Last Few Days of the Wood Snake 2025

Gateway2Manifesting Musings , , , ,

As those who follow me on Facebook, TikTok, and on my Substack blog know, Armstrong Steel Sued Me for defamation in what’s called a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP) lawsuit on June 2. The year before they sued me for breach of contract and forced me into arbitration.

Benebel Wen is, in my opinion, the most advanced occultist on the planet. Yes, there are gurus who I have not met, although I have met world-renowned ones, etc. There are psychics and mediums and great teachers. But, Benebel has a gift that almost none of the “greats” have and that is the ability to write about subjects that are impossible to digest. When she sent out an email saying she wasn’t going to offer her day planner for 2026, my heart sank. I bought the custom planner in 2023 and then life hit the fan, spun out of control, and I never got to immerse myself in it.

So, when she wrote that her followers all clamored for her and begged her to offer it, she did. I immediately took advantage of the offer. Then Armstrong Steel’s lawsuit started taking up every waking hour and waking me up in the middle of the night. James, Benebel’s husband, and a really great guy, sent me the planner and covers in an email in October and I didn’t see it. I wrote the other day, and today he resent everything plus a link to Drop Box.

At the same time, Joey Yap whose free course I took this summer, emailed a link to his video about the Fire Horse. I’m a Green Wood Horse. Joey started talking about the Baron.

“The Crusade helps with higher calling to lead not just for profit but for principle. Crusade transforms ambition into advocacy. When your leadership serves other people, the universe fights beside you”. I put in my court filings that I had invoked the Goddess Ma’at which I can only imagine flew past them just like her feather.

OMG that’s EXACTLY what Benebel Wen’s Spirit Keeper Tarot readings keep telling me when I do a reading for myself and I ask which “sentient being” wishes to tell me something and if possible tell me something to lessen my anxiety about being forced to represent myself “pro se” because I can’t afford an attorney – and please don’t comment about Legal Aid. I cover all that in my Substack blog.

What I have been fighting for is for ALL of the victims of Armstrong Steel to be heard in court and for them to get their deposits back and for Armstrong Steel to be investigated and prosecuted for consumer fraud. So that fits. What’s even “scarier” is that my DAY PILLAR is the Metal Rooster!

According to ziweibazifengshui “Officer Charm (官符)–Guan Fu star points to some legal complications. One needs to be extra sharp when signing documents and contracts to avoid being caught up in an in-escapable disadvantageous deal. The Barrier (的煞)–De Sha indicates that the subject faces court cases or lawsuits, being robbed (The $400 Paint Sprayer, my spare truck key fob, and my Jeep’s catalytic converters, plus tools – walked off) or plundered. It is also indicative of harming or countering relatives or suffering from muscle problems (I get leg cramps). The Flying Charm star (飞符) – Fei Fu connotes being restrained, restricted or held hostage by thugs or brigands (When the ancient Chinese wrote this, they didn’t have a word for corporate fraudsters). The individual would have problems with documentation (do you know how many law journal articles I’ve downloaded or how many mistakes I made uploading “motions” to the court) and personal effects or would be careless in handling them. He is also likely to face fines, penalties and forfeiture, taxes and duties. Also means

unexpected lawsuits, arguments and gossips.

Well, that pegs the Green Wood Snake alright!

What really sucks is I have a HUGE diverse occult library (not that it’s worth that much – no first editions or anything like that – books depreciate worse than cars), and I had to box it all up when I put the house on the market. That cut me off from a major resource. Benebel’s I Ching masterpiece is still in a box.

And I haven’t had the peace of mind to do the meditations, visualizations, or shamanic work I was doing before Armstrong Steel sued me! It was bad enough that Brian Thomas Mott who I am finally naming because he fled Elko, Nevada for Seattle, stole all my gold coins, my coin collection – Silver has soared recently, my gold jewelry and my late husband’s Tibetan kapala skull and his anatomical skulls he bought when he was doing his neurosurgery residency.

I was still trying to get my mind pieced together after it shattered when I unlocked the late Harry Leo Duran’s phone and discovered our entire life’s savings was gone, he owed over $150,000 in credit card debt, hadn’t paid the mortgages, our Verizon bill, nor the rent on his apartment! Plus, I found all the porn he stared in.

Wood feeds Fire. I have NO water element in my BaZi Chart. I’m a Gemini with a Gemini rising sign/ascendant and Mercury is in Gemini.

The judge gave Armstrong Steel’s attorney a chance to reply to my Motion for Reconsideration with a deadline of this coming Friday, January 2. When and IF he files, I have 7 days to respond.

I have already prepared a 10-page, Times Roman 12 font (court mandated font) double spaced legal brief assuming anything I am able to write without EVER stepping foot inside a law school or being on jury duty or sitting in a court room for a trial qualifies as such. (I did attend an arraignment for two friends in March and a sentencing hearing on July 16 which was a trip and a half. – I never expected to pick someone up from Jail once they got released!)

The part about gossip could fill more pages than most books. Those who heard the gossip (meaning they read it on Facebook or at the casinos, or on the “street” or read the twisted pathological lies spewed by Mott only need double check with those who were there. If you screwed someone over, don’t go blaming the victim.

I’ve had a bridle on, a bit in my mouth, and I’ve been kept in a corral for almost my whole life. In 2026, I plan on bucking off anyone or anything that tries to prevent me from jumping the fence and burning the truth out of everyone.

A horse’s electromagnetic field is FIVE times that of a human‘s. Mine can be sensed at a distance.

An article in the International Journal of Clinical and Health Psychology (Rothe, Vega, Torres, Soler, & Pazos, 2005) offers some clues. Horses have been used in Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) since the early 1970s. In equine-facilitated psychotherapy, interacting with horses helps clients explore their feelings. Keenly aware of emotional energies, horses sense what we’re feeling, sometimes better than we do. With a few well-chosen words and a forced smile, we may be able to hide our real feelings from another person. We may even hide our own deeper feelings from ourselves. But we cannot fool a horse. Horses can sense emotions that lurk beneath the surface of our awareness and mirror them back to us, showing us what we have been avoiding. And like Rogerian therapists, horses are honest and present, responding openly without pretense. You know where you stand with a horse.

If I can find it again, I watched a video this past week that said that recently, people are suddenly “finding” horses and taking up riding, I’ll update this post. I thought it was on YouTube, I’ve searched Facebook reels, and TikTok, and I’m not finding it. I thought I shared it. Not finding it. Until I do, watch these:

Benebel Wen’s Spirit Keeper Deck Reading for September 1, 2025

Gateway2Manifesting Musings , , , , , , , , ,

If you can manage to save up the money and purchase Benebel Wen’s Spirit Keeper Deck do so. When I still thought I had money to spend on non-essentials, I got on a waiting list and bought it. The deck scares the crap out of me.

Today is the beginning yet again of some really wild astrological alignments leading up to a lunar eclipse on September 7. People are reporting that things feel ODD – the spirit world is unusually quiet or that the night sky is unusually dark despite the fact it’s not the new moon.

So I got the deck out and did a reading. The first thing Benebel suggests is shuffling the deck and asking who is “there” to assist with the reading. Buy her books. She explains all that.

So I did. And sure enough I got one of the cards that shows up OFTEN. OFTEN! VERY OFTEN

I got sued by Armstrong Steel in Colorado and you can read all about that nightmare on my Substack site. https://armstrongsteelsuedme.substack.com/. Seeing Baphomet, I felt that awful realization that this deck has an uncanny ability to be spot on almost all the time.

“represented by the serpent with the head of an ox, goat or dog, in ancient theogonies. It is the dual serpent of the caduceus . . . the Goat of the Sabbath and the Baphomet of the Templars . . . the Typhon of the Egyptians; it is the Hyle of the Gnostics.” is not for someone with week knees.

The Demon is “that blind force which souls must overcome if they would be freed from the chains of earth; for, unless their will can detach from this fatal attraction, they will be absorbed in the current by the force which produced them [i.e., what Eliphas Levi calls the Great Magical Agent]. 

Benebel writes “
You know you are advanced in your progress when you encounter adversarial forces and antagonism. When The Demon comes, it’s time to dig in your heels, harden that resolve, and fight your way through. You must confront the Demon and not hide from it. If you try to run away, the direction you’ll be running is backward. What you really want is on the other side of this Demon. 

To fully possess your rightful power, you must first know how it feels to be disempowered. You know you’ve begun the final prong of your spiritual journey when you’re thrust into a battle with the Typhon (son of Gaia and Tartarus), the serpent who challenged Zeus. 

The Demon can also be appearing to warn you that someone is lying to you or concealing important information from you. You don’t have all the facts, so proceed with caution. 

GGGREAT. So I need to be beat down untilI can rise up and defeat Armstrong Steel! No wonder no one else wanted to take on this mission.

The next card – what is going to happen was

I have lost count how many times this card has shown up in the past two years! The very fact that Hypatia was one of my heroes since junior high and I have been obsessed with the Library of Alexandria and the Muses just bites when this card appears over and over.

The Captor. Eight of Swords: You are feeling bound by the Threads of Fate. You’re being pulled in so many oppositional directions that now you cannot move in any direction at all. The themes here are having to

confront the evils of oppression,

aggressions of those in a superior position to hurt those who are helpless and ,
feelings of isolation,

but also, having to learn how to overcome one’s own victim mentality.

You see yourself as the captive, but that you are not; you, my dear, are the captor. This is a first-person view of the situation. What have we been doing to falsely imprison logic, reason, free speech, higher ideals, morality, ethics, and the flourishing of the humanities? The setting is Hellenized Alexandria. You are seeing the Great Library of Alexandria; adjacent to it, the Musaeum, or research institution dedicated to the Muses. 

The woman pictured here is Hypatia of Alexandria, a Neoplatonic philosopher, teacher, inventor, political advisor, and mathematician. The mob persecutes her because she reminds them of the Light, of the Reason and Truth that they are not yet capable of. When the Eight of Swords comes up, take heart knowing this will be the final outcome: degeneres animos timor arguit—fear betrays ignoble souls. 

The next was the Hallowed Flame

Hallowed Flame. Ace of Scepters: A switch inside you has turned on your creativity, productivity, and ingenuity. Fire is alchemizing in your world, materializing as a creative project, an innovative new venture, a birth, entrepreneurship, or the spark of inspiration for a passion project. This is also a new direction in career development. This is the Awakening stage of your Path. New knowledge is attained. Divine Reason is the light in your eyes. Take the necessary beginning steps to transform a dream into your reality. Start a new journey and a new chapter of opportunities will unfold. 

And the final piece of advice was the Outlaw


Key 12: The Outlaw. Examine your situation from a different perspective. Be the outlier. This is the spirit designating how we break from establishment to serve a higher purpose. This is the heretical, the eccentric, the dissident. This is the rejection of authority and rebellion against establishment. The Outlaw appears to you when the answer is to operate outside of orthodoxy and institutions. Do ut des: I give that you may give. This is also an omen of self-sacrifice. Here we see a human incarnation of Heru (Horus), whose right eye is the sun and left eye the moon. Coram Deo: you are in the presence of God. Across the skies is Psalm 102 (KJV 103) from the Latin Vulgate. The butterfly has just emerged from its chrysalis, resting its wings before it takes flight—an omen revealing the influence of Psyche, goddess of the soul, yearning, and personifying the breath of life. When The Outlaw appears, it prophesies that the challenger will beat the incumbent.

Well, my favorite characters at the moment are Wednesday Addams and Lidia Poët. And Horus hangs on my wall. Bought a papyrus back in the 70s and he’s been with me ever since.

Pray for me I’m fighting Armstrong Steel and trying to appeal the court which confirmed the award of arbitration without looking at all the fraud. The Anti-SLAPP as far as I know at this moment in time is still under consideration in 2025CV31315.

I am representing myself because I cannot afford an attorney and no Legal Aid can’t help at all.

And my Go Fund Me page hasn’t gotten any donations so I’m on my own.

In this history of court filings, I cannot find any cases similar to mine at all. OUTLIER – Oh that describes me alright!
