“…that most precious gift of your Earthly Mother is the grass beneath your feet, even that grass which you tread upon without thought. Humble and meek is this messenger of Earth, for she has no wings to fly, nor golden rays of light to pierce the mist. But great is her strength and vast is her domain, for she covers the earth with her power…” Gospel of Peace Book 4

To receive messages from plants you must listen with your body, mind and spirit. The humble grass you walk on can help you relax and renew your energy. Trees will invite you to take comfort in their shade on a hot summer day or offer you protection from the rain or wind on a stormy afternoon. The beauty and aroma of flowers can bring you pleasant feelings and help draw your thoughts away from the day’s stress. Many plants and herbs have healing powers to share with you. The more you learn about them, the healthier your life can be.

The Goddess speaks to us through the natural world. Sometimes it is through the elements and other times it is through the plants and animals around us. To understand the messages that animals bring us, it helps to know a little about the messenger. Learning about the animal you encounter will make it easier to pick up on their message.
