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 […]

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 […]

PaGaian Beltaine/High Spring Meditation

This meditation is part of the PaGaian Cosmology Meditations published in 2015 on CD (which are still available), but offered here freely.

Allow about 25 minutes of undisturbed time for this: that would include about 12 minutes for writing or […]

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 […]

The Seasonal Moment of Equinox @ EarthGaia (as our Planet may be named[i]), will occur March 20th at 21:24 UTC (that’s “Universal Time” as it is named – measured at Greenwich England). Equinox is a moment of balance of dark and light for the Planet, when the dark and the light in the South and in the […]

December Solstice EarthGaia 2022 CE

For the Southern Hemisphere December Solstice is the Summer peaking of the light part of the day, and the turn /return to the dark part of the annual cycle. Out of the fullness of light the seed of dark is born: henceforth it will grow. It may celebrate the fullness of being, and the pouring […]

December Solstice – Summer/Winter 2021C.E.

The Season of Solstice celebrates the sacred Moment when Earth’s tilt leans both hemispheres, South and North, to the furthest point in relationship with Mother Sun: it is the Seasonal Moment when the hours of light or dark peak, come to fullness, and there is a turning, a re-turning, to the other again. Solstice may […]
