Nature's Invitation

My Sidhe colleagues occasionally converse with me as I develop the “Deepening Into Nature” program. They understand that humanity must create a new relationship with the natural world for the well-being of all life. The Sidhe are extraordinarily sensitive to the energetic vibrations of life and are impacted by environmental degradation and species loss. They view this time as an opportunity to work with humanity collectively and share their understanding of nature’s ways with us to foster a new collaboration between Humans, Sidhe, and Nature.

Alliances in the Field of Inspiration

For millennia, Sidhe and Humans have shared a relationship with Nature. While humans dwell in the realm of nature’s physical manifestation, the Sidhe experience nature's vibrational or energetic dimension—what we call the subtle worlds. Over time, the connections between Sidhe and Humans, Humans and Nature have frayed to such an extent that it threatens the well-being of all life. Just as many humans are acutely aware of the dangers this poses to Gaia, so too are the Sidhe.

There is an ask coming forth from Gaia to forge a new alliance between Nature and both branches of the greater humanity: Humans and Sidhe. An alliance that recognizes the kinship of all beings and the emergence of new partnerships between greater humanity and the natural realm.

Gaian Ecologies and the Sidhe- 2

I spoke with Olander about this event and its meaning for these young Sidhe. His reply was characteristic of the Sidhe’s holistic viewpoint. Yes, they were proud of their children, but not as individuals per se. They appreciated each child individually and, at the same time, honored all the children of this cohort. Their appreciation encompassed the project and its importance to the greater Sidhe community. Which in turn embraced the larger Sidhe / Human reconnection project. While I describe these different aspects separately, they experience them holistically. They perceive their world with an intrinsic sense of wholeness.

Gaian Ecologies and the Sidhe - 1

I understood that she was working in partnership with a number of young Sidhe on an ecological project together. They were exploring the energetic relationships of the different species that go into the formation of an ecosystem. These young people were modeling the unique vibratory characteristics of various species, then determining their compatibility and function within a balanced ecology. Since this was the initial project they were only working within a Sidhe energetic environment.

These young Sidhe seemed to be experimenting with ecologies as they understood them. They were initiating different ecological relationships on an energetic level to see how the different entities within the system responded.

Restoring the Trees of Life

…The Star People, or the Sidhe, having decided that they would help the trees, gathered in a great meadow under a towering tree. This was no ordinary tree, for it was one of the World Trees—the Tree of Life. Its leaves were made of starlight — reds, yellows, blues, purples, and silvers. And its roots reached down so deeply that they touched other worlds. From the roots of this tree, our world was joined with the world of the Star People. Many Star People came to this conference and among them was the family of Sashima, daughter of Olander and Marika. Marika was a botanist. A botanist is a person who knows all about plants and trees. Sashima was also very interested in plants. And she was learning all about them in school. Besides knowing much about trees, her whole family also knew Humans, which was another reason this Sidhe family were invited to the gathering. Sashima and her family were familiar with Humans

Sidhe Messages Regarding COVID 19

An Exercise — “… "Today, let us focus on the delivery people who are out delivering goods we need," or "Today, let us focus on the grocery clerks who are enabling us to find food," and so on. In other words, I hold in mind a group of people helping in or affected by this crisis and use my link with or understanding of that group to direct the helpful, life-affirming energies of my Sidhe allies towards them.

A Reflection — “The current social, economic, environmental, and other institutional maladies on the planet are bringing your options into high relief. This is actually a positive manifestation in our view. We share a great sense of prospect that is quite exciting if you understand the full context of your capabilities and your power to make change.”

1% Inspiration - 99% Perspiration

When the concept of Elven Gates came to me, I was soaring. Dare I allow myself to consider creating portals to another realm? There’s another 1 to 99 ratio. One percent reality and ninety-nine percent fantasy. That’s the realm my ideas inhabited in those days. Admitting this private reverie publicly is a bit embarrassing. Nonetheless I was captivated by the idea of creating portals or gateways to a deeper inner connection with the subtle realms and manifesting them physically.

…This first portal initiated my understanding that the energetic pathway through a form has more importance than its visual design. I could have could have cut the arches and affixed them to the inside and outside of the posts and visually the arch would look the same. But the energy would not flow through it. It was important first lesson for me and very much in line with what I’ve come to understand of how the Sidhe shape substance in their realm.

First Contact

It was a nudge of my shoulder. Or rather more like a scarf flying out as someone rushed past me. Barely perceptible but it got my attention. I was quietly on the dunes of Cape Kiwanda, Oregon, listening as the distant surf heaved onto the shores before me. There was no one near me but I still had the sense that someone brushed by me.

It was the summer of 2010. My teenage son and his step brother were romping across the Cape. Neither my wife nor I felt the same urge to charge about and sat relaxed on the warm sands. In a natural setting like the Cape, I often sit and connect with the landscape, as I did then - sensing the earth and sand, the wind sculpted trees, the rolling ocean before me. I’m not a hardy outdoors person trekking through the wilderness or scaling mountain peaks. But I’ve felt at home on sandy shores and forest trails since I was a kid.

Further Encounters

There’s a way that a first time sticks in one’s memory: like my first date or my first visit to an old growth forest. They find a nice warm place in that tangled growth I call my memory. It is a familiar place to revisit. But the second, third, … or umpteenth time I experience something - those memories start blending together. The sharp outlines wear off.

After my first contact with the Sidhe, my piqued curiosity waned, receding to the unkempt parts of my brain. Occasionally this quiescent memory stirred. Perhaps, stimulated by a vague sensation now and again that someone was looking over my shoulder. Whatever was tickling my mind finally stirred me enough that in the fall, I wrote a friend wondering if he had any connections with these Sidhe.

Inspiring Encounters

Inspiration comes at the next bend in the road. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

In the fall of 2010 I, along with a number of colleagues and friends, participated in a Lorian Association intensive program that led to our ordination in October of the following year. During that time, we met on several occasions. At those gatherings my friend, Jeremy Berg, displayed the watercolors he was painting to form the images for a card deck related to the Sidhe. The images radiated light and intensity. Each time we met he had new images to display. Though he had never painted before, his images were vivid and skillfully composed.
