When Nature Speaks... Channeled Messages from the Storm

Hello Beautiful Souls!

I don’t usually share messages like this, but I was guided by ancestors to do so. This was not a message meant solely for me so I can't hoard it - but brace yourself! Fair warning :)

So... We finally had some rainfall in the Austin, Texas area. I sensed it coming for a few days and man was it welcome! Turned out to be a thunderstorm and before it hit, my window was open, further welcoming it. The sky started to darken, the wind started blowing harder, and then I heard what sounded like a woman screaming. The wind howls and speaks to us all the time, but this time, as I’m listening, I got emotional and felt the urge to cry. After that, messages just started coming through. They were coming so fast I had to ask for a timeout so that I could kick my kids out the office and get some paper LOL!

I had enough time to do that and light a candle before they started again. This is what came through:

Some of it was lost because I couldn’t remember the initial messages to capture them, but I still feel that I got what I needed. At the end I heard the word ‘Type’ a few times and it took a while to register that it meant to finish by typing the rest on the computer.

What stood out was the fact that our Earth Mother seemed to be connecting to all mothers/women. The messages were in relation not just to the recent Supreme Court ruling on abortion but to how women all over are fed up – including Gaia. She isn’t just sad and in pain, but also angry!

We are all children of the Earth, but she feels for her daughters right now. The words ‘disrespect’ and ‘disregard’ rang loudly. Think about how people litter, cut down trees, use her flowers for decoration but don’t plant any of our own, and take from her in all kinds of other ways. I’m also hearing now as I’m typing that she’s been raped with concrete roads! We are cutting more trees and building more houses and corporations yet denying global warming and not hearing her when she says she needs love. She feels taken advantage of – like many women – but rarely complains – like many women.

As I was channeling, I pulled cards too and wrote them down. I wanted it to be quick so I asked why she was crying and what will help and pulled one card from each deck I used. For the first question I got the 10 of Swords and Victory shadow card, and Forest Bathing for what can help. What I heard after that was “Victory at what cost? Stepping on others to win a power game. No victory & no defeat either.”

The 10 of Swords may seem like a defeat but even though there is hurt involved, it's still not the end of the world.

And if you can look closely at the Victory card, you’ll see this large figure in a victory pose with what appears to be the sun behind it and at the bottom of the card, there are other figures in water trying to hold on to the feet of the figure. It looks like this figure is standing on land/sand after making it out of the water while the others are trying to stay afloat or hoping to be pulled out.

Among other things, the sun represents the masculine and the ego – and/or the ego of the masculine as I’m reading it today. With all this talk of the ‘Rise of the Feminine’ (also depicted in this card), this recent abortion decision was what I call a ‘Patriarchal Pushback’ and the ultimate pussy grab! This was not just about power and control in politics. As I was channeling, I felt pulsing and such in my solar plexus chakra. They hit women straight in the gut with this.

This is also about more than your views on abortion – this is a blow to women’s rights in general. The Supreme Court didn’t ban abortions, but they made it easier for men in government to, who have been threatening to do so. The issue is of control and domination (over women) in general. I’m also hearing women need to be supporting other women. Some are happy with the abortion decision, and that’s okay, but what is a victory to you comes with judgment, denial, and degradation of other women. Especially those ancestors who fought hard for women’s rights.

If more opinions made policies, then we should be far ahead when it comes to things like gun rights…but since that doesn’t fit their agenda, it’s overlooked. Everyone is entitled to their views and opinions, but if it's not your body – or baby – then why is it your business? My shadow says that those who are so against it should create a registry and put their names on it to adopt the babies and take care of them. It's too easy to judge people and think we know what’s best for others but it's too much to put ourselves in another’s shoes! I don’t get it…but anyhow…back to the messages…

When I asked what could help, I got the Forest Bathing card, which implies connecting with nature. If you feel and resonate with her outrage and outcries, then she says to come to her. “She has taken on a lot, but she wants your load too.” Isn’t this what mothers do? No matter how hard we work, have to clean, cook, and make the house a home, we still have energy to heal boo-boos and hug and try to ease the cries and worries of our children. Even if you aren’t a mother, think about yours (mother, grandmother, big sister, stepmother or another maternal figure/caretaker) or the siblings, cousins, godchildren, or others you care for. I also heard the chorus of the song by Ja Rule and Lil’ Mo “When I cry, you cry, we cry, together…”

Even if you don’t resonate, she wants all her children to connect with her. She loves all her children and wants to feel the love too. I’m hearing that her power is in the storms and such. However, as women, if we feel we’ve lost some power, it’s time to reclaim it and persevere. It can’t be considered a victory for them if we don’t feel a sense of defeat…

I went ahead and got what I thought would be a few additional cards LOL but as always, I got a story! After I did, I felt called to go outside – especially with the Wild Winds and Thunderstorm cards that came out! So, me and my kids hung out in the rain. They sang and ran around, and I did some earthing. The storm seemed to be clearing up and then it started raining harder before it stopped. That symbolized to me a message of polarity and duality, as well as the wheel of fortune tarot card – things will seem difficult before they become easy; there is an up for every down – and so on.

Another thing I noticed when we were coming back inside is how tired I felt! I was exhausted and worn out, but I had to push through it and get through everything else that needed to be done before we were able to wind down. I heard too that our Earth Mother feels the same way. But when exactly does she get to rest? She (and a lot of women) doesn’t necessarily complain, but she/we sure don’t mind appreciation and acknowledgement every once in a while!

Here is a photo of the other cards I pulled:

About the clarity lol... I was trying to capture the whole layout, but what had happened...

---

They seem to have different stories: In the Fear and Judgment cards, I couldn’t help but notice what appeared to me as organs/womb energy. Considering the words alone, what I picked up was that for some reason or another, whoever we consider the ‘they’ in this story, will attempt to instill some kind of fear and judgment with the Supreme Court decision. Many far-right republicans have been talking about this for a while and here in Texas, for example, the Governor has already signed a bill banning abortions after 6-weeks, a timeframe in which many people first find out they are pregnant! The judgment comes already with thoughtless people calling others ‘murderers’ and such, notwithstanding many reasons why one may choose what they do and the fact that it is none of their concern!

With the Connection and Identity card, I am being brought back to my theme of a patriarchal pushback. I am being told to speak to women right now.

The first thing that comes to mind is how far women have come. A woman’s identity was always in the shadow of a man. Men were the dominant force and controlled everything from votes to money. Women in America didn’t have rights until those who were fed up decided they were going to do something about it and use the voice/power they had. Women have always been shunned and judged for their power and feared because of it. But instead of others trying to understand it and see any benefit, they killed the witches and disregarded the oracles and priestesses. As such, we turned this around and have taken advantage of this and solace in the fact that our real work is done behind the scenes (Hanged Man and Magician card)! It is not our job to cast judgment or ill wishes – though my shadow side has a few things to say…

Where others have highlighted the woman’s role in creation, others have limited it. Societies and countries like America have since only seen gender as a matter of roles than as one of law. I feel that this message is one to say not to be hampered. Be mad, yes, but not defeated or disheartened. For some of you, this has been your call to step up and lead. For some of you, this was your activation and another step in your initiation. This was your call to action to use your voice. Not just for this, but for other injustices as well. Claim your role and step into your identity. You are changemakers – bring the thunder and the storm! I’m also hearing the word ‘Independence’…

Women all over are being asked to remember who they are. We are all descendants from other strong women and our ancestors are guiding us through this. Even those we don’t know! They are also reminding us that anything done with malicious intent does not go unseen. We are being asked to reconnect with our role with nature. We are not the Earth Mother herself, but we are Mothers of the Earth and nature’s children. We are not to be confined or comfortable with the roles and labels put on/expected of us other than the ones we have for ourselves. We are meant to dance and run with wolves and be as wild as the wind.

This confinement and generalization (and gender-ization) has caused a collective soul loss for the divine feminine and the feminine traits that exist in both women and men. We have lost our connection based on the recognition of gender only as roles and not law, as I touched on before. This is where the supporting men come in. Those who have regained that awareness and are respecting the woman for much more than being the barefoot pregnant wife. Those who realize there is no world or creation without the woman and feminine aspects. Those who want the woman next to them and not behind them.

Things are changing though. Even though it seems to be going backward, like the storm implied, sometimes things get a little harder before they become easier. No matter what, we have to be strong just like Gaia. My channeled notes said, “Just as the Earth Mother stands up for and heals herself, all women have the same power, ability, and responsibility”. We don’t lose hope when we can call on strength (Star card) and we must remember that love always prevails (Knight of Cups). I'll repost the picture here:

As I look, all of the tarot cards I pulled have a link to nature and being outside. The Star also speaks to the message about (re)connecting with nature. We heal her as she heals us. The Knight of Cups is also giving me vibes about offerings. She isn’t asking for much – just that it's from the heart. Your offering can be picking up litter from the beach! The Hanged One (notice it’s not The Hanged Man) says hug a few trees. I just had a vision about the tree from Pocahontas…speak to nature and let it speak back! Ask a question by the water and watch the wind respond and the sun feel hotter… work with herbs and other elements like the Magician you are – make your potions, oils, and candles. I’m also hearing ‘as above, so below’ and a message I can’t put together about rainwater and plants or planting…and my head is turning to the Gatherer card… sorry – I’m trying to type as fast as I hear it coming! So, to improvise, gather those seeds and let the plants guide you! She looks pregnant in that card, and I feel that this speaks to abundance. The hummingbird here looks like its speaking to her or attracted to her ‘nectar’. I’m now hearing the words resources, resourceful, and give and take. There is also something here for those who are considering a fruit and vegetable only diet…

I am now being asked to share the message from the book of the Wild Winds card. I’ve already typed an essay, so I’ll take a picture LOL!

Now I feel like singing the song from Pocahontas about the colors of the wind! I love that song 😊

Any who… it is time to come together as the earth’s children and recognize that our only battle is with evil, not with each other. Things have been so divisive that we get lost in the competition and forget to embrace the spirit of oneness. We are all individual and unique, but we all share the same Mother! Let’s not get so caught up and distracted with hate and judgment that we forget the real issues and importance of bonding with nature – the one who provides for us and heals us naturally. Let the Universe handle the rest while we focus our intention and reconnect. No need to fret when we can manifest! Even without our will, we must trust that when balance is thrown out of whack, unseen forces work to restore it. That’s victory!

I'm going to put the cards back and get a final message:

We got the Gatherer card again, Soul Care, and the 6 of Cups.

When I look at Soul Care, I’m being drawn to what looks like flowers around the body and flames at the lower chakra/reproductive area! I’m hearing that no matter how much they try, you can’t write out the feminine or take away its power. I was being shown a face and even Jesus on a cross and how it is in the form of the ovaries/uterus/vagina…I was going to try to draw it, but think of the face, the eyes being the ovaries (and Jesus’s hands being spread out on the cross), the nose as the uterus/cervix (Jesus’s body), and the lips are just a vagina turned sideways (notice Jesus’s legs were pinned together and not apart like his arms!) I’m not Christian – but I understand the message LOL. Thank you, Jesus! The six of cups is giving reconnection but also Mother-Daughter vibes. Also, let’s do our best for this planet for the generations coming next…Since we got the Gatherer card twice, I’ll take a picture of message from the book. Do you like this new deck?

This was truly some confirmation!

It is my intention that this message inspired and spoke to all who found it and took the time to read and gather the messages that were given to me through the storm! I don’t do gender specific messages, but in light of what happened, this really seemed to speak to women all over (and supporting men).
