PaGaian Beltaine/High Spring Meditation

There are two parts to this meditation: it begins with the “Preparation” (1:56 mins), then the meditation (14:34 mins). Allow about 25 minutes of undisturbed time for this: that would include about 12 minutes for writing or quiet contemplating. You may like a little more time than this – for more writing at the end.

Beltaine/Samhain @ EarthGaia November 2025 C.E.

In our and Earth’s 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 […]

Crones, Hags and Elder Wise Women of Power Summit 2025: the interview with Glenys Livingstone PhD

It was such a pleasure to speak with Alison Palmer, host of the Crones, Hags and Elder Wise Women of Power Summit 2025. I consider it an honour to have been included amongst the more than 30 older women speaking; and very happy to be recognised as a Hag, who is in the process of […]

Equinox – Spring/Autumn @ Earth-Gaia September 2025 C.E.

Our Planet Earth – as She is most often named, comes to one of Her annual points of balance in Her orbit around Sun on September 22nd 18:19 UTC (that’s September 23rd 4:19 East Coast Australia, where I am). Other global times can be found at archaeoastronomy.com. This is one of two points of balance in […]

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 […]

Crones, Hags & Elder Wise Women Summit

Packing it up After Imbolc – Going with Her Creative Flow

As I reluctantly pack up the Imbolc ceremonial decorations this year (early August in the Southern Hemisphere where I am), I am conscious that this was perhaps the last Imbolc that I will celebrate here in this place, and even in the way as I have done for decades. As my partner and I age, […]

Imbolc/Lammas @ EarthGaia August 2025 C.E.

Our Planet enters into the waxing light Seasons in the Southern Hemisphere and the waxing dark Seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. These first transition Seasonal Moments after Solstice are frequently named in Old European tradition as Imbolc and Lammas respectively. We as Earth cross the midpoint (the “cross-quarter”) between Solstice and Equinox on August 7th […]

SOLSTICE @ EarthGaia JUNE 2025 C.E.

Earth enters the Season of Solstice at this time in Her orbit around our Mother Sun – one of two Solstices for the year. As the Southern Hemisphere enters the fullness of the dark part of the annual cycle, towards Winter Solstice when it will turn/ return to the growing light, the Northern Hemisphere enters the […]

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 […]
