A Poem for the Dark Seasons
CRONE Sliding into the Old One’s merciful Darkness – into Her unknown blanking out of previous understandings It is an act of mercy It is an act of love. She covers me with her Darkness The blood that fills this space, this Womb is not for death it is for life. Drawing […]
Lammas Goddess Slideshow
On February 3rd at 14:40 UTC EarthGaia crosses the midpoint in Her orbit between Solstice and Equinox: for this year of 2021 C.E., and this date varies each year. In the Southern Hemisphere it is the Season of Lammas – the welcoming of the Dark, post-Summer Solstice. Lammas, and all of the dark part of the cycle, […]
Lammas/Imbolc @ EarthGaia 2019 C.E.
In the Southern Hemisphere it is the season of the waxing dark, post-Summer Solstice; and in the Northern Hemisphere it is the season of the waxing light, post-Winter Solstice. At this time in Earth’s annual orbit, which is our everyday sacred journey, Earth makes the post-Solstice transition, crossing the midpoint (the “cross-quarter”) between Solstice and […]
Imbolc-Lammas Moment @ EarthGaia August 2018
In the Southern Hemisphere, we are in the Season of the growing light celebrated as “Imbolc”/Early Spring: it is the first Seasonal Moment after Winter Solstice, the “cross-quarter” or meridian point between Solstice and Spring Equinox. In the North of the Planet it is the Season of the growing dark, celebrated as Lammas/Lughnasad: the first […]
Beginning Again
I have often felt the Season of Lammas as a beginning: perhaps it is all the black fabric and ribbons I use for decoration and expressing the celebration of the waxing dark. Black offers such a fresh start, a total dissolving, all slips away and new formation is possible: a merciful immersion. This poem below […]

Lammas/Imbolc Earth Moment
In the Southern Hemisphere, it is the Season of the waxing dark … we are transitioning to the cross-quarter moment between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox: it is the time to celebrate and nurture the new dark, and our native allurement to the Dark whence we come and to whom we return. At my place […]
Sacrifice is to Make Sacred in GoddessSpeak
In this season of Lammas: contemplating “making sacred”/sacrifice. The “making sacred”/sacrifice of Goddess is very different from the “sacrifice” demanded by patriarchal cosmology. The kind of “sacrifice” demanded by the father god of Christian cosmology, for example, may leave nothing for the self – it is an abnegation of the self. Whereas in Goddess cosmology […]
Making Sacred: Space for the Not-Yet
It seems timely … as well as Seasonal (for both Hemispheres): originally published in Goddess Pages issue 6 (2008) As the Wheel turns into Imbolc in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the Seasonal Moment of Lammas in the Southern Hemisphere. For those in the planet’s South, Earth’s tilt is delivering the post-Summer Solstice welcoming of the new Dark, the […]
