Why exactly I chose Majacraft – the ‘Method behind the madness’
Why exactly I chose Majacraft – the ‘Method behind the madness’
Well, tell that to Japanese or German car manufacturers – do people really only settle on the cheaper ends of the range available because anything more expensive is just a waste, or could it be that intangible but oh so very important factor called ‘Personal Taste’ may have been left out of the equation…?
Probably one of the most important things to mention – I can and will never sell anything I do not fully endorse and love using myself. To do anything else would be akin to prostitution! And I have never really ‘connected’ to that other brand…
It’s as simple as that!
It’s comparable to the fact that I like to drive an Isuzu, and not a Toyota! I used to drive Mazdas, owned 7 over the years, last one in Belgium, until I returned to South Africa, had an accident where I couldn’t walk any more (you can read up on that here – https://verlorevallei.com/how-it-all-started-a-philosophical-tangent/, had to learn to walk again, and with great effort, I started looking at a new vehicle – and the Mazda showroom in Pretoria was only accessible via steep steps I couldn’t manage at the time… I turned around, called Isuzu and asked them to come and see me, and the rest was history… Connection, quality and personal service… And no, I’m not getting anything from Isuzu at all, but they are welcome to try, I am in need of a new vehicle… Hihihi…
But when it comes to the Majacraft products, the spinning wheels, the hand combs, the drum carder… There is just something I cannot put my finger on – it’s like they are an extention of who and what I am… And as I love spinning and working with fibre, I have always been one to get as much pleasure from the tools I use, as from the actual work I’m doing. I am sure this applies to most creative souls out there!
OK, so this has already covered the main reasons – because I personally connected with the Majacraft products, and there is no reason I would want to use anything else… And because I absolutely LOVE spinning and fibre prep, and I made a concious decision that THAT will be my future career, as well as my hobby – the JUICE that makes my life worth living! That’s also why I established my alpaca farm with the associated fibrecraft business.https://verlorevallei.com/all-about-alpaca/
And now I will explain why I decided to make spinning and fibre prep my life’s mission from here, and for which I therefore will obviously be using and making the Majacroft products available for others to use too – because I’m like that, if I’m brimming with enthusiasm about something, I cannot help but sharing it with others!
Let me stress once again – I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PROMOTE SOMETHING I DO NOT LOVE USING MYSELF!
There is one VERY important other factor that nobody in the spinning community (and the rest of humanity for that much) has considered, that I KNOW is about to kick in big time!
If you’re not one for taking a deep dive or reading a lot, I suggest you skip the next few pages and continue reading from ***
Because there is a flip-side to all that’s been going on around the world for at least the last 40 years… And this is sort of back-ground info to the fibre prep/spinning wheel saga. It also fits in with why I decided to farm with alpaca and not sheep. And why I ended up at Majacraft in the first place. Fibre preparation, and hand combs in particular – or as some call them, Viking combs… Because that’s where hand combs have first been in use… Way back in the age of the Vikings, where some of the earliest remnants of spindle whorls were found too…
All that’s happening around us is part of a 6000-year cycle that has repeated itself for millions of years, over and over again, with the same regular rhythm like day versus night, winter versus summer, and we have reached the end of the last cycle. https://youtu.be/qu_ceqtKgMg?si=O-LksQ5DGvZNid3y And that’s about to end rather badly for some people who are not prepared for what’s coming, and believe more taxes and ‘voting for the right party’ will somehow make a difference… That somehow, someone is going to make it all go away – as long as people pay more taxes…
Those you voted for, who are collecting your taxes, they knew about what I’m talking about here for many years allready – they chose to blame YOU for ‘climate change’ and want more of your money so they can prepare their own little nests… But it is safer not talking about that… I wouldn’t want another accident…
In a ‘nutshell’…
Spinning, like all the handcrafts, is about to make a huge comeback again – simply because the entire ‘industrial revolution’ and corporate factory rule will be falling away, like a wheel dropping off a carriage… Obsolete… LIFE AS YOU KNEW IT, IS ABOUT TO CHANGE…
I look forward to the change, I’ve been preparing for it for at least 15 years… And quite frankly, I’m sick of the perversion and Satanic rule being forced on us, so bring it on…
It is worth noting that the GREAT RESET was not an original term coined by the WEF, they just wanted to make sure they make it work for them and nobody else! That they would be in the right spots, and the rest could be eliminated by nature…
After all, think about it, if you have ‘insider knowledge’ about some serious event that is bound to wipe out all your opposition, your perceived enemies, anything, especially those you consider ‘useless eaters’, as long as you can keep them in the dark, and preferably herded into a danger zone, would you go and warn them? Or would you try to keep the secret at all cost?
If you knew what would be required for people to recover, and you didn’t want them to recover, would you not try and lead them in the wrong direction? So they will be bound to be caught off-guard? If you’re a psychopath for starters, would you not weigh them down even more so they sink deeper into the mud?
Likewise, if you’re a decent human being, somehow knowing all of this, would you not try and warn people as much as you can, despite efforts to silence you? Would you not be going out of your way to try and guide people on the right path, so they will be better able to survive once the storms pass and the shaking stops?
This battle between good and evil has been going on for centuries, and it all boils down to THIS subject… Who will be in control when the time comes and the hourglass resets…? And who will be able to STAY WARM! Because it’s not about ‘global warming’, this event is ALWAYS followed by a new ice age…
Now, go and do your own digging… You’re going to need a LOT of fibre, and definitely the skills of being able to spin and process that fibre into clothing and blankets… Better start now, but stay away from synthetics…!
Hint… What if we were to face a huge solar flare that wipes out all electricity and life as we know it, for long enough to reset everything…? Here’s another interesting video on that subject…https://youtu.be/bL64EcVMHMs?si=SVjwPaQDW_pgqSYW
I focus on spinning, NOT e-spinning, because quite frankly, in my opinion this is the MOST IMPORTANT skill, besides nerves of steel, and some steel for that matter, ANYONE will need during those first years after the lights go out… Just imagine a world without string, rope, yarn, and remember, there won’t be wire anymore either… Have you ever considered how often you need to bind something? There’s a reason why serious survivalists all zoom in on paracord bracelets as an initial ‘must have’… This video is considered a MUST WATCH source on why I believe spinning to be so important… https://youtu.be/Yz7WeQZscLI?si=Y6oYnKUCfIJlWdAD
If you know how to spin your own cords, make your own ropes, not to mention spinning your own yarns for weaving to clothe your family, you have a serious advantage! And even more so if you have the right tools on hand from the start!
Focusing on those first few days: Imagine there is no grid power anymore. No need to go to work, or the next lock-down was already in full swing (which will probably be the case, because the powers that be wants to power everything down beforehand and has planned to lock certain things away in safe mode, in the hope of just restarting their own things again afterwards, once they emerge again from their underground 5-star hotels).
No electricity, so no water in the taps, the toilets can’t be flushed anymore, no water to drink, so washing clothes is the last thing on your mind, unless you have a baby and no more nappies on hand, and if you need to mix formula, because you were a working mom, not breast-feeding, you are in real trouble. The fridge is filled with inedible food, if any, and the freezer only holds rotten food if you didn’t manage to somehow preserve what was left in there. No rubbish removal, no fuel left for the emergency generator, or to drive to the shops, and besides, the shops don’t have anything on offer any more, they were looted to the last bottle of water and limp lettuce…
Maybe you were clever enough and saved enough fuel to load your car with what you can salvage and set off to find a safe haven… Because you need to get away from the city, murderous gangs roam the streets looking for food and water, it’s just not safe to stay…
If you were ‘awake’, your phone would not be the first to be packed, but spare warm clothes and bedding, even if it was summer! And your spindles and spinning wheel, along with some fibres to spin! This is where a MajaCraft Little Gem Spinning Wheel, our number 1 seller! will come in extra handy, with some spare bobbins and at least a Niddy Noddy. Your sealed package of veggie seeds. Some basic tools. You’re going to need it!
Now let’s focus on ‘after’: You managed to salvage quite a bit, and to get to a reasonably safe spot somewhere in the countryside, with a clean source of water close by, you were able to keep some seeds like tomatoes, green peppers, and maybe some beans, corn and carrots, beetroot, cabbage, even quick-growing veggies like lettuce and radishes, so you have a tiny garden where you can grow some of your own food, you managed to get your hands on some chickens that did not end up being eaten right away, so you get the odd egg as well…
Your days are filled with mending whatever clothes you brought with you, preparing meals, and keeping the birds, bunnies and deer from demolishing your garden… Those videos you watched on getting your hands on clay, and making and firing your own clay pots paid off. But winter is coming, and ever since the power went out, the earthquakes increased, storms got worse, something’s brewing, and dark days and cold weather is coming…
Oh, did I mention the flare will come around 10 years before the actual poles flip, leading to the actual crustal shift too…? The flare will be the rollercoaster going over the edge, the ride will stop once the crust has shifted, so be ready for a ten-year ride at least. Then the rebuilding will start…
There are no clothing stores anymore, and when you left your house, you grabbed what you could, but you didn’t bring all the clothes, spare blankets and pillows and such, and besides, the kids’ clothes don’t fit that well anymore, and everything else is becoming quite threadbare… Shoes are worn right through their soles! What now!
This is where genetics step in again! Either your survival instincts will rule, or you will lose it and seriously consider suicide…
Before I go further on that subject, I need to set another record straight.
Yes, this scenario also requires a very specific gender to be reinstalled in her rightful place. Because that’s how spinning and other life skills were removed from society for starters!
And let me interject right now, I also believe real men with real b@lls need to step forward and accept their responsibilities again, I am certainly not against them! In fact, I have been looking for one all my life, and eventually accepted they are either dead or taken, or stuck in a different dimension. I only bumped into the sweepings, so I eventually accepted I’ll be surviving on my own, taking on both roles, not by choice, but based on need… Been there, done that, not bumping my head again…
Just because there was a concerted effort over centuries, and even more so in the last century – to take the ‘Woman’ out of women, destroying the ‘Feminine’ and all it represents, with an added effort since the 80’s, and the latest nauseating trans-trash, where well-known political figures walk around with their ‘wives’ on the side (Obama/Macron to name just two), if not themselves in full drag (Jack Ardern), forgetting those ‘packages’ that have a way of peeking out and going bananas at the most in-opportune moments, doesn’t mean the manipulating corporate hands behind the scenes managed to successfully implement their insidious drive to remove all vestiges of natural women and CARING.
And once again, I have had many normal gay friends over the years, I deliberately say ‘normal gay’ because they still assume a normal position in life, be it nurturing, healing, creating or caring… They would definitely not line up to do a ‘gay parade’… What I call trans-trash concerns the vulgar end of a spectrum that doesn’t exist among normal people, it’s something that crawled straight out of hell… And Hollywood and politics seem to ooze this disease…
Those same minds seem to loathe the very existence of anything truly feminine, but they managed to overplay their hands in their gleeful gloating of how they could conjure ‘rainbows’ through all their fakery!
Oh, they tried their level best, by trying to pulverise the rock-solid foundation that has made human society flourish for eons! They tried to turn everyone on earth into domesticated farm animals, where the females of our species would also become nothing more than ‘dual-purpose’ animals. There to breed a new generation of slaves, that would then be signed off to government-controlled schools where the necessary propaganda would begin literally from day one, once they harvested that first batch of adrenochrome-rich placental blood to make their ‘elixir of life’.
And if you haven’t heard of adrenochrome, it’s high time you wake up! Because THAT’s why babies really ‘need to be born in hospitals’… The placenta is harvested and generates a lot of money for the pharma industry! It’s a massive subject on its own, and it fits in with why abortions are such a lucrative ‘harvest’ for those Satanic trash too… The more pain and fear that little fetus endured before it gave up its fight for life and got ripped to pieces, the more adrenochrome would have been released into its tiny bloodstream, and the more ‘life-force’ they can then harvest in their elixirs… It’s beyond SICK!
Barely days after birth, or maybe a few weeks if the baby is lucky, the little bundle would now be dropped off at day-care, and from there the ‘mother-figure’ would be taken over by the system, often (s)mothered by some drag queen, and the real mother would take up her duties to do whatever the conveyor belt system requires her to do, otherwise she would not be able to afford all the trivial trash the corporate media advertising machine would force down her throat, convincing her she couldn’t live without it.
Not to mention the fact that a single person’s income can no longer pay for even cheap low-cost housing, energy expenses and transport, or feed an average family in a healthy sustainable way… And the fact that, as a result of deficient diets, people are sicker by the day, is something gleefully planned by the pharmaceutical industry, it is part of their business plan! You’ll realise just how this all fits together, when you realise the same ‘investors’ hold shares in the pharma AND ‘food’ processing companies. I deliberately say ‘foof’ because what’s left after they ‘processed’ it, can only be compared to pesticides and slow-release poison…
I’ve been over this enough in other posts, so anyone not up to scratch on this insidious abuse of humans, are welcome to brush up on some sad facts by reading some previous posts.
I have for many years felt I was born 200 years too late, because I just couldn’t understand how people could be so blind as to what’s openly going on around them, there for all to see, but like frogs in a pot of water brought to a slow simmer, people seem to enjoy the comfortable numbing heat of their ‘jacuzzi’… Oblivious to the danger, until it’s too late!
But it’s not all doom and gloom! It seems many of the ‘froggies’ world-wide are snapping out of their comfortable snooze, and are jumping from the pot, just in time!
It seems I was in fact born too soon, rather than too late… Thus, I can help to warn people and get them to wake up in time! As long as I can remember, I ended up doing things or recognised the need to do things a certain way long before others woke up to the possibilities… Obviously being called a conspiracy nut at first… And I have noticed for a few years now that people are definitely waking up to their true potential! So much so, I have taken a step back and left warning to those who have since woken up, while I dug in to get my own ‘nest’ established.
So now it is time to discuss the tools that really matter…
Because I lived in and travelled throughout Europe between May 2004 and August 2009, even as far as Canada, and since I have worked for transnational companies as a translator for more than 2 decades, even to this day, I have a much broader take on things. I don’t focus on the ‘local evening news’, which happens to be the magician’s hand waving to keep focus away from what the other hand is doing… I follow that other hand like a hawk…
In fact, I do not watch main stream news at all any more, because I see right through all the lies and manipulation. Besides, I have never been fooled by ‘magic’ shows anyway… I prefer to check every country’s headlines and from all sides, because most of it consists of careful manipulation.
When anything makes the ‘headlines’, you can bet your bottom dollar something really important is being brushed under the carpet elsewhere, or some important legislation is sneaked in somewhere…
It was round about the 80’s that girls stopped learning subjects at school like ‘domestic science’/’huishoudkunde’, and it became more important to school curriculums that girls would learn how to ‘serve’ in tourism rather than being good housewives. In fact, the mere fact that any woman would imagine being a ‘stay-at-home-mom’ and a good housewife, would guarantee her being ridiculed as the epitome of laziness!
I can just imagine Greta Thunberg’s screechy voice – ‘How dare you…!’… You should serve your Satanic Corporate gods (complete with their nauseating symbology), not work hard at being a perfect mother! Perfect mothers are a danger to the state, because their kids would grow up to be perfectly balanced human beings, not easily brainwashed stageprops…!
So decent mothers bit their tongues and did the best they could do, trying to juggle a household AND being a corporate slave at the same time, trying to save their kids from the clutches of iPhone, Android and peer pressure, not to mention that treacherous trans-trash being forced on everyone, every turn they take…
Sadly, still not realising the ‘fast convenience’ food they serve their families because they no longer have the time to grow healthy fresh veggies and cook and serve wholesome meals, are in fact laced with the very hormones that will make Mary turn into Mike, and Jack running off to become Jill… With fertility being a thing of the past!
But then Corporate Greed overplayed their hand completely, and they bit off more than they could chew…. When they thought all their careful planning led to perfect timing, and herding all the sheeple into enclosures at the same time, will have the right effect… Everyone stepping up and lining up for slaughter… Some did, yes… But others snapped out of it!!!!
I have noticed that this blatant move ALSO had the effect of waking up the froggies in their hot tubs, and the great escape to begin!!!! Sadly, those still fast asleep won’t have a clue as to what I’m talking about here…
*** I have had the pleasure of noticing how people all around the world have started to wake up from their hibernation, to see how one by one they started to tune back into reality, how they again realised there are REAL things that matter!
Like rather choosing a lovely spinning wheel that will provide endless hours of mindful relaxation, every step on the treadle making their hearts sing, while doing something truly useful and functional, like clothing their family and creating something to barter with, instead of wasting even more money on the latest Iphone or laptop!
As a woman, I have obviously focused more on the things that mattered to me, and that’s how I noticed a clear difference taking place world-wide. I have also noticed people in South Africa seem to be about 10 years behind their counterparts in Europe, the US and UK, Australia and New Zealand. Based on logistics, but definitely also by design! And I have noticed the massive strides taken in these other countries over the last 10 years. Which leaves me with high hopes for the future! There is still a bit of time to prepare after all!
We just do not have the support yet to promote that growth, because our customs and government was established to prevent all of that from happening, their corporate keepers paying big bribes to keep their slaves hard at work with no spare time to want to become self-sufficient… And certainly not to allow opposition for Amazon to raise its sneaky head…
Just look at the absolute ridiculous cost of shipping and import duties into South Africa! Unless you buy from Amazon or its Eastern brand, Temu.
But I can say with confidence that the handcraft scenery in South Africa is about to change big time… People were deliberately kept in the dark as to what’s available to ‘feed their hobbies’, and even more insidiously, people were led to believe certain things are just that – ‘hobbies’… And to spend money on a hobby is just so ‘wrong’, especially when people are battling to make ends meet… They should rather get something ‘useful’ like the latest Android or iPhone…
Yet that’s a glorified slave collar that makes you trackable, and the technology LITTERALLY keeps sheeple docile, or rioting on command – while they pay ridiculous amounts to ‘proudly’ wear their slave collar!
People now just need to make that very important connection, that a ‘hobby’ is in fact what used to be known as their ‘calling’… Their God-given ‘talents’ Jesus referred to that some would go and bury, and some would use to multiply… It’s the ‘juice’ that makes life worth living, and most of the time, if we were living normal lives and not plugged into the system as slaves, it is in fact enough to make a living with too! That in the case-study in the beginning, those people’s hobbies are what would keep their families fed, clothed and healthy in the end!
Consider things like canning and other food preservation skills, fibre preparation, even shearing sheep, spinning, weaving, sewing, gardening and a knowledge of herbs and making salves, blending teas and making tinctures, woodworking skills, and a thorough knowledge of mechanics! It will be invaluable in future!
And KNOWLEDGE in general! When you need to pack up and leave quickly and space is limited, it’s great to know knowledge comes along regardless! Once acquired, it cannot be stolen from you! And it doesn’t take up space!
For literally thousands of years, spinning was part of people’s daily lives, for both men and women! Spindle weights have been found at archaeological sites dating back 6000 years! That’s when the last ‘natural reset’ took place, and people had to start from scratch again…
Obviously, very little in the line of wooden objects have survived that long, so one doesn’t really know what else survived way back then! So we have to accept that spinning wheels were rather newcomers on the scene… Not that I believe that for a moment.
I prefer to have mine packed and ready to spin away! And that’s why I decided on Majacraft – I prefer to have something that will set my spirits soaring when times are tough… And since I don’t bother with the ‘latest iPhone’, or any other fancy phone for that matter, that even if you had it stashed away in a Faraday cage, will be of zero use once the lights go out and the signal is lost, I’d rather settle on spending that money on the best spinning wheel I REALLY like, and that my money can buy. One that’s truly functional too, and not just a show piece to flaunt in keeping up with the Jones’s, otherwise I might have opted for a Goldings spinning wheel. But somehow, I don’t see that as my everyday spinning wheel, and not even as a show piece. They are lovely, but just not ‘me’…
This is also why I invested in Majacraft’s hand combs, hackles, carders, swifts and even a niddy noddy, and a manual drum carder with extra drums – the Fusion Engine – and yes, more than enough bobbins for spinning loads of yarn! All the things I will really need when the time comes, and in exactly the style I like. It’s ME!
Tastereally does matter when it comes to arts and crafts! After all, that’s what makes us all different!
In one sentence, I’d rather buy a Majacraft spinning wheel to spin my dreams in reality, than waste money on the latest iPhone only to be sucked deeper into the ‘matrix’…
And at the very best, should the sun decide to behave itself after millions of years of keeping to a 6000-year reset-sequence, and nothing strange happens, I will still be able to use my ‘talents’ and doing what I love doing most, on my favourite equipment… Now that’s what I call a win-win situation!
