So during dinner with my mother and I, I'm mentally recieving ideas and thoughts from Edgar (with his wife Virginia quietly on stand-by and observing, and offering suggestions). We were having a very lively conversation and thoughts and ideas for a future work. Through the tarot divinations, I keep getting from Edgar that he wasn't certain or sure how this is going to work, because I wasn't very clear. I started out as "friends" and "lovers" as a template/module to unravel and open the can of karmic whoop-ass in the area of relationships of our lives.

We discussed a lot about what is romantic love and it's nature, and the dynamics of relationships, and comparing ourselves to the relationships to others. H.P Lovecraft was thrown in the mix, but I figured he's a very quiet professor-like person who preferred solitude and he isn't drawn to us at the moment. We even discussed the thought of children, because I learned for that single lifetime, he and Virginia have no children at all. Their dire situation, poverty, tradegy, and losses wouldn't allow them to have children, let alone to sustain them.

Funny enough, he's more interested in my comparison to his relationship to Loki and Sigyn. Poe is very well-versed in mythology and maybe knows a little more than me at this moment. Sigyn was interpreted as a "child-like" bride by some Lokean researchers and followers as their UPG. My reaction toward "child-bride" is that of....face-palm worthy is a nice way to put it, because for many years, I saw Sigyn as a grown-up woman who stood her ground well.

I said, "Loki is a very different entity." Plus, the Loki I know and cared about isn't the Loki known to people, because my Loki is actually a name and aspected energy I given to a spirit guide.

Anyway, we discussed things furthur. There's a certain discomfort of being lovers and spouse because there is a mention of Godspouses in the mix. I know it's not totally safe to say, "Oh, I'm a wife of the spirit of Edgar." Because that make absolutely no sense at all and it was total dramatic horseshit by itself already hahaha, and I wanted to shed my ego and my pain. And I made plans to go back to my main spirit husband, Arthur.

Plus another main reason was because if this legacy of pointless marriages and proposals continue, then we haven't learn anything from our mistakes in the past. Plus, the point of this relationship is spiritual lessons and learning a lot from each other by playing roles.

It's safe for people to be a spouse/devotees of the deities and gods, because it's a Universal Spirit that is available to all for the spiritual assistance, but Edgar is a singular soul and entity that has taken a lot of damage in one single lifetime to advance his own spirit.

So I said to him, "Well, you and Virginia have no children. Have you ever experience what is like raising a child?" Because I can named how many numerous women just imagined having astral/spirit children and pregnancies to the point of absurdity.

"Virginia always wanted to raise babies." Edgar said. "But we're too poor to let alone raising one."

With some thought, "Why not try to be a father-like figure? You know, you can still mentor me and treat me like a child and a student, plus I figured you wanted daugthers anyway. Because I'm an adult already, I can take care of myself, and it's much better this way."

I felt an encouragement and nudging Virginia like this idea and she wanted to play along too, and have some fun. To my surprise, she is very nice and felt very animated and lively, even around me. I was afraid of being disliked, but I'm learning so much in the area of compassion and empathy, and not feeling guilt or burden in what happened in the past (or worrying about the future).

"Why a good idea. I like that. I like that very much." And Edgar feel pleased.

I feel there is much food for thought to reflect and meditate upon, and we come to our full closure of much learning and advancement of like mind and spirits.

And what's amazing is that up until now, I didn't discuss about aliens and starseeds with Edgar, at least...not yet. We're just unraveling the our memories and our lives, as if in fond nostalagia, everything else is history.

So there you have it, this is how I become a child and mentor of Poe. And that make a LOT of sense, because then I can expand the shrine and journal more, since I mentioned Hecate as my mother too, and being her child.

I'm learning from Poe's mistake from the past, especially concerning where Fatherhood is concerned. Poe parents abandoned him, and his father strangled his soul through money, cursing, threats, and suffered him to the point of death and suicide, and treated him unfairly. He reminded me a lot of my father and his alcholic rages where he curses and screams and abused my own mother. I sometimes wonder if Poe's abuses was channeled into his work, and if it is and it does, then a lot of people dismissed it as fictional work and imagination and repressed desires of anger and urges that was controlled and supressed by the puritan Christian society of his time, but I think this substance and emotional abuse was shown in the letters of the women he pursued and sadly to say, I bet some of the people who disliked him may have look down on him and seen hima as a hick. Either way, the society back then do not understand that his nerves and temper were not signs of madness, but a chemical imbalance of the brain that is prone to manic episodes of depression. A bipolar disorder as we understood today.

Anyways, thinking about Fatherhood now, this brought a lot of thought on his part, and I can feel he's very sorry about this lack of lesson in his life, including his own marriage. I think if I'm a Poe child, I can forgive Edgar as an absentee, negliget dad too. My father died poor, penniless, and leaving me nothing to sustain, even money for college.

Speaking of children of Poe, there is an anthology of horror short stories and fiction book called, "Poe's Children" edited by Peter Staub. My favorite tale in that story is Cleopatra Brimstone by Elizabeth Hand, and the weirdest crazy one is Leda by M. Rickert.

There is another anthology book inspired by Poe, called New Tales Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe edited by Ellen Datlow, but I didn't read any of it. I don't have the time and attention span.

This song reminds me of him. I bet we all wanna go Home at several different point in our lives.

Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads.

All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads.

I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away.
And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads

I called him several different nicknames and I want to bring out more of the positive qualities of him as a muse and guide. The Master (of his own work), the Raven Lord, Papa Poe, Eddy Bunny (basing on the story of Edward Tulane) and it's set for a series of parables I wanted to write.

Poe was known for writing really, really unhappy stories and poems of murder, madness, and unhappy love poems and stories. I think there is some fairy tales and sci-fi and non-fiction as well making him a versatile writer in most genres, but I didn' the time to read them. Fortunately for me, I work full-time and I need my job to pay for the rent, so I'm in a better financial situation than most people.

I actually wanted to take the time to write happy poems and parables, as a metaphor of timeless spiritual lessons that has a healing factor in it.

Anyway, in my mind's eye, Poe and his wife were done with their visit and business with me. I saw them took the elevator to go "upstairs", meaning their spirits return back to Heaven to allow my main spirit guides to work with me. They wave good-bye and I felt they learn much from their visit from me, and now I have to allow some more leg-room to work on my stories. I want to write the stories using my own energy and my own voice, since original is MUCH more hard than using the Master's own voice.

Though, Papa Poe will drop in every now and then, like my Earth Father would, to see how the work and project is doing.

He gave me a warning using my Oracle of Visions deck that he will say good-bye soon. I have sensed that Mr. Poe is going to be temporary leaving me and he left me once we met closure. And well, he left, leaving me to ponder what my lessons means to me. I figured it out because I don't have that Southern drawl voice in my head.

I won't know when he comes back, but things are getting very stressful in my home, that I need to say good-bye to him and call back my original guides for help and create new projects. He understands and actually wanted to leave too, and will return when there's a call and need for his help.

I know spirits tend to come and go, aiding the people on Earth with spiritual lessons. I learned many good lessons about him: About my broken relationships with my father and mother, about what's broken can be mended again, about myself, about suffering, about real love, forging good communications and inviting new friends, healing and learning to care for another, and having faith that magic comes from learning one's life from another and understanding one another, and I'm glad we're friends.

Until next time, Mr. Poe, I hope to see you soon.
