I'll have you know, some of my best friends are b*tches! Seriously though, should THAT (as a perfectly good word for a female dog) really be a swear word? We need a doggy feminist movment...

Female Dogs

[(Anonymous)]

The behavior of female dogs is why that word was latter applied to human females with similar personality traits. What is surprising is that their isn't a swear word derived from cats.

Cats are too dignified for such a thing. ;)

Catty?

I've really never understood the link between unpleasant women and female dogs. Most female dogs I've known have been lovely.

By contrast, the related slur for gay men (starting with f) was explained to me by a Christian friend as "fuel for the fire of God's wrath", which is quite a graphic metaphor.

Bedside geometrics

[(Anonymous)]

I've been thinking about broader applications of the bedside geometrics. I have a curtain in my room that utilizes the flower of life and it seems to be quite effective.

I'm wondering if the same benefit could be had from images that were partly obscured like a quilt that gets rumpled while sleeping or a rug that is mostly under the bed or even from 3 dimensional objects?

Do you have experience with these other modalities?

Re: Bedside geometrics

[kimberlysteele]

There's a venerable tradition of wedding quilts that backs up the idea that geometrics in the sleeping area, rumpled or not, are effective for trapping demons and malefic energy. Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch people do a couple of things that seem tailor made for the purpose: hex signs and quilts. Hex signs are a very open way repelling the demonic and malefic -- painting it at the top of a barn is fairly obvious! The quilt repels bad energy in much the same way, I think. I believe a three dimensional sculpture could do the job as well, as long as it is symmetrical. In the Exorcist's Handbook, Josephine McCarthy mentions that demons are attracted to shiny and symmetrical patterns and become trapped and/or confused by them. If I could, I would wallpaper my bedroom in a metallic gold repeating pattern such as this one: https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Advantage-Augustin-Rose-Gold-Geometric-Vinyl-Peelable-Roll-Covers-56-4-sq-ft-2834-42346/309424915

Ooh, that's a cool one. But as a pattern-finding-machine sort of person, I can't put anything like that in my living space (not visibly anyway) because *I* get stuck in it! I've been contemplating how I could include more such things... just out of my own line of sight. Under the bed, top of the dresser, back of the closet, those sorts of places. I wonder if they're less effective there.

Hi Kimberley, hope you're well!

First of all, thanks for asking your Ogham about my subtle bodies. I've been meditating on this subject since then, and I'm fairly sure your Ogham have miscalculated at least some of them, but it would be good to get your (and others) thoughts on this.

On the mental plane, I'm almost certain that I'm female, as I tend to get a burst of creativity when I'm infatuated with someone. The most popular song I have written to date was written in that context, for example. On the flipside, my most significant relationship didn't seem to inspire as much creativity in me (I managed one song, although it never felt quite finished), so I'm wondering if the creative burst is particularly acute when the feelings aren't sufficiently reciprocated - or perhaps my ex's mental sheath was also female...?

On the astral, I'm pretty sure I'm male, as I tend to be pretty typically male in terms of leaning towards "desiring" rather than "being desired". Here is where my musical creativity differs from my writing, however; music tends to come more from 'within', whereas my writing is often stimulated by others, hence why I was so good at English Literature when I was studying. As a fellow musician and writer, I'd be fascinated to hear your experiences of your own 'astrality'.

On the etheric, this is where it gets the most fuzzy - JMG's descriptions of a female etheric body seem to be more relevant to me, but I have been told I have a 'healing presence' by a couple of people. I'm not sure if this is a sign of having a male etheric body, or if I'm just fortunate enough to store up a bit more of an etheric surplus than others. Again, I'd be interested to hear your own experiences, and how you came to realise you have a male etheric body.

Full disclosure: I am very biased, as I really, really don't like the idea of having the arrangement suggested by your Ogham! So there might be some selective reading in my interpretation.

[kimberlysteele]

Interesting! They've been spectacularly wrong before, so I wouldn't take what they've said all that seriously. Maybe I can do another reading that does not ask for specific genders, but asks for characteristics of your subtle bodies. Sometimes binary questions such as YES/NO or in this case MALE/FEMALE make them a bit pissy.

For me, it's fairly certain I am an etheric male. That's where the big, leonine hair comes from and the urge to constantly create. Astrally, I am feminine, and I become very grumpy if I am expected to sell my ideas to someone. If they cannot be bothered to come to me, it's their loss. Mentally, I have no idea. I presume I'm male as the usual pattern would indicate, but the real question is what is the gender of my spirit? I have been male more times than I have been female from what I understand of my past lives. Since the spirit or soul is unchanging, the real question lies there. And of course that is where a lot of people will get butthurt because they'll scream about gender being a construct.

What do you know about your past lives?

[kimberlysteele]

I also tend to write songs if I am infatuated with someone, for what it is worth.

[kimberlysteele]

Hmm, if you have a healing presence, that could go either way. I tend to be a healer, though I have not put a great deal of time or effort into it. I did manage to heal my cats of their various problems for now. I wouldn't say that's purely etheric though: most of their healing was done on the astral and mental planes, because that's where I grasped the concepts and strategies. For instance, my little girl cat, Bee, was throwing up and had skin and urinary issues, and the main strategy I have taken with her involves daily doses of a blood-sugar lowering herb called Devil's Claw, maca powder (good for the adrenals), and omega 3 fatty acids in the form of an algae supplement. In my cat Ash's case, he's a very emotional boy, and along with good food, he just needs a great deal of encouragement. For him, his physical health is quite dependent on the quality of attention he gets.

[mr_nobody1967]

Ash is a cat who was a dog in his previous incarnation, I'm tempted to think.

[lukedodson]

Interesting! Thanks for your thoughts.

I have no clear memories of previous incarnations as yet, although I suspect I was probably male and European a number of times prior to this. I have certainly always felt like I belonged more to the Middle Ages than the present in many respects, although I don't think I'd appreciate the religious intolerance of that era.

I'm not totally sure what people are actually referring to when they say I have a 'healing presence', but I gather they perceive a certain calm, compassionate quality, which means I'm often called upon as a listener or adviser by my friends. But yeah, I don't know whether that reflects any specifically gendered quality of my etheric body.

Perhaps, as one Ecosophian commenter suggested,the *gender* of these bodies is one thing, but the individual qualities can vary quite considerably, just as some female physical bodies are strong, bulky, and built for combat, a la Brienne of Tarth from GoT.

That's interesting that you also write songs during infatuation. I suppose, regardless of whether one is male or female at whatever level of reality, a creative person will be inspired naturally by intense emotions - there are no shortage of famous female singers (presumably with the usual arrangement of bodies) who have written songs about their beloved, after all.

[kimberlysteele]

True enough!

I'm noticing more and more the casualties from the decline of the American Empire/civilization collapse/pandemic/all the stuff.

Lots and lots of cancer diagnoses. Including the girlfriend of a high school classmate who, while being treated for breast cancer, discovered she now has stage 4 brain cancer.

Took my daughter for her sports physical yesterday. The forms are now asking for covid vaccine status (they didn't last year) with TEN follow-up questions related to heart health, including this brand-new question "Has any family member or relative died of heart problems or had an unexpected or unexplained sudden death before age 35 years (including drowning or unexplained car crash)?."

Quite a bit of weight gain and depression. My husband (the extroverted one in our relationship) is getting so overwhelmed when he tries to meet up with friends. At least half the time, it turns out the friend has gained significant weight, is now depressed or seems depressed, has health problems, seems borderline alcoholic, their kids are on medication or have a new diagnosis (physical or mental), etc, etc. He comes home totally worn out as yet another friendships seems more like a therapy session (with him as therapist) than an enjoyable evening.

Luckily, as an INFJ, I'm totally cool with lots and lots of alone time as my friend group continues to get smaller.

Sorry for the venting! I'm in a big city in a blue state (though with family ties to working class, red state people and I see much the same there), so I wonder if others are seeing similar patterns.

[kimberlysteele]

My aunt died of a VERY fast moving cancer in 2022. She had been in remission and was managing fine, then she quaxxed and within months, she was gone. Two people who live on my street died right after a booster. One got a debilitating stroke in her 30s and had to re-learn to speak. On my parents block, one died after being intubated for "covid" and one died after having a suspicious vaccident. Not sure how many are sick. For now, the ones who did not die seem OK and I sincerely hope they stay that way. Most of the people who got the quaxx among my family and friends have gained weight and battle ever more severe health issues. That said, the ones I worry for the most are the kids. Almost every parent in my local area of Chicagoland got their kids quaxxed, usually multiple times.

Funny how I'll never see sociability as desirable again after seeing what mass formation psychosis does to people. That episode took away any desire I ever had to impress others for good.

Those 10 follow-up questions sound extremely suspicious.

[methylethyl]

The questionnaire! That seems like an outright admission... or possibly whoever wrote the form is actively seeking independent data. In your position, I'd be trying to figure out *where that form came from* and where the info is being reported back to!

A re-post of something I put on JMG's Covid thread

[mr_nobody1967]

This forum has been around for two years, and in all this time, somebody has probably already brought up what I'm about to discuss, but I still think this is something that bears occasional repeating. Anyone who was alive back during the seventies, even if you were just a little kid back then as I was, will recall the Swine Flu vaccine. It was pulled after it killed only about three dozen people, and there was a significant amount of discussion in the media of this calamity.

Fast forward to the two-thousand-twenties, and we have a largely superfluous and ineffective vaccine that is killing and maiming thousands of people, but a conspiracy of silence about it is being maintained by countless individuals and institutions. You really have to wonder what changed between then and now, and you really have to recognize whatever it is that changed as being unquestionably and intentionally malign in nature.

And what is really weird at this point is the way that knowledge of the harm done by mRNA Covid vaccines is right on the threshold of what Chris Martenson calls "common knowledge" ("everybody knows that everybody knows"), yet the corporate media stranglehold over the national discourse keeps it apparently forever stuck on that very threshold. If the third anniversary of these posts arrives next year and that particular song remains the same, I'm going to be convinced that we are just way too far gone as a society and are due for a reckoning with karma that will probably involve universal destruction of society's institutions.

I made a meme that where the Covid quaxxes say to Thalidomide, "Hold my beer".

I think the factor that changed was as of 2020, the entire economy (including 99 percent of the media) revolved around the medical-pharmaceutical industry. This was not the case in the 1970s, when it was still possible to be an honest doctor or nurse.

Steve Kirsch is a brave man -- he is coming out and flat out showing the studies of childhood vaccines causing autism. We have not been "allowed" to say vaccines cause autism. For him to do this and not be Arkancided is something new in the world. On my TikTok, I challenged the notion of trusting your doctor. https://www.tiktok.com/@whitewitchoftheprairie/video/7256287453818916138 Why would I trust a doctor? I have yet to meet one who is as healthy as I am, mentally or physically. So they had to train how to identify musculature and organs... big deal. Other than a fixing a broken bone or sprained ankle, they don't know a damn thing about the care and maintenance of a human body AND IT SHOWS.

Re: A re-post of something I put on JMG's Covid thread

In the US and Canada now there are a lot of descion tree diagrams for diagnosis and treatment. There are also set "standards of care" for most ailments. This means that medical care is "one size fits all". Doctors who are 50 or so would have been trained on a model of crical thinking and prioritized the relationship between the doctor and the patient. Your doctor was expected to know you and the available treatments and tailor care accordingly.

I don't think it's a coincidence that most of the doctors who looked for treatment before the shots were available are 50+.

"Apparently"

Despite appearances, I think MSM is losing its grip. The blockade seems impenetrable, but... maybe that's an illusion.

Gardening and Grazon

[methylethyl]

Since it's an open post, here's a PSA for everybody who gardens, or grows anything in their yard:

https://www.thesurvivalgardener.com/compost-wrecked-garden

Aminopyralids are a huge problem, they're what "TruGreen" sprays on lawns to kill dandelions, they're what commercial hay operations use to keep bindweed out of their hayfields, and they're extensively used on horse pastures. The stuff does not break down in the digestive tracts of grazing animals, and it is not known how long it takes to break down in the soil, if it ever does. What this means is that no hay, compost, manure, or mushroom compost (made from cow manure typically), including the bagged commercial kind, is safe to use on your garden anymore, unless you can trace the supply chain all the way back to the beginning and be absolutely certain that no grazon contamination happened at any point in the process. Like even if you know the guy raising the cows whose manure you'd like to use... if he fed them ONE bale of contaminated hay that he bought from someone else, your garden is toast.

This happened to my mom a few years back-- a truckload of contaminated mushroom compost and she hasn't been able to grow anything in her garden since. Don't be my mom!

Re: Gardening and Grazon

[methylethyl]

**Note: even bunny poo is not safe! Domestic rabbits are fed dry hay supplements, and unless you know where 100% of that hay came from... nope.

Re: Gardening and Grazon

[kimberlysteele]

Fascinating! From the health of the bindweed in my garden, I'm going to presume I don't have aminopyralids going on in there...
