Wild Woman Gnostic

I know in a recent post (since deleted) I said mainstream college wasn’t for me. But after wrestling with some hard truths about myself, i decided that my goal was teo-fold: find part-time work where my talents and gifts could be fully realized, and return to college, albeit part-time, as long as I was in school.

There is also the matter of my elderly father, my cats, and a house already paid for. There are monthly and yearly bills to take care of and one full-time job should be enough to pay for all that…but it isnt.

In recent years, I’ve had this deep desire to move, whether to Salem, OR; or Columbus, OH – I even considered moving to New Zealand. But all this stemmed from what I can only describe as systematic, long-term spiritual attacks from some unknown source.

Nightmares, apparitions appearing outside my house, several of my cats dying in my yard, or in the street, either through poison or being run over. It felt like someone was trying to drive me away. I even had a spirit with malicious intent stalking me in my own bedroom. And I was just so fucking exhausted.

But then, I got some advice from different quarters, all of it the same. Stay close to home. Save your money. Now, the spirit in my bedroom is gone, driven out by a very protective one. The apparitions outside my house come no further than the end of my driveway.

I’ve been casting my net into different professional arenas and approaching my education from a different angle. After wrestling with two B.A. degrees of interest (English – Creative Writing/Art History), I finally decided on art history. Less pre-requisite courses, which means it can be completed more quickly.

The summer months can be my creative time. The story of Veronica is a fascinating one, and I am finding so much inspiration there. I am also researching self-publishing platforms and have decided to publish only e-books for the time being.  I am hoping that one of these platforms will start making me money soon. It will help in paying for school.
