What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been --Part Three, the Insurrection

I have been writing this series of blog posts so as to leave behind the facts behind the deranged attacks being leveled against the Maetreum and myself all over the internet by Viktoria Whittaker and her psychopath lover, Jay Steward.

Viktoria’s assault on both the Maetreum and myself continues. She somehow didn’t get her certificate for becoming a third degree Corellian. She somehow was overlooked getting her Reiki master certificate and now, despite having been excommunicated from the only Cybeline Revival for openly breaking all three aspects of her oaths is somehow an “independent Cybeline Priestess. In fourteen years she did not contribute a single aspect of ritual, contribute any historical research and she uses the drumming pattern recovered by Dr. McMahon, Cybeline chakras I developed and the body of ritual I originated. Her basic dishonesty is staggering. A normal person forced out of a Pagan group for breaking their oaths and other crimes, would knock the dust off their feet and go on their ways especially knowing that my personal rules of engagement are not to pursue if the matter is dropped. An egomaniacal sociopath, on the other hand, would do what Viktoria has done. She mostly uses Jay Stewart as her proxy but make no mistake, all the things he says come straight from her. I cannot believe I was so clueless as to not see Viktoria for who she actually is and it has shaken my own faith in my ability to see people as they are to the core. It was not until the abuse started and she admitted she was a liar that I saw her as she is. I had told her for years one of the few things I could not stand was a liar because they left you nothing to work with.

Viktoria has sought out any and all people I may have had a conflict with for my entire life. If she hadn’t recently died, I’m fairly certain she would have sought out my ex spouse as well looking for anything that could be spun against me. The people she has allied with are often felons, mentally unstable people who have been in and out of mental institutions that we tried to help, drug addicts and the worst case, Chelsea Goodwin, a pimp of trans crack whores who with her partner, ran Transy House which was a trans themed crack whore house in Brooklyn. Many of the street girls from Transy House told me of how Chelsea would push them out to whore to raise money for her. I visited Transy House several times after I moved to New York and it looked exactly like what it was as anyone who ever visited the place can attest. Out of a misguided desire not to cast a negative image on that period of trans activism I have not said anything about any of this for decades now but as part of her alliance with Viktoria, Goodwin is once again targeting me using her radio show and passing on out and out lies about what we called “the insurrection”.

Pauline Park, founder of the New York trans activist group, NYAGRA , has written about how Chelsea almost destroyed that group  and I can attest she used exactly that same game plan on NTAC, the first grassroot national trans rights organization of which I was one of the founders. She has been notorious in NYC as someone who disrupts for the sake of disruption and managed to avoid ever having a psych professional evaluate her despite having “transitioned” and getting surgery she later expressed regret about in Europe. Psychopaths often have a common trait of gender fluidness and in the case of Chelsea this led to a de-transition to “Chet” for the sole purpose of pursuing a heterosexual woman as a lover outside her relationship with Rusty Moore. Chelsea is a self proclaimed vampire. Not the psychic type but an actual blood sucker. She has left in her wake a series of organizations she destroyed or attempted to destroy and mentally abused victims that passed through her hands. She has conned the greater LGBTQ communities of NYC that Transy House was a housing collective instead of the crack whore house it actually was.

Which brings us to Chelsea’s attempt to destroy the Maetreum of Cybele. Chelsea and Rusty sent many of their mentally ill people up to the Maetreum for rest for several years while both of them visited on a regular basis and participated in our rituals and even the Mysteries of the Season of the Tree. Many of these visitors visibly improved while here but in all cases, shortly after returning to Transy House were institutionalized for a period of time. I made the mistake of elevating her with several others after what would prove to be our most successful Season of the Tree in terms of participants including one who came all the way from Australia. Chelsea immediately started to try to totally disrupt our organization, not an easy feat given we are consensus based. Transy House was about to be condemned and Rusty sold it to her son for rehabilitation which meant Chelsea and Rusty needed a new base of operation. First they tried to remove the oldest priestesses in Conclave by adding a clause about not active participation. Then they worked on the lawyer who joined the same time Chelsea did. We were applying for our 501c3 status at this time and I had to stop the attorney from screwing the pooch just as she had done on my own Social Security disability case which cost me 15000 in lost benefits. Rusty never did join officially. The final step was to move into the Maetreum a totally insane trans person named Katrina who immediately started a campaign of abuse against me so bad I was even afraid to venture out to the bathroom. In the classic abuser pattern, Katrina disconnected my phone, came into my office room while I was sleeping and completely took my computer apart so I would be cut off from the outside world. Whenever I did leave my room she would take hundreds of photos of me trying for anything to use against me and when I tried to drive off the property she would jump in front of my car trying to make me hit her. All of this was at the direction of Chelsea.  While all this was going on Rusty hired a lawyer to try to take the Maetreum over legally. One of the people in on the phone call recorded it and I have a copy of that conversation where they are instructed to get me off the property and never let me back on because they had no legal case at all! All of the paperwork incorporating the church, the deed to the property, the organization model, the tax exempt paperwork and the 501c3 were prepared and signed by me personally. None of them appeared on any official document pertaining to the Maetreum and the lawyer knew it. I went to the State Police requesting they remove these people from the property and they refused because the fix was already in with the town of Catskill.

Chelsea personally threatened to carve me up like a turkey and they conducted illegal Conclaves (as Battakes I was the only person who could call a Conclave under our organization model). A couple I knew from Ohio were visiting and saw I was severely being abused and helped me move temporarily down the street into an apartment fearing for my life literally.

The year before all this went down we had applied for and was granted property tax exemption because the property was deeded to the incorporated church, the Maetreum of Cybele. Having driven me off the property, Rusty and Chelsea moved in temporarily and discovered maintaining a 150 year old inn was beyond their ability. Chelsea then told the Town of Catskill we were a sham religion which led to an illegal inspection I was left out of and resulted in revoking our tax exempt status. It took an eight year long legal battle and almost 100 grand in legal fees to get it back.

Chelsea wrote to others that the entire house was screaming at her to get out and they did leaving behind a couple of crack addicts and a vicious dog to keep me from moving back in. I managed to move back into the caretaker’s house at this time and shortly afterwards the crack addicts fled in fear I would take legal action against them. It was shortly after this that Viktoria became involved in the Maetreum during the period of time we had to rebuild much of what was physically destroyed during the Chelsea era. Chelsea and Rusty bought a property in Pine Hill and moved there.

Viktoria was totally aware of what Chelsea, Rusty and Katrina had done even though she had never met them at that point. That she would ally with them demonstrated better than anything else the length she will go to harm the Maetreum and myself even more than the verbal and physical abuse she aimed at me. I had trusted her completely even to the extent of making her my medical proxy and the executrix of my will. It was not until she lost patience in my not dying during open heart surgery that I finally had my eyes fully opened although apparently she was telling many other people she was just waiting for me to die.

In a facebook reply to Jay Stewart, Julie Pousson stated;

Jay Stewart, Vikki’s goal was to wait out Cathryn and take the place over. She stated this goal to me and to others. She profited off the losses she caused, and wholly deserves her fate.”

Pay attention to that part, “she profited off the losses she caused” which can be taken that she was confessing having stolen petty cash she was supposed to deposit in our bank account! She did drive off the women who were priestess tracked undergoing classes during the Pandemic.

Viktoria even went so far as to hook up with someone she met through Chelsea named Cynthia Brian Kate, whom I met once fourteen years ago for about an hour at a trans event at Cauldron Farm. Together she and Viktoria produced a radio show that was an hour long false accusation of the Maetreum as a cult and myself as a cult leader. This was not only broadcast on an Albany community radio station, she then uploaded it to the entire Pacifica network distribution site! It was eventually taken off that site but the damage was done. Just in the past day of this writing Jay Stewart put up a libelist review on the Google Business listing for the Maetreum falsely accusing me of actual crimes and running a radio station without a license. This is why I have posted these last three blog entries. Not out of spite but as a self defense having waited over two years for these “people” to finally stop their insane, transphobic and religious bigoted attacks and to leave a record behind if something happens to me.
