If everyone… everyone on this planet felt truly loved, truly loved, and all of their essential human needs were met, as in shelter, food, and sufficient clothing, and the power/greed/unbalanced ego system folded, what an amazing world this would be. The violence would disappear in short order.

This is my vision … This is Earth Mother’s plan … to help all know that they are loved. Even if they feel unloved by their partners, their families, their co-workers, that they come to know they are deeply connected with the Divine, and truly experience that Love. Each and every day. It is possible. It is very possible. We will get to that point. It’s just a bit bumpy right now.

Too many people don’t love themselves enough thanks to our cultural conditioning and centuries of a system that promotes competition, fear and not compassion.

The world is shifting… The Compassion, the Sacred Feminine is emerging more and more.

What will you do today? Will you find the path of forgiveness and compassion? Or will you promote more fear and separation?

The Great Divine Mother and Divine Father, Earth Mother and other beautiful spiritual beings await you… with more Love than you can ever imagine. Ever imagine.

So much love, to all of you, all of you…

My children, my beloved children, go gently into this holiday season. Be gentle with yourself.

You are all my children, even your family members.

Remember all any of you are seeking is love and acceptance. Compassion. That includes your family members too.

I am always here for you.

Always.

I love you all so, so, so much. So much more than you can ever truly know. Now go off and be gentle.

Email – Earth Mother Sounds Like the Virgin Mary

So, I just sent out that recent message from Mother on 11/18, and received this email yesterday:

Do you subscribe to the messages given by the Holy Mother at Medjugorje?
Your message here is so similar to the ones the young lady receives there.
Really speaks to the universal truth in the messages.

Blessings,
K.

This was my response to K – sharing here. Mother wants me to share this more broadly.

Hi K,

I am talking with the Mother also… Via Earth Mother.

That is why the messages are so similar, however Earth Mother is calling her children back home to loving the Earth too. A message that is slightly different, and very important in these interesting times.

Your email does touch me deeply. I have been to Medjugorje with my very Catholic father and others. Many years ago, in the early 90’s.

The Mother is so powerful, so beautiful and has so much love for all of us. All of us. Yet the Judeo-Christian beliefs have largely encouraged us to treat our planet like a rock with resources on it for us to consume. Sigh… This has not helped.

Hugs, bigLove to you, K,

Mare

Five Star – New Age Books Review – “I love the wisdom and the message of love within this book!”

The Great Mother Bible receives a Five Star Review from New Age Books Review!

NAB Review of The Great Mother Bible: or I’d rather be gardening….

by Mare Cromwell

“A Mother’s Love”

Having studied for around 14 years with a Cherokee teacher and then many Native American medicine people as well as being an ardent environmentalist and a professional gardener, Mare has a gift to channel and communicate with Great Mother and is called on to share this wisdom in The Great Mother Bible. Mare explains that Great Mother is the Sacred Feminine aspect of the Divine Creator and that Earth Mother is also an embodiment of the Sacred Feminine here on Earth as our planetary caretaker and is a distinctly different spiritual consciousness. Great Mother and Earth Mother explain both have been ignored far too long and now is the time for balance and harmony. After being diagnosed with lymphoma in 2012, Mare had been on a journey to heal herself through alternative medicine. “Surrender, listen, and show up”, had become her credo with Earth Mother being her guide. Mare refers to her as Mother.

Mother asks Mare to write The Great Mother Bible because she says it is time to have another book that offers spiritual wisdom and guidance from a more maternal lens on spirituality. Mother explains that society and religions all over the world have been influenced and dominated by the patriarchal energies that stem from alien beings that visited Earth long ago. This has created a great need for balance and healing with Great Mother that everyone should recognize and embrace. Mother also shares her wisdom about the Christ Consciousness and how much love exists within this realm of spiritual energy for all of us to tap into. Another main tenet that Great Mother conveys, is that she is also the embodiment of Earth and nature. Therefore, by loving and respecting the earth and all of nature, we are strengthening our spiritual bond and love with her. Great healing can be achieved on all levels for ourselves and for Earth Mother in this way.

I love the wisdom and the message of love within this book! That being said, I also know that some people will find some aspects of it challenging to accept and resonate with while others will find the calm and love that their spirit is longing for. Either way, I know that Great Mother and Earth Mother are very loving and powerful and they have been neglected from modern society and we should all incorporate them back into our daily lives and worship. The Great Mother Bible is the perfect book to awaken and remind us all of how to do just that.

Message from Mother: Still Your Minds, Find Your Hearts and Connect with Mother – For Global Oneness Day (Oct 24, 2015) & Beyond

Tomorrow, Oct 24, 2015) is Global Oneness Day. Well-known and beautiful luminaries will be leading a day long event calling on all to pray/meditate and link in energetically to bring forth a better planet focusing on the Oneness that connects all of us.

In light of this day, Mother has asked me to put out another message from her. She loves that this Day is being organized and has a request or two. See below.

Message from Mother, Earth Mother, October 23rd, 2015

Please Still Your Minds, Find Your Hearts and Connect with my Earth Heart

Oh, my children, do you know how much I love you. I love you so, so much, in such a beautiful divine way. Your languages don’t have the words for the immensity and joy in the Quantum Divine Love I have for you.

Please, my children, know that you chose to be here on me, Earth Mother, at this time. Know that these are powerful times of great shifting. There are energies coming in to me and affecting each and every one of you. And this is a good thing. It is needed for the birthing of the New World that I will be, that all of us will be.

I want each and every one of you to help me in this birthing. I need you just as I need the sun for my plant babies to grow, and the dynamics of gravity for water to fall and run to the ocean. Creation and I, as your Planetary Caretaker, have coordinated the evolution of so much beauty and life on this planet.

In this time of such rapid change, I need you all to do your work. I mean, do your emotional and spiritual work. Learn how to still your minds and discern between the fact and fiction in the story-telling of your mind. Come down in your heart. Don’t let your shadow self, or ego, or control issues take over. Don’t lash out at others unconsciously. Heal your inner wounded child. Let the Christ Consciousness into your hearts and spirit bodies and feel the Love. Know this Quantum Divine Love is there for all of you. Such huge, huge amazing Love.

Then drop your energy down even lower and connect energetically with me. Drop your heart energy down to my heart in the very center of my being: the very center of Earth.

I need you to connect with me with your spiritual work, just as much as Creator/God/Allah/Great Mystery/Great Divine Mother/source needs you to connect with her/him/it.

I love you all so much. You are my beloved children. You can all learn how to be midwives for this New World coming in now. I need you to help me, to help all the beautiful spiritual beings who are supporting this shifting too.

When you do your meditation circles, send love down to my heart. When you do your global prayers and meditation, send love down to me too. Please ground these prayers, these meditations. I need the spiritual energy too. My waters need the prayer energy, along with my winds, my tree people, my stone people, finned ones, and more. The whole web of life, all my beloved beings, need this spiritual energy.

And if you ask them, they will join you too. Ask the trees (standing ones), stone people, and waters, all the beautiful beings in your community to join you in the prayer and meditation. They are very conscious ones, and would love to be invited. They yearn to be recognized again as part of the fabric of beautiful consciousness on me, your Earth Mother.

You are all being called to be the midwives, the Spiritual Warriors, supporting this huge birthing process. Tap into me and I will help you find the courage and energy to do this.

I love you all – beyond words!

Earth Mother/Gaia

Note: I scheduled a Sacred Gardening workshop tomorrow and have several attendees coming. My work with Earth Mother (and the Great Divine Mother, and Virgin Mary) includes partnering with the Nature Spirits. I’ve already put a call out to them to connect with the Global Oneness Day. And asked some very gifted elders and others on other continents to connect in with their local Nature Spirits to join in, for this Oneness event. They (both the humans and Nature Spirits) have already put the word out globally and are keen to participate.

Great Mother Love Retreat – Deepening Our Connection with the Great Mother to Midwife the New World

I have gotten a huge nudge from Mother to lead a long weekend retreat in the early part of March, 2016, called: The Great Mother Love Retreat- Deepening Our Connection with the Great Mother to Midwife the New World. (This was to be held at the end of October, 2015, but I have postponed it for a variety of reasons.)

This retreat will be a healing journey into embracing the Great Divine Mother, the Virgin Mary, Earth Mother and the Mother/Sacred Feminine from other traditions. We will visit the Sacred Grotto to the Virgin Mary in Emmitsburg, MD, do ceremony, share, dance and more. I feel very deeply that all who will be called to be a part of this retreat will find themselves shifted and more connected with the great healing compassion and Love of the Great Mother, to support their lives in these interesting times. Come join us if you feel called.

Stay tuned for more details and registration information as I post it.

Great Mother Bible – Book Review, by Alice Zhou, Vancouver, Canada

I was thrilled and honored to receive this book review of The Great Mother Bible in late July, from Alice Zhou whom I met last year in Vancouver, Canada. Thank you, Alice! And especially thank you for organizing an event for me in Vancouver in early August this summer.
The Great Mother Bible

I met author and speaker Mare Cromwell last year through a mutual friend. She’s an American woman who transmits messages from Mother Earth in witty dialogue form.  She excitedly shared with me that she has almost finished writing her new book, The Great Mother Bible, and it’s going to kick down some major doors.  I saw hope in her eyes and strong faith in her face.  She sent me a copy of the book a while back and I have finally read it – in one night because I couldn’t put it down.  Here are the juiciest bits:

“Earth is one of the most beautiful planets in this multiverse.  As Earth Mother, I come from a family of spiritual beings across the universe who do things such as Planetary Caretaking, or other large jobs.  We are very, very ancient spiritual consciousnesses.  We have been around in the universe for many, many billions of years.  When this solar system was first forming, a council was held, including some of us qualified to do Planetary Caretaker work, and it was decided that I would be the Caretaker for this planet.  It was rather an honour to be given this responsibility since it had also been decided by some larger councils that this particular planet would be one of extraordinary beauty and spiritual energy.  You see, Earth is considered one of the most beautiful planets in the Universe.”

Each person also signed a soul contract before they reincarnated into this lifetime, but they also have free will.  Many of our current behaviour could be residue of the trauma experienced in our previous life times.  Our fear to speak, of intimacy, authority, etc.  The universe is the greatest recycler of all, as all are connected.  As many original people believe around the world, the mineral, animals, weather and elements are all connected on earth.  Of all forces on earth, nothing exists in isolation.  There are energy webs that link all weathers and living beings together.  This web of life is spiritual, sacred, physical – emotional even! All waste from one being is food for another.  Even your soul is cycled again through reincarnation.  So when indigenous people say “All my relations”, they’re talking about a beautiful dance of Sacred Love that connects all people with all the other beautiful sacred beings here in a way that honours and bows to humanity, to all of it, to all the Great Mystery of it.

First is the understanding that there is enough for everyone if you all truly knew how to live in community, if you prioritized the community’s needs over your own individualistic needs.  The second is greater compassion.  The third is how everything is infused with sacred energy.
Aliens definitely exist and have been visiting Earth before humans evolved to our current state.

Money is just energy.  Some of you know that and have been working on prayer; manifesting abundance; holding good intentions, and all sorts of other positive ways to move energy for a variety of purposes.  The movie and book “The Secret” had some truth in it, but it was missing a big piece, which is COMMUNITY.  So many of these humans took the spiritual principles of prayer, intentions and manifestation, and have focused on accumulating more stuff.  Many have been successful at accumulating more stuff.  Certainly some have been using those principles of prayer and manifesting to serve the higher good.  But not all by any means.  And there we are again, a few with too much stuff and many with not enough stuff.  Energy is supposed to move.  Energy is not supposed to sit in bank accounts and get bigger.  It’s supposed to move like a river.  It’s never supposed to be held trapped. (By the way, rivers that have been dammed are very unhappy rivers and yearn to run free again too).

I love all my dragons and they actually did exist here on me physically.  The last one vibrated out into a higher dimension a number of centuries ago. You all would call it going extinct but when a species disappears from here in the physical, they don’t disappear from the universe.  They still exist in another dimension, and when the time is right, they will return here into the physical.  So the dragons were relegated to the realms of fairy tales along with the fairies, themselves.  All of my spiritual beings, the thunder beings, elementals in charge of the weather, and countless entities beyond that were relegated to children’s stories.  Yet, the truth is that all of these actually exist here.  But because of how the past several thousand years have played out, with most two-legged dishonouring me and all the spiritual beings who are part of me, my beloved, beloved nature spirits have been forced to pull back into various wild corners of me that have remained protected.  They are waiting for the New World that is coming in so they can return to their former home territories to help heal all the wounded corners on me.  That is part of the work they do with me; they weave the energies of a place back together to promote more seedlings; more soil buildup, more love into the land.  People feel better after hiking in the forest; yet attribute it to the fresh air, unaware of the beautiful energies of the nature spirits.

The nature spirits have a psychic hotline that travels the planet very quickly.  It makes your Internet look antiquated.  Most of these beings are as ancient as I am.  I have worked very closely with all of them to help move evolution along, the manifestation of evolution fueled by the Quantum Divine Love of Creation and myself.  It’s always been a co-creative effort.  Not hierarchical at all.  There used to be villages all over the world with medicine people, some might call them shamans.  They worked hard to keep things in balance on me.  The weather nature spirits are mighty angry about the lack of respect humans have shown to the natural world, as they have their own emotions, so they’re whipping up typhoon and hurricane.  There is not much I can do to control their anger, as I’m only a member of the council.
There is another piece to this, too.  Your emotions, your collective human emotions of anger, frustration, judgmental thinking, unbalanced egos, jealousy and other more base ways of thinking influence the weather (and earthquakes).  Everything is connected spiritually and energetically as I’ve been sharing.  If so many of you continue to live your lives spinning in your shadow self, it will encourage worse storms and droughts.  There is a significant resonance to your emotions that the elementals pick up on, and the dance takes off from there.  It’s all energy and all so connected.  And each of you has a choice in the dance.  All day long you have the choices.

If you want to help appease these elementals and other nature spirits, do all you can to come back into balance on me.  Living from the philosophy of All My Relations also honours the nature spirits.  Learn how to connect with me spiritually.  Focus on your spiritual life and offer more kindness, forgiveness, and compassion and cultivate your inner peace.  Live far more simply and in community, taking into consideration the next seven generations in your actions.  Rediscover the sacredness of who you are and who I am as your Planetary Caretaker.  In doing those things you can raise your vibrations, enhance your personal song.  Come together and drum.  Did you know the drum is my heartbeat?

July 13, 2015 – Message from Mother – Love your Wounded Inner Child

[Whoa… am working very closely with Mother these days…. it’s amazing and daunting, and really good… This just came in this morning.]
A note to all from Mother:

My beloveds… I love you all so, so much. Know that these are the times of Great Change and the energies are accelerating. These are the times to go deeper and deeper and do your inner work, your wounded inner child work. With love. With compassion… with kindness toward yourself. With beautiful, beautiful kindness toward yourself. I love you so, so much… I send you kindness too, and so much more Quantum Divine Love, more than you could ever fathom. Creation sends you Quantum Divine Love… Please open yourselves up to this… it will help you greatly.

Be careful of your time on social media. There are such powerful collective energies circulating here that will pull you into a spin and not be helpful. My sensitives know what I’m talking about here. Every word, every emotion expressed here on FB or Twitter has a resonance that touches each of you, in subtle and powerful ways that is not overly helpful in my view … as so many of you are sending out anger, frustration, even hatred here. Or Twitter … Or you humans are sending this out in your life in general.

Be kind to yourselves… and look at what is being triggered within you. These are the times of healing the wounded inner child within… gently, compassionately… and deeply. These are the times of the Spiritual Warriors doing this work, and all of you have the capacity to be a Spiritual Warrior. All of you… whether you realize it or not. I love all of you so much.

Pray. Meditate. Go stand outside barefoot and give me, Mother, your tension, your sorrow, your anger, your frustration. Drop them down into the center of the Earth. I can compost all of that and more. Believe me, I can. Please don’t direct it out at others. Or share it so willy-nilly via your keyboard on social media. It only amps the global emotional spin up and sends others reeling.

I love you all… These are beautiful times. Amazing times… A New World is being born now, and it will be so glorious. And all of you can help birth it… all of you. Release the thorns from your hearts… gently… with kindness. And if you need a lot of chocolate to support you, go for it. Or hugs. Or a sister or brother friend… to listen to you. Seek them out. This is not the time to be alone all the time and just stew in your fears. Yes, being alone at times is good. And needed. But you all need each other these days… in community, in support of each other, on so many levels. In beautiful, beautiful ways… you can weave your energies together to serve the highest good. These are the times…

I will share more later…

I love you… more than you can ever know. So much more… So, so much love… !

A Message from the Water Spirits in The Netherlands

This is a very specific message from the Water Spirits in the Netherlands. And it applies to all of us around the world.

I had arrived in The Netherlands on Saturday, June 13th, 2015, to lead several workshops (on The Great Mother Bible and Earth Mother’s Appeal to her Daughters) and to participate in the Wisdom Gathering in Dalfsen.

My beautiful friend, Daan, who has been my event coordinator and host for this trip lives in Lelystad, a young village whose land has been claimed from the water only within the past thirty years. When I arrived in Lelystad and her husband Ton shared how their village was so young, I thought it was interesting but did not think that much of it. Though there was an off energy to the land there, kind of a subtle disharmony to the area but that could be for many reasons, so I mostly disregarded it.

Lelystad_sluice
Image from Wikipedia

Later in the evening we went for a walk in her neighborhood which has some lovely walking trails in a young forest and over some narrow waterways. I love how the Dutch are committed to setting aside natural areas very close to their villages for the sole purpose of walking and bicycling, allowing people to find some forest and openness for exercise and to relax in, so close to their village.

As is my practice whenever I arrive in a new place, I offered a blessing with tobacco and prayer to the nature spirits in Daan’s village and surrounding parts. First I did it in her tiny postage stamp front yard. And then when we got into the forest, I did it there also. But I felt very little sense of a nature spirit community in both places. Many times when I do this, there is an immediate response from the nature spirits where I am and they send a ripple of energy through me, or I receive some communication from them. It’s a lovely experience when they do this. But there in Lelystad on the land, there was only the slight sense of some nature spirit activity in the forest, and really none in her immediate neighborhood.

Then we left the forest and came to a short bridge and I felt called to do a blessing there with a quick prayer and some tobacco again. I love doing water ceremony and know how healing the prayer energy can be and how quickly the energy travels through the water. As it is all the water throughout the planet is connected anyway and I love the idea of the prayer energy resonating far and wide.

When I leaned over the bridge and dropped the tobacco down onto the slow moving waters below, I sent my love too. This is something I’ve been taught to do since I know Earth Mother and all the nature spirits sorely need our love sent back to them. They’ve been ignored for so long that this means much to them.

Instantaneously I felt a strong wash of love come back to me from the water. This surprised me and I asked my friend if she felt the same as I did. But she did not. We resumed our walking and conversation about the upcoming Wisdom Gathering and related projects. I quietly mulled over the wash of love I received as we walked further.

That night after falling asleep, I was woken up by an intense, complex dream with a pervading message about stepping into my real work, my true work. I don’t even remember the details of the dream now other than I was shaken deeply by it.

The dream was so intense that I could not sleep afterwards. I lay there in bed contemplating the dream and taking in the energy of the room I was staying in and how it was not my room but a guestroom in another country in an area that was recently some forty or fifty feet under water. I yearned for the comfort of my own bed.

Then, in a similar manner to how Earth Mother speaks with me, I started to receive a very distinct spiritual message. Yet it was not from Mother, it was from some overarching Water Spirits. They told me who they were and asked me to share a message to the Dutch people who are spiritually open enough to receive this message. (Occasionally I do get these types of messages from Nature Spirits or trees, not just from Earth Mother.)

Here is the message:

“We, the Water Spirits of your area are rather upset and have been for years as no one has asked us, or sought out our permission to drain our waters from what you think is your area. No one has come to honor us or to seek out our counsel on what areas to drain over all this time. And we have been relegated to some tiny waterways that are stagnant and too slow moving compared with our waters before.

“Not to mention our fellow water spirits in the North Sea where you have just gone right in and ripped up the sea bottom to collect the soil to fill up the land where we used to live, and how they feel violated.

“We have been ignored and have not been happy about this for a long time. We are sending this message via Mare to ask you to honor us and help others learn about our existence since so many of you are completely ignorant of us.

“Please, we ask that you do Water Ceremony to us (and to the other elements too – the wind, the earth, fire, ethers — as you can) on a regular basis and to teach others how to do this. Please seek to connect with us, the Water Spirits, and not just the water itself.

“We ask this of you to help heal this great pain we carry from being so violated by your earlier settlers and those who completely ignored us and our rights. We ask you to send Love and Light and Gratitude to us as often as you can. This can be every time you drink water, take a shower, even flush a toilet. We need this Love and Light to try to come back into balance. Things have gotten so out of balance. What you do here in Holland with honoring the water will spread throughout the world, energetically.

“Please, please share this message and do ceremony on any level you can. You can send Love and Light and Gratitude to start with. It is that simple. Thank you.”

So, now I’m sharing this with my Dutch friends and pray that they will carry it far and wide. And upon writing this, I’m going to crawl in a bathtub here in this house where I’m a guest, and send as much Love and Light as I can into the waters of the bath… in deep gratitude that I can even listen to the Water Spirits to share this message.

p.s. The Water Spirits want me to also share that if you are reading this and you are not living in Holland, it is still an important and powerful thing to send Love and Light and Gratitude however you can to the waters around you and in your personal life.
