So you worship a female deity you call “Mother Nature.” How can she be known? Served? What is her character? What exactly is her will? Does she provide a transcendent ground for ethics?

You make unwarranted assumptions, and extremely intrusive questions. Do all of your conversations transpire in this manner?

So you worship a female deity you call “Mother Nature.”

No.

"How can she be known?"

If you don't know the answer to that, you must be too much a city person. Get out into the country for a bit.

"Served?"

Serve Mother Nature? Her ants can have the leftovers from my picnics.

"What is her character?"

The difference between a jungle, and a rainforest is this: When you're flying over it in a small plane, you can look down and admire the rainforest.

When your plane goes down into it, it becomes a jungle. You will be eaten. That is the character of Mother Nature. Keep your plane in good repair.

"What exactly is her will?"

That's a good one. I'd say her will is curiosity, with a nasty disposition.

"Does she provide a transcendent ground for ethics?"

Only by negative example.
