Why refuse a title that comes with prominence & power in so many cultures?
Well, quite frankly, because it just doesn't even matter.
~ ⁘ ≼ I AM A STORM! ≽ ⁘ ~
A fierce force of nature!
Societal titles only slow me down & muck up my aura.
Titles... such as "shaman"... come with weight, responsibilities, and societal expectations to fit the part. This is nonsensical to a feral soul such as myself. A force of nature isn't meant to be defined, then confined to limiting boundaries or set courses! It's meant to come sweeping in, shake things up, then dissipate once the imbalance that created it has been rectified~ And that is precisely what I do.

This blog is now my defacto 'website'... Trying to regain access to my old one was a lost cause from the start. It's alright though~ That just means it was no longer necessary for my growth. Honestly, it was only stressing me out while holding me back and costing me money I didn't always have to spare. Now I am free to write and post as much as I choose without having to pay for a damn thing!
Quite fitting, actually~ The internet used to be completely free. No ads flashing around, driving ya nuts, nor any pay walls separating users from knowledge or entertainment.
Oh, how times have changed.
That said? Know that I will never allow ads to bog down my blog.
I am a survivalist~ A naturalist~ By absolutely no means am I a greedy capitalist. Fuck dat shit!
I may own capital... like land, a home, tools, and other means of production... but my wish isn't to "get rich"... My only wish is to serve. Serve my needs. Serve the needs of my family. Serve the needs of my local ecosystem. Serve the needs of Mother Earth. Serve the needs of my chosen community. That's it. That is why much of my work shall be through a nonprofit and volunteering. Only my writing and crafting shall be sold for profit in order to cover expenses, taxes, and reinvest into my nonprofit, a future trust fund, our homestead, my family, and our community.
Much work still lies ahead.

Having only recently survived severe sepsis... and near-death......
I'm still resting and working towards full recovery.
The past ~5.5 years in Japan have been the best and most productive five-plus years of my life! I finally fully understand my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. Being a highly sensitive soul, my body needs pure clean air, organic food, fresh spring water, and untainted energy.
Since this is impossible to find in most cities? I'm slowly working towards building a sanctuary of my own with my Kyodai, my sworn sibling~
We're looking at New Mexico at the moment, but that could change with time. We both need to visit the area and see how it feels, get to know the people, and listen to Spirit to see if it's meant for us.
As for our homestead plans? That's a bit more simple. We can plan out what to do, build, and grow even without knowing precisely where quite yet. Whatever we do, we plan to build something that is in balance with the local environment and ecosystem. I won't go into specifics until we've already accomplished our objectives... I've learned that doing so only attracts haters and naysayers who seek to tear your plans down.
I, for one, refuse to go through that again.
Hence why all commenting options have been removed.
However, if you wish to keep up with our adventures, please feel free to follow~
Readers may be one step behind our progress, but only by a small step.

No matter what you do in this life...
Live Your Dreams And Never Give Up!
I promise. You'll find in the end that it's all been worth it~
