The Great Spirit of the Peony

Channel: 05/17/2026

Introduction: Greetings and welcome to Gaia Translate, everyone. This is your host and channel, Tracy Shoolman. Peonies always take my breath away. I just can’t help but stop and admire them whenever I see them blooming in my neighbor’s gardens or yards or anywhere I’m walking. And usually I’ll stop and, if it’s all right I go and photograph their blooms while they’re still in season, as their season is short, so it’s sort of a short, amazing moment of expression. While I was staring through the lens of my camera recently, I all of a sudden felt guided to channel The Great Spirit, the energy field, of the Peony-light. A transcript is available in the show notes for this episode at Gaiatranslate.com.  

Great Spirit of the Peony: We greet you. We are that which is in physical form, that which vibrates with the Great Spirit of the Peony. We would seek to inquire of the Channel what it is you understand about the nature of the peony, as you are willing to indulge us. 

Channel: Greetings and welcome, Great Spirit of the Peony. I am not expert at gardening. However, my observations are that the peony is an incredibly beautiful and large bloom that is also, from the perspective of other flowers, somewhat shorter lived or expressed. 

Great Spirit of the Peony: That is accurate. Continue please, as you are willing, daughter.  

Channel: I have also observed that the peony flower, when it is in bloom, is so large and beautiful that sometimes the weight of the bloom bends the stalk and it's just simply top-heavy, I guess. And that is one of the other aspects of the nature of the peony I have observed.  

Great Spirit of the Peony: That too is accurate, daughter. We would observe a few traits of our own. The peony has and is much admired in your species, and that is accepted. We are cultivated in many of the patches of soil or the gardens of those who find themselves in appropriate climates. Although that we would acknowledge is also shifting. 

We would like to suggest that there are systems and constructs that are part of various societies and cultures that are in the fullness of their own cycle of their own Peony nature. You have heard of the fall of the Roman Empire. That was a beautiful peony called forth by that which is the gardeners of a particular point in your history, daughter. Gardeners of society, gardeners of government. And yet, did you not also observe that there was a point where the weight of the construct became too great to be supported by that which was required in its own soil of expression?  

Channel: Yes, thank you.  

Great Spirit of the Peony: There are many of your societal constructs, not only in one part of the plane of this existence, that know themselves no longer able to sustain the epic of the season of their full bloom. 

We are not wishing any evil upon you. We are simply observing that many of your constructs also may know themselves. How did you express it, daughter? Yes, top-heavy, as top-heavy. And that which is the society, the collective, the population has and is no longer able to support the great weight of the construct. And so it has and fades.  

If one was to admire the physical peony in one's garden, understanding our nature in some aspects, you would admire it greatly and appreciate its beauty all the more for the shortness of its season. You would not, or many, seek to keep the wilted flower head as it turns brown and rots upon the stem as that which you would continue to admire or to cut and place in a vase within your home. We believe you would, as some do, remove the spent flower bud and simply allow that which is the potential for new growth as the season has and requires it. From our point of perspective, sons and daughters of Eve, and the Channel, asks us to acknowledge we speak of the human collective, not of a particular religious construct. And that is accurate. We observe that there are many points in the geography of this plane, many of your own governmental constructs, your societies that no longer bloom but fade, such in the manner that they are unable to be and continue to be held up by that which is the stem of those who are of your populations.  

It is an observation we make, and we invite those who are willing to acknowledge that as beautiful, as spectacular, and as fragrant as the bloom of the peony may be in the height of its season, it is not that which is an endless season of blossom for our expression or any other in this plane. Is it not wise or discerning to observe with some care which peonies, which aspects of your own cultures and systems, societal constructs, and systems of governing are already drooping and are no longer in the fullness of their blossom. Many of you seek to hold on to that whose season has and is passed or passing. And we simply invite you to turn again to that image and analogy we offer. All has and is transient, and you may enjoy and experience the bloom of any number of thought forms that have been called into manifestation in this plane, either born directly of the Gaia, or created through your own willing intent. And yet even those have a season of bloom and fade. We're not suggesting that all has and the petals of this or that society will drop in one fell swoop from the stem of their resource. 

We would however suggest that when it is the fade of a particular blooming, there is nothing that can honestly be done to stay the passing of its season of full expression in form. We do not dictate. We simply offer this small observation. And there are those individuals and entire cultures who would, we feel, rather breathe the stench of the disillusion of that which has passed its season of bloom, would rather remain and bear witness to the release of each and every petal of construct and system as they have and fall away, as they are no longer able to be sustained by that which called them into bloom to begin with, yes?  

Many who have and are what they would understand as a part of the actual flower of this or that societal construct are most unwilling to know themselves as that whose time, whose season is no longer in alignment. That does not keep them from shriveling or turning into that which holds no life force. It does not hold them in a place that all who have and support it. We draw the analogy of your various societies as the stems that hold up these great flowers of your own constructs that you have and call forth at this or that epoch of your own expression as a species in this small plane.  

It is timely, we would suggest to fully embrace the aspect of the Peony nature of all that is called forth into this plane through the will of the human awareness and through that which is the will of Gaia. You may ignore the season as it has turned. You may deny it. You may hide your eyes and wish it was not so. And yet the only manner in which a new season and a beautiful new bloom of the peonies born of the human will may know themselves in the fullness of their expression has and is requisite upon the full and willing release of all that has and is no longer viable in flow.  

We have and offer this small wisdom that we as the Spirit of the Peony are aware of the power of that which is a mighty bloom and the relation that which is a great and mighty bloom is not always that which is in the fullness of its vitality for extended season as you would perceive it. The blessing we would seek to serve you, each and all at this place of our attunement, is the blessing of willingness to hold with great love and joy admiration and acknowledgement that there is much of your own construction that no longer is able to support those you have and support it, and therefore, is it not timely, brothers and sisters, to open the hands of your will fully and allow the natural cycle of reclamation and of rebirthing to fully commence. 

It is this song we sought to serve from the throat of our heart. We acknowledge that it is not always easy to watch that which you had held a great love for find itself in the season of its reclamation, be it a flower, be it an entire system of government, a belief system or any other construct that has been called forth through the will and intent of one or another of your species. 

There are many who planted the peonies of this or that design and these have been, if you do not mind us observing, past the season of their bloom and they with bowed heads are losing their petals and have been so for some time. Do not fret that if you fully release and allow the natural flow of life to be unabated that there will not be a new bloom. That would not be in attunement with all that has and flows in and out of a form upon the currents of the energies of that which is the constant transformation and season of embodiment and release … embodiment and release … embodiment and release.  

We feel that this analogy born of our own nature is useful and we offer prayers of profound gratitude for the blessing of the willing receivership of this discernment of what aspects of your own cultures and governmental constructs that have and know themselves vibrating with their own Peony nature and for many the season of their bloom has passed. We appreciate the willingness of the Channel to open the doors of her heart and to set her judgment aside and allow this rather unusual song to flow without encumbrance and so we have and would seek to take our leave and to offer each and all of your systems, your constructs and your distortions the blessings of Godspeed as you have and are so willing to stand in the light of that which is the season of rebirthing that is upon you. 

Channel: Blessings and profound gratitude, Great Spirit of the Peony. Thank you for your guidance, your wisdom and your grace. I am honored to receive it. 

Great Spirit of the Peony: You are welcome, daughter. We have and take our leave.
