Rooted in the Wild

She was not made
to be soft wind
nor silent river.
She is thunder wrapped in skin,
stone carved by the hands of time.

They called her wild—
but wild is not weakness.
Wild is root.
Wild is bone that remembers
where it comes from.

She walks with the earth’s memory
under her feet,
each step a prayer,
each breath a legacy.

In her blood
are the songs of grandmothers
who burned cedar and sang to the moon,
whose hands birthed nations
from nothing but hunger and hope.

She wears the sky like a cloak,
the stars whisper in her sleep.
When she raises her voice,
mountains bow.

She is the firekeeper,
the water walker,
the silence-breaker,
the protector of names
no one dared to speak.

And still—
they tried to erase her.
But how do you silence the wind?
How do you bury the roots
of the very land beneath your feet?

She is not gone.
She is not quiet.
She is rising—
with every drumbeat,
with every crow’s cry,
with every woman
who dares
to remember. nativeprintee.com

This is how birth should be, wild and fearless just like our ancestors did it!

Woman Gives Birth To Baby In Pacific Ocean Without Medical Help

A video clip of a woman from Nicaragua giving birth on the shoreline of Playa Majagual, Nicaragua went viral.

Josy Peukert and her partner Benni Cornelius drove to the beach in Playa Majagual, Nicaragua to deliver their son, Bodhi. Bodhi was born healthy at 3.5kg.

Peukert delivered her baby without medical help. The couple only had a birthing tool kit, including towels, a bowl with a sieve to catch the placenta, gauze, and paper towels.

Peukert explained the reason to give birth in the ocean:

I got this idea in my head I wanted to give birth in the ocean and because the conditions were right on the day that's what I did.

According to Daily Mail, Peukert talked about the experience:

After Bodhi was born and wrapped up in towels I went back into the ocean to freshen up. Then I got dressed and we packed everything up and drove home where the three of us got straight into bed.

After sharing her experience online, Peukert received divided comments about her choice to give birth in the sea.

However, Peukert, who is now a mother of four, stood by her decision:

Bodhi was born in the midday sun when it was about 35 degrees, we weren't worried at all that he'd be cold and I had no concerns about waterborne infections. He is perfectly healthy. I did all the research I needed to to make sure it was safe.

My first birth was traumatic in a clinic and my second birth was a home birth but by the third even a midwife in my home was too much. This time I had no doctors appointments or scans or outside influence.

We didn’t have a due date or deadline for the baby to arrive we just trusted that our baby would make its way. I had no fears or worries to welcome a new little soul into our lives, just me, my partner and the waves. It was beautiful.

Old photo of my son’s beautiful hair before my husband decided to shave it all off, without my permission. First and last picture with the hat on before I go to have a pro fix my emotionally charged hack job. Did you know that your hair strands hold memories and frequencies? Why do you think many cultures across the world historically cut or shaved their heads in times of great mourning, loss, trauma or tragedy? Shedding the pain and memories of the past and letting go of things, one of the practices done is to cut the hair or shave the whole body, depending on the culture and the beliefs. Some cultures even burn the hair that is cut off in a ceremony to give the pain and suffering to the Father or spirits. Honestly, I actually feel better since I chopped it off yesterday morning. It was a huge release for me. I have been mourning so much loss 🥀 and transition, it was time for me to sever that pain, like a rose sheds its petals. When you deadhead a 🌹 bush, it can grow more roses than it would if they were still clinging to the stems. Now to get the style to fit my face till it grows out again. Here’s to new beginnings and a better me! ✨💫🔥❤️🫶🏼 In memory of my lost baby, Serenity Rose Baladez 💐

🩸 Did you ever wonder why midwives are called criminal in the land of their grandmothers?
Why women are told birth is “too risky” without a license from men who’ve never bled?
Why catching babies in your hands is punishable, while cutting them from the womb is praised?
It’s not just regulation.
It’s not just oversight.
It’s a war on the design.

👁️ They say it’s for safety—but the numbers say otherwise.
They say it’s for the mother—but mothers say they were never heard.
They say it’s for the baby—but the cord is cut early, the breath is forced, the moment is stolen.
This is not protection.
It is control dressed in sterile robes.

📜 “But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.”
Exodus 1:17.
Shiphrah. Puah.
They stood in the face of genocide, not for fame, not for gold—but because they feared God, not Pharaoh.

And today? The decrees still come down from high.
"Do not attend without a permit."
"Report your sisters."
"Say nothing when they are dragged into court."
But we remember.
And we refuse.
🔗 We stand when told to kneel.
🛑 We speak when told to be quiet.
🤲 We catch life even when threatened with cages.

Midwives in Hungary. Shackled.
In South Africa. Charged.
In Pennsylvania. Investigated.
In New York. Erased from history.
In Australia. Jailed for attending what the mother chose.

Licensed or not, the threat is the same—because it’s not about safety.
It’s about sovereignty.

A woman, laboring in power, is dangerous to the powers. A baby born into peace instead of panic threatens the principalities.
And a midwife who says, “I answer to God, not your decree,” is their greatest fear.

Because we do not serve the gods of liability, nor the idols of compliance.
We do not offer incense to the state to be allowed to do what God has already called us to do.

So why do we fight?
Because birth is holy.
Because mothers are not property.
Because babies are not state commodities.
Because legacy matters more than law.
Because we were called for such a time as this.
We fear the Lord.

This is not soft work. This is a Holy war.

I have read actual research on this before, but I highly recommend if you’re trying to get pregnant or are pregnant, that you get rid of ALL products with phthalates and fragrance in them immediately.
