It has been said home is where the heart is. Home is usually associated with a house and all that goes with it. Usually material goods. Home had a different connotation when newcomers, homesteaders came from Britain, Europe, Ukraine, France, Germany, Russia, India, Ireland, Scotland, USA. came to Canada 1790- 1950. Lured to the west by exaggerated government advertisements and private colonization schemes that promised paradise, streets paved with gold. The underground railroad was a route dotted with safe houses, last stop on the route was St. Catherine’s, Ontario. Archives note upper Canada as Ontario and lower Canada as Quebec 1806-1844; when a deluge of European immigrants settled in Canada. St. Catherine safe house on 182 south street Ontario called the garden city is located between greater Toronto and Hamilton area and the USA border at Fort Erie. The largest city in the Niagara region. This was the final terminus on the underground railroad for hundreds of people fleeing slavery in the mid 1800s. This time period and many years previous was classified as the golden era, the Tartaria era of which much is talked about in ominous tones if talked of at all. A global phenomenon that attracts much attention as the next reset is in sway and many people are more than anxious concerning it. There is a direct correlation to the events then and now. That is why it is important to look within, be aware; as there will always somebody ready to tell you who you are by looking at the surface, external appearances. There are many photographs in the public domain of peoples, conductors that were involved in this period on orphan trains, underground railroads, silk road trade routes and many other routes to freedom from slavery.
Many people complain about their existence in any time and space, however if people knew what indentured servants or slaves endured they would be more appeased to their entitled existence in 2025. These homesteaders, immigrants, runaway slaves were free from their oppressors and endless toil that often brought death as a reward; but it was not a paradise. These people were deeply traumatized in many ways body, mind, soul or spirit. There are many real life stories of their personal journey. During consultations of people in their remembering their trauma pointed in a singular direction. Many were born in and endured this golden age. Heart wrenching stories of betrayal, neglect, greed. Forced, coerced into in humane, betrayal of their own values. The slave trade was trading humans as goods for profit, that is the crux of the American civil war and many wars previous and their after. on a global scale. The coming to America and other countries was a series of unfortunate events for many. Residences in Europe was part of the witch hunt burning still in force in Europe at that time. Klan violence under different names in different countries was rampant, human trafficking still continues. No one was immune to this established course of human affairs, plantation owners wives were also a commodity for trade and barter. Those who owned architectural property be it the grand palaces of Europe, or grand houses dotted around the globe in strategic places were front men / women for a shadow contingency some call the cabal, Illuminati, the names change as the era changes, shifts, resets to another stage in humanities development. The tactics of white washing, burning books, erasure of those who have memory, destruction of buildings and the building of a new towns, cities upon older foundations, a new world. All manipulated and controlled by those who remain in the shadows. Those who remained were asylum candidates and the growth of asylums in that time period was phenomenal, Magdalene laundries in Ireland, Salpetere France, the establishments for control of the narrative is still global. The rise of the golden Dawn was in this same time frame but they don’t just appear it takes many years, many deliberately chosen people to accomplish an organization. Many new age / occult groups were designed as counter measures to the shadow agenda but within such groups was always a front person. Who aligned themselves with the controlling elements as that was their role, purpose; often unbeknownst to group members.
Abraham Lincoln won the election in 1860. January 1 1863 The final proclamation declared ” that all persons held as slaves within the rebellious states during the civil war are and hence forth shall be free” December 1865 Freedom from slavery ratification of the 13th amendment officially abolished slavery and involuntary servitude throughout the nation. The emancipation proclamation of 1865 declared the freedom of enslaved people in confederate territory (South). It was the 13th amendment that legally ended slavery.
August 1 1834 slavery officially banned in Canada with the passing of the slavery abolition act by British parliament. This ended slavery throughout most of the British empire. The transition to full freedom for enslaved people was a gradual process with some individuals remaining in apprenticeship like arrangements for a period of time determined by their former owners. In Britain people over the age of six were designated apprentices required to work for their owners for a period of time. There are still reports of enslaved chattel family (1963 Louisiana Sugar of the crop book by Sana Butler 2009 ) is just one. Many more widespread across Europe. July 1951 the witchcraft act was abolished in England and a few months later the Golden Dawn was broken up but they continue in another guise.
France abolished slavery February 4th 1794, Napoleon reinstated it 1802. April 27th 1848 slavery abolished. This part of the Haitian fight for independence filled with real stories of immigrants promised land and opportunities that never manifested. Children of slaves were taken to pay off interest of debts to owners of the land at that time France and Spain. The Caribbean has become famous for it’s pirates and the image of them is much contrived in history books. The pirate Howell Davies dated from the later 1700s has much to do with Welsh immigrants who settled there and the later civil war participants along with children of Barbary coast pirates. Most notable Mourad Reis .
Slavery had not been truly abandoned despite legislation. Slaves kept slaves as well, it is all they were conditioned to do so to survive. Following the directive and example of their owners. The plantations were loosing money due to the emancipation act, and death of slaves in the civil war, and death at the hands of bounty hunters, reapers, witch hunters. Some actually fought in it. Hood winked, coerced with unfulfilled false promises. This materialistic mind set still prevails in business, workplace, in the home, relationships, between male / female dichotomies, even within ones “mind”.
New York or New Amsterdam was a dutch colony founded by Anthony Janszoon Van Sale in 1663. His father the famous Barbary coast privateer turned Corsair pirate and diplomat statesman. He is alternatively known as Mourad Reis has he had to choose to convert to the Muslim / Islam faith or accept the other options presented to him when his ship was captured by them. Jan Janszoon Van Haarlem was dutch and history wrote him up as a 17th c dutch renegade. Mourad Reis. Prior to his capture he was an employee of the Dutch East India company 1598-1602. ( Janszoon voyage of 1605-06 Rishika Janaki, You Tube) Sale is a place in Morocco, there is much history on Janzoon on social media including Magellan TV. Be aware that much of the narratives have been conditioned to fit what I will call the shadow agenda. Many do not investigate what little facts that remain and like the Holy Bible they read literally but it is not about god. It is paleo contact.
Many plantation owners could not read and write hiring someone else to do it. Slaves and women regardless of colour were forbidden to indulge in this great magical mystery of reading and writing. Kept barefoot, ignorant, pregnant and dependant on that men gender, and agenda. The system and form itself perpetuated with such forceful mentality, and brutal subjugation. During this transition in the precarious times the safe houses sent back documents for other travellers that was constantly recycled for other persons passage to freedom. This practice still continues in Jamaica and other countries now designated as third world. Women were treated less than a third world country, despite any entitlement they may hold.
The female, the woman in the home was viewed by both genders at the time as the only way for civilized living. Entrenched in religious undercurrents of civility and mores. Stepping out of that construct was heresy, as was voicing one’s opinion, being possessed by the devil, witchcraft. Many women of the time period had a different experience often based on a perspective contrary to the historical normalized, conditioned narrative and prevailing religious view. Behaviour contrary to what was preached in the home, at work, at church, in public conversation was part of the bias. A prejudice prevailing and deeply entrenched in people’s psyche even in this year of writing 2026.
In the Canadian housewife an affectionate history by Rosemary Neering. A wonderful book. The pioneer woman was more than a housekeeper, seamstress, laundress, nurse, mother, cook and wife. It was domestic science that is what it was called when this author was schooled in Britain. Many embodied the perspective of the divine feminine within the confines, restrictions of their time and allotted space as best they could.
