Merry Christ Mass, dear friends on Nostr 🌟πŸ₯°β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸ™πŸ’ Here's my latest sharing around these sacred days and long nights, on our sovereign homestead ⭐🌟⭐ "Then a moment shines brightly, like the crystal clear skies above us speckled with countless stars, as we nip outside after midnight for a pee. Every time I do this, the awe of being under this clear dark majesty calls me back to myself: my mystical Self. I am no longer the simpleton limping out of the back door in cumbersome slippers that are getting caked in mud and grass – suddenly I am reminded of who the Higher Self is, as the night sky seems to implode inside of me, instantaneous vibrational downloads coming in from all directions." https://ecency.com/hive-114308/@clareartista/the-only-way-is-up #naturallaw #slowliving #freedomisearnedbylivingit image
Super-challenge of the day on our #sovereignhomestead: covering the (most) leaking side of the roof, before the next rains - which are beginning imminently! #waterproof #temporarysolutions #rainfreehome image
"All in all, this β€˜house’ it is not particularly safe or secure. But it is ours. And this is the most important thing for us. Why? Because anything else is bound in others’ energies, contractions, vision – and the wider vision of the mainstream. Whereas being on our own land in our own building – no matter what – is a vastly easier and more energising space to be in. Though many of us have not noticed, mainstream humanity is on a very rapid downwards spiral: the quality of life, value of benefits and privileges, the very health of nations, the mental health especially, is all descending. It is more noticable every day, to folks like us - who avoid cities in general and groups of humans in particular – that β€˜conventional’ life is becoming more restrictive, toxic, and degraded/ degrading."

Loving being back on our wild mountainside homestead in Molise, Italy, where we've been forced to abandon the rental cottage that was supposed to keep us safe & warm until spring... Revelling in the glorious ancient woodlands, the funghi, and the clean air and waters...

Aaah; living fire changes *everything* and also this gives us a much better sense of being in control of our homestead πŸ™ Following our most challenging days yet, we managed to get this miniature (tent) stove installed!! Even having a warm spot to heat up tea is a joy: this morning we relished matΓ©, rose & nettle tea on our terazzo, greeting the morming sun. We are very blessed, and have a much clearer perspective now for what to work on next. ❀️‍πŸ”₯ #homesteading #slowliving #freedom #selfsufficiency image
We are back in our blessed wee shack, on our magical mountainside property in Molise, Italy.... It is not remotely winterproof, and so is somewhat bracing to the senses already! We hope to be able to make it work, somehow, between multiple duvets on the bed, a miniature stove, multifarious make-do-and-mends... and a great deal of prayer πŸ™πŸ’β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯ Blogs & podcasts are coming! #theartoflife #italy #homesteading #naturallaw #freedom image
Struggling this week, after a nasty health implosion; Vincent & I realising eventually that we're being poisoned by leaking woodstove and gas cooker 🀒😡 Major realigning to be done: the rental bothy is no longer a haven, and we're back on our beloved land, roughing it and healing with a homeopathic remedy πŸ™πŸ’β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸ₯³ Not exactly clear where we go from here, though! The 'un-house' is pretty basic, insufficient windows and door, and most certainly not wind- or water-tight! πŸ€”πŸ₯΄ Lots of fresh air though - and funghi! πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„ #naturallaw #health #carbonmonoxide #italy #homesteading image
Another beautiful-crazy day on our homestead - this time sweeping water off of a large plastic sheet, which *kind of* saved a few hundred litres from pouring through the terazzo and into the cellars! Phase one of salvaging the crazy building on our land is well underway. πŸ€—πŸ˜πŸ₯³ #homesteading #diy #homeimprovements #italy #livingthedream image
