Creating a Womb of Gaia altar

A Womb of Gaia altar may represent a Place, and a practice, where you may enter into Her Creativity, place yourself in Her Womb consciously – where there is never-ending Creativity. It is a Place, in which we are held, and may be held consciously: with your conscious participation in this Creativity. The link above […]

PaGaian Beltaine/High Spring Meditation

There are two parts to this meditation: it begins with the “Preparation” (1:56 mins), then the meditation (14:34 mins). Allow about 25 minutes of undisturbed time for this: that would include about 12 minutes for writing or quiet contemplating. You may like a little more time than this – for more writing at the end. […]

Beltaine/Samhain @ EarthGaia November 2025 C.E.

In our and Earth’s everyday sacred journey around Mother Sun, we move into the Seasonal Moment of Beltaine/Samhain – as these Seasons are named in many Old European traditions. It is the cross-quarter transition between Equinox and Solstice. In the Southern Hemisphere it is the transition into High Spring/Beltaine, towards the Summer Solstice, and in the […]

Crones, Hags and Elder Wise Women of Power Summit 2025: the interview with Glenys Livingstone PhD

It was such a pleasure to speak with Alison Palmer, host of the Crones, Hags and Elder Wise Women of Power Summit 2025. I consider it an honour to have been included amongst the more than 30 older women speaking; and very happy to be recognised as a Hag, who is in the process of […]

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, […]
