A Lammas Ceremony
This video (16:45 minutes) was created with a collage of footage and photos from the recent Lammas ceremony I facilitated at my place in Wakka Wakka Country, South East Queensland Australia, and from previous Lammas ceremonies in MoonCourt over the decades. The script for this Lammas/Late Summer ceremony is offered in Chapter 10 of my […]
Her Holy Integral Blackness
Black is the chosen colour for PaGaian Lammas ceremonial decoration, for this Season when the dark part of the cycle is just new. It is for the purpose of identification with the Dark, falling in love with this place which is native to all being, becoming re-acquainted perhaps with this darkness in which we – […]
She Feeds the World with Her own Body
She so loves the world that She gives Her own Body daily: for the life of the world. The Gospel of Dea since the beginning of time. Note the present tense of “loves” and “gives”. It is so in every moment, not just some past heroic deed done by a “son” sent by a Deity […]
Harvest Dance for Lammas Ceremony
We may dance in celebration of our harvests – the reapings of our lives: and dance in trust of her Creative Dark. The dance that may be done is based on one that I learnt from Jean Houston, and I name it the “Harvest Dance”: Before we begin the dance, the celebrant traditionally asks: “Can […]
We Live in a Sentient Cosmos
We live in a sentient Cosmos. That is the premise of much of the Seasonal ceremonial celebration as it is done in the PaGaian tradition, the ceremonial marking of Her creative cycle: that is, with the understanding that ceremony is a conversation, a relationship with One who hears, as we listen also. This Cosmos is […]
Lammas Breath Meditation
… from PaGaian Cosmology Lammas/Late Summer ceremony: “Breathe this breath that is yours, as if it were your first … do you remember that it was so? Breathe this breath that is yours, as if it were your last … do you remember that it will be so? Breathe it now, this breath that is […]
As we turn towards the Dark: the Season of Lammas
After the peaking of Summer Solstice, there is the turn into the dark. Traditionally in Pagan circles, where this Seasonal transition is celebrated as “Lughnasad”, a straw man is burned, representing the passing of the fulfillment of Summer: all is given over, the harvest of the light part of the cycle is set, as the […]
A Poem for the Dark Seasons
CRONE Sliding into the Old One’s merciful Darkness – into Her unknown blanking out of previous understandings It is an act of mercy It is an act of love. She covers me with her Darkness The blood that fills this space, this Womb is not for death it is for life. Drawing […]
Lammas Goddess Slideshow
On February 3rd at 14:40 UTC EarthGaia crosses the midpoint in Her orbit between Solstice and Equinox: for this year of 2021 C.E., and this date varies each year. In the Southern Hemisphere it is the Season of Lammas – the welcoming of the Dark, post-Summer Solstice. Lammas, and all of the dark part of the cycle, […]
Beginning Again
I have often felt the Season of Lammas as a beginning: perhaps it is all the black fabric and ribbons I use for decoration and expressing the celebration of the waxing dark. Black offers such a fresh start, a total dissolving, all slips away and new formation is possible: a merciful immersion. This poem below […]
