Late at night when the moon is full and the sky is clear two mushroom guardians offer healing and wisdom to their nature spirit kin. These guardians receive cosmic insights from an amanita muscaria mushroom and they protect this mushroom very carefully. It is sacred to them. 

You may wonder what kind of guidance nature spirits would need if any? Sometimes they experience difficulties that are human-related as many humans don't have nature's best interests at heart. And so these nature beings seek advice from the mushroom guardians on how to best co-exist with humans and even how to communicate with them. 

Some humans can "hear" these beings in nature and this is helpful for the nature spirits. It allows them to pass on their wisdom and knowledge to the human world on how humans and nature can thrive together rather at the expense of one another. They wonder if you have ever heard their call? Is there a place in nature where your heart soars? If so, this might be a good place for you to start "listening" for them. Nature spirits don't necessarily communicate in the same way that we humans do. Their communication might show up as a feeling or an image or a sense of something in nature. Everyone has their own unique way of making this connection with nature and its beings. 

If you ever have some time to go out into nature, sit still or just take a slow walk; listen to nature's sounds, soak up all of its colour and feel what it feels like to be right where you are in nature. And one day you might surprise yourself with what you begin to discover.

I drew this piece in September 2023 by the sea at Red Rock in Sutton, Dublin, Ireland.  I had just been out on one of Bill O' Dea's mushroom foraging walks a few weeks before and I happened to come across my first amanita muscaria.  I had been hoping to see one for a very long time so I was thrilled to finally meet this mushroom.  I'm pretty sure that's why it unexpectedly made it's way into my drawing by the sea.
