Two years later, in 1906, the name of this village was changed to Nolalu, an acronym for the Northern Lands and Lumber Company.


A village once deemed deserving of a name honouring the Irish High King Eochaid Feidlech, whose daughter was the infamous Queen Medb, would find itself stripped of such a magical beginning and named after a lumber company that clear cut the land of the trees, and five years later, in 1909, the community would build a depot and name it The Farmer’s Mercantile Cooperative in the village proper.



The mercantile was a two story hand hewn log building sitting in between the Whitefish River and the Port Arthur Duluth Railway line and across the river was the main highway that could be reached by crossing a small steel Bailey bridge.


The Port Arthur Duluth Railway carried the farm produce to market after it was collected at the mercantile, and with the funds from the sales, the villagers would purchase their needed farm and household supplies from the cooperative.



I would continue my spiritual journey, in the bush among the trees and wildlife of Northwestern Ontario, in this village with its cooperative that is today referred to as the Farmers Mercantile Building.


I would eventually marry the man who owned this building and discover a portal in the second floor loft after a lucid dream. A portal that acted as a purgatory for the lost souls of this village and a portal that allowed me to see the spirit of a priest after I had returned home from a trip to France.



The same trip where I had been threatened by the Devil after seeing the woman crucified on the cross in a dream. The priest coming through the portal was hiding what he was carrying from wherever he had come from.


I was frightened for my life because I believed if he got anywhere near me, he would kill me. Eventually I deciphered what he was hiding, I learned he was carrying and hiding the secret of the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau, the secret that made the priest François-Bérenger Saunière a wealthy man.
