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 […]

A Journey with Inanna by Glenys Livingstone Ph.D

Forty years ago (1978) I signed a letter to an editor “in the name of She who is rising;” he had rejected an article I had submitted on women and religion. Indeed, many now witness that She has risen since then, prolifically, and ever more so, collectively; and also for me personally. I reflect on […]

A Samhain Ceremony

The purpose of the video is for ceremony, and I suggest pausing the video where it suits you, to add your own processing, embellishments and/or your own drum, percussion and voice wherever you please. I have made short spaces in the video where it could be paused. For more full participation in the ceremony, you […]

A Southern Hemisphere Wheel of the Year

I was born in the Southern Hemisphere – in the Great South Land of Australia – and as a white Western European girl child.  Most of the texts and graphics explaining the Cosmos to an Australian and white child were (and still often are) drawn from the Northern Hemisphere perspective.

(Book Review) Hallie Iglehart Austen’s The Heart of the Goddess

This beautiful and ovarian work, The Heart of the Goddess  by Hallie Iglehart Austen, has a new edition. I have the original edition which was published in 1990, and my copy is very worn with zealous use. The images, teachings and meditations within it have been essential to my journey – personally, and professionally, and do […]

(Book Review) Myths Shattered and Restored, editors Marion Dumont & Gayatri Devi

What a pleasure to read this collection of diverse scholarly voices who speak of global mythological/spiritual traditions from within a Goddess frame: that is, from within a frame where She is understood as primal in an organic way, and without any apology. This is Volume 1 of proceedings from an annual conference of the Association […]

Interview with PaGaian Cosmology author, Glenys Livingstone Ph.D.

This interview with Glenys Livingstone, author of PaGaian Cosmology, was done by Anya Grace of EastWest Woman, for Anya’s on-line event “Elevated Woman” in February 2018. Originally named as “Historical Origins of the Divine Feminine and the Re-storying of the Goddess”, the interview covers insights into the formation and essence of PaGaian Cosmology. It was a joyful exchange.
