When I am out walking in the woods, the local nature spirits talk to me. I do not see them with my physical eyes, although sometimes I am given visions of what they look like in my head. These are different and separate from the plants themselves. They are more like caretakers of all things natural. Sometimes the plants and trees they take care of are young and robust. At other times they watch over the processes of plant death and all that entails--decay, reclamation and renewal of the soil. Some nature spirits are associated with the soil or minerals of the earth, water and even air. Yes, this seems to be the stuff of fairytales and dreams, but I do believe there is much more to these energies than most of us are willing to recognize in this modern world.
I allowed myself to tune in to them several years back on suggestion from an intuitive friend. It's difficult to begin feeling the energies of things you have been told are the stuff of fairytales and dreams. It can be a scary thing to admit you believe in these types of energies because people in this modern world are likely to call you crazy. Still, I've experienced enough I believe there is something to them.
One of the first nature energies I sensed was a more female energy that presides over a tree that stands in my yard. It is an older pine tree that has seen better days and is more on the dying end of its life. She told me her name was Astra, and her energy was much more calm and serene than some of the others I felt. I usually communicate with her when I'm in my yard, although I have known her to venture out and show up at different places. There was one time when I decided to go walking in one of my favorite local parks and she showed up. From where I parked my car you can walk in two different directions. This particular day I wasn't sure which way I should go and asked the Universe for help deciding. All of a sudden, I felt Astra there, pointing to one particular direction. When I chose to follow that path, I felt her excitement at my choice--sort of like there was something she really wanted me to see. I didn't want to take that path as I couldn't go more than a mile because they had closed that part of the trail down for repairs. When I finally got to where they closed down the trail, I understood why Astra had wanted me to go that way. They had re-opened the trail!!! I would not have known if Astra had not encouraged me to make that choice.
Understand that true nature spirits have jobs to do. They contribute to the health and growth of the natural world. They will talk to you if you allow it, but they are more concerned with helping to take care of Mother Earth and have no interest in using or harming you. If your intuition helps you sense them, acknowledge their presence. They may just have some interesting information to show you!!!
