At her purest and clearest, your Womb has the ability to be your Oracle.
Let’s explore the etymology of Oracle:
late 14c., "a message from a god expressed by divine inspiration through a priest or priestess," in answer to a human inquiry, usually respecting some future event, from Old French oracle "temple, house of prayer; oracle" (12c.) and directly from Latin oraculum, oraclum "divine announcement, oracle; place where oracles are given," from ōrare "to pray to, plead to, beseech
Your Womb is more than a physical organ.
Yes, she is a space for physical creation, but she is too a conduit to the Divine, a gateway to spiritual transformation, and a source of intuition & ancestral knowledge.
The Womb is your sacred center.
I find it interesting that the etymology for Womb lists the word Heart:
Old English wamb, womb "belly, bowels, heart, uterus," from Proto-Germanic *wambo (source also of Old Norse vomb, Old Frisian wambe, Middle Dutch wamme, Dutch wam, Old High German wamba, German Wamme "belly, paunch," Gothic wamba "belly, womb," Old English umbor "child"), of unknown origin.
The connection between the Womb and the Heart is profound, spanning both physiological and spiritual dimensions.
Physiologically, they are intertwined through a complex network of nerves, hormones, and energetic pathways.
For instance, the vagus nerve acts as a crucial conduit, relaying signals between the heart, brain, and reproductive organs. This intricate communication system fosters a dynamic relationship between our emotional and reproductive functions, impacting aspects such as mood and menstrual cycles.
Exploring the physiological and spiritual bond between the Womb and the Heart allows for a deeper journey into the realm of Womb wisdom and intuition.
This intricate interplay between our emotional and reproductive systems lays the foundation for a beautiful connection to our inner wisdom.
To do Womb work is to do Heart work. To do Heart work is to do Womb work.
When I am connecting to my Womb, it most often feels like I’m connecting to my Heart—as if the two are one, or indistinguishable from one another. This lets me know that whatever is affecting one indeed affects the other.
As we delve further into the Womb as Oracle, it’s worth pausing to reflect on our own experiences.
Consider a time when you felt a strong resonance with your inner wisdom—what signs or messages did your Womb or Heart convey to you?
Taking a moment to explore these themes can offer valuable insights into the power of Womb consciousness in our lives.
All over Earth right now, the Wombs of women are calling out to be heard once again.
To be tended to with devotion and care.
To be remembered as their role as Oracle.
I answered the call from my own Womb in 2017. She was being poorly treated, and I had no connection to her at all.
This was the year my life completely changed. It was like a door flung open, and a light switch flipped on in the dark room that was my inner world.
Suddenly illuminated was all the ways I had abandoned myself, and the messes laying untouched and unclean.
Begging for my attention.
Begging to be seen.
2017 was the year I began awakening to the truth of my Soul. The year I decided I would not play the victim anymore. It was a full on spiritual awakening.
On a Spring day in May after an abusive encounter, I abruptly left a relationship who’s story told the classic tale of Narcissist & Empath. For months I ignored every sign given to me to leave. And with each ignore, the signs would get louder, and the relationship would get worse.
During this time I was also taking hormonal birth control, thinking it was okay to try and control my body’s natural cycle with these pills.
So there was that, along with being intimate with a man who was not only emotionally (and physically the day I had left) harming me, but energetically harming my Womb.
She was suffering, as was I.
This relationship was a reflection of how I felt about myself at the time. From the ages 18-21 I was going through a lot in terms of finding who I was as a woman, and navigating a lot of internalized ‘daddy issues’ from childhood and my teenage years.
Not knowing at all my spiritual gifts or the power I had within, I deemed myself small and unworthy of a love that was true. And so what I told myself—whether it be unconscious or not, is what I received in this relationship.
Let’s travel backwards a bit more.
Two months prior to this life changing event, it was March, and I had opened up an Etsy shop called Of Earth & Sea.
This was the first stage of my Entrepreneurial journey. I feel doing this is what truly gave me the full confidence and push to step into my power and right my relationship with my Womb.
For my Etsy I was working with crystals and herbs. I was being guided on how to heal my womb from the damage caused by hormonal birth control. I began crafting tea blends, oils, and creating crystal jewelry for healing and adornment.
I was ready to break up with birth control and go all in with my Womb healing journey. One door led to the opening of the next, and I was shown a world filled with answers I had not realized I’d been seeking.
Fast forward back to May.
I knew the best thing I could do for my Womb was leave this relationship, but U felt trapped. How could I be on a Womb healing journey while still living with someone who was destructive for me in all ways?
The encounter that prompted me to finally call it quits, I feel it was spiritually orchestrated.
Finally, I did what I was being told to do for so long now. I left, and never looked back.
I was welcomed into my Aunt’s home, and this is where my real healing work began.
Before I had been suppressing the voice of my Womb for so long, but now she was fully free to speak. There was no one there to silence her, and it was liberating,
And my goodness, how she yelled, how she purged.
The excruciating pain I experienced during my first few bleeds after removing hormonal birth control from my life is something I will never forget.
It lasted many cycles.
Nothing softened the pain.
I felt like I was doomed for life.
I had to listen to every cramp. Moaning in pain in bed, in the bath. Apologizing to my body. How I had harmed her, how I had let her be harmed.
But now I was listening. Now I was ready to be led by my Womb—my Oracle.
I allowed her guide my steps in Womb healing.
Though her I was given ways to physically heal, as well as emotionally—because wow was my Heart going through it. It was many moons of emotional ebbs and flows.
As a lover of research, I was also online and in books reading as much as I could that resonated and would be a helpful guide for my journey.
I was in deep bubble.
Trying new things to aid my healing journey such as psilocybin for the first time after years of looking into it and saying to myself when the time is right I know they’ll come into my life and call me.
That us exactly what happened.
They called to me, and the way they opened my Heart and helped me see that the love I was pining for in boys from my youth was to fill a hole left from growing up without a Father’s love.
And this pain was deeper than my own, it was generational. Not manifesting the same in each descendant who carried it, but there was a thread woven through us all that carried the energy of this pain. I knew I had to work with this.
I was shown that this emptiness I felt since I was a child cannot be filled by another.
I was told to remember that despite what my life has shown me, I am whole and deeply loved.
I was guided to the totality of all that is, and I felt love that was beyond this human experience. It helped me begin to view my life completely different.
This journey with mushrooms is a story of its own.
I sobbed with a smile on my face and my Heart feeling so large. I remember I went live on Instagram for the first time in the middle of this journey to talk about the truth of love and what the mushrooms were showing me.
Mushrooms are too an Oracle, and they have a deep connection to the womb space. These incredible teachers have been a huge catalyst in my journey as a woman, and a Mother.
My then 21-year young self greatly required the teachings I received from mushrooms, and I am grateful for all that I was opened up to and continue to learn from them to this day.
I look back at this year and I know it was a quantum leap.
A month after my experience with mushrooms, and being all in on healing from all of these things that were coming up through my Womb, my partner—the father of my child, my Love of many lifetimes came back into my life (we went to high school together and had a beautiful summer of love after we graduated, only to move away from each other and not speak for 3 years).
We have been inseparable ever since, doing huge healing together. Building a healthy, solid but simultaneously fluid foundation together for ourselves and for our sweet Daughter.
Had I not purged my Heart & Womb and made space for this new version of myself to allow her to be my Oracle, I feel my life would be completely different today.
My Womb would not have allowed my Love to re-enter my life.
Your Womb is a sacred key holder who has many secrets she wants to give to you.
She holds the keys to every door you may walk through in order to quantum leap into the next stage of your evolution, while simultaneously holding the blockages and imbalances that are keeping you from turning the keys and unlocking the doors.
It’s fascinating, truly.
I had to slow down and greet her with respect and love. Our world has been moving at a fast-paced speed that has caused women to lose their natural connection to the innate wisdom pulsating within each of us through the Womb.
If we allow ourselves to pause, breathe, and listen, we can hear the whispers of our Womb guiding us, offering insights and revelations that can transform our lives.
I’ve been on a journey with my Womb for the past 7 years, and I am contionusly learning more about myself, my lineage, and the world by connecting with her in various ways such as through self-massage, and breathwork & meditation specifically tailored to connecting my Heart & Womb.
These practices have allowed me to tap into ancient wisdom stored within me, unlocking profound truths and giving me the ability to heal deep seeded wounds that have carried through my Motherline such as what I was holding within towards the Masculine.
Your Womb will speak to you in Dreamtime, through synchronicities experienced during waking life, in meditation, etc.
Her voice is unique and it’s up to you to learn her language and become fluent in it so that she may guide you.
She will show you many truths, bring you face to face with pain that lies deep within your DNA that has the possibility to be transmuted and alchemized into medicine that will guide you forward as potent wisdom.
She will take you back into the stories of your Motherline—showing you not only pain but also so much joy. There is more within us than Ancestral trauma, for there is lots of Ancestral bliss, miracles, and magick waiting to be touched upon and released into the world through you.
Your Womb will connect you to the Cosmic Mama, and to her Daughter—our beloved Earth.
She is a trip, literally.
What she has in store for you is unique, limitless, and exactly what you need in order to walk a path of power and truth.
All of the questions you have about yourself and your experienced reality can be answered through working with her.
All the atrocities you see that are taking place in the external world, you can go within your Womb to find out how and where these stories take place within you, and she will help you heal and transform these stories.
She will show you the true meaning of ‘as within, so without’.
All women deserve to know the true power of their Womb as Oracle. Her guidance continues to make me a stronger soul-led Wombman & Mama who knows her power and role as Divine Creator.
After sharing my journey of awakening to the wisdom of my womb, I invite you to consider your own connection to Womb consciousness.
Reflect on the stories passed down through your matrilineal lineage and how they shape your understanding of ancestral knowledge. This may offer profound insights into your personal journey of healing and transformation
As we walk our individual paths and come together in sisterhood, may we remember the sacred wisdom pulsating within our wombs, guiding us with each beat of our Hearts.
Let us honor the voices of our Ancestors and the whispers of our intuition, knowing that within us lies the power to heal, transform, create, and destroy.
May we walk with reverence for the Cosmic Mama above, and her Daughter Earth beneath our feet, embracing our role as Creative Rulers and stewards of the divine feminine.
With each step forward, may we continue to unlock the secrets of our Womb as Oracle, illuminating the path to our truest selves and the infinite possibilities that await.

YES YES YES. Found myself nodding throughout this entire piece. This drips in ancient wisdom — your self work shows in these words. What a blessing to open ourselves up to our wild, wise wombs — a powerful manifestation of the Great Mother that resides in all women. Thank you for writing this ✨💗🌹
