What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been -- Part Two

  by Cathryn Platine 

For the past couple of years both the Maetreum and myself have been under an almost never ending assault. That is why I am writing about our dirty laundry at this point because we now need to rebuild from almost scratch yet again and one can only be bullied just so much without having to strike back.

Over the years most of the people we have had major problems with have not been those who came to us for religious reasons. Chelsea Goodwin was the primary exception to that and more on her later. Jay Stewart’s connection was sleeping with Viktoria. Now both of them are married to other folks but I guess I am old fashion about that sort of thing. What I did not know about Jay at the time was his long long history of anti-social behaviour bordering on sociopathy. Recently I posted on Facebook about the social differences between those, seeing the pizza is limited, take one piece and those who take three for the same reason. Jay would take the entire pizza. I learned he had been known by others for phone harassment of others for years on end. Not having any legitimate connection to me or the Maetreum, he apparently has set his new life goal at the total destruction of my reputation and the Maetreum itself all on behalf and the urging on by Viktoria Whittaker.

The spring of 2020 was the year of covid. Leslie moved out of the Maetreum due mostly to the unending harassment by Viktoria and others. I did NOT ask her to leave. Shortly afterwards Frodo and I were awakened after dark by the sound of several explosions. They were the tires on my car exploding after it was firebombed in the driveway. My car had not been even driven for several months at that point, probably had a dead battery and the point of origin of the fire was easily seen as the interior directly over the gas tank. The fire chief declared it an electrical fire which would have made it the very first Honda CRV to catch fire for any thing except the window switch in history. He flat out refused to do an investigation. So did the State Police. The very first comment on Facebook came from Debby Graney aka Rennie Yenarg who then posted elsewhere of her fear of being connected with the fire. I am almost certain she was involved in the firebombing from comments she made. My mother died two weeks later.

Rennie (Debbie) and her husband Bruce got involved with the Maetreum solely on the basis of her being a Facebook witch. She never once attended any religious service or even went down to our Temple. She, instead “held court” on our front porch and arranged events for herself we were expected to pay for. Both Rennie and Bruce turned out to be convicted felons. Ironically, although neither Rennie nor Bruce ever attended any of our rituals, their dog did several times. Rennie is notorious on Facebook as a spammer, stalker, and hacker of accounts. I had asked her to leave one night after she had been asked not to come over when Mandie, a young woman we had taken in with her two kids, had a miscarriage scare and asked me to tell her not to come over. Apparently that was all that was needed to make me enemy number one in her book. By the way, the dog, who Bruce had crippled as a pup with a lawn mower, got revenge on both of them. He dragged Bruce over a ledge and Bruce broke his leg in three places and a few weeks later tripped Rennie in the middle of the night and she broke her collar bone. After being asked to stay away from the Maetreum Rennie started a “secret” Facebook group trashing the Maetreum where she sought out several individuals we had to ask to leave for violating the rules of the house and in one case, actually posing a real and present danger to Mandie’s kids.

For the record, Rennie and Bruce were two of the 18 + people Viktoria had magically “bound” using my mirror spell which I discovered after cleaning out the freezer and finding the spells. Apparently Viktoria overused this spell quite a bit! Rather than leave peacefully, when Viktoria was finally removed from the Maetreum she immediately, as within hours, launched attacks on myself and the Maetreum. She shared literally every intimate detail of my life she had learned over the course of 14 or so years and shared it all on Rennie’s “I hate the Maetreum” private email group and directly with Jay. She actively sought out everyone who had been asked to leave the Maetreum in the past 14 years, most of whom she herself actually wanted removed! At her direction, Jay started a campaign of accusing me of stealing funds from everyone, Jay phoned in a threat to destroy the Maetreum and the radio station from a Stewart’s sandwich shop and left it as a message which I still have. We called the shop and verified they had a security camera that filmed him in the act and Jeremiah called it in to the FBI. The accusation of misuse of funds is particularly phony given that the Maetreum has a policy of no one being paid or compensated under any conditions and all cash being deposited in the bank account. Viktoria was the treasurer for almost a decade and, as a result, every single penny went through her hands including all the petty cash! She and Jay also claimed I “stole” all the money over the course of sixteen years she contributed as part of her shared expenses for running the Maetreum. That is like saying a landlord stole all your rent money you paid while living in their apartment.

Viktoria and Rennie and Jay started a campaign of terror against me personally threatening to “out” every supposed secret I had, vicious emails, deadnameing me (using my birth name), threatening and harassing messages on Facebook, comments on almost every public posting I made, false reviews of my book, additional phone calls. All this continues to this day. But the cream of this crop was Viktoria sought out Chelsea Goodwin to be an ally. They even collectively picketed the Maetreum when we were trying to organize a post covid Season of the Tree celebration a year ago. We had to cancel that at the last minute due to the pandemic not being over but they did not know that.

Which brings us to Chelsea Goodwin.
