Leshachikha Speaks:

{{ leaves rustle.... a grove of dense trees beckons.... a fleet glimpse of a wild animal catches your gaze for the briefest of moments, and is gone so quickly you do not know what was there just mere moments before... }}

{ Her voice is like a whisper... } Come, daughter, sit with me a while.

{{ Though you do not recall the exact words spoken, you are left with the memory of her deep earth wisdom... Something about honoring the body of our sacred mother; cherishing the bounty and gifts she bestows; guarding and protecting her from all who might cause her harm or disrespect; watch over her waters, her gardens, her valleys and caves... }}

Come, walk with me, a while. Do you see that fallen leaf? Pick it up, my beloved child, gently clutch it in the palm of your hand before tucking it away in your pocket. I will keep you safe. I will protect you, daughter, as you protect me. In my honor, please scatter birdseed for the wild birds. They desire to bring you joy.

{{ With a rustling of wind, She is gone~ and yet, you feel Her presence everywhere! }}
