THE WOVEN UNIVERSE #922 - THE SOVEREIGN SOIL: RECLAIMING YOUR GARDEN
The Oil Spike and the Local Solution
We are currently witnessing a significant spike in global oil prices, which impacts every part of our lives. When fuel costs rise, the price of everything transported to us rises too. One of the most effective ways to push back against this pressure is to bring production as close to the point of consumption as possible. By growing food in your own backyard, you are not just saving money, you are drastically reducing the fuel footprint required to keep you fed.
In Research Report #253, we explore the transition from being a consumer to becoming a steward. Stewardship starts with the soil. When you plant a garden, you are stepping out of a system that relies on high-energy transport and into a system that relies on the natural intelligence of the earth. It is a simple, powerful shift in frequency.
Generosity and the Pātaka
A garden is a living system of abundance. If you find yourself in a position to grow more than you need, we encourage you to use that extra to strengthen your community. You might choose to sell your surplus at a local market, share it over the fence with your neighbours, or place it in a community pātaka (food pantry).
In the Woven Universe, resources are meant to flow. When you share from your garden, you are strengthening the Whanaungatanga of your rohe. You are ensuring that the life force (Mauri) of the land benefits everyone, making the entire community more resilient and connected.
Aligning with the Maramataka
Timing is the key to a high-frequency garden. For those of us in Taitokerau, this coming weekend (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday) is an exceptional window for planting. As the moon reaches its fullness, we enter the phase of Rākaunui and Rākau-matohi.
During these days, the energy of the moon pulls the Mauri upward into the plants, making it the perfect time to get seedlings into the ground. By aligning your mahi with the Maramataka, you are ensuring your garden is tuned into the cosmic rhythm of the land.
Direct Teaching: 2 Corinthians 9:10
The Source provides everything necessary for a successful harvest, from the informational code within the seed to the energy required to plant it.
2 Corinthians 9:10 (NKJV): Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness.
Direct Translation from the Greek (Ho de epichorēgōn sperma):
"Ko ia hoki e hōmai ana i te kākano ki te kaiwhakatō, me te taro hei kai, māna e hōmai, e whakatupu i ā koutou kākano e whakatō ai, e whakanui hoki i ngā hua o tō koutou tika."
(He who lavishly provides the seed to the one who plants, and bread for food, he will provide and cause your planted seeds to grow, and multiply the fruits of your right-standing). The Greek indicates that the supply is not just sufficient, but overflowing for those who participate in the act of planting.
The Karakia of the Soil
Before you begin your planting this weekend, use this simple Karakia to set your intention and align with the Mauri of the earth:
"E Io Matua, tēnei te rā kōpaki, tēnei te rā whakatō. Kia tōia mai te hihiri i te rangi, kia tōia mai te mauri i te whenua. He kākano iti, he hua nui kei roto. Tāiki e!"
(Pure Source, this is the day of covering, the day of planting. Draw down the radiant will from the heavens, draw up the life force from the earth. A small seed, with great fruit within. It is secured!)
Conclusion: Soil Sovereignty
You don't need a large farm to make a difference. Every seed planted in your backyard is a vote for a more local, more resilient future. Take advantage of the Maramataka this weekend in Taitokerau. Get your hands in the soil, reduce your reliance on fuel, and share the abundance with those around you.
