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.

Recognising the Beauty whom She Desires
This is the traditional response of the group to each participant in the Beltaine ceremonial circle, after each has spoken of, or expressed in some way, the beauty that they are – recognising and naming themselves as the Beauty whom She desires: it may be with a photo of themselves at anytime in their lives, […]
Beltaine: a Celebration of the Magic of Light
In my PaGaian cosmology I have been so concerned to be re-valuing the Dark (in a cultural context that denied its essential creativity), that I have perhaps not noted sufficiently the magic of Light. Light has indeed been paid a lot of lip service in new age and traditional religious/spiritual language; but I wonder how […]

Some Thoughts About Holy Desire
All being knows desire in elemental ways, for water, for food, for sustenance: and many beings also know desire for air, and most creatures and plants know desire for relationship in some form, and for care. We come into being with these primordial desires, this hunger, this longing – we don’t make it up[i]. Each […]
The Elemental Sensuousness of the Present Moment
As Beltaine Season comes around, it may be a time for remembering the sensuousness of the present moment, and our deep desire for this sensuousness. Deep within every present moment is the ever-present ‘glue’ that holds all things in form, that unites the Cosmos. If it were not present in every moment then we would […]
Eyes of Goddess
… the Eyes of Goddess … we walk between Her eyes in Beltaine ceremony, to be seen by Her. To be seen by Her is healing, wholing, restoring … as opposed to the patriarchal gaze that judges, evaluates, diminishes. In these recent times (this era) the act of seeing has commonly become an act of […]
Seeing Her Land: the Twin Fires of Beltaine
Once cast from the sun, light streams onto planet Earth like liquid. It freely enters us as both photon and wave. In daylight, we ingest billions of photons during every open-eyed moment. As waves, light vibrates into us. It is transduced, within several layers of retinal tissue, into electrobiochemical pulses surging deeply into the tissue […]
