Here follows a wonderful discourse on the subject of Earth Sophia and Earth Angels by Elder Sarah.
We are in a constant exchange of sparks with the world around us. This exchange is happening through our relationships and interactions with the environment we live in. A vast majority of our environment is made up of stone and soil, herbs, shrubs and trees as well as creepy crawly ones, fined ones and the winged ones. We interact with the four legged and the two legged as well as the star people and beyond. All of these messengers are the angels of our Earthly Mother and it is through her messengers that we can commune in unity with her and as her. It is said in the teachings that the Human One gives voice to creation. Human Ones bring voice in our ability to receive the messages given by these messengers, in our ability to listen and hear, and our ability to notice what is transpiring within and all around. We bring voice because we notice and receive voice.
Within and all around stone people, plant people and animal people are always speaking. How is it that we might notice a special stone in a special moment, when most of the time we don’t notice at all? Or when we walk through the forest how a particular plant might pop out and speak to us. Or when a Hawk flies by in a particular moment and brings an answer to the Prayer we just spoke. This exchange is a constant, and it is through noticing this exchange and its interrelatedness that mysteries are revealed and prayers answered.
Earthly Angels or Angels of Our Earthly Mother is a term used in the tradition to describe Angels we might come in contact with that appear in an Earthly form. Just as Our Heavenly Father has Angels so too does our Earthly Mother. One could say Angels are Beings/ Forces that act as an interface between Creator and Creation. Angels of Our Heavenly Father are Angels whom abide in heavenly realms and dimensions, these Angels are contacted in the energy dimension and every now and again manifest in materiality. Angels of Our Earthly Mother however manifest all of the time in a material form as animal people, plant people and stone people.
These Angels of our Earthly Mother are noticed by way of observing our environment and taking notice of the energy within and around all things. Everything moves here in one gigantic web, all is interconnected. All of the time these Angels are moving in our lives, they are always answering prayers and bringing messages, we just need to be open to receive.
There are many ways in which we can notice these Angels and many ways in which they manifest. In animal people and plant people they seem to come and go. Sometimes remaining permanently and sometimes only remaining for a certain duration of time or even for a certain moment. In stone people they seem to remain most of the time, if a stone appears luminous then most of the time it remains luminous. For example, one could encounter a large crystal that clearly has an Angel moving with it and it is clear this Angel abides all of the time with this crystal and at the same time one could encounter a crystal the same size and clearly see it is just a stone person that happens to be a large crystal.
In plant people these Angels come and go according to season, time and medicines that manifest with and as them. A dear sister of mine once said that on her regular walks on the rivers bank, some seasons she will notice certain plants growing that were not growing in that location the last season. Of these plant she said often the medicine associated with them becomes prophetic of what is needed for the people in that time and in that space. You could say these plants are Angels communicating medicine needed for the people.
In animal people these Angels arrive in particular moments often bearing messages of that moment or space in time. Look at the example found in 1 kings 17:3 regarding these Angels manifesting as Ravens:
“Go from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. You shall drink from the Wadi, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there. So he went and did according to the word of the Lord; he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the wadi.”
Angels of our Earthly Mother appearing in animal form come often as a sign that something is auspicious or is inauspicious and remind us to look into what it is we are doing. They can be an affirmation of a particular movement we are involved with, it is in this way they are often answers to our prayers.
All of these Angels embody certain energies and it is through our Earthly knowledge of these being we might be able to look and see what it is Creator is communicating. They are all part of this vast creation that arises as many and one at one the same time. How Beautiful!
May we be blessed to look and see, to listen and hear your Angels Holy Mother!
