The Divine Feminine Resurgence: 6,000 Years in the Making

A Tale of Betrayal, Awakening, and Reclamation

Listening to astrologer Pam Gregory talk about this current astrological alignment as not being seen for 6,000 years made me curious.  

Pam talks about how this is very much imitation energy. And a rehearsal for what we are stepping into, with the dreams we are dreaming coming to fruition next April/May, when the big lanets, currently retrograde, move into their long-term positions in the sky. Yay!

People are struggling to throw off their old conditioning, to really come to terms with the core of themselves as they prepare to step into who they are becoming. This is that energy!

For myself, the Feral Faery Bard sums it up! It allows me to be me right now. I’m bubbling over with creative ideas to help bring about the social change needed for the Prophecy of Peace to come to fruition. Like.. a change of perspective ion how we deal with our animal family.. wild and “domestic”.

The Prophecy of Pece  is an indigenous prophecy I first heard about in 1978. The Hopi predicted a time of Earth Changes, followed by a Golden Age of 1,000 years of peace. My soul woke up then and there… and I remembered that is what I was here for.

The Prophecy, I soon learned, was echoed by indigenous cultures everywhere. Even the Fae Elders talked about it. They called it the Age of Delight. (I talk about this in my booklet and card deck, The Fae Elders Guide to the Higher Dimensions.) The Inca call it the great turning. They understood the world was upside down and would turn the right way up. 

A lot of people are struggling right now. They don’t fit their old paradigm. They don’t know what the new one is. Yet.

If this is you, go deep. Talk to your future self. It’s really time to think out of the box. If your dreams or heart are talking, listen. Keep taking steps toward the collective shift we are all creating. Loving kindness to all beings is key. And maybe this article will help, as we keep breaking through the sorcery of the old patriarchy,

What Happened 6,000 Years Ago?

There was a story I heard around the sacred campfire during my study with indigenous peoples. It was about a time when the matriarchy ruled, but then the “sky gods” arrived. And disruption to the natural order began.

This ties into the idea of ancient matriarchal societies being infiltrated by the forces that would eventually lead to the rise of patriarchy and the separation from the natural world.

The Matriarchal Societies Before the Patriarchal Shift

So imagine a civilisation centred around the Divine Feminine — goddesses were at the heart of spiritual, social, and cultural life. People living in harmony with nature, with a focus on balance, community, and nurturing — values associated with the Earth Mother archetype.

These matriarchal cultures were in various  parts of the world.. including Mesopotamia. According to Sumerian and later texts, they were infiltrated by the Anunnaki… sky gods… about 6,000 years ago.

The Infiltration of the Patriarchal

These extraterrestrial beings or powerful spiritual beings introduced a different system of beliefs —  domination, control, and the establishment of a hierarchical structure.

The Anunnaki wanted to mine gold and other resources, and wanted humans as a servant species. They brought a belief that Earth was a resource to be conquered, and that human beings were to be ruled..  Sound familiar?

Matriarchal Societies in the Broader Context

Though Sumer and Mesopotamia are key areas of this rise in patriarchy, there’s also the Minoans in Crete, the Indus Valley civilisation, and the Celtic countries of Britain, Ireland and France who were later influenced by the Romans and the spread of Christianity.It’s also intriguing to note these new religions like Judaism and Christianity (Adam and  Eve origin story) were said to have begun about 6,000 years ago. (As I write, the year number on the Jewish calendar is 5,785.)

The Enduring Influence of the Patriarchal Shift

The shift to patriarchy created a ripple effect that lasted for millennia. Gods replaced goddesses, masculine ideals became dominant, and the connection to Earth’s wisdom was severed. 

I don’t want to go into the darkness too much.  We are currently living with the result.  But we saw the persecution of the Druids, the Inquisition, the elxecution of the Cathars, and the wise men and women in the Burning Times… to name a few.

Today we see the result — a complete disconnection from nature and the careless extinction of other species. Words like “culling “and “feral pests” are used as spells to deaden the hearts of humans, cutting them away from kinship with nature and the memory of oneness with all.

It is both sickening and frightening to see the casual cruelty accepted toward beings and our Mother, whom we once held sacred..

But even in the face of this cosmic betrayal, the wisdom of the Divine Feminine has never truly disappeared. It has always been there, hidden in plain sight, waiting for the right moment to reawaken.

This reawakening is now happening, as we see the resurgence of the Divine Feminine and the restoration of balance. The astrological alignments today echo the energies of the past, offering a powerful opportunity to heal the wounds inflicted by the rise of patriarchy and to reclaim the wisdom that was lost. (See my work as the Feral Faery Bard writing about the Old Ways)

Reclaiming the Divine Feminine

As we move forward into this astrological alignment, we are being called to reclaim the sacred wisdom of the Earth, the Divine Feminine, and the Goddess. The ancient matriarchal societies that once flourished are not lost — they live on in the roots of the Earth, the whispers of the trees, and the hearts of those who still honour the land.

Now is the time to restore balance, to remember what was once known, and to awaken to the wisdom that is our birthright. The Divine Feminine is returning, and we are the ones who must help it rise again.

Remember, peace reigned in the societies that honoured the Earth Mother and revered the Divine Feminine. The Goddess was not just a deity, but a living force that breathed life into the world. It was a time when people lived in balance with nature, working alongside the living being  Earth, honouring her cycles, and feeling the interconnectedness of al..

Humans were rooted in the wisdom of the Earth, where the feminine energy was revered for its nurturing, creative, and intuitive qualities. The land thrived under their care, and the people honoured the goddess in all things.

Life might have looked simple, but it was deeply spiritual, earth honouring and Feminine led.

So this time’s astrological force might herald a resurgence of the Divine Feminine, the healing of ancient wounds, and the chance to reclaim our true selves as people in tune with the natural world, honouring and even becoming a keystone species alongside other animals to bring not just harmony.but abundance for all species.

The Return of the Divine Feminine: A New Era of Rebirth

Today, we are being offered a second chance to heal the wounds of the past. This isn’t just about spiritual awakening — it’s about reclaiming the Earth’s wisdom and returning to balance with the natural world.

We are at a pivotal moment, a time when we can either continue down the path of disconnection or we can awaken to our true nature. The Divine Feminine is not only rising — it is calling us back to the Earth, to the wisdom of our ancestors, and to the sacred connection that once existed between humanity and nature.

How Can We Harness This Energy for Good?

This astrological alignment invites us to use the energies of the Divine Feminine to transform the world. Here’s how we can use this cosmic opportunity for good:

• Reconnect with the Earth. Honour the natural world, the animals, and the sacredness of all life. Spend time outdoors, listen to the wind, ground yourself, and reconnect with the energy of the Earth. Keep asking, “What do you need?”
• Embrace the Divine Feminine Within. Regardless of gender, we all have a feminine energy that needs to be nurtured. Honour the compassion, intuition, and creativity within you. This is a time to heal the wounds of suppression and embrace your inner goddess.
• Spread Love and Compassion. The Divine Feminine teaches us to lead with love, kindness, and empathy. We can create a world that honours life and sees the interconnectedness of all beings. Stand up for justice and balance in every area of your life.
• Awaken Others. Share the message of the Divine Feminine’s return and how it is linked to the healing of the Earth. This is a time for transformation, a time when we can reclaim our true essence and restore harmony with our Mother.

The Great Awakening

As we stand at this astrological crossroads, iIt’s time to reclaim our connection to the natural world and awaken to the sacredness that has always been within us.

This is our moment to break the spell of disconnection and step into the light of balance and wholeness. The ancient wisdom is here, calling us to return to ourselves and to the Earth. Together, we can create a world that honours the Divine Feminine, restoring harmony and peace for future generations.

The Far Elders say the Old Ways never disappeared , but are held as codes within , waiting to be awakened.  But they are alive and well in the animals  and in nature.  You will never see a tree being unkind.  And human -partnered animals like dogs, cats and horses, are  just love, and can open human hearts to truth remembered .They say the Age of Deligh is already here.. just waiting for humanity to realise it

Here’s to the embodiment of the Prophecy of Peace…and the New Earth or Age of Delight. A Golden Age like no other!!

The World I Once Came From

by the Feral Faery Bard

This time in history is asking us to become who we really are… without the spells of programming and conditioning. I’ve been exploring my inner Remembering what resonates.  What thoughts are bubbling up, begging for this Remembering and to be explored.

This is what I know.

There was a time — before this age of concrete and clamour, before the Great Forgetting — when I lived in the world of antlers and dew light, of moss-covered wisdom and rivers that spoke in song. A world where magick was not called “magick.” It was simply… life.

I remember it in my bones as soul truth. Antlered ones. The Wild Fae.

The ancient ones.

I lived in a place where the veil was not a veil, because there was no separation. A place where the stag was my brother, the wind my companion, and the stars told me stories as I slept in the cradle of trees.

We lived in harmony with all beings… with respect and love. We spoke with the stones, who were old and wise.
We followed the knowing in our feet, barefoot on sacred earth who had a heartbeat we all could hear.
We sang to the sun each morning, and the moon answered our songs in the night.

In that world, animals were never “other.” They were kin. Elders.
They held memory and truth. They were also, us. And we were them. One spirit, different forms. All sacred. And precious.

Back then there was no “war with nature.” We all existed in peace. It was a given that all beings were sovereign and everyone was honoured as a unique thread in the web of life… and the forest community.

We lived without hierarchy, domination, control, management.

Just reverence.

The trees were teachers.
The wolves were poets.
The bees were librarians of light.
Even the wind had a language we understood.

Everyone spoke the Old Language of Silence… thought transference.

And then… the Great Rift. Cities instead of villages. Industry instead of being with the land. Control. Programming. The war on the wild. The burnings. The factories.,

Humanity forgot. And with that forgetting came the cages, the concrete, the clocks, the greed and the cruelty.

But not all of us forgot.

Some of us kept the song inside us — hidden in the hush of our hearts.
We grew up speaking to animals, dancing in the rain, aching for the old ways.
We knew we were not quite from here. Or perhaps… not only from here.

And now —
Now the Earth is calling us home.
She needs the dreamers. The poets. The rememberers. The ones with leaves in their hair and feral in their eyes.

She needs the feral fae.

We are the ones who remember the world Before.
And we are the ones who will help reweave the world to come.

Because we lived in peace once… and we can do it again.

Billie Dean

During the Changing Times, it seems Mother Earth , and perhaps other forces, are determined to create catastrophe for people and animals.

So how can we help?

We can send donations, offer accomodation, be boots on the ground, rescue animals.  But we can also work our personal magick.

Today I want to discuss wildfires as we have just had that nightmare in the Grampians in Victoria, and now LA is alight, triggering all of us who have lived with fire before. Wrapping every single being in a blanket of love , compassion, and soothing light.

One of the lessons I learnt is to be prepared as much as you can be, have your animals and your “escape box” ready with all the documents and things you need, including torches, water and maybe protein bars!,  build relationships with the elements before you need to ( like now!), and spend time making your place as high vibe as possible with prayers, meditations and so on.

I was surprised to find a clearing in the bush where I had been feeding wildlife through the drought, was spared during the ravages of wildfire  in November 2019. It was in the middle of the bush, but that kind of act of kindness creates  and builds its own energetic field. The gratitude of the animals we fed helped as well.

After the Black Summer fires I spent many hours healing the trauma of the animals, land and trees. But today I wanted to talk about some of the things we all can do to support animals during a wildfire.

1. Call upon the Element of Water

1. • Visualize rain gently falling over the affected areas, quelling the flames and cooling the land. Imagine streams, rivers, and clouds bringing life-giving water to the animals and plants. And let’s do this with the specific intention of gentle. We want to avoid mudslides from torrential rain.
   • Pray rain the indigenous way by really feeling it on your skin.  Feel mud between your toes.  Hear the gentle rain. Feel the cool drops.  And see it putting out the fire.
   • Use bowls of water as an offering to the element of water and dedicate this intention to protecting all life in the fire zones.

2. Connect with the Spirit of the Land, Unseen, and Animals

1. • Communicate with the spirits of the land, including the spirit of Mama Gaia, the ancient guardians, the fae, and the spirits of the animals. and trees.  Offer your compassion and your willingness to act as a guardian. Ask them for guidance to help the situation.  And ask them what they need. How can I help?  
   • Ask that all beings caught in the fire have a quick release to spirit and therefore aren’t harmed.
   • Meditate to send healing to the land, visualizing the fires retreating and balance being restored. This includes reiki, the violet ray, silver light, blue light.  And anything you might receive when you ask. As usual, it is not the sort of thing we can do without permission. But if you feel called to help, you probably are being called to help.

3. Light a Protection Candle or Lantern

1. • Use a candle or lantern as a focal point for your intention. Infuse it with protective energy and call upon the light to create a shield of safety around the animals and the land.
   • You might chant or say a prayer such as:
     “Flames are gone. Wind is still. Land is cool.  Water heals. lLife, protected. It is said. It is so.” Or whatever you are called to say.. in the positive and in the present.  And as if it has already happened.

4. Work with Heart Energy.

1. • Put your hand on your heart and feel the warmth and peace there.  Radiate calm, protective energy. Imagine sending waves of love and peace to the animals in the fire zones, wrapping them in a blanket of energetic safety.

5. Call Upon Allies in Spirit

1. • Invoke protective beings such as guardian angels, faery allies, the gnomes of the earth, and elemental spirits. Ask them to guide animals to safety, shield them from harm, and help reduce the intensity of the fires.
   • You can specifically ask for the winds to calm and for the flames to move away from areas with dense animal and people populations.
   • Speak to the fire spirits and tell them “enough.” Tell them their message has been received.

6. Group Visualizations and Prayer Circles

1. • Join with others in person or online to amplify your intentions. Collective energy can be powerful. Visualize the fire’s retreat, rain falling, and animals finding safe refuge.

7. Create a Protective Energy Web

1. • Picture a golden web of energy extending across the affected areas, shielding the animals and the land. Envision this web as a living network of light that protects and soothes all beings in its embrace.

8. Use Crystals and Offerings

1. • Place selenite, clear quartz, or smoky quartz (or other crystals you like to work with including rose quartz) in a grid formation around a map or image of the affected area. These stones can help transmute fear and direct healing energy.
   • Offer rolled oats, grains, fruits, and nuts to the spirits of the animals in gratitude for their lives and resilience. You can do that for all beings, seen and unseen, in your garden or local park or forest.. the intent is there and will be received.

9. Send Energy of Gratitude and Rebirth after the Fire.

1. • Fires can signal endings, but they also bring rebirth. Send energy of regeneration and renewal to the land. Hold the vision of a thriving, harmonious ecosystem emerging after the fires. And send soothing divine love and deep peace and forgiveness to help clear the trauma.

On Monday I watched the parliamentary hearing on the Animal Welfare Committee’s Inquiry into Aerial Culling.

This hearing occurred after a trial run of killing 270 brumbies in rough terrain by helicopter, pumping them with up to  15 bullets for a kill. As reported to the hearing,  16 percent were checked, but all were killed, they said, with no signs of struggle or suffering. And the RSPCA and vets were in attendance.

They obviously know nothing about horses at all.

They were obviously lying.

They obviously didn’t care.

I can’t begin to imagine what those horse went through, without crying. But I know what they went through, because a stallion in spirit came to me with messages. His grief was palpable and his ghost still roams the Kosci National Park where he was born. He did not want to be released to the Light. He was highly offended to be called a “pest” in the first place as they are the Elders of the planet.

The hearing heard how orphaned foals were left. (Oh, they just “came out of the bush”? Seriously? Wild equine mums don’t abandon their children, and they don’t cache them like cows or some other animals do. They and the family all look after them — older siblings and stallions included.)

The bodies of 35 foals were found, one with his umbilical cord still attached. I read the reports from the government and the RSPCA. who went with the shooters in the helicopter.  It was disgustingly cold and riddled with welfare issues and obvious stretches of the truth. And of course written to make it sound all good!

I was interviewed by  a local news channel about it, which turned out to be biased, showing false footage of many, many horses and giving Jack Gough of the Invasive Species Council the floor.

I spoke to them for a quarter hour. You know how much of my footage they used? “If this is humane we need another definition.”  And… “What about compassionate conservation?”

Two half sentences.

Media bias.

But the Inquiry is revealing so many cracks. I applaud Emma Hurst, MLC of  the Animal Justice Party, and the Animal Welfare Committee that she chairs for making the Inquiry happen. I also applaud the hammering  National Wes Fang gave the RSPCA for the inconsistency displayed by the organisation regarding the treatment of horses.

Fang neatly showed how our agency for the prevention of cruelty was not just engaged in a conflict of interest but also, he raised the question, if a racehorse is standing in a paddock, why is it not okay to shoot them in the spine from a moving helicopter with bullets that are too small to take him down, so therefore  you have to use more,  but it is considered humane for a free living horse to be shot this way.

The entire hearing was horrendous, and by the end of it, I felt so sick I had to  walk outside.

We were told there is no foaling season in the wild. That’s why it is okay to shoot in foaling season. Against Standard Operating Procedure. The man who said that apparently bred horses.. so he knew.  Ummmm.

Spring is when Nature produces babies. Occasionally there might be mares who give birth later in summer and even autumn. But there is a definite foaling season.  And thanks to this one ignorant human, 35 foals were shot with up to 7.5 bullets. And orphans were still found. Terrified and starving.

I also listened to men discussing how the cortisol levels of murdered horses should b measured to see how they coped with being murdered. Umm.  Horses are a peace-loving, tight-knit  and deeply loving family unit  who are prey animals.. therefore with high flight response.

Of course being shot at from a helicopter and watching heir families fall in front of them is highly stressful.

So is lying on the ground paralysed from shots to the spine, unable to help protect your family, or move from predators.

One does not need science to know  this. You just need empathy.

There was so much  lack of transparency and conflicts of interest and… just… a complete disconnection from nature. And sensitive, sentient beings.

It is not okay for us humans to go around murdering other species. We are the ones taking all the habitat. We are the ones causing the extinctions. We are the ones with the population out of control.  Has anyone seen drone footage of our sprawling cities?  It makes me tense just looking at them. How entitled of us  to even consider “managing the populations,” especially by brutal murder?

Such is the patriarchy of the toxic male.

This is not the way forward.

Left alone, nature manages very well.  We need to be learning how to live with this planet from the other beings we share the planet with, and who were here before us.

Because we aren’t doing very well.

There was no mention at the hearing of the human damage in the Kosci National Park, of which there is a lot.

One man talked about  “Country crying” because of the horses. But I have to call BS on that. As a highly skilled natural telepath who has been listening to the voice of our Mother for nearly 70 years, I have to say, she loves the wild horses. They carry such magnetic healing energy. They have been here far, far  longer than us. )Over 30 million years) It’s in equine DNA not to destroy the environment. They heal it. Also, the Other Little Ones have spoken to me of their fear of living without their Large Protector.

The wilderness community is very different to the way man runs things, including the way humans keep domestic horses on the earth. That’s not how it is done in the wild.

One of the things the old stallion-in-spirit  said to me was :”When your leaders understand the interconnectivle nature of all things, then we will have an Enlightened Age.”

According to indigenous educator Aunty Ro Mudyin Godwin, many Aboriginal people have taken the wild horse as their totem. The brumbies are not the bad guy this man at the hearing was claiming them to be.  Other First Nation people understand the spiritual significance of these amazing animals and welcome them.

Anyway, apparently the web of lies is cracking open finally and the light is bringing it all out into the open. Finally, other people are realising what we brumby advocates have been saying all along is true.

Independent biostatician Claire Galea was amazing, completely trashing the brumby head count (biologically impossible and grossly far-fetched) and offering another way to count actual living horses with transparency. There is not 3,000 left. There may not be 1,000 at this point.

There is definitely not 23.000 horses in the Park.

The Invasive Species Council, which is a privately funded organisation, said they wanted them gone. All of them. And we know this is the government’s agenda.

But why hurt them so brutally?  Why not offer them a sanctuary funded by eco-tourism.  People come from all over the world to see our unique free living horses in the wild.

I doubt very much this is about conservation at all.  I mean why all the lies?  Taronga Zoo has also been in the news recently about the Corroborree frog.. who was decimated by the chytrid fungus brought in by tourists. coming to the Park.  We have been saying this.  It’s easy enough to check, Why are the Invasive Species Council  blaming the brumbies?

I guess they know the public won’t check.  They just believe the marketing.

There have been so many lies and cover-ups.

But now the truth is coming out.

Let the light shine.

A second hearing is planned for the New Year.

May the wild horses be protected until then.

THE STORY OF THE TINY UNBORN  WILD FOAL WHO WANTED HER MUMMY

A Dark Winter of Political Scullduggery.

It has been a terrible winter, and my Druid eyes are tired of seeing so much darkness.  I am outside under the full moon, doing ceremony and holding space. In the spirit world, I stand alone in the snow, holding a lantern for the ghosts of animals murdered to find their way to the Light.

There are so many of them.

“Deep peace of the quiet grove to you,” I begin, “Your spirits are safe.”

I breathe and reach for  the Earth beneath me, until my grieving heart slows, and I begin to feel the peace I need to be.  The living Earth lends me strength. What’s done is done. There’s no turning back. I’m so sorry they had to die this way, to have their lives cut short by the worst predator on the planet. There is anger, there are tears. There are the silent, the defeated, the defiant.

They have all come to this Druid for healing and release.  So they can go Home,.My heart opens to all of them.

This is the work I do every full moon. But little did I know that a tiny foal would be the one to rock my world that night,

Back in the land of the third dimension., life in Australia has gone darker for animals — if that could be possible.  The Australian Federal Minister for the Environment, Tanya Pilbersek, announced proudly that Australia was leading the “global war” against invasive species. And that is what it is.. A war. A long and brutal war between the Dark and the Light. The innocent animals being the Light. And the people doing their best to protect them. The rest are on the Dark side… because if you do nothing, you automatically align with the dark. You let the dark happen..

Apathy has no place in the crucial time of this ancient war,

We old souls in human bodies are here to stand strong and united against the Dark.  To push back so we can have the New Earth where all beings are safe and living in peace and joy and harmony,.

Ever since I was a child I have spoken out about the atrocities to animals and nature.  It’s been over half a century now.  It’s time for change.

So why is Australia so keen to slaughter and see blood shed?  Why is the Invasive Species Council so keen to bring back  cruel aerial culling across Australia. And why have they been lying about the numbers of wild horses in the Snowy Mountains, and lying about the supposed damage they do to achieve this goal.

Why do we even have an “Invasive Species Council” at a time when introduced animals are being seen in a different light by conservationists and ecologists across the world.  Their old patriarchal arguments are pure projection.  Let’s blame animals for the mess the humans are making.  We cover the earth with cement (which she hates) , build sprawling cities  and towns,  with industries like logging and mining and animal agriculture, and blame animals for the lack of habitat and extinction rates of other animals.

And people believe them.

It’s a witch-hunt. And one has to follow the money trail to find out who is really pulling the strings.

I live with wild horses in their natural state. So they can’t pull the wool over my eyes.  Plus my eyes see more than most — deep into the world of spirit.

There is a large group of us who live with brumbies, photograph them in the wild, live locally and know the truth. Including environmental scientist Karen Summers and others. like her, who have probably more qualifications than the men footing the Invasive Species Council.  I mean how can they complain bout the lack of biodiversity on one hand, but not look at the overwhelming evidence that wild equines improve biodiversity.

Like other issues the Government wants to push their hidden agendas on, our voices are silenced.  There is a mostly media block, and it’s a frightening situation to not even be able to present your case.. no matter how many petitions and submissions and protests you do.

But still we have to stand up for animals and be the  Resistance. Otherwise what are we here for?

The Little Foal who came to me on the night of the August Full Moon, with all her angst and anger… showed me how I could do so much more for her kind.  I’ve been trying to document everything on film.  It’s easier to just write.  She begged me to tell her story.  In the bigger context of the political scene.

And so I am.

What is it about wild horses that makes the Bureau of Land Management in the USA and the Australian Government want to hurt them so much.  Why are they eradicating them?

They will call them damaging feral pests to reduce their beauty and light in the eyes of the public.  They have hypnotised and placed word spells on the public to make them hate one of the oldest species on the planet. Equines have survived over 30 million years.   Their unique ability to adapt to the environment they live in ensures this survival.  They line up their magnetic field with the Earth.. who loves them. They heal the land and others in their presence because of the huge magnetic field round their hearts, and in every way they are remarkable with a sophisticated and deeply loving society.

But the public who only know horses as toys and beasts of burden .. don’t know this.

A fight for their freedom, is seriously a fight for our own.  

A Winter of Grief.

My winter of grief  started at the beginning of the cold, back in May with  the grizzly discovery of 67 brutally shot wild horses were discovered in a Kosciousko National Park retention zone (a place where they are “allowed “ to be), left to rot, polluting the waterways and shocking both locals and tourists alike.

It was an act of brutality by NSW Parks and Wildlife, under the orders of the Minister for the Environment , Penny Sharpe.

The shock reverberated throughout the animal-loving community and the tide of grief took out a good friend, who took her own life a few days later.

She was a beautiful, gentle human who  supported several animals and sanctuaries. A good, kind and gentle soul. Very fae.

I was numb with grief and shock.

And so winter began.

It was a dark story of political skullduggery, protests, letter writing, brumby counts by people who cared, the NSW Minister for Environment , Penny Sharpe, completely ignoring the actual June count ( 653 wild horses sighted, with maybe  a generous 1,000 somewhere else in the Park.)  And also a count done by independent   Clare Galea, proving the Government’s  March number of 14,000 to be completely inflated.

Further shocks as Sharpe  blatantly tells the world that there is now 23,500 horses in the Snowy and they need to reintroduce aerial culling to deal with it. What?

It was a lie so bold, I still can’t think about it without finding myself short of breath with the audacity of it,  Even if their former lie of 14,000 horses in March was true, you still couldn’t  get 23.5000 or even 18,000 horses over a few short months.  Do they think people are stupid?  It is impossible biologically, and it was like they just plucked a number from thin air to make people anxious and brainwash them into saying yes to brutal aerial culling.

And why such cruelty?

I mean, what sort of human promotes aerial shooting… which is war… genocide… totally unacceptable. We saw that in 2000 after the grizzly Guy Fawkes massacre and Labor banned the practise because of the public outcry.

The political show continued. News reports on the so-called thousands of brumbies flashed on the screen. But they were all clips from The Man from Snowy River. And not even brumbies. Horse actors in the film. Thoroughbreds. Smoke and mirrors. Again, the lies took my breath away.

They must think we are all so gullible. And again one has to ask why?  We know they want more than the current three million visitors to the Snowy mountains.   We know the horses are a convenient scapegoat for the harm done to the environment by the heavy human footprint. We know the horses  aren’t hurting the habitat of other animals and indeed, provide many positive impacts.

But somewhere there is a dark agenda to remove them. And it isn’t about the environment or other species.

On one of these news flashes we learn, that while the NSW Minister says she  loves horses (really?), she is busy having them shot in the KNP, against the law and Legislation…as there are supposed to be 3000 kept safe and protected.  And there is nowhere near that number now.

So many are left rotting, so many trapped, and hauled away to the slaughterhouse.

And being the animal shaman I am, I hear and feel it all.

I leave myself open to their pain. so I can write about it.  So I can tell humans what the animals are feeling and saying.  And the other voices and anxiety I’ve been experiencing.. have been none other than the Little Ones who the Government are claiming the horses are hurting,  No.. not at all.  The horses protect and heal them, keep down the fire danger, make little tracks they can follow, and help them get food in the winter.  The Little Ones are worried about losing their big protectors after living with them for 200 years.

Sadly this is not a perspective the Minister will hear.

Knowing these horses as I do, I can’t stand the thought of the suffering they are going through. They are so loving, so innocent, so pure and so family oriented.   They are also ancient and wise.

And from others who actually study the positive impacts of wild equines in the environment it becomes very clear and obvious that eradicating them  is actually a very bad idea.

Back to the Little Foal Who Wanted Her Mummy on the Night of the Powerful August Super Moon.

On the night of the last Super Full Moon in August, there were so many souls who came to be released from their earth-bound state, leaving through the portal created. Much more than normal. I could see them in the dark, illuminated by the moon, bunched together , longing to be heard, angry, hurting.

I held my spirit lamp high. It was going to be a long night.

Amongst the crowd were  the wild horses. There was their anger and my Ho’opono pono… so much forgiveness and counselling. So much.  

And then it was over, except for a tiny teeny foal who refused to go to the Light,

She  stood there rooted on the ground.  And refused the healing, and the open portal.

She had been aborted  when her mother was cruelly shot in the Snowy Mountains.

She wanted her mother.

“Will I be able to be with my mum? “ she asked. I was outside under the brilliant moonlight, on this chilly August night and I dropped to my knees on the cold earth, holding  out my arms to her.

“Oh baby,” I said, tears coursing down my cheeks. “I’ll do everything I can to make that happen.”

She clung to me, trembling. I could see the trauma embedded in her field. That was something I had to remove before she could go gently into the Light. Otherwise, she would return for another round of life on earth, with that trauma in her light body, trapping her in a life of persecution, until it was healed.

So we set about healing. I called in her spirit people, her mother, and my helping guides — the ones who assist those having trouble crossing. We all worked together for understanding and peace, forgiveness and divine love.

That wasn’t easy since the Foal  had been so brutally removed from life before it began. And she felt the loss of her mother so deeply. Horses gestate for eleven long months, and in all that time she had been nurtured by her mother’s great love.

 She wanted me to write about her. She wanted humans to know. She was strong and wise and ancient and angry.

An old soul who had been denied a chance of life.  Of freedom in the body of a wild hors growing up in the loving embrace of herd society.

A baby not yet born. Yet fully formed. Aborted because her mother was so stressed by being hunted by a  psychopathic gunmen. And in so much pain from the bullet wounds in her side, and gut and chest.

Her little face did not light ups when she saw her mother.. because she could see with her spirit eyes, the trauma left in her mother’s light body.

The bay mare was gentle, sweet and filled with sorrow,  It showed  in her sad brown eyes.  She radiated sadness.  She told me it too three days for her to pass.  She was so grateful to be reunited with her baby.  But it wasn’t enough.  They had planned a life together.   And that had been ripped away.. by lies, deceit and shotguns.

She asked me why.

I had no answer.

It was so touching to see their spirits together, but their combined pain was palpable. This still was no happy ending.

I watched as the foal  shifted her form into a human child and stared at me. She would cross over, but she would not forget, no matter what form her next incarnation took.

As mothers, we all try to protect our children from harm. And this little soul was harmed. Her beautiful mother was so sad about that.

I am haunted by that little foal face, and the face of the child she also was. I’ll never forget her piercing eyes, willing me to promise that I would tell her story.

If I had any doubts before, she made me understand my purpose with crystal clarity. “Be their voice. Tell these stories.”

Of course I do tell their stories, over and over. But still her we are… looking down the barrel of wild horse extinction because there is someone in a position of influence, with an agenda.

Hours have passed and the crowds of spirits have gone.,  I’m shivering  from both the cold and the emotional exchange.  I ‘m  standing alone under that huge moon, listening to the whispering of the pine trees nearby.  The tree spirits try to comfort me. My own brumbies send their healing to me, which feels like a warm embrace. They alone save me from shutting down completely. Their huge magnetic presence is all love, and I feel that love in my own heart space, which opens like a flower… a beautiful flower.  A rose.

This is the gift of wild horse medicine.  They are so much older, wiser and bigger than humans..

They don’t forget.. but they can forgive.

Please Send A Submission to Stop the Horrific Aerial Culling.

Please send in a short submission to Penny Sharpe, and say no to aerial culling. The other side  will do their best to stack the odds against us.So we need lots of submissions,

t I fear that if all the brumbies go, a huge light will leave the Snowy Mountains.  And my sense it is so important that they stay there to hold the Light Grids.

And to help the Little Ones survive.

This is not at all about the environment or the extinction of other species.  If the Minister really cared about that, she would stop logging i the Tallaganda to help the sugar gliders survive, protect koalas and kangaroos, listen to people like environmental scientist Karen Summers for a balanced point of view about wild equines, and so much more.

But she doesn’t. (She rudely stood up Karen who travelled from South Australia to meet her in the KNP). Instead she posts about her desire for “pest-free havens”.

I consider this to be  spiritual war, Take out the Light. Anger and squash the Light Workers. Control everyone. Keep the  Field’s frequency as low as possible. Keep them apathetic with brainwashing.

Please don’t let this happen.

The  wild horses are being sacrificed.  One of the oldest species on the planet.

They are so different to domestic horses and once they are gone we will realise that we have lost something precious.

Please don’t let that happen.

We have until midnight o  MONDAY, SEPTEMBER  11   to make a difference.  Please write a short submission now.

Here is the link to management plan draft  amendment, which they are trying to amend to allow aerial culling.  Please fill out the submission form and say no, and why you think aerial culling is completely unacceptable.

Here’s a link to an article by Animal Liberation to help you make a submission if you feel you need it.

You can also read my submission for the senate inquiry and take notes from there. Or t least learnstsff about wild horses that you won’t hear about on the media.

You can respond in these different ways:

• complete the online survey
• email to npws.submissions@environment.nsw.gov.au
• post to The Project Team, Kosciuszko National Park Wild Horse Heritage Management Plan
  National Parks and Wildlife Service
  PO Box 472
  Tumut NSW 2720
• via the online submission at the bottom of the management plan page.

Say no and say why… at the minimum tell them it is too cruel to contemplate.

Thank you.

The Good Folk of Faery have always been present for me. Whispering to me as a lonely, misunderstood child, and appearing to me at odd times, like in the middle of the paddock while I was filling a water trough!

The Fae Folk have intrigued and fascinated humans for centuries, winding themselves into the tapestry of this world through myth, folklore… and personal stories.

Often described as having ethereal beauty and an otherworldly presence, the Fae are generally considered to be guardians of nature, intermediaries between realms, and keepers of ancient wisdom and magick.

Today, I want to invite you to delve into the possibility of your connection to this ancient race — whether through incarnation or blood lineage.

So let’s consider some of the things presented to us… what we think we know about the Good Folk of Faery, including the nature spirits many consider to be fairy. 

The Fae are often depicted as beings with luminous skin, mesmerising eyes, and an aura that radiates enchantment. Their appearance is described as anything from delicate and dainty to breathtakingly wild. As they don’t age as humans do, they can appear ageless.

Ethereal, commanding, and powerful are some other words for the ones I have personally met. But the world of faery is vast and includes many types of beings. From thoughtful, poetic elves to rascally leprechauns, and cheeky pixies. And everything in between.

Some are intrinsically linked to the natural world, possessing a deep connection to the earth, plants, and animals, and are considered the guardians and protectors of the natural realms. Telepathic with all beings, these Fae love harmony and balance and create it wherever they go. 

Associated with hidden realms existing parallel to our own, one can access their ethereal landscapes through enchanted portals, ancient forests, or sacred places where the veil between worlds is thin. Within these realms, the Fae are believed to weave their magick and maintain the delicate equilibrium between the mortal and spirit realms.

They often prod humans to write about them and tell their stories so they are not forgotten. Many are magickal musicians and if you are lucky and worthy, it is said they will grant you the gift of music. There are also stories of humans becoming healers or storytellers after a chance encounter with an original member of the Fae community.

The Fae I’ve met love to dance, sing and make merry music. They tell me this “merry” keeps them in the higher dimensions.

Throughout history, the Fae have been regarded as keepers of ancient wisdom and mystical knowledge. They are an old old race of being, some say the first on the planet, followed by the animals. 

Legend says the Tuatha de Daanan, for example, were a magickal race who came to Ireland, and when defeated by the Druid Amergin of the Milesons, moved into the Other Realms.

Fae races appear in every country.

In Australia, they are seen as blue lights by the First Nation people. They have appeared to me this way as well.

According to some lore, the Good Folk possess insights into other realms, holding secrets of the universe and guiding those who seek enlightenment. They can offer their wisdom and teach valuable lessons to those fortunate enough to encounter them.

There’s also a lot of old stories about how the Fae can be tricksters and how one is wise to be polite and not cross them. Some don’t like humans at all. 

I’ve been fortunate to meet only Fae who are kind but strict in their dealings with me, knowing me better than myself and encouraging me with initiations along the way. One such initiation was to hold myself as a High priestess Queen which apparently I was, knowing I had trouble with self-worth in this life time. That one took years.

I’m curious about the human-fae connection. Do you have past lives as a Fae being, your soul carrying fragments of memories and traits from that existence? Do you have blood lineage, with ancestry linking you to the Fae? 

Is your Fae self dormant?

Do you resonate at all with these magickal beings?

Can you feel yourself existing in more than one place?

Do you feel at odds with the human species? Like you don’t fit in?

Let me know!

The plight of the wild horse is something dear to my heart… and I have made some other videos to express my feelings.

Here’s a Plea for Compassion and Empathy… my response to the horrible propaganda surrounding wild horses and how it is making people chillingly cold.

It satisfyingly went viral on Facebook.

Here’s another work inspired by a documentary I’m making — Thundering Hooves.

I hope you enjoy them. There’s more to come!!

There’s nothing that I love more than filming beauty. I’ve been pretty obsessed since my dad lent me his camera when I was a little kid. I nearly swapped my journalism cadetship for photography when I was still in my late teens.

And today I just want to express my feelings about animals and nature through this medium and hopefully change some hearts and minds.

Essays and discussions aren’t the only thing on film that I’m doing. People learn through stories and I have lots to tell.

Today is all about being authentically yourself , digging out your childhood dreams and having the courage to go after them. Advocacy isn’t a happy thing to do — it’s a calling to stand up against injustice. But I can balance the pain I feel at animal suffering, with making beautiful stories that touch and inspire. That keeps my frequency up!

I hope you can find your way to your passionate purpose this year too. It’s time!

Animal communication in this context is based on the Old Language of Silence that all beings speak. It is telepathy. And telepathy is thought transference. All beings are telepathic. But only some humans remember how to listen to the silence, and fewer still remember how to be  accepted in the forest of life.

This is because of the way the Western world has been set up. We’ve spent centuries being shut off from the natural, whole self of a human, one who actually is accepted into the forest. We have forgotten the ways of respect and reverence.  We have been told we are separate.

This current world is divided into prey and predator. But there is a third option — partner. If you look at all our interactions with animals and nature, humans mostly come across as the predator. Our training, until very recently, was to be the leader of the pack or herd. Or the dominant one. We “owned” animals, and thus they were property, in exactly the same way that women were once owned by men and were property. In this current paradigm, animals are commodities for humans to profit from, to feed from, to use and abuse, to use as toys and entertainment. And to throw away when humans get bored or times get tough.

Western humans  also didn’t stop to listen to the actual heart beat of Mother Earth, or to the trees. Desensitised to the world around them, they definitely weren’t, and still aren’t, part of the forest.

In my 30-day challenge, we start to unpack some of these old conditionings, so we can once again take up our rightful place in the forest. We also learn how to be “forest respectful,” which has many more layers than you might think!

So here are five steps to get you started.

1. Be Humble

This is an important one. Just because you can hear the silent voice in your head, doesn’t mean it can go to your head! Being able to sense, feel, see and hear what another being is sending you is just the first step! It takes humility and an open mind and heart to really go the next step. You have to be willing to hear things that go outside your understanding or even personal beliefs and desires. Imagine for a moment you are trying to make yourself understood to a person of another culture and language, and the interpreter keeps getting it wrong. That’s what we don’t want to do when communicating with animals and nature.

2. Ask Permission

imagine what it would be like to be an animal in our society, no agency at all. They are taken away from mothers and family. Humans decide how  they live and when they die. People are not in the habit of asking animal’s permission for anything.

But you will, of course!!  If you attempt to communicate with an animal,  ask permission first. “May I communicate with you?” If you get a “yes,” fantastic. Keep going.

And if you get a “no,” honour it. This is vital.

This especially pertains to euthanasia. it’s not about when we are ready for them to cross.  it’s about them, being ready.  Most of the time they can go on their own.  This is another story and another class.  But the minimum is to give animals agency about their own ending.  lLet them pass in peace.  iI there is fear.. that’s a no.

Asking permission extends to everything with a spirit.  It’s about respect. It’s about being polite and being in relationship and in harmony. Ask permission before you take herbs from the garden and fruit from the tree, before you pick up stones and rocks, definitely before you pick flowers.  Get conscious and mindful about the way you walk in the world.

3.Give Back

If you want to form a relationship with nature, animals and the unseen, give back. Do you give back in your daily life and practise? To be part of the earth in this new, but ancient, way, we need to give back. Practise reciprocity. This might be, for example, leaving out an offering of oats for the wild ones and the fae where you live, or offering Mother Earth a sip of your drink before you have some. The Inka shaman for instance always offer the essence of their food and rink to Mother Earth first, and to Father Sky and Grandfather Sun second.  And then they dine.  Giving back might also mean taking in an animal who needs you, repairing the damage of other humans who hurt them.  Give love and always ask, what can I do for you?

4. Untether from Societal Programming

This includes old traditions. I’m (kind of) fortunate to have grown up in the country and to have lived in farming communities, which make me very uncomfortable, but also gave me insight into animals that I might never have come across. I’ve seen the truth about farmed animals, and also our wildlife who try to exist around animal farming communities.

Here’s what I’ve learned: there are no “pests.” There are no “feral” animals.  (Feral actually means wild, or gone wild) .There are no animals who want to serve humans, or be killed or eaten. They just want their precious life. So this is an important point, especially for today.

People are programmed that it is okay to kill and use others.  Some spiritual circles still think it is okay to thank and bless food because it is their right to eat other animals.  Others still want to shoot and hunt because that’s  tradition.  Others still use animal skins for drums.  Others still think leather is a premium product when really it is clever marketing to make money out of the dead.

There is so much to unpack.  The way we live isn’t “normal”. We have strayed far from the forest and have an opportunity to reinvent society in a more more inclusive and “forest” friendly way.

Why is this important to your communication?  Because a lot of programming and conditioning makes people unconscious.  To be a good communicator you must untether yourself from programming and See and Hear clearly.

5. Do Your Personal Work

Whether it is a problem with your love life, your fears about death, your desire to look good, your “I’m not good enough,” please do your personal work. Take the opportunity to be the best interpreter for the animals and others you communicate with. Don’t be someone who projects  their unhealed stuff onto the animals they are supposedly listening to. Be as clear as you can be.

Happy communicating!.
