Mother’s Message to the World

November 18, 2015

Oh, my children, my beloveds, know that you are living in times of great shifting. Know that a New World is being born of a much higher set of frequencies at this time. The energies are rolling into me and across me to manifest this more and more.

It is time for you to heal your darkest emotional patterns, and your wounded inner child. It is time for you to come to love yourself in ways that you might never have thought possible. The deeper the love you have for yourself, and self-forgiveness, the greater calm joy you will be bringing forth in your life.

As you raise up this calm joy from a place of stillness and acceptance, the more you will be a beacon of healing energy for others around you. This is so needed in these times. More healers and less reactionaries.

Know that your semblance of being in control is only an illusion. Your little stories in your beautiful minds of how you would like your reality to be, or another to act, or circumstances to be different are your fiction. These are not serving you nor I nor others around you when you become so attached to them.

There are so many forces at place in all of your situations. There is a dance of physical and spiritual influences behind all actions and reactions. For instance, if a good friend is dying, how does it serve for you to become angry when Spirit, along with that person’s higher self, has made the decision to take that soul back home? This person’s death is not about you and your needs. It is about his or her spiritual journey woven within a vastly complex web of wisdom that only those on the astral planes truly understand.

Be at peace with these things, my children. Be at peace with all the great tragedies splattered across the world. Yes, there are great wrongs playing out but to react to them with more chaos within yourself does not serve. As best as you can, cultivate your inner peace and calm and know that great forces are at play here. Some of these forces would love to pull you into the drama and have you spin in your emotions. Resist them.

This is not to say that you should not seek a higher justice in these dramas. Just that it is important for you to come from a place of peace within yourself in doing this. I love my activists, my good-hearted police-persons and more, when they come from a place of peace within themselves, especially.

Know how much I love you. Know how much your ancestors love you and your spiritual guardians and Creation love you. Breathe this love in. Drink this love in. Feel the love of the trees and waters around you. Or the dry land of the arid region. These are all infused with so much love from myself and Creation. Give your sorrow, your frustrations, your pain to me. I can take it all and transmute it. I am here for you. Please come back to the remembering of the sacredness and Love.

Yes, these are somewhat intense times. Dance to release your frustrations, your fears. Hug each other. And hug again and again. Hold space around those in pain and let them feel your love. You can remind them of my love.

Pray, Pray. Prayer is so beautiful. It ripples across me in ways that tickle me greatly, especially when the prayers are for the highest good of all. Pray for peace in the world and within yourselves.

But more than anything, know that you are not in control. It is useless to think you are. Seek to do the highest good and come to peace, peace, peace, peace. That is how you can help yourself, your family and all of us, including me. Come to peace. And compassion.

Compassion. It is a good word. It is a good feeling to invoke. May all of you come to know compassion on its deepest, deepest levels. It only gets more and more beautiful when you do.

Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.

I love you all so, so, so, so much!

 

Whales – Falling into the Earth, Music Video, Wisdom

This is such a beautiful video for a musical piece. I work with the whales spiritually, journey with them. They have been teaching me how to sing with them in the ocean. Such beautiful, beautiful beloved, highly intelligent and spiritually evolved beings here, who serve Earth Mother.

There is such truth in this video since the whales do know what is going on all over the world spiritually. They are far more aware than most realize. They don’t need to be flying over the cities and desert. They already know without having to physically leave the ocean.

Such magnificent creatures, fellow beings here on Earth. And they are calling us to remember the sacredness. And to offer Love and Light to the waters we use … all waters of the planet. From our drinking glass, to when we wash the dishes, flush the toilet – even, to our local streams and waterways. Please send all this water Love and Light. It makes a huge difference. You can check out Masaru Emoto’s work to learn more.

hugs, bigLove to all,

~~~

This is a story that has been kept confidential (except for a few very close friends) for over a year now. But it’s time for me to share it, plus more. Mother is asking me to share this now.

In the winter of 2014 while I was in the “cave” writing The Great Mother Bible, something odd happened one night. I believe it was in February that winter, after I had been hunkered in with the wood stove and Mother listening and writing (and hanging out on Facebook a bit too much) for more than a month.

Late one night a strange stench came into the house where I was renting. It was similar to a skunk smell but different, and I found it rather offensive. It was not anything I had smelled before and was suspect in my mind. A gifted intuitive friend of mine who I was chatting on FB with tuned in and could discern that it was something spiritual and we both agreed that it needed to be cleared. I felt it was something in the spiritual realms too but needed the confirmation from someone else to try to suss it out as best as I could.

So late that night I lit up my smudge bowl and stomped around the house and did all that I had been taught to ‘claim the space’ for the highest good. Yet the smell still lingered in my bedroom all night, not as strongly but still there.

The next day I contact a gifted Native elder friend about this smell. He immediately started chuckling and told me that Sasquatch had come in to support me. This was a bit of an honor according to him since Sasquatch or Bigfoot beings are considered guardians of Earth Mother. And if someone is working very closely with Earth Mother then they will come forward in various ways as guardians too.

He shared that with me and then proceeded to tell me a story about some Sasquatch approaching him somewhere out west. I honestly don’t remember all the details of that story in this moment. It was a fun rambling of how they came to visit him at some trailer park or something along those lines. Mind you, this is a medicine man who told me when I planned to visit him two years ago that “there will be adventures”. He lives an ongoing set of adventures that will leave your jaw dropping to the ground again and again, in a fun, good way. And Earth Mother loves him for all he does for her.

I have been keeping this story quiet since it’s on the more extreme end of whoo-woo-ish for someone to say that Sasquatch came to visit one night, much less in the Mid-Atlantic region so close to DC and Baltimore. Sasquatch is not known to be in these parts, for those who believe.

Plus there is this lingering angst I’ve had way too long about people (ie, family members and older friends) thinking I have two or three heads in this less spiritually open part of the country. I’ve been diligently working on squelching this angst for some time. The good news is that I’m getting better. Finding more courage to tell these stories.

So … last night I get home after a long day away from my space and discover an email from a friend with a link to 50 messages from some Sasquatch in western Canada on a website called http://sasquatchpeople.com which belongs to the Sasquatch expert and author, Kewaunee Lapseritis. I was too tired to open up my computer and just lay on my bed reading and scrolling on the smartphone. And scrolling and scrolling. It’s very long set of messages that the Sasquatch have shared with a gifted “listener/mystic/medicine man” named SunBow TrueBrother of British Columbia.

I was fascinated and yet could not read the whole collection of messages in depth last night. I will be printing them off and studying them shortly. They corroborate much of what Mother has shared with me but taken it far deeper.

The Sasquatch are quite mischaracterized and misunderstood. They are highly evolved, very intelligent telepathic beings who seek to work with humans the way they used to in earlier times, before ‘modern’ civilization. They consider themselves the Elder Brothers and we are the Younger Brothers. Rather similar to the Kogi people in far remote Columbia who use the same terms, actually.

These messages are powerful and needed to be shared far and wide. We need the Sasquatch here on the planet to continue to do important spiritual work for Earth Mother that we are supposed to be doing with them. Mother loves them dearly and I’m starting to appreciate them more after reading this. They are sensitive, significant beings and are quite aware of how they are ridiculed in our media and it offends them.

One part of the messages from them that was repeated several times was for us to reconnect with the Soul of Earth Mother. And this is exactly the writing that I put out with Mother’s messages of wisdom and compassion … an invitation to reconnect with her Soul. I love the way this is worded in the Sasquatch messages.

I suspect that the Sasquatch found me rather humorous in my attempts to clear that one out of the house back in the winter of 2014. I can’t say whether they have continued to linger around me since that evening. Perhaps they have. It’s hard for me to say since I’m not that gifted in discerning exactly who and what is around me all the time in the spiritual realms. I would like to have the capacity to do solid ID check when it comes to these spiritual beings, but that is easier said than done. Maybe someday I can do that but am not there yet, at all.

Please feel free to share these messages widely. They need to go far and wide. Mother loves these Sasquatch friends so much and they are doing critical work for planet, along with the dolphins, whales, nature spirits and others. We need all of them for this New World to be birthed as beautifully and gracefully as possible.

hugs, bigLove to all (especially the greatly misunderstood Bigfoot friends),

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.

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.

A Talk with Writer/Mystic Mare Cromwell – Frederick News-Post, March 26, 2015

[originally published in the Frederick News-Post, Frederick, Maryland, March 26, 1015. http://bit.ly/1zv8qo3]

In Messages From Mother … Earth Mother, self-described mystic Mare Cromwell communicated directly with Mother Earth and wrote the book as part of her spiritual work. Because she was too uncomfortable to be upfront about her communication with the spirit world — sometimes referred to as channeling, though she prefers the term downloading — the book tells the story of Sarah who meets Earth Mother. Third person just seemed easier at the time.

But for her most recent book, Cromwell essentially transcribed the dialogue between her and Earth Mother and sent it off to be published. The Great Mother Bible: or, I’d Rather Be Gardening will be released by Pamoon Press on April 22 (Earth Day), and although Cromwell thinks some people in the area will be open to it, she’s still a little nervous.

“Writing these books has been terrifying,” she admitted. “That’s why the subtitle is I’d Rather Be Gardening.”

COMMUNICATING WITH SPIRIT

Over a cup of tea at Dublin Roasters, where she will host a book release talk on Sunday, Cromwell told how she left her job directing an international environmental education network to become a gardener for 17 years. She has a soft voice and soothing demeanor, eyes that are kind but not naive. Her golden hair fell over a thick winter sweater as she told about those quiet years spent gardening, how it made her better at listening. She said that time provided the space for her to begin to wake up to her sensitivity and her compassion for the Earth. As she was cultivating gardens for well-to-do landowners, she was simultaneously cultivating a relationship with the the Earth and the feminine nature of the plant world. It was also during that time that she began communicating with the plants, she said.

Years later in 2012, after studying with Native American elders and shamans of various tribes, Cromwell began her communication with Mother Earth. “I knew who it was,” she said, but admitted she “needed the affirmation,” which she received, from the Native Americans she was studying under.

“For some reason, I’ve been chosen to share this,” she said about her experiences writing The Great Mother Bible. “It’s been a trip.”

You begin to notice a common theme when talking with Cromwell — that she is often not the one choosing what to say or do, but that she is listening and responding.

You also get the sense that she is always in communion, to some extent, with the natural world, and that Earth Mother, who at one point she called Mom, is like a dear friend to her. At moments during the interview, she’d pause, take a few moments to reframe a response or deciding she needed to stop from elaborating. It’s clear she did not stop communicating with Earth Mother after the book was published. When asked if she still communicated on a regular basis, Cromwell said yes, although instead of spending hours a day transcribing the dialogue for a book, Cromwell is mostly listening for marketing suggestions now — types of events to hold and where and when, and just as importantly, where not to go and what not to do. “What doesn’t change is my rapport with her.” While writing The Great Mother Bible throughout 2014, Cromwell also “did ceremony every day … offering prayers,” she said.

COMPILING THE BOOK

Now based in Buckeystown, she was living in New Market at the time of writing The Great Mother Bible. The writing started during the record-breaking cold months last winter, when she

began to get awakened up at 5 and 6 in the morning. She’s being awakened up by Earth Mother, she writes, who has a message she wants to get out in book form. Many times while still lying in bed, under the covers, she’d type on her laptop the conversation she was having.

The Great Mother Bible reads much like Neale Donald Walsch’s Conversations with God series, with thoughtful exchanges between human and spirit. In Cromwell’s Indiegogo campaign, where she is raising money to fund publishing costs, she says, “Essentially that book (Conversations with God) is the Great Father Bible.” She said she read the first book in Walsch’s series, but The Great Mother Bible is different in the sense that it aims to bring the Earth back into balance by focusing on the sacred feminine, rather than the masculine energies that have dominated our society for a long time. In her book, she points out that while there are many spiritual people spreading love in the form of prayers and meditation and through their actions, few people direct their prayers and love into the Earth itself.

“The main message of the book is there is such huge, powerful love Mother has for us. … A lot of people feel spiritually lost because they don’t know what it’s like to feel at home. We need to come home.”

In the book, Earth Mother is very clear that humans once loved and thanked her every day, but this has been lost in our culture for the most part, and she needs that loving energy to be healthy, much like we do.
