[The first section of this blog is a book written by Gaia Priestess/Mystic (author & healer) Mare Cromwell called Messages from Mother…. Earth Mother, which was released in October, 2012. Several gifted Native American elders have confirmed that Mare is working closely with Earth Mother. Bavado/Rainbow Thunder Heart referred to Mare as the “Voice of Earth Mother”. Woody Vaspra of the World Council of Elders told Mare that her work with Mother Gaia is in the Prophecies (not her name but that someone would surrender to Gaia to the extent that Mare has.)
You can read all of the Messages from that book here or purchase the printed book independently. It is also available as a Kindle ebook and at other internet venues, and can be ordered from any bookstore in the USA, Australia, Great Britain, and other international sites.
The Great Mother Bible came out Spring 2015 and is now also available as an ebook and hard copy on Amazon, and other ebook venues. If you’d like to order a personally autographed copy of any of Mare’s books from her directly, go to her personal website: www.marecromwell.com. Btw, her first book is called: If I gave you Gods’ phone number …. Searching for Spirituality in America – another multi-award-winning book also.]

December 2015 Update from Mare:
In fall of 2013, Mother asked me to write a much larger follow-up book to Messages from Mother…. Earth Mother, called The Great Mother Bible. I spent the bulk of 2014 writing it and the ebook was published in late December, 2014. The hard copy came out on Earth Day (April 22nd), 2015. If you want to read some excerpts, click here. I’ve had a very joyous time listening and writing this book. Am excited about its potential to help people connect with the Great Mother in more sacred ways and plant hope in these interesting times.

Where this information comes from is part of the Great Mystery to me. Messages from Mother…. Earth Mother was written in only five weeks. I was focused on a completely different book and Spirit, rather Mother, broadsided me in late June, 2012, and told me that was the book I was meant to write at that time. I was fighting lymphoma and essentially surrendered to Mother to write it. The cancer went into remission during the same time period.
At times Spirit will just do that.
Then I was broadsided again, by both the Great Divine Mother and Earth Mother, and they told me I was to write The Great Mother Bible during the winter of 2014. I had surrendered and complied.
As I understand it, for most of our human existence many peoples across the planet could listen to Spirit. The plants told them about their medicinal properties. The stones shared their stories of ancient, ancient times and stored memories. The trees spoke of a wisdom that only trees, or standing ones, as the Native peoples say, could know.
When someone learns to listen then Spirit will begin to talk and you can tune in to receive the wisdom. When Spirit starts to communicate with you, it is a humbling experience and you realize that two-leggeds have only a tiny slice of the greater reality of Life.
You could say I’ve learned how to listen to some degree. Essentially I’m a nature mystic.
I’ve spent twenty-one plus years studying with Native American teachers and other rather gifted mentors and listening to the land. For all of those years, I’ve had a professional gardening business based on an approach I call Sacred Gardening. We tended the gardens from a place of reverence and love for the plants and nature spirits.
My background is also in environmental work. I was a National Park Service Ranger in the Grand Canyon and Alaska in my early twenties and later received my Masters in Natural Resources (University of Michigan), which evolved into international environmental work in the 1990s. Then I shifted into leading workshops about environmental sustainability on the corporate level on a part-time basis.
It is truly from the outdoor space of hiking or gardening plus adopting more of a Native American worldview that allowed my listening as a mystic to develop. It’s challenging to learn how to listen in an office setting.
I am not unique. There are so many people waking up and learning how to tune in to the wisdom of the plants, trees and stones. These are hopeful signs in these interesting times.
My first book is called If I gave you God’s phone number…. Searching for Spirituality in America. So it’s easy to conclude that I’m open to the concept of communicating with the spiritual realms, the realms of the mystics.
I believe Spirit has messages for us all if we learn to honor this wisdom from our spiritual guides, and just stop to listen. Sometimes it might even be Earth Mother communicating. Surrendering to their wisdom is one of the wisest paths to take.

I am one of those lucky people, who while living in the nice green wet island in the North Sea called Britain, have manged to read the lovely, thought provoking book, ‘If I gave you God’s phone number…’ To anyone who has the slightest interest in the life spiritual, it is an eye opener and very refreshingly written. Another aspect of the book which I enjoy/ed, is the harlequin mixture of responses, that you wouldn’t arrive at necessarily on your ‘own’ path. It’s a lovely read, and I wish it and its author well. How about another? Bert R. Wells.
Oh, Bert, this very blog that you’ve left this lovely comment on, is going to be a book, very quickly forthcoming. You are very kind… ;~)
blessings, blessings…

Yes, there are also a few boys listening and lingering in your garden. Thank youl for all your listening and sharing. ~)
Oh, Larry… ;~)
Are you hanging out in my garden? The least that you can do is weed it then. It needs some mulching too. And there are some herbs that I’d like to put in also. Can you take care of that for me? ;~p
You’re such a sweetie… thank you for all of your beautiful kindnesses and spirit.
more soon, blessings, blessings,

I have a good supply of Rosemary which I will take cuttings and plant in your garden.
I like to use Rosemary when I bake bread …. especially focachia and pizza. Yum ..yum … ~)
Larry, I love this idea! Yes, please bring rosemary, I have a rosemary plant that you are helping to remind me… needs to come in for the winter. hugs and blessings…

I have doves in my garden. Mother Dove gave birth to three baby doves just as I was leaving for my trip to Rockville this summer. When I returned I found her proudly warming the nest she had built …. a warm home waiting for a birthing.
And, I might add since my garden is filled with rosemary; my doves use a lot of rosemary for their nests.
Now that they are free from the nest and buzzing all around my garden, I have decided to commission Arrow Dove on a mission to bring some rosemary twigs to start a nest for her next brood … to be born in the garden of Mare.
And now we shall have a garden blossoming with Rosemare…~)
Larry,
I love the way that your spirit and mind work together.
“Rosemare.” You are too cute and wonderful.
You know, you probably don’t know about my other blog where I post often. If you go to http://marecromwell.wordpress.com, you might have some fun there. Did a long piece this am on the Lakota Hollow Eagle Bone concept. I post there a lot. (Too much at times… need to do other stuff too. ;~)
hugs, hugs,
