A "what would you do?" story for you... warning: weirdness ahead...

I will try to keep this short and sweet, but if there's anything specific you would like to ask, feel free to, and I'll try to respond as best as I can.

I just feel like sharing my weird ass predicament with you all... So here goes:

(BTW, this IS, relatively, a true story...)

In the Spring of 2012 I met this woman, an architect, who seems to be as interested in farming/organics/permaculture as I am. She just happens to be in the process of buying a piece of land ten minutes from my house, and says she's going to build a sustainable farm there. So I'm like, SWEET, because that's one of my dreams is to learn how to sustainable farm, learn permaculture, and to homestead... and what better way to learn than in person, right?

So after the land was bought and the "manager" moved into the house (because she lives elsewhere) my primary function at that point was to chauffeur this man around because he doesn't drive. Now talking about this 50 year old man could take up an entire library of space so I'm going to simplify his description for you: EPIC. Let me elaborate: This bean pole of a man is a farmer, homesteader, he's traveled the country on foot, helped people around the country set up their own homesteads, and he's a downright asshole... but in a good way. He's just an awesome dude full of stories, passion for what he does, and common sense.

As far as the lady-land-owner goes, all I knew about her at this point was that she is in her late 40's possibly early 50's, and that's she seemed nice. Almost too nice, but I was clueless at this point.

Nothing much really changes until late summer and fall, when things start to get weird. I've skipped an entire episode of this story about another, younger man involved (let's call him Dave). This story would merit an entire post unto itself.

It became apparent to me that the Lady was refusing to listen to the Epic Man that she brought in to help her set up this farm. For one example, he always free ranged or had runs for his chickens. She insisted on chicken tractors. (She only has 3 chickens left now out of 8 or 9... I forget. Foxes broke into the stupid contraptions.)

Remember, she's an architect, not a farmer, and has never farmed in her entire life. She brings in an Epic Farmer, and refuses to listen to his advice and always does the opposite.

Remember again, I was brought into this mix with the hopes that I could be a part of something fantastic and beautiful. I had hoped that I could learn awesome things from this place.

And then THIS.

Biodynamics.

Now, before you go hating. I know a few things about biodynamics and what they do. I know about all nine of Steiner's preparations. I know about how they stuff organs of animals and skulls and spray silica and horn manure and all of that. I also know about the "ashing" of insects and mice, that involved cooking bugs or rodents down to ashes and stirring the remains into water and spraying it over a field. I know what Steiner preached. Biodynamics is a religious cult.

And not only that... but I know some things about the occult too. These practices, these preparations, are essentially magick rituals that use animal body parts to "harness etheric and astral forces". In "good" or "white" magick, the only time you ever spill blood is that of your own, and VERY rarely. This biodynamics stuff is more like "black" magick, and even worse! This stuff is damn near SATANIC!

And this woman claims to be Christian.

She's just recently brought this up (again, because it was brought up once in the spring, quickly shot down by everyone involved, and never brought up again until now). She seems to be insistent in bringing this evil crap to where I live!

Now, knowing what you know...

What the hell would YOU do!?!? Knowing this woman has crashed your hopes and dreams to learn the sustainable farming you have such a passion for? Knowing she promised great things, and wants to be involved with this religious evil cult?
