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 […]

Lammas/Imbolc Season @ EarthGaia 2023 C.E.

With the passing of Solstice Season our Planet enters into the waxing dark Seasons in the Southern Hemisphere and the waxing light Seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. These first of the transition Moments after Solstice are frequently named in Old European tradition as Lammas and Imbolc respectively. We as Earth cross the midpoint (the “cross-quarter”) […]

Imbolc/Lammas Season @ EarthGaia 2022C.E.

As Earth/we make our/Her everyday sacred journey around Sun, in the Southern Hemisphere the young light ‘born’ at Winter Solstice is waxing and in the Northern Hemisphere the young dark ‘born’ at Summer Solstice is waxing.

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 […]

Earth makes Her post-Solstice transition at this time in our/Her annual orbit, which is Her/our everyday sacred journey: no need to go anywhere!

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 […]
