I literally never asked to be a Womb Sweeper. Never would have *known to ask. I’m not even entirely sure how I got roped into the situation in the first place, tbh.
I spent many a moon resisting, not understanding, downplaying, and straight hiding!
I’d never heard other humans speak of this stuff. I’d never heard anyone refer to Wombwork at the time. I did NOT get it whatsoever, and honestly, I had no interest. Meddling in my wombspace was the least of my concerns and the last thing on my mind. I didn’t even know what that meant, anyway.
But they worked me and wouldn’t let up, my Guides.
They took me years on my own Womb Clearing journey and then when I asked to know my Ancestry as far back as I could go, they took me straight on through all the way to my pre-human Ancestors…
First, Yemaya came, along with Olokun – in this expression they were inseparable – as the Ocean and the Container of the Ocean. Yemaya, Creatrix of Life, couldn’t be without the loving consistent foundation of Olokun, the Ocean Floor. They first came in my dreams and I began downloading lessons every night about our origins as humans and biological lifeforms, and the role of Womb in it all – on Earth and beyond.
From there I met others. Oshun. More Ancestors. I never knew of the existence of such things until they “happened to” me.
It was during this period I was given the name Astara in meditation, which is actually more of a description than a name, but I wouldn’t know that for a while…
The lessons got most thick when I met the Nommo.
She also came first in my dreams, in that water that was Yemaya who taught me about our earliest origins on this planet. I sincerely thought the merbeing was just a random dream, a silly thing at that. I remember posting about a playful mermaid visiting me in my dreams. I took in her lessons anyway, processed them, shared about them.
Then she started coming when I was awake.
This was before the world went woowoo – at least in my sphere, before I knew about aliens, before I even knew humans are multidimensional beings. None of what was happening was within my (3D) science-based paradigm.
For a time, I was constantly flooded with downloading information teaching me about quantum theory, cellular biology, astronomy, cymatics, and more. Even my focus and capacity for cognition became dilated. I have hundreds of pages of recorded information, deep science I never could know consciously, and I couldn’t explain how this was happening!
At the same time, my business partner had experienced a past life regression that allowed him to recover knowledge of hypnosis processes used by one of his former selves as a midwife to help women have unmedicated pain-free births.
Soon, he applied his techniques on me, and we began gathering information from this mermaid that kept showing up in my dreams and now was connecting with me while I was awake.
The first time we called the Nommo into the Trancework Journey (hypnosis), I met a Dogon priest, was introduced to Sirius as our Grandmother who loves us more than I could contain in my human body, connected her to Orion, and was given lessons about sound alchemy and cellular biology and lots more, all toward a system they taught me called Thought Medicine. Ultimately, she, the Nommo, gave me an astral map that would allow me to interface with my own and others’ electrical bodies in order to rewire, clear energy blocks, and explore cellular memory for any purpose, including data mining, such as what allowed my partner to develop a hypnosis process from his recovered past life memories. This map allows us (anyone) to access and unlock the information of our DNA to free ourselves from epigenetic damage – to restore as we choose, according to our original blueprint.
I was still utterly steeped in 3D consciousness when that session happened. I didn’t understand any of it back then. It was my third Trancework Journey, and I had met Ancestors and visited past lives in the previous two experiences. The Journeys were incredible, but my science-minded self explained it all as parts of my subconscious communicating with me, which is completely cool and helpful in itself, anyway. So on I went to explore the symbols I’d received in this strange, third Journey.
At the time, I didn’t know about Sirius, Orion, the Dogon, Nommos – I didn’t know aliens were real, I didn’t know people were much more than our bodies, other than some vague sense of intuition. I was always very intuitive, but even that could be explained with science, easy.
So when I was researching and found men wearing the exact same uniform I’d seen in my Trancework Journey – a uniform that was specific to a certain ritual dedicated to Sirius by the Dogon – I was floored. I was floored even more – the most – when I saw the connection between the Dogon, Sirius, and the Nommo – merbeings that I later learned were said to have come here a very long time ago to teach the humans many things, and also that they’d brought us our water here on this planet. The Dogon have intact records of this in Mali to this day, and the information is also embedded into their cultural cosmology – and untampered with, much unlike our more familiar Western narratives. Thousands years old cave drawings exist to this day that describe all of this and more, in great detail.
Still today, I have a hard time accepting what I experienced with my complete mind. But literally the only way to explain this was that I’d met an alien. And that alien was in constant communication with me. As I looked up the science she taught me, I was more floored. The level of complexity was ridiculous, but the craziest thing is that it was accurate. Everything I’d downloaded, I could find resources for – cross-referenced, from the most reputable sources – from the most ancient of records and human Stories, even.
This literally did not compute in my brain at the time and I proceeded to go into deep shock. I didn’t know how to process how I was receiving this information. I would soon go through the deepest and most profound ego death I’ve ever experienced. It would be nearly a solid year before I felt I could function in the world again. Thank god I was self-employed by then, because I would have surely lost my job and most likely been locked up in the ward. I was straight dysfunctional.
Over time, the information my partner and I were both downloading, we brought it all together and created a modality called Akashic Trancework, with the Akashic City being our primary astral map – the map the Nommo, now affectionately called Nami, provided me in our very first Journey.
As our work and understanding refined, we drew people into our lives that had similar experiences. I don’t know if I could have ever fully recovered if I didn’t see how much this was happening all over the globe. Same beings, same messages, all happening isolated – people were not communicating these things to each other, but they were happening side by side regardless. And everyone felt alone and confused in it.
I soon realized a planetary awakening was happening. Gaia was and is moving into another level of physicality, and it all happens through us – her brain cells. WE are moving into another level of physicality. One where we are no longer exclusively third dimensionally aware, but rather where we can exist as physical beings, enjoying all the things the stars came here to experience as human souls – but with the awareness of our larger selves intact all the while.
Over time, I began to see my role in it all, that I am to help others process their own awakenings and enter into a human experience that is fluidly multidimensional – not to transcend the 3D, but to integrate it with our wider levels of awareness. I say wider, because I was shown there is no “higher” in the way most humans mean. It is simply a matter of scale of perspective. The single-celled creature to the human creature to the planetary creature, to the solar system, to the galaxy, and on and so forth literally infinitely as far as we humans can estimate. It is all relative, and it is all parts of itself at different levels of perception.
Over the years, it’s been almost 5 now, I was taught the importance for all of us to allow these senses to open at this time, and how necessary it is to clear our inherited muck to expand in the way we are going to expand now. (Womb Sweeping)
More than anything, this is actually about reanchoring our bodies into Gaia, our larger Body. Due to religion and other false paradigms created to limit and control us to harvest us, we have been disconnected from our own selves. Collectively, we do not know our bodies as the Wisdom Keepers. We demand of them, torture them, disrespect them for not doing as we please according to some ridiculous fake-male commercialized cultural standard.
We have lost sight of the fact that we are sovereign beings, and the only real authority to us is us. Literally NO external being is an authority to us by nature. Not even Source Itself, because we must choose to Surrender, and by NTR, we *always have that choice. That is the sickest part of false matrices that exploit human spirituality, the human’s innate call back to One. If we are lied to, it violates our inherent right to choose – the only consistent law across the Cosmos. Choice always *is and is *how everything is…except when we don’t get to choose from a pure version of truth. Nothing violates NTR balance more deeply.
Nami taught me this: that we must remove our energetic anchors from trust in patriarchal dominance hierarchies and the psychology that is necessary to maintain them, and we must return our trust to our bodies. To Earth. To Nature. To the Cosmos. And to recognize all of these as extensions of our Selves – our expanded Self with which we are directly connected.
She’s also taught me the importance of this as the world around us is collapsing – or at least the systems in place that have been keeping us at 3rd dimensional awareness are collapsing (lots of intentional force and effort goes into keeping us at 3D vibe), and that will lead to many challenges of (opportunities to learn) healthy discernment, and knowing what to trust and where to find direction. Many may remove themselves from religion, for example, but then turn to other external sources for wisdom and understanding.
As the old authorities around us die off, we must realize and recognize that we are our only authority. We must clear and learn how to hear our Selves. We must know our bodies as our first gods again, our feminine cycle as The Great Timekeeper, Mother Earth as our larger body, and Grandmother Moon as the clock and calendar we’re meant to live by as humans. It is time to remember the relationship with Grandmother Moon and why it is so essential for the Bleeding Woman to understand and sync with, to guide her life and her Tribe by…
Because soon our discernment will be tested hard, and already it has been. The game is sharper than we are, because it is way way bigger than us. The strength we have as humans is to be sharp in our inner knowing and anchored into our larger bodies for expanded awareness that cannot be manipulated and persuaded by clever politics and sophisticated psy-ops. This real talk, yall.
These are the things “they” have taught me, anyway. My Ancestors, Yemaya, Oshun, Nami, and my Blood (but that’s a tale for another time). These are my primary Guides and also the foundation of the medicine I live and offer to those called to it. I bring in all this and infinitely more and hold sacred space to help women connect with their own Guides, inner Intelligence, to anchor into Mother Earth and her larger bodies, to know the wisdom of her own unique feminine cycle and how to ride it into her most aligned life. And mostly: to recognize herself as her own authority and best Guide, and to develop her own Cosmology through trust in her inner senses, because she knows she is connected to everything and everything is within She. After what I’ve seen, can’t nobody tell me differently….

ABOUT ASTARA
I created 13MOONS Magazine to resurrect the sacred feminine in Stories and Art. As a Seeress who’d worked directly with Oshun, Yemaya, Oya, and other earlier Goddesses, I noticed a stark difference in these energies and those of later iterations, such as Venus and Aphrodite. It is like parts of these beings were stripped away. Whether to fit the fashion of culture or men, I’ll leave for you to decide, but this just didn’t sit right with my spirit. And so I dreamed of a platform which would amplify the real voice of the feminine – Stories and Art created by actual women from our perspective, without apology. And here we are.
SUPPORT 13MOONS MAGAZINE!
I am called Astara, a name I received during meditation, meaning Little Sirius. I am here to draw down the energy of Ast, also known as Auset, Isis, and the latest: Mother Mary, truly just a hint of the Original anymore. I am here to Remember and to help Remind us of who we are as women, who we are beneath patriarchal whitewashing and power politics as religion. I am here to Remind us of the wisdom we hold within each of our cells which we have mistakenly (and blasphemously) called our meat suit. I am a Sensual Fluency Educator and Tranceworker, offering tools I’ve channeled from my own body to help you connect with yours. Reach out anytime if you’d like to hear more.
