:: Lightning ::

spring is in its fullness & wow. spring energies to me are always so full on, lol. my intention for this spring is to go find an apiary and sit with the bees <3

in this past year has been fully devoted to my ancestors. to hearing them, meeting them, re-membering, retrieving their stories, & honoring them so deeply.

i've written so much poetry in this last year, but it's all hand written scattered thru many journals. & consecrated as sacred offerings to them, to my lineages.

Scent is a gateway, to me much like the dreamtime. 

When i am immersed, when i am in devotion to being with fragrance as a devotional place to meet the divine, i feel so connected with my soul. 

When i am immersed into my dreamtime practice, i feel so connected to my soul. 

I feel rooted, i feel at home. 

I humbly bow in reverence to Thunder Mountain, to lightning, thunder, the rain & the great forces of mother nature who shake me to my core, humble me, remind me who i am, and midwife me again and again into deeper gnosis of Soul & Self.  

So here we have a poem about lightning I wrote after waking up from the 3 hour nap.  

// Lightning Strikes //

May 25, 2026

Lightning strikes 

Thunder rumbles. 

An ancient reckoning with the mother of life. 

Her electric light strikes me to death. 

& midwife’s me into a new life. 

Her thunder rumbles me to my bones, to my core.

Purging the illusion of control from every cell. 

she humbles me once again to my knees. 

"There is no fight with me, only surrender. 

It is your choice. 

Lightning & thunder bring you home. 

They will always be a source of death & rebirth. 

When they come, let them teach you. 

For the lightning activates, awakens, and births your gnosis. 

Cleansing your ruby with electricity. 

Everything that was before now only was. 

We have arrived at a threshold. 

S e e clearly the gift of e l e c t r i c i t y.

When you do not see clearly the gift, you fear it… let the rain cleanse your perception, & wash away the fear, so that you can see clearly. 

S e e clearly the gift of e l e c t r i c i t y.  

Honor it deeply and you will see. 

For now we begin a new chapter. 

The chapter of e l e c t r i c t y. 

The forces of Mother Nature have always been & will always be your one t r u e m y s t e r y school."

Everyday, from now forward, I humble myself to the lightning. 

And within that, I remember and feel my humanity. 

I remember my why.

2 miracles re-electrified me & re-minded me what & why I am doing everything & anything.. the re-union into the sacred art of anointing & the mystery school of the oils, & a lightning and thunderstorm that completely shook me like a cataclysm. I’m always learning to navigate being a highly sensative human.

The mountain I have the deepest relationship with who is of my closest allies and greatest loves on earth is called Thunder Mountain. 

I love this mountain with all my heart, it is my teacher, my guide, my mentor, my friend, & the guardian who I go to with basically anything and everything life presents me. 

Thunder mountain is one of the most lightning struck mountains in the world, and to experience a thunder and lightning storm here is immense. The lightning strikes with a power i’ve never felt before, and the thunder literally shakes my house.

When there are lightning & thunder storms, I get so shocked and charged by the lightning and thunder that my system actually short circuited and i fell into the deepest sleep for 3 hours. every cell & water molecule was vibrating with an electrical intensity that i couldn’t handle, couldn’t breathe thru, so i fell asleep. 

Upon waking, i went to the land and sang songs, brought cacao flowers, tobacco and kissed the ground of thunder mountain for the gift of the complete death and rebirth that the storm took me through.. 

Out the other side I felt immersed in a new.. & birthed the poem above.

Electrified by a force with no name 

but a power that continually calls me into the deepest parts of my inner cave…

With love,

Jessica
