Theme – All or Nothing

 This truly has been a Theme. As far as I Know it is where my rent situation stands - all rent due by June 5th or it is over and I must leave. It accurately describes the outcome - either way. With this home, there is so much great potential fdor my life. Without it, i have nothing left. It apples to my efforts, but most especially my faith. If I'm not going to give it my all, then I might as well give nothing.

Lesson – Be Willing to Deserve It

 At first, this seems like a matter of self-worth [and that is applicable.] But, I think it is more a statement of living. I want this home. I want to stay here. Not only do i need to believe that I deserve to, but I must live accordingly. Right Thought, Right Word, Right Action. I must always remember what it means to me to be here - be grateful for it, love it, and live to give back to the World for the blessing.

Observation – If You Want to Receive, You Must be Willing to Give

This actually came to me today. Cuddlebug and I have been disagreeing over planting some herbs and such in the planters I created last year. We planted last year and I want to continue. She doesn't want to invest the money, time, or energy if we are losing the home in July. I completely understand that. As I told her, I face that thought every day right now. But, at the same time, What You Feed Energy Into Grows. What You Put Out Comes Back to You. Continuing the planting tells The Universe we are intent on staying and continuing the relationship withThe Homestead. I suggested that the worse case scenario is that we plant, then have to go, and we leave them as a blessing for the next tenants. No different than we were blessed with the raspberry bushes. If you want to receive blessings, you have to be willing to give blessings. She still didn't like that. If she puts in the investment she is not leaving them for someone else. So, I decided I will do it on my own.

The Post

 Life is in such turmoil these days. I haven't been able to get my bearings. Time is ticking away quicker than I can handle.

As you may or may not know, Fellow Travelers, my home is in jeopardy. Since the stroke, my finances have been so very difficult. I have been primarily living off of people's generosity. I have been barely making my bills - phone, wifi, insurance, etc. Rent has been a whole other matter.

At first, Brother John did not seem concerned and neither was I. I mean, within only a few weeks I was able to catch up the rent to the end of the year. But then contributions slowed a great deal. It didn't seem to worrisome in anticipation of disability and the back pay I believed would go with it. However, I have learned there is no back pay. Then, on top of that, Brother John has been having his own financial challenges and he reached a "breaking" point. This is fair and reasonable. [I have no ill feelings toward this whatsoever.] But, he is wanting [as best as I can discern] all past rent due by June 5th or I have to vacate by July. This presents what seems to be an impossible GOAL.

But, it has also made me quite reflective.

The Homestead and I have quite the history. One could say it has been magickal. Previously, I had done a series of supplemental posts describing that journey. The were titled Home Sweet Home and were posted between Dec. 6-23, 2023. What it was was a series of journal writings. I was so engrossed with what was happening but I didn't want to put it in the blog for fear that it would deteriorate the energy. So I kept a seperate record of how things progressed.

I will recap some of that now.

I first came to The Homestead in 2019 to house/dog sit for Brother John and Sister Jen. It was an instant connection and I was "in love." So much, in fact, that when they returned from their trip I told Brother John that if they ever decided to sell to let me know because I would figure something out. Admittedly, he gave me a slightly funny look. And who could blame him? At the time, I was fairly newly homeless and without any reasonable income.

I would return several times over the next few years to watch the dog and house. When it worked, I would have The Princesses come and stay with me. It was the only time we could get together with me being homeless.

Each time I would return, The Homestead would speak to me more and more -- revealing what life here would be like. In return, each time I came back I would put myself in the mindset that it was my home. And, to be honest, it felt like my home. Eventually, I would have The Princesses take the same approach. I wanted them to Zen on The Homestead, connect with it.

The truth is, for me, no place felt as much like home as it did here. Not even Olde Geistopia.

In 2022, I was still homeless but staying at The Nest - an apartment rented by The Theatre that they were not using at that time. I had been involved in an accident in February. Someone rear ended me on the highway and totaled The Vantasm.

I think it was March-ish when Brother John asked me to come up and clean up the garage. I took the bus up here and he was going to take me back after work. It was at this time he told me that they were cleaning things up because they had decided to sell.

I kept on a poker face but my stomach was suddenly like lead. This was what I wanted but I was so very far from being able to manage a purchase.

Around Memorial Day, The Princesses and I would return to sit some more. We also amped up the energy. We would talk more about what like here. Cuddlebug and I even spent a few mornings sitting in the garage talking [because I knew the garage would become the Workshop. I think that was when we planted crystals around the prperty in an effort towards manifestation.

Two things happened during that stay. First, one day I was out under the carport enjoying a cigarette. I was looking out over the yard, towards The Grove, when I had a vision. I 'saw' fall. I guess-timated Oct/Nov. I was so confused by this. How would this be possible? They were going to be putting the house up for sale before then and I was in no position to purchase. How would I see Oct/Nov here?

The other thing was a little different. There was a day when Cuddlebug and I wanted to run out for a bit and Sunshine asked to stay behind. She wanted to dye her hair...red. I was uncomfortable. Hair dye. Red. That shit stains!

Both my daughters assured me that it wouldn't stain. They have done it before. Something about the brand they used. Anyway, we returned to find Sunshine finishing up and red spread all through the bathroom. She did scrub at it and got almost all of it. There was one little ring left. I was upset but not mad. I just felt bad knowing they wanted to sell. Yet, on some level, I think I had known in that moment. In fact, that day is in my yearly calendar as 'Sunshine Mark Day.'

Time moved on, as it has the annoying habit of doing. In August, the Princesses and I returned from a weekend beach trip and I returned to my homeless ways. I had taken to parking in the same lot overnights. I was there too much. I know this because, eventually, I would get the attention of the police. They didn't bother me but they were definitely scoping me out. They weren't shy about letting me know that's what they were doing either.

Well, I just didn't need any trouble, so I tried to think about alternatives. By this time, Brother John and Sister Jen had bought their new home and moved there as they continued to prepare this one for sale. I asked if I could park in the driveway overnight. I figured then I wouldn't be bothering anyone, nor would I be bothered. They agreed. In fact, Brother John said to feel free to go in and use the shower.

The house was up for sale but hadn't sold yet. This went on for some time and I continued on here as a safe spot. Over time things would shift and develop. Eventually I would be invited to sleep in the house as well, make some food. As this went on, I continued tro think about living here. I prayed every day for it. I loved it. It was perfect for me..and my family. [I did include in my p[rayers - "only if it won't harm Brother John and Sister Jen."]

From August through late November, The Homestead went under closing 5 times. It never went through. Each time became increasingly interesting and also tense for me. There was one - in October, I think - when the buyer withdrew the offer just 3 hours prior to closing. One interesting thing that came of this is that I stayed on here through it all, and, as life would have it, it just so happened that I would actually see Oct/Nov here.

Before I forget - in September, there had been another vision [and all of this is verifiable through those other posts.] I 'saw' snow out the front window. Again, this made no sense.

Eventually, they would decide to rent instead of sell. I had been waiting for this moment. I let them show the house to one person, then I made my move. I had made the calculations and so I approached them with a rental offer. The opportunity for me was great. They weren't going to require a credit check - which I couldn't pass. They weren't asking for a deposit or 1st months rent - which I couldn't have paid.

To me, this was my one and only chance to stop living in my car.

I went to their home and discussed things with them. My offer was non-traditional. I wanted to pay weekly instead of monthly. I even included $50 extra each week to put towards the electric. They wanted to think it over. A few days later, I would get a message that said "We will start the arrangement in January. In the meantime, enjoy your holidays."

The next day, it snowed. The first snow of the season.

That has how my whole relationship with the Homestead has been. Visions and inspirations that would eventually come to pass. Each thing would add to living here.

For example - in 2023 Cuddlebug and her bf moved in so she could start school in the fall. We were finding that we were challenged with freezer space and had frequently discussed the obtaining of a second unit. I was hesitant because we really didn't need a second fridge, just freezer space.

In November, the whole refrigerator would randomly die one day. Within 24 hours we had a replacement here. It was older and not as big and it didn't solve our freezer issue. But at least we weren't without. However, it wasn't long before we were able to get the original unit fixed. [The replacement stayed in the porch area.] Now we had 2.

Our cat was a similar thing. Cuddlebug was insistent that she wanted one and I wasn't a fan of the idea. It's not that I dislike cats. I just didn't see myself as a person who would have one as a pet. Anyway, she had friends stay here for a couple of weeks while they dealt with a housing emergency. One of them had a kitten. So, of course, the conversation would be had again. One morning, before leaving to work for the day, I said, "If that cat catches a mouse, then you can get a cat." I was on the road less than an hour when I received the picture. The cat had caught a mouse.

And, so it goes, on and on.

It was never easy. I worked more than people realize. In fact, I probably spent more time out on the road than I did at The Homestead. For almost 2 full years I did this. I struggled and I worried, but I kept pushing onward.

I had started the whole venture -$160 in my account. That is how I started New Year's Day 2023. In 2023, I would spend over $1000 in overdraft fees. It was rough but i never stopped pushing and trying.

2024 had it's struggles as well, but it also started to find balance. I was managing and making small strides. I paid no overdraft fees in 2024. And, when I did my taxes, I learned that, had the stroke not happened, I was on track to make about $10,000 more in 2024 than 2023.

Unfortunately, the stroke did happen.

But even that becomes part of one of the 'vision' stories. Like i said, life was balancing out. Around late August/September, I started having visions of spending more time at The Homestead and less on the road. Each and every time I would ask how that was possible. It made no sense.

Then, the stroke happened, and I got [part of] my answer.

The thing you have to understand is that this truly is the perfect home for me. It fits all of the requirements I had in my head. In gives me Just Enough of what I need to be me. There are bedrooms for everyone. A very functional kitchen. Washer/Dryer. 2 full bathrooms [so there's no need for congestion. Kind of. That's another story.] I have a functional Workshop - better than what I was able to put together at Olde Geistopia. A room dedicated to just my spiritual work. A yard perfect for flowerbeds and gardens - and already having some in play.

A Place for Everything & Everything In It's Place.

This whole process is taking so much longer than I had ever thought - my recovery, returning to regular work, balancing the rent and finances. And, now, the pressure is on.

If I'm being honest, I do not believe that G-d's plan is for me to lose this home. The truth is, even as I try to let go of it it still feels like home. I don't 'see' me leaving. I accept the possibility. I have made many of the necessary plans should it come to that. But, when I Zen and focus, I can't see it. Even when I try.

I don't know how it plays out. I don't know where the answer lies. I've put it out and G-d has responded. Things are coming to me but they make so little sense. For instance, I was without an air compressor for a year. This is one of the two main tools in crafting. Within days of getting the message from Brother John, G-d sent my a compressor - bigger than anything I would probably ever need.

How does that help me now? It takes time to craft anything different. I can't craft that much by June. That's how most 'answers' have been. They are great for a long-term situation. Spiritually, it all makes sense. Planting seeds in the spring. Over the summer you tend them. The tending season begins on Thursday.

Some things that have come along will yield funds quicker, perhaps, but not nearly enough.

I'm all confused and anxious. Still, I can't seem to muster up doubt. Yes, I question things daily. But it never sticks or develops into something. With every fiber of my body & soul I believe this is my home. We are connected. I belong here.

I just don't know how that happens.

Without the home, I am nothing.

The Totems & Archetypes

from Ted Andrews’ Animal Speak

Ant - Industriousness, Order, and Discipline

Symbol of work and industry. Wisdom and intellect in their endeavors is often acclaimed. Social. Community activity. Gathering, hunting, growing. May find that the cycle of industriousness and building of goals may increase over a period of twelve years. Cycle of twelve - days, months, years - will be of significance. Teacher of how to build, how to be the architect of your own life. Show you how to construct our dreams into a reality. Greatest success occurs with persistence. Examine your own industriousness. Are you disciplining yourself enough to accomplish the tasks at hand? Are you or those around you looking for the quick and easy way?  Are you neglecting important activities? Are you laying a good foundation? Are you adding new structures to your life with each passing year in some fashion - education, jobs, hobbies, etc? Are you being patient with your efforts? Are you being patient with yourself? With others? Are you making things greater and more difficult than they need to be? Are you missing the opportunity to initiate new creativity and endeavors? Can teach how to harness your own power to design and recreate your life. Can show you how best to work with others for the good of everyone. Regardless of circumstances, if the effort is true, the rewards will follow - in the most beneficial time and manner. The promise of success through effort.

Bee – Fertility and the Honey of Life

Symbols for accomplishing the impossible. Examine your own productivity. Are you doing all you can to make your life more fertile? Are you busy enough? Are you taking the time to savor the honey of your endeavors or are you being a workaholic? Are you attempting to do too much? Are you keeping your desires in check so they can be more productive? Are you taking time to enjoy the labors and activities you involve yourself in? No matter how great the dream there is promise of fulfillment if we pursue it.

Cardinal - Renewed Vitality through Recognizing Self-Importance

They remind us that, regardless of the time of day or year, we always have the opportunity to renew our own vitality and recognize our own life roles. Whistles are often reminders to listen closely - to pay attention to what is blowing on the winds. Reflects that we should be listening to the inner voice (the feminine) more closely for our own health and well-being. Almost always reflects a need to assert the feminine aspects of creativity and intuition more strongly. Can reflect a need to b more careful about your diet, that what you are eating may be injurious to yourself and affecting your overall vitality. Reflects the rhythm of 12 that is going to become more predominant within your own life. Reflects lessons associated with responsibility and the recognition of the task at hand. May reflect past-life connections with the church, or even a reviving of more traditional religious beliefs, regardless of denomination. Remind us to add color to our lives, and remember that everything is of importance. 

Eagle - Illumination of Spirit, Healing, and Creation. 

Balance of being of the Earth, but not in it. The soul, the spirit, and warmth of life. The resurrection. Punishment and reward. Greater sight and perception. Reflects an awakening ability or the need to learn to walk between worlds. Heroic nobility and divine spirit. The rediscovery of the inner child. Alchemy. Involvement with creativity. A willingness to experience extremes in a controlled condition. A willingness to use your passions to purify and to use your abilities, even if you get scorched a little in the process. The need to stay connected to and use things of the Earth. Important to know when to speak, how much, how strongly. New vision will open. The ability to hear - spiritually and physically - may also increase. Cooperative responsibility. A healing role. Opportunities (even those thought long lost) will arise - learn to see and snatch them up. A new sense of timing and movement will begin to develop Primal force inherent and easily awakened. Take on the responsibility and the power of becoming so much more than you now appear to be. Events will now fly faster, repercussions for everything you think, do and say (or fail to) - positive and negative - will be both stronger and quicker. A powerful new dimension to life and a heightened responsibility for your spiritual growth. Touch all of life with healing and become the mediator and the bearer of new creative forces within the world. 

Fly – [*from trustedpsychicmediums.com*]

 When the fly spirit animal makes its way into your life, this usually serves as a warning that there’s danger lurking somewhere.

It means to catch your attention when you are spending too much of your time with someone or on something that has a destructive influence.

The fly meaning brings to focus to anything that’s causing harm to your life, whether of your own choosing or not. An example of this is giving in to societal pressures and indifference.

Just like the cricket spirit animal, the meaning of the fly also speaks about hate, spite, malice, or blame. It buzzes to be heard and flies overhead annoyingly until you are forced to swat or kill it with anything you can get your hands on.

However, before you dismiss the fly as nothing but bad and undesirable, the fly symbolism also speaks about cures for sicknesses (just like the deer symbolism).

The meaning of the fly also serves as a reminder that you reap what you sow.

What you put out there to the world will come back to you a hundredfold, so make sure that your actions, thoughts, and words come from a place of love and goodness.

The fly spirit animal symbolizes abundance and prosperity during times of adversity.

It sends the message that by being persistent, consistent, and determined even in the face of tragedy will result to victory.

The fly signifies encouragement, because it does a very excellent job of goading you with its presence until you surrender to what it wants and let you be.

It will always fasten on you, arouse you, reproach you, or persuade you, and will not be satisfied until you get on your feet and achieve what you set out to achieve.

Goose - The Call of the Quest and Travels to Legendary Places

A totem reflecting a stimulation of the childhood thrill and belief in stories and legendary places. These stories either reflected an imprint for this life or they may have even imprinted you with certain seed ideas. Also be a totem to aid you in communication especially through the use of stories. Individuals wishing to write - be it stories or anything - can facilitate this process by working with the goose as a totem. It will stimulate the imagination and help move you through creative blocks. Also a symbol of fertility and marital fidelity. It may reflect a need for more vegetables in the diet, and maybe even becoming a vegetarian for a while. It reflects an ability to move forward or backward. It reflects movement, and a call to the spiritual quest. Stirs our imagination and makes us want to seek out new worlds and dimensions. Calling us to follow them on the great spiritual quest. It speaks of the fulfilled promises that great quests bring. Epitomizes the mystery of migration. Reminds us that as any one individual mass his or her quest, it becomes easier for others to do so as well. Reminding us that we should not undertake any quest in life without having a full view of what it entails. In this way the journey is facilitated for others. Reflects an opening to new possibilities. New directions and new possibilities. Reflects an openness to new ideas. Usually indicates we are about to affix ourselves to a new path. Reflects great fertility that should be acted upon if growth is desired. Greater vision, physical and spiritual, will occur. Can reflect that you are about to break free of old childhood restraints and begin to come into your own. You can expect to have the imagination stirred towards new travels to distant places - whether in the body or mind. 

Groundhog – Mystery of Death without Dying – Trance - Dreams

The ability to get deep within an area of interest. A time when a new area of study is going to open up.  Two years to come to full fruition. Important to give definite signals to the boundaries you wish to have respected in your life. Death without Dying. A time of initiation. A symbol of opening fully to the Dreamtime. Increasing ability to develop lucid dreaming. Clarity and power of altered states will be amplified. Dreams will become more significant. Opportunity to explore deeper states of consciousness. Lessons associated with death and dying. Revelations about its process. Knowledge of metabolic control.

Hawk - Visionary Power and Guardianship.

Messengers, protectors and visionaries. Visionary power and leading you to your life purpose. There is a message coming. What you eat, you become. Kundalini. Childhood visions are becoming empowered and fulfilled. The ability to soar and glide upon the currents. Great Heights while still keeping your feet on the ground. Attacks by people who won’t understand you - attack your ability to soar. Teaching of higher expression of psychosis and vision. Beauty and harmony in moderation.

Be observant. Life is sending signals. Careful in expression. Comments and actions will be strong and powerful with the ability to tear and/or kill. 

Rabbit - Fertility and New Life

Often seen as an animal that can lead one unknowingly into the Faerie realm. A symbol for sexuality and fertility. Usually, you will begin to see a cycle of 28 days beginning to manifest in your life. Those with rabbit totems will see movement occur in their life in varying degrees of hops and leaps. It won’t be steady step-by-step movement. The leaps and hops do not usually take more than the cycle of The Moon (28 days) to occur. Plan for possibilities. May indicate the need to do some more planning or review those you have already set in motion. You do not want to box yourself into a corner. Important not to foreshadow your moves. Learning to shift from freezing to great speeds will aid in your success and enables you to take advantage of opportunities that may present themselves for brief moments. May need to examine the kinds of food being consumed. For the greatest health and well-being, a vegetarian diet, even if only temporary, will strengthen and heal. How to recognize the tides of movement within your life. This in turn will enable you to become even more fertile in your life. 

Robin – Spread of New Growth

You can expect new growth to occur in a variety of areas of your life – not just one. Connected to the Kundalini. Reflects its activation in a manner that will stimulate new growth in all areas of your life. Fights over territory are usually in song. Physical confrontations are more symbolic without injury. Reflects a need to sing your own song forth if you wish new growth. Any confrontations or hindrances are more show than actual threats, so go forward. Powder-blue egg. A color that is often used to open the throat chakra in humans. Reflects the innate ability of those with this totem to assert the will force to create new growth in his/her life. Help you in this process. May reflect you have been doing so inappropriately or ineffectually. Robin will show you how to do it successfully. 

Spider – Creativity and the Weaving of Fate

Maya, the weaver of illusion. Grandmother, link to the past and the future. Mysticism of the geometric form of the figure 8. Symbol of infinity. The Wheel of Life. Teaches you to maintain a balance – between past and future, physical and spiritual, male and female. Everything that you do now is weaving what you will encounter in the future. Rhythms. Creative sensibilities. The past always subtly influences the present and future. Spiral shape, the traditional form of creativity and development. We are the center of our own world. “Know thyself and you shall know the Universe.” Keepers and writers of our own destiny, weaving by our thoughts, feelings, and actions. The magic and energy of creation. Assertiveness of that creative force. , keeping the feminine energies of creation alive and strong. Links with the past and future. Are you moving toward a central goal or are you scattered and going in multiple directions? Is everything staying focused? Are you becoming too involved and/or self-absorbed? Are you focusing on others’ accomplishments and not your own? Are you developing resentment because of it – towards yourself or them? The teacher of language and the magic of writing. Death and rebirth. A lunar symbol. Maintain balance and polarity in all aspects of life. Through polarity and balance creativity is stimulated. A combination of gentleness and strength. Walk the threads between life and death – waking and sleeping – between the physical and the spiritual. How to express the creative energies. Don’t be afraid to employ it in seemingly inaccessible corners. Weave your creative threads in the dark and then, when the sun hits them, they will glisten with intricate beauty. Are you not weaving your dreams and imaginings into reality? Are you not using your creative opportunities? Are you feeling closed in or stuck as if in a web? Do you need to pay attention to your balance and where you are walking in life? Are others out of balance around you? Do you need to write? Are you inspired to write or draw and not following through? Remember that Spider is the keeper of the primordial alphabet. Teach how to use the written language with power and creativity so that your words weave a web around those who would read them.

Squirrel – Activity and Preparedness

The gray squirrel is the most common and the most enthusiastic. If confronted the gray squirrel will usually run away and avoid any fight. Predominant predators are foxes and raptors such as hawk or owl. Two litters per year. On their own in 12 weeks. All squirrels can be quite sociable. Individuals with squirrel totem learn better by doing than studying. Squirrels are also quite communicative. Examine your own activity and preparedness. Are you too active? Not active enough? Are not planning at all for the future at all – distant or near? Are you becoming too erratic – running to and fro and not accomplishing anything? Do you need to learn how to save and ration on any level – money, time, energy, etc? Are you afraid you will never have enough? Are you too hung up on collecting and accumulating? Are you gathering and not giving? Squirrels can teach us the balance within the circle of gathering and giving out. Masters at preparing. Also reminders that in our quest for our goals, we should always make time to socialize and play.
