Today’s message comes again from the “Angels, Gods and Goddess” deck which I love so much. 
Goddess of the Earth
“An idea connected to imagination, creativity and nature is coming your way.”
Some of the best ideas that we might ever have can come from odd or out of the ordinary encounters with nature. A walk in the woods, sitting and looking at the clouds, even a day at the beach and stir our hearts and minds, and especially our spirits, in a way that nothing else can. The problem with this, however, comes with the fact that we don’t always listen to nature. Nature, especially in our highly electronic age, is something that is just sort of there. It lives and breaths and goes through its cycles virtually unnoticed by most people, even some of us good meaning Pagan and earth-minded folks can fall prey to the busy daily lives we life and forget to always stop and acknowledge the beauty of the changing seasons and the specific changes happening in our neighborhoods.
Today provides an opportunity to connect to nature to feed the creative spirit. Go for a walk this evening in an area that provides opportunities to connect to nature whether it’s by the beach or a lake or out in the woods (if it’s safe, of course). But here is the challenge. Don’t bring your iPod. Don’t distract yourself from nature during your walk. Focus on the trees, the ground, the sky above. Feel the heartbeat of nature around you and connect to that as you walk through its space. Open yourself up to hearing the messages and feeling the energy that the earth has to offer and let this bring forward whatever messages, ideas or information that the spirits of the earth have to give. Bring an offering of fruit, wine or juice, just a small amount, and leave it somewhere for the Goddess of the Earth, Gaia, Mother Nature. Thank her for being the ultimate sustenance in your life, both physical and spiritual.
