Why I Call God, Grandmother

God_grandmother_OMTimesBy Nancy Oakes 

I was fortunate, because my grandmother, of Cherokee heritage, influenced my childhood. Only recently because of the ‘AWAKENING’ millions have begun searching for the truth of creation. Many are driven by a remembrance of their own ancient cultures and traditions. Grandmother was born in the Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee, She spoke in riddles, talked to bees and butterflies, and repeated the Cherokee stories about death and the journey of life. She taught me in certainty that life, and the soul, is a circle-never ending, and to not fear life or death.

“WE CAME FROM THE STARS,” GRANDMOTHER SAID

From a very young child, before 4 years old, I remember the look on the faces of my siblings, mother and relatives when my grandmother began to tell one of her stories, in a very low voice just above a loud whisper. The world stopped as we all leaned in close to hear what she was saying. Years later I recognized it was a shift in spiritual energy and we were entering a sacred space, just as the way one feels in a temple or traditional church when the energy changes. God’s presence rushes in likened to a welcoming of a very important guest in your home.

It was through her stories and the love for her family that I learned about God, although she never used that name for the Creator. Sometimes she would begin her story by reminding us that our ancestors came from a star system known forever as The Pleiades. The Cherokee called our home the Seven Sisters. The Great Mother/Father, she said, who created all living things, designed a plan to give a great gift to her new creation, her humankind-the womb. After all the plants, sea-creatures, flying creatures and other animals were in balance she looked around and very pleased, called it paradise. She instructed humankind whose bodies were both male and female at the time, just like her, to begin the transformation to populate paradise. Soon the plan was complete and humankind began to honor the gift of co-creation- the womb.
