JANUARY 2025
The hawk visited me on the first and second of January as it circled over the lake near my residence. I couldn’t help but wonder if a change was afoot. I posted the following video on the third of January, which I found very interesting. I’d always felt trapped throughout my entire life.
A major solar flare measuring X1.2 erupted from Active Region (AR) 3947 at 11:39 UTC on January 3, 2025.
The Sun emitted a strong X1.8 solar flare, peaking at 7:48 a.m. ET on Jan. 4, 2025.
On Monday, January 6, 2025, I received clarity on my BigY-700 test results from September 2024.
My researcher wrote: First, you and your Moroccan match discovered a new branch on the paternal haplotree of mankind that was not yet documented. You belong to a rare lineage. We don’t know whether it is rare because there aren’t many people from that lineage, or the ones who are alive haven’t tested yet, we don’t know. However, you two are in a sense pioneers of your genetic lineage. Your test brought your portion of the haplotree thousands of years closer to the present day. Maybe a year from now, three years, ten years from now, someone will be more informed when they get their test because you and your Moroccan match both tested Big Y.
Y-DNA is largely dependent on how many people have tested. Because your lineage is so rare, the sample size is minimal. There are only 7 people who have tested and share the ancestor you descend from who lived around 2,000+ years ago. If you compare my paternal lineage, we have almost 2,000 people tested from a shared ancestor around that same period. The more data, the more clear the picture. Hopefully, more people will test your lineage over time.
Also, just because you and your Moroccan match likely (my opinion only) share a common ancestor of European descent doesn’t make the connection any less interesting. Are you a direct descendant of the Moroccan royal dynasty? Unsure. Is it still incredibly unique and rare that your Moroccan match descends from a free Moroccan family in the 18th Century Carolinas and you are connected to that? Absolutely! There is so much history to explore and work you could do to help unpack and discover that.
And so the mystery continues.
January 10, 2025, was the 25th anniversary of my mother’s passing.
During the early morning hours of January 14, I woke up from an exciting dream:
On the wall in front of me was a small slot machine that accepted only pennies. For some reason, I loved the simplicity. I walked up to the machine, put in my penny, and suddenly found myself winning a bunch of shiny copper coins, a collection of pure silver coins, and glossy, silver trinkets. While organizing my winnings someone from behind began taking some of my winnings. Instead of fighting for what was mine I graciously accepted my loss as an important life lesson and decided to be more careful exposing any future winnings in the future.
Using Dreammoods.com I began piecing together my interpretation. To see a penny in your dream indicates your fears of poverty or financial loss. (Nope) Alternatively, the dream is often connected with your talents, energies, and perseverance. Do not underestimate your ability. If the penny is shiny, then it signifies luck. (Yep) Silver coins represent spirituality, intuition, values, and your sense of self-worth. Copper coins indicate healing. To see silver in your dream symbolizes the moon, intuition, and the feminine aspects of yourself. It signifies tranquility and understated confidence. This was very interesting because the Full Cancer Moon had conjunct Mars the day before. I had also been witnessing Orion and the Pleiades which were directly overhead every night around midnight.
Around Noon Thirty that same day, while doing chores around my residence, I looked outside and noticed that the large family of twelve squirrels had all but disappeared from my front yard. Upon closer inspection, I saw my friend the Hawk in a Dogwood tree no more than twenty feet from my front door. I took the following photograph. The time on my phone read 12:34.
The hawk was about ten feet off the ground and looking down at the section of grass where I would normally find the squirrels running and playing with one another. Coupled with my dream I knew this sighting had a message for me. Was it asking me to focus, to keep my eye on something, or patiently wait for something? Since Red-tailed Hawks can live for 20 years, I wondered if this hawk was the same one I photographed in 2013 while visiting my niece at the same residence during the introduction to Blood Moon Tetrad.
Wilmington, North Carolina – December 2013
On January 16, I finally broke down and purchased a new mattress. I had been sleeping on low-quality temporary mattresses for the last twenty years since I began my adventure in 2004, I finally had enough money to purchase something much nicer. I felt spoiled that night as I drifted off to sleep.
