Back in November, I was contacted by a Goddess I had never heard of before. There isn’t even much about her online, at least not under the name she originally gave me, although there are a few references to her as Tei Tituaabine and Nei Tituaabine. Most of the information I can find calls her a Tree Goddess or a Nature Goddess, but she has this element of lightning (inspiration) that makes her much more dynamic than those terms would imply. The myths tell of her being a gorgeous, red-skinned goddess with blue eyes that flash like lightning. When she was unable to bear children (or bear fruit), it is said, she withered and died, and three trees grew from her grave – a coconut palm (a fruit that remedies systemic imbalances in the body; the tree symbolic of connection with inspiration) from her head, an almond  (a yoni-shaped fruit that balances blood sugar) from her navel, and a pandanus (a tree with above-ground roots, central to the local economy, whose flower is used for making a ritual beverage) from her heels. There is an alternate mythos of her being a lightning deity who grows trees where she strikes. She is specific to the Gilbert Islands, which is one of the areas of the world that is literally disappearing due to the rising sea levels.

The themes of her energy that I pick up on as I get to know her revolve around coming up with creative ideas about how to change what we are doing to the environment. She has been getting progressively louder, and I will likely be posting some channeled information from her in the near future, so I thought I would give you guys a bit of an introduction first.

If you have questions for Titua’Abine, feel free to leave them in the coments and I will do my best to have her answer them in a subsequent post.
