Triple Goddess Breath Meditation

This meditation expresses the essence of PaGaian Cosmology as it has evolved over the last thirty-eight years (at the date of writing this); it has been a daily practice for me for almost two decades since the advent of the doctoral process in the late 1990’s that enabled a deepening and documentation of my sacred […]

Persephone’s Return or Departure?

Sometimes one can’t tell – is it a departure? or is it a return? It is often both – a return involves a departure. Persephone leaves one world to return to another; always it is so.

There is a bit of story about the dance, and instructions here (Appendix I of PaGaian Cosmology), and also in this […]

June Solstice @ EarthGaia 2017 C.E.

It is the Season of Solstice, when Earth’s tilt leans both hemispheres, South and North, to the furthest point in relationship with Mother Sun, our Source of life and being. Thus the hours of dark or light peak, come to fullness; and there is a turning, a re-turning, to the other again. Solstice may be […]
