Introduction
In two separate webinars through 2016 and 2017, I invited women to participate in a 12-month course called Spirit and Earth, the Way of the Feminine. Near the end of each gathering, I listened intuitively for a message from Gaia, the Spirit of the Earth. My previous communion with Gaia occurred in solitary meditation, however, during these twenty-four months, I connected with Her spirit within the circle of women, listening and spontaneously speaking what I ‘heard’ in the moment. I realized the Oracle messages were not meant only for these women; they had a life of their own. Honoring this, I transcribed the recordings and lightly edited them into this form.
I trust these writings may strengthen your connection with Gaia and encourage you to receive Her wisdom through your own deep listening. At this critical time in our planetary history, the Soul of the Earth is calling out to us. May we turn our heart’s ear to hear what She is saying…
The Nature of an Oracular Voice:
In November 2024, I asked one of my guides for some insights about what is involved in developing an Oracular Voice. These are Ilyadnah’s comments…
An oracular voice tends to emerge when a culture or civilization is in distress. It rises within the culture, seemingly spontaneously, but in reality, is always present – sometimes more dormant, other times, more intensely activated. It finds more room for freedom of expression through artists, musicians, and some writers, more than politicians, business people and most teachers for corporate systems tend to crucify the oracular voice because it refuses to conform, to obey, to compromise.
Loyalty is a key word re an oracular voice. Loyalty to Life, to Mystery, to Love, Cosmos, Wildness, Eros, Beauty. You are familiar with all these elements. Loyalty implies allegiance — commitment to, and a willingness to responsively attend what is emergent rather than replicate what is familiar and established.
Some people may have truly inspired moments where the oracular voice within them startles with unexpected insights, sometimes affirmed by synchronicity. Synchronicity or body-resonance (you call them Snake Shivers) are the common parlance accompanying the oracular voice. The affirmation can never reliably come from ‘the establishment.’
Therefore courage is another key element shaping and defining the oracular voice – the consistent willingness to step out of comfortable sets of ideas and beliefs to challenge, within oneself first and foremost, the assumptions that have shaped one’s conscious sense of self.
An elasticity of selfhood is critical to the oracular voice, for its potency involves the ability to both particles and waves within a field of energy. There are enormous implications in this, the working nature of the Rainmaker phenomenon in everyday life.
An oracular voice is not just words, as you have tended to identify it. It is a presence, a way of Being, an internal River of Knowing. It ‘speaks’ often more through silence than words, just as love expresses itself in far more silent ways than valentine cards and roses.
An oracular voice is powered and fueled by Love. The moment doubt, fear, shame or anger enter, it is as though that presence pulls back and waits, witnesses, holds space for those elements to be integrated creatively into the larger matrix. This is not suppression but resourceful utilization of raw materials that infrom the rising response and the appropriate nature of the oracular voice.
At this point, Ilyadnah said: Let’s bring this closer to home for a few more personal examples…
You have been recently guided to dance, to sketch, to exercise, to doodle, to review your foods, your relationships, etc. Are all these endeavors meant merely to repair or bolster your fading memory? Hardly! In terms of percentage, these activities and course adjustments are only 10% for what ‘doctors’ would be looking for. 90% is for the fueled and flow of your oracular voice at this critical time. An oracular voice always has particular requirements, according to what the World Soul needs and chooses to flow through your, and others particular makeup. Your ‘recipe’ for wellness is personal to you. Others will rightly require something entirely distinct, according to their inner gold.
This very personal obedience to one’s own oracular voice is what preserves its essential wildness, its core vitality and its connection to what is precisely evolving on Earth. For a truly oracular voice is, in part, a voice of Earth Herself. Women know this more readily than men, for the life-energy in men has been perverted towards power-over rather than power-with Life.
Generally speaking, something often needs to crack or break open in the psyche for the oracular voice to have room for expression, room to reveal itself. The expression ‘out of the mouths of babes’ recognizes truth spoken through innocence, which is all too quickly trained into caged expressions.
Not everyone needs to aspire to overtly cultivate an oracular voice. For most people, it is enough to know their own truth, to trust their hearts, to feel right action in their bones. To know oneself in this deeply embodied way. Not everyone is coded to speak or express beyond this core integrity, but those who are compelled, like you, to vibrate with the imaginal realm in an intimately eros-stimulated way, have very specific tasks and challenges to meet, outside the borders of ‘normal’ society. You must learn, as you have been carefully guided to do, by wise people and your own guides, what the rules and codes of ethics are for this type of commission. It is not always a matter of ‘going against’ the norms, any more than a river would try to flow itself upstream, but paying attention to the subtle opportunities, nudges, intuitive hints, dreams and synchronicities that alter the course without losing the central thread or freezing into immobility.
As you’ve observed the variations in how a river flows, one part slowly while another part of the same water rushes easily, within the body of an oracular voice there are many rhythmic forces alive and active all the time. That is sign of a healthy oracular voice. When it is tired or compromised (a danger you ran into over the past few years) it tends to become didactic, rote, self-repetitive and lacking true vibrancy. It is like an eddy that swirls off and away from the central flow.
An oracular voice needs constant refreshment. Fresh air, both literal and figurative. You are on a road to recovery of your own oracular voice. This is essential for the fulfillment of the commission you undertook in this lifetime. Music will play a role in this eventually but for now, the gradual re-nourishment of your particular oracular voice rightly comes through the daily attentiveness you are starting to give to yourself, rather than all the external busyness (and business) that occupied you in the past. You needed much of that before to help you draw out what you did not know you knew (through consultations, webinars, etc.) but now that corridor or expression is open, the energetic flow of your own oracular voice is increasingly operative within your daily life.
