Gaea's

The Earth Goddess (Gaia, Gaea, Ge) was the protogenos (primeval divinity) of earth, one of the primal elements who first emerged at the dawn of creation, along with air, sea and sky. She was the great “Mother of All”. The heavenly gods were descended from her union with Ouranos (the sky), the sea gods from her union with Pontos (the sea), the Gigantes from her mating with Tartaros (the hell-pit). Several mortal creatures were sprung or born from her earthy flesh.

Gaea is the name given her by the people of ancient Greece who worshipped her as the giver of dreams and the nourisher of plants and young children. The Romans called her Terra, Tellus, or earth mother. She was the eldest of all beings and the invulnerable, eternal goddess who was brought rich blessings to both the Upper- and the Underworld. Gaea has been known throughout human history as the patron goddess of all living beings on Earth.  She is the embodiment of the spirit of life, growth, harvest and renewal. Gaea is no longer worshipped or thought to be real in the monotheistic cultures of the present day.  However, whether people believe her to be real or not, when people refer to Mother Nature or Mother Earth, they are speaking about Gaea.

Is it coincidence, a warning? Is Gaea (Mother Nature) in distress trying to tell us something or merely just case of seeing what you want to see? A few weeks ago the Metro (UK) published the amazing picture of a ‘crying face’. It is revealed in an ice cap located on Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago in Norway.

 The metro reported  ”A melting glacier has amazingly taken on the form of a face – and some think it shows Mother Nature in tears at the state of our planet.”

 The stunning image shocked onlookers who felt the vivid pattern in the melting glacier looked like teary-eyed nature staring straight at them in a foreboding manner.

The ‘tears’ were created by a waterfall of glacial water falling from one of the face’s ‘eyes’.

I can’t help but feel moved by the above picture and feel that there is a power higher than ourselves really trying to tell us its time to take the world we live in a little more seriously. Often people I meet or consult with ask for signs that are irrefutable. How much more ‘in your face’ do you need the message to be from Mother Nature before we take the abuse of our planet seriously?
