WHAT IS THE GRANDMOTHER COUNCIL
Some background around being a GrandMother. Since I was a very young child, I have had reoccurring dreams of a grandmother coming to me. In my dream I am out in a field, harvesting/digging roots when she comes to me behind me and she whispers into my left ear. She has never left me and advocates and guides from the invisible.

I met Brooke Medicine Eagle when I was 31 years old, dying from a brain growth in my Pituitary. She provided me with key wisdom that activated my inner physician and allowed me to use my active imagination to reframe my brain and heal. I participated in a four-year healing of the waters ceremonies with Brooke from 1984-1988. Brooke began calling me a GrandMother at the age of 35 when I healed from my “Downwinder poisoning.

Being a GrandMother means to me “Loving People and Feeding Them Well”. A GrandMother’s Council can take a 1000 forms (There’s a 1000 way to kneel and kiss the sweet Mother Earth”)
As I am a Celtic American with DNA roots to Ireland and Old Brit (Wales) I love Celtic Shamanistic dialogue around GrandMothers where there is such inclusiveness of the elements, family of mother nature, such that one can be a GrandMother for the whales, the waters, the air, the rocks and so on. So maybe one’s GrandMother Council is a Grove of Trees.

I am working on a manuscript called Holy Woman Reclaiming the Feminine Face of God. I have been drafting a chart based on the Great Wheel of Life naming the multitude of honorable, inherited archetypes, pattern holders with their special gifts and talents. I contend we must immediately stand up and name who we are. Breaking the patriarchal dominated language of diminishing and making invisible we powerful, important, proud leaders, teachers, visionaries, Great Mother Advocates.
