I found out what happened with the college: they backed down, but the Ontario government just quietly passed a law requiring all colleges and universities in the province to make vaccines mandatory. The province isn't making it mandatory though: they are just telling the colleges and universities to do it.

Apparently they plan to do the same with hydro (electricity, not water) companies as well, since a number of them aren't willing to lose a sizable portion of their staff. It's increasingly looking like this will be a very tough winter for those of us who have the misfortune of living here...

Kitties?

That is a very pretty photo, and I would like to know how your kitties are, both inside and out, if you don't mind.

We have a little grey cat who has been around a week. It is almost as big as Tru, who is quite perturbed at an interloper on what she views as her territory! (Tru is not allowed out without a leash and a human, though rarely she escapes.) The grey won't let us anywhere near it, but will come and eat on the porch. Today it let me pet Tru who was sitting in the window inside about five feet away, as close as it has let any of us come, without running away. Turning the doorknob caused it to bolt: I was hoping that hearing Tru and I talking to each other might help calm it if I opened the inner door a crack. I hope we can catch it before something hungry does.

I'm stuck in Melbourne. I can't leave, not because of the tyranny, but because I have family responsibilities in this house. Of other adult family members, one is elderly and supportive of Dan and lockdowns and rules, which I find inexplicable. The other is not, but is too frightened to resist the capricious and arbitrary tyranny we face.

What am I supposed to make of this predicament? It's maddening. If it were just me, I would have headed for the hills a year ago.

Please do pray for me. I do perform a banishing ritual, the HLBRP, and have done so for more than a year, but I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes at my skill level. It definitely makes some difference.

I'm very much looking forward to your book, btw.

The "Just move!" argument is comical seeing as banning interstate travel for the unvaxxed has been proposed.

This is really good to hear. I'm excited for the update. :)

As soon as I get my mom to sign off on some paperwork I'll be a recognized American citizen; I'm not sure where I'll go yet, but I'm looking for jobs in some of the saner states. But the scary part is that even California's government is more sane than Ontario's right now....

These SOP landscapes sound fascinating. If you don't mind, I'd be very interested to learn about ways I could spice up the deity and elemental imagery of my SOP practice. Right now I just have a boring forest for Earth, a generic lakeside for Water, generic clouds and wind for Air, and a sun-baked open field for Fire.

In Canada right now there is effectively no method for the unvaccinated to travel between provinces aside from driving, and since some provinces won't let cars in without license plates registered for that province, we're fast moving that way...

If you've been doing the LBRP for over a year you might want to add the Middle Pillar.

I'm very sorry to hear about what you and your country are going through. And in light of what I just read about Australian mythology, I suspect you're in for a very rough future.

I've posted a comment to JMG's blog that's currently waiting for approval, but the summary is: I think Captain Cook has come for you, and the only way out could be unleashing the destructive side of the Rainbow Serpent, which may be necessary but won't be pretty.

Would you mind if I pray for you as well?

I made up an SOP with the landscapes specific to the Pacific Northwest; sorry it's too detailed a description, but I put a lot of thought into how to make it a) specific to the local biotic community b) compatible with local spirits and c) match my own intentions.

Hourly that would help with how to approach your locale.

I don't do the SOP anymore as I am doing the CGD work, but I kept the additional rotation of my intentions every day, and it seems to be fine.

IKR? I used to rue and lament the fact that Wisconsin is turning into a "red state". Now I'm starting to feel like that probably isn't so bad, after all. Besides, we're really more like a "magenta state": Purple with a distinct lean towards red.

I really think you might like Wisconsin. Just a thought. We've been losing a lot of population to Chicago, the Twin Cities, and the big cities of the coasts, but with the insanity that's raging right now, I wouldn't be surprised if some folks start trickling back here.

Wisconsin is on my list; but we'll see what happens.

Religious exemptions are quite limited here, and getting more and more restricted all the time. The other concern is that apparently I'd have to agree to take full responsibility if anyone I came in contact gets Covid, and I don't know what that will entail...

Australia mythology

@ slithythoves

What did you learn about Australian mythology and how does it relate to the current madness?

Did you see JMG agrees with you that the vaccine insanity seems to be caused by demonic activity?

To me, Captain Cook is a true hero, someone I would love to have a beer with and listen to his stories - and I don't have any connection to the ancestral gods of the Woiwurrung, nor do I think invoking them is a good idea. I have my own ancestral gods to worship.

And please do, the more the merrier.

Fellow Ontarian here: the form I was told I needed to sign to get an exemption at work included a provision that I was willing to agree to criminal responsibility for murder if anyone I came into contact died with (not of) Covid-19, regardless of whether it could be traced to me or not.
