated with. In my case, the physical evolution of   
   all species will take much longer to complete, though physical   
   markings and healing may be evident fairly soon.   
      
   Will e.g. someone in a Wolf clan get some wolf genetics? Yes.
