PaGaian Cosmology Course: a Poiesis of the Creative Cosmos

For those living in the Northern Hemisphere, my course in PaGaian Cosmology is starting with the current advent of Autumn there: with the Introduction which is substantial, and then with Samhain material sent by mid-late October. This course is rich in material, and suitable for the novice as well as the experienced who may wish to […]

Equinox – Spring/Autumn @ Earth-Gaia September 2025 C.E.

Our Planet Earth – as She is most often named, comes to one of Her annual points of balance in Her orbit around Sun on September 22nd 18:19 UTC (that’s September 23rd 4:19 East Coast Australia, where I am). Other global times can be found at archaeoastronomy.com. This is one of two points of balance in […]

The Full Story of Spring Equinox and Emergence

The return of strength of being, and joyful emergence/appearance of the long awaited lost beloved one (however that may be expressed), that is celebrated at Spring Equinox, has required first the descent, the journey to the underworld. Such a journey to the Great Below, has been required for the wisdom and joy of this Moment. […]

The Whole Universe in Every Mouthful: Daily Communion

I first became conscious of this truth by way of cosmologist/physicist Brian Thomas Swimme. He noted this connectivity particularly in video two of his old and germinal series Canticle to the Cosmos; and in part of that teaching, he held up an apple as an example of the whole universe involved in one bite of it […]

Packing it up After Imbolc – Going with Her Creative Flow

As I reluctantly pack up the Imbolc ceremonial decorations this year (early August in the Southern Hemisphere where I am), I am conscious that this was perhaps the last Imbolc that I will celebrate here in this place, and even in the way as I have done for decades. As my partner and I age, […]

Imbolc/Lammas @ EarthGaia August 2025 C.E.

Our Planet enters into the waxing light Seasons in the Southern Hemisphere and the waxing dark Seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. These first transition Seasonal Moments after Solstice are frequently named in Old European tradition as Imbolc and Lammas respectively. We as Earth cross the midpoint (the “cross-quarter”) between Solstice and Equinox on August 7th […]

SOLSTICE @ EarthGaia JUNE 2025 C.E.

Earth enters the Season of Solstice at this time in Her orbit around our Mother Sun – one of two Solstices for the year. As the Southern Hemisphere enters the fullness of the dark part of the annual cycle, towards Winter Solstice when it will turn/ return to the growing light, the Northern Hemisphere enters the […]

Samhain/Beltaine @ EarthGaia May 2025 C.E.

At this time of our annual orbit around Mother Sun, Earth’s tilt moves us into the Seasons of Samhain and Beltaine – as they are commonly named in Old European traditions. In the Southern Hemisphere, the dark part of the day continues to grow and dominate, and in the Northern Hemisphere the light part of […]

A Review of A Poiesis of the Creative Cosmos

From Hollie Wildethorn (Bakerbolijkovac) This is a review of my friend Glenys Livingstone‘s latest book. Note, I don’t get anything special or any kickbacks for writing this review and sharing the book with you. I simply believe Glenys’ work is great and is worth looking at if you’re interested in creating ceremony and meaning in your […]
