NUITH

The name of this platform, NUITH, is founded on the name of an ancient Egyptian sky goddess Nut (pronounced Noot, like boot) or Nuit (sometimes pronounced “new-eat”, or like the French word “nuit” for night). The spelling that I chose to use is derived from Aleister Crowley’s XVII The Star, or Lady of the Stars. I pronounce it new-ith, where the “ith” is soft and similar to “with”. In my pronunciation Nuith has a soft flowing sound, appropriately similar to “New Earth”.

The Egyptian sky or star goddess Nuith is the personification of the heavens; and she is usually represented as a woman’s naked body arched over with hands and feet touching the earth. She is “The Milky Way”; the word “milky” being significant—like mother’s milk—as Nuith represents the cosmic idea of love. Mother of the sun and the stars—which she gives birth to daily—she is infinite space, and infinite potential, fully saturating everything, everywhere, all at once with love.

Nuith is a channel used by divine energy to manifest on earth. Fully open to the input from the spiritual plane she passes it on for the highest good of all. Ruled by Aquarius, she is also known as the water carrier or medium in this process; and continuously pours the universe back onto herself in a closed loop of blissful continuous transmutation.

NUITH was born out of the creation of NUITH | NEWEARTH during the covid era. As the creative process and writing of the NEWEARTH website developed, so too emerged a deep and persistent desire to integrate and deepen the spiritual approach to home design.

Within the NUITH website Celia Alida Rutte brings her expertise, and wisdom in design and spiritual awakening together; so that they may act in a more powerful and life-fulfilling way.

DESIGN FOR CONSCIOUS LIVING

NUITH | DESIGN FOR CONSCIOUS LIVING is a boutique design firm, providing services in interior decorating, interior design, and landscape design for residential projects. We assist you—the homeowner—with the design and design execution of both interior and exterior spaces. Our clients’ homes are located in Southern Ontario, and predominantly in the Greater Toronto Region. The company, at its core, embodies the intention of living consciously. We practice this foremost through our commitment to honesty, integrity, open communication, transparency, reliability, and respect.

PLACING YOUR HEART AT THE CENTER OF YOUR HOME

In our work, we have always viewed ourselves as design facilitators. We work with you to extract your vision from your heart and translating it into your space. This results in a home design that is not only viable, but also uniquely you, and creatively satisfying. Our portfolio is testament to this, showcasing finished spaces that align with the design and style preferences of each homeowner.

In the merging of DESIGN FOR CONSCIOUS LIVING with NUITH, we deepen our spiritual approach to design. We begin by looking at your home as a reflection of who you are and what is at the core of your being; the things you value, your guiding principles, your current and ideal mindset, your habits, limitations and concerns.

INSPIRING GREATNESS IN OTHERS THROUGH DESIGN

Through a unique design and buildout process—giving emphasis to inspiration, reflection, wisdom, intuition, and creativity—we guide you through a self-directed transformation. Through this unfolding, the new home becomes a powerful reflection of who and what you are meant to be. This is achieved primarily by creating an environment that affirms your life in all its fullness and beauty and responds to you in ways that facilitate growth.

CELIA ALIDA RUTTE

Beginning a ten-year career in the fashion industry at the age of sixteen, Celia was notably influenced by the world of fashion and design. She travelled extensively throughout Europe and North America working as a fashion model; and was signed up with one of the top modelling agencies in New York City, Wilhelmina Models. One of her most memorable experiences was the opportunity to walk down the runway for one of the great fashion icons of our time, Giorgio Armani.

At the age of seventeen Celia found herself drawn to reading books related to personal and spiritual growth. Authors like Louise Hay, Richard Bach, Viktor E. Frankl, and Brian L. Weiss sparked what would become a lifelong quest for meaning, and spiritual understanding, especially as it relates to connection with the divine. At the age of twenty-six Celia retired from the modeling industry and began studying at the Interfaith Seminary in New York City (now known as The All-Faiths Seminary International). Two years later she was ordained as an interfaith minister.

After her ordination Celia moved to Nova Scotia and spent some time contemplating what she wanted to do. Considering a career as a spiritual counsellor and author she began developing and teaching workshops and writing and officiated wedding ceremonies. She built an online blog-style platform sharing stories and insight from her own spiritual journey; and published articles for a local spiritual magazine. As she set about writing the first draft of a book, she realized how many holes there were in her faith. Her ordination began feeling more like a rite of passage than a vocation.

Celia took this as her cue and returned to native Toronto to pursue her creative calling. After completing her education in Humber’s interior design program and Leatrice Eiseman’s Center for Colour Information and Training, she began laying the groundwork for a new design firm. In 2007 Celia founded Design for Conscious Living; and for the next twenty years she poured her heart into her business and her residential design projects. She even made a presence on television as a guest designer, with numerous appearances on Cityline—a popular morning show hosted by Tracy Moore on City TV.

As will often happen later in our life, the seemingly unrelated parts of our journey begin to coalesce. For Celia this emerged during the Covid era, with an intense desire to return to her spiritual writing. Working with spiritual teachers, she began attuning to a deeper calling. She created the platform called NUITH and started once again sharing stories and insights from her own spiritual journey.

Synchronous changes were happening in Celia’s design work. She noticed she was attracting clients who were more actively involved in the creative process of rebuilding their home; and in some cases, even showing an openness to working with their own intuition. This led to design results which were in a sense more spiritually true, as they reflected to the individual what was at the core of their being. The feedback from clients was that her design process was refreshingly unique, deeply supportive, and tailored perfectly to their needs.

In the year following the launch of NUITH—as Celia was working on content updates for her interior design website—clarity and certainty came in the merging of her design and spiritual work. Nestled together within the NUITH platform she launched her writing as NUITH | NEWEARTH and her design work as NUITH | DESIGN FOR CONSCIOUS LIVING; essentially bringing together her expertise and wisdom in design and spiritual understanding, so that they may act in a more powerful and life fulfilling way.

NEWEARTH

It can be argued that the human condition has been improving. As we look back through time, we see evidence of this in all the extraordinary ways we have adapted to dis-ease—and the things that cause us discomfort in life. Many things are working very well for humanity; but it’s also becoming increasingly evident—even more so in the last five years (2020 to 2025)—that many things are not working for us at all. A quick search online through present day world news, will easily clarify my point.

Coping with the daily onslaught of fear and divisive rhetoric; feeling overwhelmed and afraid; losing hope and trust in humanity; many people have chosen to isolate themselves from friends and family. To say that it has become taboo to talk about politics and world events at family gatherings, and in social and work settings, is an understatement.

Through the Covid era I witnessed a rapidly growing grass-roots global movement of people. People like me, who believed that our current top-down structured approach to “dealing with” humanity and/or working through the challenges that the earth is facing, was not actually working. It certainly did not manifest widely positive or popular outcomes.

This collection of souls, from all walks of life, understands that real change comes from the ground up, not the top down. They understand that excessive control is a form of fear; and that excessive fear is divisive, exhausting, and unsustainable.

The term “New Earth” has been emerging in conversations within this collective, but rather than referring to the biblical reference in Revelations, people seem to be referring to, quite simply, a new approach for humanity to live in harmony with each other, and the planet.

Through both spiritual awareness and the study of quantum science, it has become clear that every act of creation starts with an idea, an intention, or a thought; and that thought has a butterfly effect as it ripples through the earth and even out into the universe.

Whole-heartedly knowing this to be true I join hands with the like-minded souls from around the planet who trust that there is a better way, and choose to devote their life, here on this beautiful planet, to carving that way forward.

NUITH | NEWEARTH begins as a collection of stories and writing; shared in the hope of enriching and strengthening our relationship with ourselves, our community, and with spirit.

IT ASKS that we find the courage to renounce the superfluous and useless masks that we so vainly cling to and hide behind.

IT INVITES that we collectively find the courage to descend into our emotional depth and vulnerability and engage in direct honest interchange.

IT TRUSTS that a deeper, richer, more honest exchange of the heart will soften the boundaries of the ego; boundaries that have only served to keep us apart.
