Well, this is something I can do- you might call it service in the mode of Pythonos... I have decided not to try and "set up shop" for any sorts of "Readings", from this soil- but perhaps a little in a less formal manner...
The chief occult reason for the Nature afflictions in the California area- and some others as well- has to do with the Native American Indians, very much- as also with the white European immigrants, (who have not really treated or nurtured the Indians well enough)! Neiither ethnic groups are reproducing much- as regards the white caucasians, one might say that Love Is Dead in America, possibly! Sexual and gender politics have led to sort of a stalemate, perhaps- American women are dissimulating with the men, to a good degree; other issues weaken here as well. This is not an aeon to nurture hostile feelings towards the Indians. Be reverent. Manifest Destiny was and is a legitimate doctrine, but it does not mean we take all their lands and relinquish any Hoot about them! One primary reason the Europeans were led to this continent was due to a health need for corn- maize, as the writer Paul Twitchell has interpreted! Mother Nature- called Danu since olden times- and the Fire God would be pleased with improvement or rectification in these issues! There are the Land Rights which are defined by ink on paper, and there are also sometimes more veracious Land Rights interpretations which don't always jibe fully with the former.

In reading your post Iconnoclasticus, I have noticed that the notion from which your perspective is rooted in, is Eckankar spiritism, a New Age belief that is derived from the Hindu religion. It incorporates earth worship (since, of course Danu is, in Irish mythology, a "goddess" who is believed to be associated with the land, regarding “her” as a sort of “Mother Earth” type figure) with spirits and “flows of energy” that supports and sustains life throughout this known material world. This also ties in well with Native American spiritism (from a universal sense), since Native Americans practiced a similar worship of nature and the spirits that are/were believed to drive “her”.
From a spiritual sense, I do not subscribe to this set of beliefs for a variety of reasons. But whenever a person brings to attention Native Americans and the seizure of land from the early settlers, a string of factors always ends up never factored in, which enhances a doctored view of what we think happened, and how it happened. A single “for instance” is, when you singled out California. California went through a series of environmental and cultural changes from the time European settlers came to this country to the time it became a part of the United States in 1850. That said, by the time the British began colonizing in Jamestown (in 1607) to the time of the American revolution (in 1776), California was the property of Mexico (as was Texas, and others), which was the property of Spain, and Spain colonized California, which affected greatly the lives of a variety of Native American tribes who had already settled there beforehand. That said, after the revolution, Mexico had a revolution of their own from Spain. But after that, there was a series of revolts between California and Mexico that eventually led to California’s independence from it and its adoption into the United States with the help of British and American residents who helped to free it along. And so, the point that I am trying to convey here is that even though Native Americans were residents in these lands, they had no overall sovereign power structure (what with its own line of superior resources, legal and political foundation, and military) to really make it "theirs" so to speak, as the land that they happened to reside in changed hands. And so, whenever I hear that “we,” the “white", "Christian", "man” took all of “their land,” it, in grave ignorance, disregards all of the factors to feed on a disingenuous political narrative that lumps in the bad from one era, while distorting the good from another era, and it has unfortunately fed into an anti-western sentiment that is prevailing to this day.
