Imbolc/Lammas Season@ EarthGaia 2020 C.E.
At this time in Earth’s annual orbit, which is our everyday sacred journey (no need to go anywhere), Earth makes the post-Solstice transition. In the Southern Hemisphere it is the season of the waxing light, post-Winter Solstice; and in the Northern Hemisphere it is the season of the waxing dark, post-Summer Solstice. We as Earth […]
PaGaian Cosmology Preface
The term “PaGaian” requires some explanation: it expresses a reclaiming of the term “Pagan” as meaning a person who dwells in “country”, yet with “Gaian” spliced in, it expresses a renewed and contemporary understanding of that “country”. “Gaia” is a name for humanity’s Habitat, an ancient yet new name, which I understand to include whole […]

We Are the Ancestors
… for the current Samhain Season (in the Southern Hemisphere), as well as the planetary meltdown we witness: may we remember a deeper story always present. This was originally published in Gaian Voices Volume 6, Number 1 & 2, 2008 (by Glenys Livingstone Ph.D.) In the last couple of years two significant friends of mine have passed, trans-formed. […]
Pagan Review of My Name is Medusa
MY NAME IS MEDUSA By Glenys Livingstone Ph.D., Illustrated by Arna Baartz. Review by Veronica Scoot, for The Small Tapestry, Pagan Awareness Network newsletter, Spring 2016.

The Equinoxes as Story of Redemption: Sacred Balance of Maternal Creativity
Each year in March and September, the Autumn and Spring Equinoxes occur at the same time on the Planet – they are the Seasonal Moments of balance of light and dark, in the dark part and in the light part of the year respectively. The story essentially enacted and told at these seasonal transitions is […]
Sacred Words of Spring Equinox
