Council of Gnomes Blog

After years of stimulating Barbara to wake up to the reality of the elemental beings that are the life force within the natural world of earth, air, fire, and water, Mano first introduced himself to her when she moved to the heart of a redwood forest. As she was walking through the forest he appeared within her imagination walking beside her. He spoke to her by putting his thoughts into her mind. Over the years this developed into Barbara’s recording of their conversations into the computer as they occurred. Now, many years and hundreds of pages later, he is able to communicate with the larger world through “HIS” blog.

The Past is Gone, The Future Just a Dream, The Only Time to Live and Love is Right Now

August 19, 2020 my Ben Lomond cottage burned to the ground in the Santa Cruz Fire. I am now living in the small apartment Jim and I owned in Capitola, California. I am so grateful to have this sweet small familiar space of refuge. One recent morning as I sat in bed I became aware of a group of the elementals that live in my cottage sitting in my lap. I was so happy to know that they escaped with me.

Traveling with a Troop of Gnomes

As I was packing to leave for Ireland Mano casually mentioned that he was sending some of the elementals who live in my house and on my land with me to visit “their homeland” in Ireland.

Hours later as I was pulling my suitcase through the airport, I became aware of five little gnomes walking behind me, each pulling a little suitcase behind them. I thought, gosh, it looks like this is really happening.

Hanging Out With Mother Nature

Last year Mano asked all of us to build a relationship with one particular place in nature.

I had tea with the redwood trees in the front yard. For the past seven years I have dedicated July and August to go daily to the Amphitheater and spend time with the Spirits of the Land.

I greet the Mother tree, a large redwood at the entrance. I open the computer and open my heart and sit with a quiet mind and release my imagination to see what impressions come into my consciousness.

One morning I was sitting on the ground drawing an ink/stick picture of a face in the tree. I was suddenly aware of 5 small gnomes standing in front of me. They were about 2 feet tall and looked me directly in the eye. I greeted them in love and asked them, who are you? “We are the keepers of the land. The ones who do all of the work around here.”
