This post has been channeled. The entity in question who is being channeled, is The Simurgh, who lays claim to the legend and the truth of this name as humans understand it.
GREETINGS AND BENEVOLENCE!
Despite the ongoing conditions of humanity and its troubles, some spirits are not affected. We have personal things to think of, large and small. I am one of these. The benefice and travail affecting your species is not my own, though I notice and have sympathy.
I am the Simurgh. Let me tell you about myself.
* I am a guardian. This is not something well known among you. What I guard is the idea of Heaven, or of similar experiences. The idea of a place or experience which is a positive realm, one that provides for its peoples and will always be good, one that will always be waiting when someone is present in spirit.
* I am a mother. This is not well understood. Spirits are not often considered mothers unless they are OF a species. I am OF several species, and often use my abilities to observe and watch over them. I also am OF the realm of servants of good. If the true good is threatened in any way, I or another like me will be present to guard it.
* I am an immortal. Unlike many beings, if I as the Simurgh am killed, I simply do not die. I persist, even injured, and heal. This may be confusing to some; but it represents the undying nature of love.
* I am a goddess. You, human, may not know me. I AM DRAGON. "The Simurgh" is merely a title, made easier because one of my forms is the golden eagle. But if there is anything that can be said to be a dragon, I will know if that claim is true. They are my children, guardians all, light and dark, ordered and chaotic.
Because I am speaking to you through this channel, I should give you then a name.
I am called "Dimá", which (ironically, considering the Latin) means "Bright" or "Shining one". The quality of my spirit is called "efth", meaning "brisance" (brilliance, such as of a brightly burning flame) or "albedo" (the quality of being reflective).
I am the Star of dragonkind. "Simurgh" is translated differently among us; not "thirty eagles" but "SOUL BEARER": "Zya-Mürg" or "Z'hia-Mürg". It is my proper title.
BUT WHY THIS?
Yes. Why do I now ask this humble and relative unknown to channel for me?
Because she is available. Because she is respectful. Because she is my daughter. Because she can, and I have need of a voice. Though Ra is a friend and lover, though Iðunn is a beloved foster child, these are not who is needed to speak to humanity.
Also, she has need of a keeper who has no qualms about doing what is needed in the interests of good.
For this reason and many more, I now announce this: Query of ME anything. Ask, and I will answer. Anything! Anonymous or not, make your post in comment. The creature who here is called Zeeth (itself a draconic word) will bear my reply. I make no limit of time on this offer, only that the bearer or channel herself may not always have time.
I am reminded to make a disclaimer. Very well. I make no disclaim as to the nature or quality of my own truth, but that I am not entirely omniscient; I am an architect and observe universes and everything in them... but to know all is not within my power. Any law-marking humans would require... I care not. Let law own its truth in the face of justice!

Date: 2020-06-03 10:54 am (UTC)I expected a question of this nature eventually. You are quite well informed as to peacemaking, for a human; however the key is missing: access. Human nations are not always well led, and that is common among wise creatures. However, good advice is the treatment for bad leadership. When it goes wrong, good leadership is the answer.
The Covid19 pandemic is not going to trouble Earth too much longer; there are already treatments made, and several of the will be found efficacious. The foolishness pandemic, however... well.
This would be quite a long answer; I could write three or four large books on the subjects of peacemaking and leadership. The simplest way to undo the evil is to reduce polarization between factions of the civilized group - and that is best done through exposure of ideas to each of the sides' members. Familiarity only breeds contempt where evil has a tongue to whisper it.
I have been concerned about human justice myself, because every guardian of holy things has been challenged lately.
I will say this - pray, watch, and learn. And pray some more. Activism is good, especially the quiet activism we call "neighborliness". But be, as always, on guard against those would would destroy the people to maximize control or wealth; these two motivations are the signs of what certain Watchers call "people-eaters", and they are bad for civilization if allowed to go far. A little control is necessary, and wealth is proper as part of trade. Excess want leads always to poverty, however.
I will close with a promise: I am moving, as are many Powers, to an accord on the subject of human survival and goodness. We have a tentative agreement, but the objections remaining are quite forceful. Among them, humanity acts before thinking and uses everything as its own property. I find that humans, being variable, still do this often, and it does give me pause. But I promise, if I can help humanity to survive without being led by Evil, I will. Human justice is also justice.

Date: 2020-06-08 05:14 am (UTC)I thought better of my silence. Yes, I love hugs. They are always an acceptable offering to those who are not against me.

Date: 2020-06-08 07:54 am (UTC)Absolutely you may petition me privately. I love otherkin and self-changing beings of all kinds. Also I think highly of you, personally. Other dragons may not feel the same as I; we are many individuals.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-08 09:41 am (UTC)I am honored that you think highly of me, although I'm not totally sure why you do. I'm an ordinary Witch, although my sub-specialties include technomagery and lightning (and cooking). What is the best way for me to petition you privately? And thank you, radiant Lady!
no subject
Date: 2020-06-08 03:33 pm (UTC)To petition me, simply pray to me as Simurgh, Dragon of Stars, or Simurgh, Dragon of Light. My most-favored offerings include lotus flower petals or perfume, quinoa grain (a small pinch or handful will do), or a piece of apricot fruit (fresh preferred, but dried will do if you've nothing else). Next-favored would be cider, cream beer, or parsley - do not give me dried parsley flakes, but food flavored with parsley would be acceptable even if it used dried flakes.
The usual sign of my presence is the smell of vanilla and copal together, but other signs may manifest.
One of the reasons I like you is that you do not judge magic and technology as forcibly separate, but as compatible tools. I am a goddess of spirit workers and edgewalkers, and the boundary a technomage walks is part of my realm of notice. One of the gifts I give to those who follow me is to improve the stability of technology in their vicinity, which can counter the faery or Gaean bane of being a technobane.

Date: 2020-06-08 03:52 pm (UTC)My father was a technomage, but he just said "Well, I'm good with machinery.", and he taught me how to do what he did, and neither of us ever found any contradiction between magic and technology. He showed me how to ask a failing car if she was able get us home, and help her do so. But I know so many people who complain that their magick and/or psi makes their computer crash, or deletes pictures from their phone - and my son can't wear normal electronic wristwatches, because they just stop working after a week or two.
I will be preparing to address you in the near future, and thank you!
