Co-Creative Gardening 3: Our First Tasks

In our first meeting at the garden site, we opened a coning to talk with the spirits about what to do in order to get started. A coning is like a non-physical conference call. Working from the Perelandra processes of Machaelle Small Wright, we included the deva of Amity (Barbara’s land); the deva of her garden; Pan; a link from the Inner Council; and our higher selves. Pan is the consciousness which, among other things, links the devic, or architect/pattern level of nature intelligence with the nature spirit, or builder/manifester level.

We assessed the current condition of the garden beds (in need of work! See sample pictures.) and told Nature more specifically what Barbara wants out of the partnership. She wants an “alive,” healthy garden that is easy to maintain, in addition to her intention of working with Nature’s intelligence to create a high-vibration atmosphere that will radiate out as a blessing. Asking what we were to do next, we were told the following things:

·         Make a diagram of the beds, and copies to work from.

·         Clear out plants; dig and aerate the beds and put down a thin layer of compost, covered over with a layer of straw mulch.

·         Make a list of veggies, flowers and herbs that Barbara is interested in or willing to have in the garden (as well as perennial flowers and herbs that are already there).

·         Start pruning and cutting back perennials that need this.

·         Conduct a water blessing for the garden.

·         Touch in with the consciousness deep within the land that we call the Dark Goddess (from the Western Mystery tradition).

The last 2 items were a surprise, but of course they fit right in with the spiritual/vibrational part of our intention, and it was these two directives that excited us most, partly because they were unexpected and partly because they were direct spiritual actions. As it turned out, we got a lot of rain soon after this session, so the water blessing got put off. It felt like the weather devas were doing a blessing of the entire region, as our entire state has had such a lack of rainfall that it is certain we will be on water rationing this year.

I want to write more about the garden diagram, the water blessing, and about working with the Dark Goddess; who and what she is, why she is seen as female, what her powers are, what happened when I did the meditation, and so on. So the next couple of posts will cover these topics.
