The Divine She is Past, Present, and Future

This was written and spoken as the conclusion to a Women-Church presentation, Sydney, Australia, by Glenys Livingstone, on August 16th 1990. This was the seed for her later doctoral work which did not begin until 1999, after much trauma and collapse – a falling apart before the new could re-created: PaGaian Cosmology emerged. We are […]

Crone Quality/Aspect of Great Goddess

This is an edited recording of a radio program, from a twelve part series named Re-membering the Great Mother, authored and put to air by Glenys Livingstone in 1994, for 2BLU-FM 89.1, community radio in the Blue Mountains, Australia: Gundungurra and Darug country. I created this radio series after a personal shattering and underworld journey, […]

Solstice @ EarthGaia December 2024 C.E.

Earth enters the Season of Solstice at this time in Her orbit around our Mother Sun. It is one of two Solstices for the year, the other being in June. For the Southern Hemisphere December Solstice is the Summer fullness and peaking of the light, and the awesomeness of the turn /return to the dark part […]

Return to the Mother Online Summit

The re-storation of Her and the return to Her, has been my passion for four and a half decades, so I am delighted to be one of the featured speakers in this Return to the Mother online summit, being created and produced by sister Australian friend and colleague, Frances Billinghurst.  The topic I will speak about is Creating a […]

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. The meditations offer a Deep Time perspective incorporated into the Seasonal Wheel of the Year. Allow about 25 minutes of undisturbed time for this: that would include about 12 minutes for writing or […]

Beltaine/Samhain @ EarthGaia November 2024 C.E.

In our everyday sacred journey around Mother Sun we move into the Seasonal Moment of Beltaine/Samhain, as these Seasons are named in many Old European traditions. It is the cross-quarter transition between Equinox and Solstice. In the Southern Hemisphere it is the transition into High Spring/Beltaine, towards the Summer Solstice, and in the Northern Hemisphere it […]

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, […]

Revealing and Reweaving Our Spiralic Herstory with Glenys Livingstone by Alison Newvine

Glenys Livingstone PhD was born and lives in Australia where she has facilitated seasonal ceremony for decades, taught classes and mentored apprentices. She has published four books with Girl God Books and contributed to numerous GGB and Mago anthologies. […]

Equinox – Spring/Autumn @ Earth-Gaia September 2024 C.E.

Our Planet – “Earth” or “Gaia” as we may name Her (and both are Goddess names[i]), comes to one of Her annual points of balance in Her orbit around Sun on September 22nd 12:44 UTC (that’s 22:44 East Coast Australia, where I am). Other global times can be found at  archaeoastronomy.com. This is one of two […]

A Spelling and Con-spiring for Imbolc

The Imbolc Moment has just passed in the Southern Hemisphere (on August 7th), but it is still the Season … and the intention may be so in every moment wherever you are, and as a new day breaks around the globe. (a 3 minute video)
