The World's Wildness is Calling You Home Pt. 1

How the Soul Invites You Back to Yourself

Hello sweet souls,

Today is 13 E’—and what a day day to share this transmission with you.

E’ is the energy of the road, the path, the sacred journey. It is the spirit of the traveler—the one who moves forward with purpose, guided by something greater than the mind alone. E’ holds the energy of destiny unfolding, of forward movement that is both chosen and fated, both intentional and divinely orchestrated.

Thirteen is the highest number in the Mayan Sacred Calendar—the energy of full spiritual completion, of the ancestors and the spiritual realm walking directly beside you. When 13 meets E’, the message is luminous: you are being guided somewhere. The ancestors are with you on the road. You are not wandering. You are being walked home.

And so it feels deeply right to share this transmission today—because that is precisely what this is about. The world’s wildness, the falling apart, the dreams that reach for your hand in the night—all of it is the Soul using every available doorway to guide you back to yourself. To your truest home. To the life that has been waiting for you to remember it.

I have been walking this road for more than a decade—through every kind of falling apart, through the astral space, through the wisdom of the Mayan Sacred Calendar and the ancient Earth—and I have arrived somewhere I could not have imagined when I began.

In this (free) transmission—Part 1 of 2—I explore how the world’s wildness is not something happening to you. It is the Soul calling you home. I walk through the first two of the great callings: the great falling apart, when everything in your life dismantles at once and your relationships clear to make space for your Soul family, and the astral call, the heart of the sky reaching for your hand in the dream space through your Soul, your ancestors, your lineage, and your collaborating spirits.

Through my own Tower story—the losses, the crumbling, the relationship clearing—and through the dream that changed everything, I offer a new way to understand the disruption you may be feeling right now: not as punishment, but as the most precise and loving invitation you have ever received.

This is an invitation to stop asking why is this happening to me? and start asking where is my Soul trying to take me?

Listen to the transmission above and explore the show notes below. A cup of something warm is welcome. And remember, Part 2—the elemental call, the call from the heart of the Earth—arrives next week.

The ancestors are with you on the road, sweet soul. Every step.

Sending love, Maggie

Transmission: The World’s Wildness is Calling You Home Pt. 1

How the Soul Invites You Back to Yourself

Total Time: 00:28:48

In this transmission, the first of two parts, I explore how the world’s wildness—the collective chaos, the fear-based decisions rippling through our lives—is not something happening to you. It is the Soul calling you home. I walk through the first two of the great callings: the great falling apart, when everything in your life dismantles at once, and the astral call, the heart of the sky reaching for your hand in the dream space. Through my own Tower story—the losses, the crumbling, the relationship clearing—and through the dream that changed everything, I offer a new way to understand disruption: not as punishment, but as the most precise and loving invitation you have ever received.

Opening: The Collective Call

Start: 0:00:02

  • Central question: What if everything that feels like it’s falling apart right now—in the world, in your life, in your relationships—is actually the most precise and loving invitation you have ever received?

  • The world is loud. Decisions are being made from fear, not wisdom—and those decisions ripple through the collective like a current none of us asked to swim in

  • This collective disruption is not random. It is a call—a massive, undeniable call for the human to wake up and remember: you are not only human. You are also a Soul.

  • The trance of fear-based living is ending. Not quietly. Loudly. Chaotically. Because that is how trances end.

  • Part 1 covers the first two great callings: the falling apart and the astral call. Part 2 goes to the Earth and the elemental call.

Section 1: The Great Falling Apart

Start: 0:03:55

  • The Tower experience: when everything you built as the end-all-be-all begins to end all at once—relationships, careers, homes, purpose, health

  • Named for the Tower card in tarot: a structure struck by lightning, everything tumbling from it

  • My Tower Story: over three to four years, every kind of falling apart arrived like dominoes—parents died a year apart, estrangement from father with no reconciliation, seven years caring for mother through cancer

  • Professional purpose dissolved after two cookbooks and 25,000 people served

  • Marriage crumbling—and it was the first crumbs of the marriage falling that first called me inward, into energy study, consciousness work, indigenous wisdom

  • The home built with my own two hands: gone with the divorce. Most friends and professional associations disappeared overnight

  • Said to my therapist: “It doesn’t seem like life or relationships are supposed to be this hard”

Section 2: What the Falling Apart Did to My Relationships

Start: 0:09:20

  • The falling apart of relationships was the most pointed, the deepest cut of all of it

  • Some disappeared immediately—as if ancestors swept them from the table, no explanation, no unraveling, just gone

  • Others disappeared slowly—a gradual cooling, a growing distance neither could name or stop

  • A slate clearing brings you into deep, sometimes uncomfortable curiosity: who is left? Who is still standing? Who is actually available to me?

  • The one presence that never left, always available, always meeting me when I got quiet enough: my Soul

  • If your relationships are clearing right now—your ancestors may be saving you. The clearing is not punishment. It is preparation

  • The Altar this month: every transmission and gathering in March is devoted to relationships as mirrors — join us there

  • The Soul called me out of that old life and into an incubation chamber—to remember who I was before everything, even before I was born

  • If you are in the Tower: you are not being punished. You are being called

Section 3: The Astral Call

Start: 0:14:07

  • The heart of the sky calling you home—a term from Mayan cosmovision

  • The astral space is the dream space and, for deep meditators, the theta space—a portal to your multidimensional self

  • What ancient wisdom keepers have confirmed: when you are in the astral space, asleep or dreaming, that is reality. This waking life—the grocery store, the inbox, the news feed—is the dream

  • In the astral space you are not alone: your Soul, your higher self, your ancestors, your lineage, spirit guides, angels, and specific energies from the Mayan Sacred Calendar—all collaborating, all calling you home

  • If you have ever had a dream where someone is coming for you—a dark figure, a presence reaching for your hand—and you felt fear: that is most often your Soul coming to find you, coming to enlight you

Section 4: The Dark Figure Dream

Start: 0:17:40

  • For the last five years of the marriage: paralyzing nightmares—a dark figure lunging, hands reaching to strangle, a hand from under the bed holding me down. I could not speak, could not move

  • Once I left and moved into my own place, those nightmares stopped completely

  • Then one night in the new home by the sea, the dark figure came again—but differently. Sat beside me on the bed. Took my hand gently. Said: “Let me show you”

  • Taken through prophecies: the memoir being published, an editor saying “Do not worry about the timing. Just know that it is happening”

  • A gas station in the desert that morphed into a dance hall—a man who whisked me onto the floor: “That is how you will meet him”

  • Dream after dream of goodness arriving—the future revealing itself

  • Back in my bed, the figure finally visible: a woman. Her hand beside mine. The same cut in the same place

  • “I am not just you. I am your higher self. I am your Soul. You are finally free.”

  • You have to choose to believe it. I chose to believe me—and the more clients I meet, the more I hear the same dream reflected back

Section 5: The Sky Has Always Known

Start: 0:22:24

  • You have already survived your Tower. Or you are surviving it right now. Either way, you are still here

  • The falling apart was never the end of the story. It was the beginning of the real one

  • The astral space—your dreams, your ancestors, your higher self reaching for your hand—that is the heart of the sky calling you home

  • But the sky is only half of it. The Earth has been calling you too—in the pull toward the water, the woods, the fire, the breath, the stillness

  • Part 2 arrives next week: all five elements, each one a doorway back to yourself

  • The Altar is open: this month devoted entirely to relationships as mirrors—every transmission, every gathering designed to help you see more of yourself so you may be more of yourself — join us there

Closing Practice: Listening for the Call

Start: 0:25:38

  • Bring yourself into stillness—savasana on your mat or sitting with eyes closed and hands open

  • Sit with these questions:

    • Have I been in a great falling apart? Can I begin to see it as an invitation rather than a punishment?

    • What is the Tower dismantling in my life right now—and what might it be making room for?

    • Have I ever felt a presence in my dreams calling me toward something? What did it feel like?

    • What would change if I chose to believe that my Soul has been guiding me all along?

  • Notice what arises. Do not rush it. Just receive it

  • Part 2 — The Elemental Call — coming soon

Thank you for being here. I’ll be back again very, very soon.

Sending love,

Maggie
