Primordial Powers: The Waters
Reading "Prelude to the Primordial" is essential for over-standing the intention of this series, and for loosening the structure of Western Programming.
The Primordial Element of Water is the sacred component through which all life springs. She carries the consciousness of healing, creation, restoration, gestation, fluidity, communication, and cleansing, amongst countless other nuances.

History of a Water Planet:
In my traditional world view (and most peoples indigenous to the Americas), this being is a Water Planet from which land mass protrudes. Turtle (an ancient aquatic-land animal) Island is a safe haven for its original indigenous occupants; the people whose land and heritage was stolen and sold.
In Ancient Sumer, their perspective was that when the God Enki visited Earth, he spent 2,000 years in the Oceans before he came to the land. He did this so that he could make contact with, and develop a trust with the highest consciousness on the planet. At the time (aquatics held this rank. Enki asked the aquatics for permission to continue his exploration of this planetary body on land. Early depictions of Enki show him as half-man, half-fish.
Today, modern science corroborates that dolphins and whales are some of the most intelligent species on the planet. Just think of their ability to communicate sonically, sending their transmissions of thought and emotions across miles of water.
Let’s travel to the Dogon tribe of Mali in West Africa. Here, we encounter a people whose existence and astronomical lore goes back as far as 3200 BCE. The Dogon’s world-view too denotes a presence of water beings called the Nommos, whom the Dogon believe brought civilization to Earth. These beings, along with dwelling in the water (they are drawn with dolphin-like tails), have heads that are depicted above water, indicating that they could also breathe in fresh air.
The Dogon’s also had astronomical information (like the location and orbit of the star system Sirius) that modern science only caught up to (and verified) in the early 20th century.
How could such a “primitive” civilization have such knowledge? I encourage you to empower yourself by doing your own research.
The Uros indigenous peoples of Lake Titicaca have a similar creation story like the Dogons, Sumerians, Peruvians, Indigenous Americans, and many other original peoples.
If you resonate more with Darwin’s theory of evolution, he too acknowledges that humankind evolved from sea creatures.
*many of these peoples also believe that these aquatic beings came from other star systems and seeded the planet upon their arrival. A conversation for another time.
How is it that civilizations that are separated by great bodies of water, are able to maintain key elements in all their creation views? Something to let gestate.
Inner Waters
The first water we come in contact with is the water of the womb. It’s in the abyss of our mother’s belly that we take form. Here, we have our first moments of communication with the divine (in this life) and gestate in our mother’s nourishing waters. Fully submerged in the realm that she’s created.
Have you ever spoken with your mother to hear your conception + birth story? You can learn a lot about your innate relationship with water this way. Be open to receiving the wisdom in the symbolism of the time of day, circumstance, and feelings your mother had during her pregnancy. These components clue you into the deep emotional imprinting that was present.
The emotional state of your mother during pregnancy has a lifelong impact. It imprints your unconscious disposition and acts as the emotional, spiritual, mental, and even physical foundation that you are birthed upon.
How effectively are you able to regulate your emotions today? Are you still unconsciously playing out the imbalances of your mother? Her mother? See how this resonates.
For me, I can straight up tell you, my womb waters were murky. Unplanned pregnancy, generations of programming and emotional unintelligence definitely impacted my mother and therefore became the water container that I gestated in.
It’s only recently that I’ve been able to see the results of healing my relationship with water. Since 2014 I’ve been on this journey of remembrance and rectifying my lineage. Knowing that I carry 3 generations of eggs in my womb and the remembrance that my lineage is my responsibility. After all, the mitochondrial DNA is only passed through the mother. Therefore I know that in healing myself, my womb… in clearing my waters, I provide my lineage with the best space and conditions to portal through.
Healing my relationship with the Divine Mother, impacted my relationship with my Birth mother. During my adolescence I was largely estranged from her. We were polar opposites. Yet today, our relationship is stronger than ever. We’re now at a place where we travel this road together. Trust me, this was no easy feat, (to hear more of this journey pt. 2)
Let’s stay with this cellular theme:
Japanese author and scientist Masaru Emoto conducted several experiments where he documented water holding memory. During his experiments, he spoke words of empowerment into glasses containing different types of water. He said things to the effect of “I love you, you’re beautiful, Love, harmonious, healing, hydrating”. To other glasses he spoke words of dis-empowerment. He said things to the effect of “you’re ugly, you make me sick, I will kill you, I hate you, you aren’t healing, you are an annoyance” etc. Later, he examined the molecules of both waters. The water that he spoke life into, formed crystallized molecules that were harmonious, aligned, and consisted of beautiful fractals. The water that he spoke death into had molecules that were chaotic, disharmonious and appeared to be distressed.
Vision Holding:
From these experiments and the examples that I’m sure you have to draw from in your own life, we can see that attention to intention goes a long way in manifesting our reality. Personally, I like to start my day with two glasses of water that I program with my intentions. I say things like “You are healing, I love you, thank you for hydrating my cells, thank you for nourishing my body, strengthening my spine and holding vast amounts of light” I even pick a word that I intend to embody that day and speak it into the cup. Upon consumption, I instantly feel the electric charge in my water as it courses through the highways of my internal realms and etheric light. I also program the waters of my showers and baths.
For now, I feel it’s important to focus on mastering The Waters of our Lives. Mastering and managing our frequency from moment to moment by being conscious of what we hold within the waters of our own bodies. Utilizing our awareness in our teas, tinctures, and baths.
The research has been done, now is time for integration through application.
